when the singing is over, Miss Tif-
fany will write to Mp Edison on her
new typewriter how much you en-
joyed the concert, and Mr.. Harris
will drive us around the bend in
Uncle Jim's new auto-with me still
sitting on the back seat and presid-
ing at the meeting. The first Sc
lection is
The Old Gray Mare, is Not What
She Used to Be, which will now be
sung with soul by Miss Tiffany:
Applause"
Well, I hope you can see from
this that the concert is to be one of
the biggest things which ever hap
pened in Abbeville, and it is to
be free for the asking. All you have
to do is drop in the Emporium, price
a rug, have it sent up on trial, get
a ticket, and send the rug back the
next morning, or if you are not
that sharp, you can get the ticket
just by asking. But if you are look
ing for bargains, you can take a
seat in the front part of the Empo-
rum, while Roy Power plays you a
tune on the Edison, and while you
are listening, Sam McCuen will
come very near having you to make
your mark to mortgage on the fin
est piece of furniture in the En-
porium.
Now I must hurry home and mem
orize the Valedictory which my boy
J. D. Jr., has written, and which !
have not yet completely memorized,
or I would give it to you along with
the rest. It has a few military terms
in it which I must get on to, and
the salute is a little hard. You
know, though, that my boy is going
to the Bailey Military Academy and
it is proper that we should give the
concert a military touch. You know
how it is from your boy, Marston.
So good afternoon, and pleasant
dreams tonight.
Your Cousin, Davis.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
AND LIBERTY BONDS

OAoAiSoSoAS SSPes AhS w a.
Savings Stamp campaign and the
Liberty Bond campaign do not con-
flict with each other any more than
Uncle Sans splendid army and navy
conflict; any more than humanity
and freedom conflict with each other.
The two campaigns are just as much
in harmony with each other as the
heroic soldiers of America who are
fighting in harmony with the gallant
soldiers of our Allies" declares the
South Carolina War Savings Com
mittee, in a statement just issued,
and continues as follows:
"The W. S. S. campaign and the
Liberty Loan campaign are both of
absolute importance toward the f.
nancing of the war. The failure of
either of the two campaigns would
be disastrous-is unthinkable. No
American whose heart is in this war,
who conscientiously intends to full
fill the sacred obligations which he
owes to the nations fighting men,
can for an instant think that by
buying War Savings Stamps he re-
lieves himself of the duty of buying
Liberty Bonds, or that because he
purchases Liberty Bonds he need not
purchase w. S. S. His argument
would be as weak as that of the man
who feels that he can waste coal be-
cause he conserves food.
Before an individual feels that
he has loaned as much money as he
can to the government, he should asq
himself if he has denied himself need.
less luzuries and personal indulgen-i
ces which are not necessary to health
and efficiency. Unless he has done
this he cannot honestly and conscien-
tiously fail to buy Liberty Bonds and
War Savings Stamps to the utmost
limit of his resources. With the cas-
ualty list constantly increasing, and
with the nations armies drawing an
increasing number of men from their
homes to fight for the nations free
dom, there will be sccr* ;>atience on
tie part of the public with those who
deny the government the loan of mon
ey which they can well afford to in
vest not only in W.S.S. but in Liber-
ty Bonds as WELL
"The Liberty Loan Campaign is.
primarily to obtain the many billions
of dollars needed toward paying the !
expense of the war and lending to !
our allies. The War Savings Stamp
Campaign is destined, not only to |
have the men, women and children in
vest in W.S.S. the money that they
would otherwise spend on needless :
luxuries, but also to teach the nation
to save-to save not merely money,
but the goods and services needed by
the government toward winning the
war" .,...-.

Home FROM Pierre
MADISON NORMAL RECEIVES
NEARLY $4,000 APPRO-
PRIATION.

Senator Hans Urdahl returned
yesterday from Pierre, wnere he at
tended a week of strenuous extra
session Of the legislature as called by
Gov. Peter Norbeck. Mr.. Urdahl
said that most of the bills recon-
mended by the administration were
put through, and that they were pre-
pared in such shape as to make it
unnecessary for much committee
work. There was in some instances
amendments offered and changes
made, but there was little opportu-
nifty for initiating any bills or pro-
visions on the part of the legislators.
However, some appropriations were
made, one of interest to Madison
amounting to nearly $4,000 to COW
er deficits and additional expendi-
ture of the Madison Normal. Mr..
Urdahl said that special attention
was directed to the condition of the
girls dormitory being without fire
escapes, and characterized the mat
ter as bordering upon the criminal of
assumed risk.

