IMPORTANT

The Clarendon County Chapter. 4.
X. &. is in urgent need of workers.
The work is steadily growing larger
each day.
There are several allotments wait
ing, untouched.
AS there is Il given length of time
in which to fill these orders, it is
most important that each and every
one who can possibly work for the
Red Cross do so. The work cannot
possibly be accomplished by few.
The urgent need Of each allotment
given this chapter is emphasized. The
Red Cross room is now beginning
to be filled with work of different
kinds--suits to be mended, labels to
be Sewcd on garments, and the like.
The Chapter has received orders to
knit again-only sweaters and socks.
These articles are badly needed.
Each .ady is urged, most earnestly
to stop in the Red Cross room and see
what work there is for her to do. The
worl; must be done.
Clarendon County Chapter has done
splendid work in the past and has a
righ, to be proud. We are depended
upon by Headquarters and therefore
1t Is the more important reason that
we do not fail them.
The allotmentS have been given this
chapter recently and ..ery close to-
gcther. Hence the urgent need of
workers. Let us not fall down. on
them.

TO ALL LOCAL COMMITTEES

Judging from the cards that have come in to
me SO tar, our people not subscribing for the
Liberty Loan in amounts large enough to insure
success. In some instances men are taxing bonds
to the amount of $1,000 or $4,000 when thev
should take 100000.
1t is absolutely necessary, therefore, not only
TO canvass every man and woman in your terri
tory but to insist also that they subscribe amounts
adequate to their means.
ClarendOn's quota of $640,O0O must be raised
by Saturday, October 49, 1t will require faithful
work on the part of the committees and whole
hearted cooperation on the part of our citizens but
our County has never yet fallen behind and we
must not do so this time.
SEND IN NAMES OF SLACKERS
Please send me promptly the name of any man
your territory who is able to buy bond and re-
fuses to do so. sincerely hope that we have none
OF this class in Clarendon; but if we have our low
al citizens have right to know who they are The
man who is able to buy 81 100000 bond and in
stead OF doing so buys one for $4,000 just to es-
cape the scorn of his neghbors, belongs to this
class just much the man who does not sub
scribe at all.
Men of Clarendon don't be "pikers;" 20 YOUR
limit for the boys that fighting and dying
'over there" "War is terribly expensive thing:
but the cheapest thing about it is the money that
it costs"
Yours for the Fourth Liberty Loan,
