I'm April the country was
called upon to purchase Lib
erty Bonds to the amount OF
three billions of dollars. It
responded by purchasing four
billion dollars worth. In May
It was called upon to contrib
ute s1O0,O00,000 to the Amer
ican Red Cross. 1t responded
by contributing over $150,0O0,.
900. And the best part Of
those two responses was not
merely the amount OF money
raised, but the patriotic en-
thusiasm manifested. 1t was
made plain that the Ameri.
can nation is determined to
prosecute this war to a sue
cessful conclusion at any
cost.
The hardest task is before
rs in June. The government
is depending upon the sale OF
two billion dollars worth OF
War Savings Stamps during
this year, and of this amount
expects South Carolina to
purchase over $30,000.000
worth of these stamps-a
greater investment than We
were called upon to make in
the last two Liberty Loans
combined. The government
has designated the month Of
June as the period for sscur-
ing definite pledges for these
purchases during the balance
Of the year.. with a fair pro-
portion of actual purchases
during that month.
We have been associating
the War Savings Stamp with
children to such an extent
that we have lost sight Of the
other purpose involved II
this government issue, -
namely, providing a form of
investment which is suitable
to the great mass Of people,
who do not find it convenient
to visit banks to pay install
ments, but who can see eth
or: the postman every day or
else an agent for the sale OF
w. S. S., and can secure from
him a War Savings Stamp,
which pays practically the
same interest as a Liberty
Bond.
AS he continues to paste
his $500 stamps-which cost
him but slightly over $500
On his certificate, he has an
actual government bond Of
the value Of all the War Saw
inGs Stamps there are on It.

An Open Letter To The
People of South Carolina

One stamp would be q S5.0@
bond, for instance, and 20
stamps would be a 500 bond.
IF YOU deposit in a savings
bank paying 4 per cent inter-
est quarterly, $4.17 in the
month of June, 1918, will in
crease to $4.89 on January I,
1923. A War Savings Stamp
bought In June for SALT will
be cashed for $500 in the
same time. The value Of q
War Savings Stamp does not
fluctuate as is the case with
g bond, because the govern
ment guarantees that a War
Savings Stamp increases one
cent a month in value. It
can be redeemed any time be-
fore maturity.
From June IA to June %
we are calling for pledges
from the mass of people Of
our state to the amount OF
$2O,O0O,OOO, these pledges to
be redeemed during the bal
ance of the year as may best
be suited to the subscribers.
South Carolina stands at the
foot of the list of states in
its per capita purchases Of
War Savings Stamps. From
now until June 2S, when the
intensive campaign will end,
let us see to It that We do
our part and take e more ap.
propriate place in the roll Of
states-and then We can look
forward to a rest from cam
paigns until November.
Let US not forget that the
Government is relying on the
country's purchase Of two bill
lions Of dollars worth Of ".
S. 8. during this year as an
important part of it's revenue
to pay for what the boys need
on the other side. That
thought should stir us all to
instant action. Our soldiers
don't grumble or ask for rest.
If we supply them with all
that American genius and en-
ergy can produce, victory will
be hastened and many lives
saved. How can we expect
to rest, how can we endure
the thought of resting when
there is. something for US to
do, as long as our boys are in
the trenches enduring the tor
ments Of hell, and giving
even their lives that we may
live here in safety and pros.

The Present Need
Is Trained Men

Inc present situation in the shipping
trade, as outlined by representatives
of several companies, supplies evidence
Of the need for training The per
sonnet of many Offices has suffered con-
slderably through the entry Of men
into the army and navy. and the diff
tcultles experienced in replacing men
who have entered the service are re-
ported as great. The business is high
y technical and the hiring Of mex
perienced mon, for even relatively
minor jobs, has not proved satisfactory.
ut will be necessary" Mr.. Britain
asserts, ito get the people of the coun-
try, or It least those in each COM
munity who are natural leaders and
who In all democracies guide public
opinion, saturated with the idea that
something more than ships, their Of
hcers and crews and the mighty high
ways of the ocean are required to make
the United States great maritime ma
ton. Also, it is absolutely necessary
that we begin at once the work of sys-
tematically equipping a body of men
capable of successfully conducting the
commercial affairs involved in the op-
Grafton of the large number of ship
ping concerns which will be required
to manage the mercantile fleet of the
United States at the conclusion of hos
tilities and after the armed forces of
the country have been returned.
IF this is not done cur shipping
will perforce have recourse to young
Brltons, Swedes, Norwegians and Danes
as those alone, IL anything like suf-
fcient numbers, will have the expert
ence to qualify. To this end it seems
to me- that excellent material is at
hand in the thousands of young men
from all parts Of the country who
have had college or high school educa J.
tions and who have entered the navy
for the duration Of the war. Many of
these young men, when dem obilized,
will be at loss to know what to do.
If We can give them adequate training
while iii service such men will be
equipped to fill technical positions
waiting fer them when we enter upon
our great fore gn trade
