The liberty loan campaign opens in
this county this week. Every man
and woman in the county who posi-
bly, can should invest in one or more
liberty bonds. It is the only invest
ment now that is really worth the
money. Nothing you can buy from
the stores now is worth the price you
have to pay for it, but liberty bonds
will be worth more. than face value
any time in the future. A hundred
dollar bond will be as good as hun
dred dollar bill in the years to come.
Anything else you buy now will de-
crease in value after the war. Invest
as much of your savings in bonds as
you can possibly spare, and if you
cannot invest in a liberty bond, buy
as many war stamps as possible. Let
everybody know that you are back
OF the government. It is a poor patri-
sotism that cannot reach down in your
pockets. During the last loan the
county fell far short of it's allotment.
Let 1t not be said of the third liberty
loan that Bamberg county did not do
her part, and more.

People should not become excited
and alarmed over reports of the work
of German propaganda; and yet it
is very well indeed for everybody to
be on the lookout for evidences of
German influence in this country;
and things are just as likely to hap
pen in Bamberg county as anywhere
else in the country 1t is an indisput-
able fact that it is one of the plans
OF the German government to break
Gown tne morale of the people of
and country with which she is at war
in any manner possible. Such in
cidents as the poisoning of bread,
communicating water supplies, and so
on, is one of the favorite pastimes
of the Germans, and things of this
kind may be looked for in this coun-
try. No one may suppose that Ger
many is going to let America alone.
That is not the German way of doing
things. Even the smallest things are
not overlooked by that country. Ger
many is a postmaster in the art. of
war.

The Germans were stopped in their
last advance on Paris by the British
soldiers, who fought against heavy
odds, the German superiority in
numbers being in some sections of
the battle front not less than three
or four to one. Considering this,
nothing else may have been expected
other than a retreat. But the bat
tie is now going the other way. The
German advance is now aimed
against the French. We may have
no doubts that the French will do
their full part, and it is now con-
ceded by military authorities that the
odds are no longer with the Germans,
but with the allies. And Americas
hundred thousand will do their share
in keeping these barbarians out off
Paris, you may be sure.

Reduce Shoe Prices.

There has already been drop in
the prices charged by retailers for
footwear in England in view OF the
governments action in placing on the
market standardized shoes made at
controlled rates of profit, according
to a report to the United States De-
partment of Commerce.
At-a recent exhibition of war
time boots SO samples were shown,
ranging from heavy boots for carriers
and laborers to shoes for ordinary
street use, and childrens shoes.
Prices range from s2.06 to s6.3S a
pair. The shoes are made entirely of
leather and the retailers price is
stamped on the sole.
Italian shoe factories are manu-
featuring standardized shoes, using
leather furnished by the government,
which controls the system of sales to
the public.
In England the manufacture of
standard cloth for mems suits has
made rapid progress, "a patterns
being included in the first goods
shown. AS now planned, provision
is made for 100000 to 100000
suits ready for delivery from June to
August. The project may later in
clude production of certain classes of
cloth for women's wear, with a grad
ually widening range of production
under government Standardization.

South Carolina has not been so
well represented in Washington
in many years as it is today,
and we would advise that
the people of the State should be
careful about making any changes.
In our opinion it would be a grave
mistake to put anybody in Senator
Tillman's place. Although he is not
as strong and vigorous as he once
was, he is worth more in the senate
than any other man in the State, and
this fact must certainly be apparent to
any thinking man. We do not believe
that Representative Lever will
make the mistake of offerinafor the
senate. 1t would be most unfortu-
nate to the State if he did. In his
present position in the lower house.
he is of great value and benefit to
the State. What his position would
be il, the senate, conceding that he
would be elected, is very uncertain.
Some great great men in the lower
house who have been elevated to the
senate, were never heard about after
ward. We do not say that this would
be the case of Mr.. Lever, but he
would be taking a long chance. His
chances of election, too, would be
very uncertain, and altogether we
think it would be disastrous to the
State for him to even take chance
at the senate. Senator Tillman's in
fuence in the senate is second,
perhaps, to that of no man in con-
gress, and it is our candid and frank
opinion that he should certainly stay
there; at least until the present crisis
is over.