RAMONA RED CROSS
RAMONA ROMPS INTO LINE WITH
$1,000 SALE - BUSINESS
SUSPENDED.

Overlapping anything in this vi
cinity in the way of Red Cross auc-
tions, Ramona raised $1,000 Satur-
day afternoon and evening in one of
the most enthusiastic events of the
kind ever staged. Business was
wholly suspended, and in the e
ing every window was dark except
those of the barber shop operated by
Herman Witt, who turned into the
management of the sale so cents for
every shave and 81 for every haircut.
A kangaroo court was established.
and those who were unwilling or
tardy about showing enthusiasm
were hailed before this tribunal and
compelled to make settlement at ex-
orbitant rates. Col. Trip and DIR.
w. f. Kinney were the a~uctioneers,
and with the practice they have had
in the work of the Red Cross con-
tributed largely, or mostly to the
success of the event.
The initial bids on the stuff Of
fered were at a figure at which most
sales sold the article, DR.. Kinney
said this morning. 1t started way
above the market prices. Every Of
fering was taken promptly. DR..
Robinson and father, moving from
Oldham, was a~pprehended on the
street, hailed before the court, and
fined a dollar each. The two dollars
were offered at auction and were
sold for $50.
DR.. w. A. Rothschild. who was
present, said that they could not be
headed off. A boy gave five copies
of the Saturday Evening Post, and
they were sold at $2S. A small cake
brought S2O1. A clothes line
brought $50, and rs sacks of flour
were sold at $40 each. The whole
proceeding was one of enthusiastic
and enjoyable patriotism, its intens-
ity being measured by the earnest
ness Of the boy who robbed a hens
nest and offered the eggs for sale,
and they brought the nice sun of
$40.

II. $. AUDITORIUM LAST
EVENING.

Many people were Obliged to stand
last evening throughout the service
at the high school auditorium, al
though extra seats had been brought
from the churches to try to accom-
modate all who wished to attend the
service. The musical numbers were
beautifully rendered. The choir of
mixed voices sang special numbers.
There was also a number by the
male choir that was much appreciat-
ed. The solo by Mrs. Hopper was
beautifully rendered and was most
trombone played The Palms." as an
offertory appropriate to Palm Sun
day. Rev. Smith spoke or the text,
What will we do with Jesus?" This
was said by PLATE to the people
when Jesus was on trial for his life.
Everyone is called upon to decide
this question n way or another.
We either decide for or against. No
man can say that 1t does not concern
him. The speaker made a strong ap-
peal for each n to decide for Christ
and at the close many came forward
to indicate this decision.
There was a good attendance at
the mems meeting in the afternoon
and the interest was intense through
out the service. A male chorus of 20
voices furnished special music. 1t is
quite evident that the interest in
these special services is increasing.
This being Passion week it is ex-
pected that the attendance and inter-
est will be very great.

AWFUL SLAUGHTER
OF GERMAN TROOPS
FIGHTING CONTINUES ALL
ALONG THE WESTERN
FRONT.

London, March 25.-Fresh attacks
by the Germans have developed
northward and southwark of Ba-
paume, the war office announces.
The British repulsed powerful at
tacks yesterday afternoon northward
of Bapaume.
The British drove back to the east
ern bank of the Somme bodies of
German troops which had crossed
the river between Licourt and Brie,
south of Peronne.
The battle continues with great
violence on the whole front. Power
full attacks delivered by the enemy
yesterday afternoon and evening
north of Bapaume were heavily re-
pulsed. Only at one point did the
German infantry reach our trenches,
whenc they were Immediately thrown
out. Elsewhere the enemy's attacks
were stopped by rifle, machine gun
and artillery fire in front of our po-
sitions and his troops were driven
back with great loss.
During the night and this morning
fresh hostile attacks have again de-
veloped in this neighborhood and al
so to the south of Bapaume.
South of Peronne bodies Of Ger
man troops which had crossed the
river between Licourt and Erie were
driven back to the east bank by our
couAter attacks.
The French on Saturday went to
the assistance of the British and took
over a sector of the battle front, the
war office announces.
In the region of Noyon and on the
right bank of the Disc, heavy fight
ing with the Germans is in progress.
All the roads in the rear of the
German advance are blocked by col
umn of troops, guns and transport
vehicles, furnishing targets upon
which the British artillery is making
deadly play. Rough estimate of the
casualties inflicted vary between 80
and so per cen of all the enemy di-
visions identified.
