H HONOR FLAG.

Charleston.-Upon /the coopera-
ton shown by the postmasters of
the postofices in South Carolina de-
ponds the awarding of the honor
flag which is to be presented to the
county which reports the greatest
amount of cash sales made in the
intensive w. S. S. campaign which
ended June 20. All sales made up
to the close of last week-June 29-
will be credited to the counties if
they are reported in time to reach
the state headquarters not later
than the first mail Friday morning.
This means that postmasters and
banks that are second class agents
should not fail to send their reports
in at the earliest moment possible.
Reports that reach the state COM
mittee later than Friday morning
will not be counted among the June
sales, and negligence on the part of
the postmasters and second class
agents may cause. a deserving coun-
ty to lose the honor flag. While
most postmasters have been prompt
in reporting, the State Committee
points out that last week, when
$357,919 worth of stamps were sold
only 4Os of $40 postniasters re-
ported. 1t is of critical importance
that there be no failures to report
this week. .
Through failure to report in time,
Rock Hill was not credited last week
with sales of $4,000.
