LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE.
Campaign is Outlined for Bamberg
County This Month.

The boys who have gone from
Bamberg county, your boys, to meet
the Hun, are fighting your battles at
the front. What are,you doing? 1t
has been demonstrated that indiyid-
ual action, however we'll directed,
will not accomplish as much in any
field of endeavor as united effort.
The men on the firing line could
achieve little if acting each for him
self, but being formed into armies
which have a definite goal, much is
expected and much will be achieved
by them. It is also necessary that
We effect some form of organization
so that those of us who remain at
home may give the necessary sup
port to the Bamberg county boys at
the front.
AS members of the home guard,
the first task which confronts us IS
that of equipping the fighting forces
at the front with those things which
will make their united effort felt
upon the battle fields of France. We
cannot supply our men with this
equipment without money, We can
not obtain the necessary funds ex-
cept from the people of the United
States, and the people of the country
cannot visualize and comprehend the
necessity of supplying the money un-
less and until the situation is ex-
planned to them in an intelligent
way; nor will they supply the mon
ey until each community in the Unit
ed States has it brought home to it's
people their individual and personal
responsibility, duty and privilege.
Therefore, in order that the people
of Bamberg county may intelllgently
direct their efforts toward discharg-
ing their obligations to the men we
have sent from our midst to the bat
tie lines, a liberty loan committee
has been named, with representatives
from each section of the county.
In order that the members of this
committee may understand their du-
lies, meeting of this committee will
be held on Monday afternoon, April
IS, at $3.50 o'clock, at which time
the members of this committee will
be addressed by speakers who are
we'll prepared to give the necessary
instructions and information, in re-
gard to the third liberty loan cam
paign.
These speakers will be men from
other parts of the State who will
make our duty clear, to us, and who
will fire us with enthusiasm and will
create within us a desire to shoul-
der our responsibility.
The colored council of defense of
the county, and all of the colored
preachers of the county, have been
invited to hear these addresses, and
acting through these agencies, the
colored people of the county will
have presented to them an oppor-
tunity to participate in the defense
of their country. The colored
preachers and the members of the
colored council of defense are invit-
ed and expected to attend the meet
ing on the date named above.
opens officially, on April 9Th, but as
we expect to obtain some of the best
speakers in the State for our public
meetings and patriotic rallies, the
campaign for the county of Bamberg
will not open on April 9Th, since we
could not secure on that date some
of the speakers, who will later ad-
dress the people of our county. The
dates and places of these public raj
lies will be announced in due time.
The following named men are
members of the third liberty loan
committee for Bamberg county, and
in order that they may be informed
of their duties, and organize for the
hn nf
the undertaking presented to them,
they are earnestly requested to meet
at the court house at $3.50 o'clock
on next Monday, April Sth:,
