GOES
OVER, But JOB
Is VANISHED

ATLANTA, May 10.-Although no
figures were available tonight it ap-
peared certain that the Sixth Reserve
district had gone over the top on the
Victory Loan.
The work of putting over the Fifth
Liberty Loan, the Victory Loan, prov
ed the most difficult undertaking of
any of the five big drives for selling
the United States to its people,"
In the first loan the banks took
most of the bonds, for the American
public knew nothing of such securi-
ties. This was largely true of the
second loan. But by the Third loan
campaign, a great system Of showing
the public the advantages of buying
stock in the nation was under way,
and in that and the fourth loan the
man ON the street" put his money in
to the war chest.
But in the former loans, the people
had the inspiration of the war to stir
them to investments In the fourth
loan campaign the Huns were ham
mering almost at the gates of Paris.
Things looked gloomy for the Allies.
America was aroused as she had never
been aroused before, and her people
came through Loyalty and libertlly."
"Let George Do IT.
The Victory loan was distinctly diff
ferent. The victory had been won, the
boys were coming home, the peace
terms were being debated in long
drawn out sessions, the country was
torn with street-corner debates over
the wisdom or unwisdom of the Viii
son policies. The public knew the war
bills must be paid, but the general at
titude was to s'let George do it, All
the arguments in the world did. not
NIL the place of the war spirit
In the face of this situation, the
Liberty Loan organization set to work
undaunted. 1t called upon the same
captains who had led their teams to
victory in former campaigns, and most
of them responded. 1t called out
great deal of new blood too. There
were. thousands of men who had
never done public work before who
rolled up their sleeves and went out
to sell bonds, and sold them.
These workers never gave up. The
result was that nearly every unit in
the Sixth Federal Reserve district met
its quota, though most of them did
not come through" until the last
day.
Tribute to Workers.
Tribute to the magnificent efforts of
the zone and county chairmen and
armies of valiant campaign workers
who served with them was paid to-
day by Haynes McFadden, chairman of
the executive committee in direct
charge of the district organization.
And to the newspapers of the South
the most sincere thanks was rendered
in a statement by st. Elmo Massen-
gale director of publicity, and the
only official who has served in the
same capacity throughout the five
campaigns. Mr.. Massengale, Mr.. Nc
Fadden, and all the executives, serv-
ed without any remuneration through
out all these drives. giving to their
country services which could hardly
have been purchased at any price.

for the Victory Liberty loan yester-
day afternoon, a number of hours
before the time limit set by the gov
ernment The county's quota war
1898 $50 and the total reported last
night, with a number of subscriptions

of the banks remained open until a
late hour last night for the accom-
modation of persons who wished to
subscribe to the loan or to make the
required first payments and to COM
pile their reports to the government
The final drive to keep Sumter's
name and reputation for loyalty un-
tarnished began with mass meeting
at the court. house Friday afternoon
called by Chairman Ellis, who admit
ted that the committees back was tG
the wall, the county's quota having
been less than half raised and only q
few hours left for work. Frank Lam
ier was chosen chairman of the mass

ately among the men in the room for
their subscriptions. Seventy five
thousand additional dollars in sub
scriptions were obtained, and the
meeting adjourned to meet again Sat
urday afternoon to finish the job"
And the job was finished. Not as
many were able to attend the second
meeting because of business, but the
money was quickly forthcoming.
OF great assistance in the final raj
ly were the reports from some of the
outlying communities. Plains and Les
lie reported their quotas reached ex-
actly Andersonville reported $4,400.
Some of the other well-to-d0
communities reported nothing, how
ever, proving a distinct disappoint-
ment
After the clerks who were keeping
the tabulations announced the final
figures, there were general congratu-
lations, Chairman Ellis and Chairman
Lanier coming in for the greater
share and receiving rising vote OF
thanks from the meeting. Both, how
ever, were liberal in sharing honors
with other workers and men who had
subscribed even beyond their means
to save the name of the community.
Last evening Chairman Ellis issued
the following statement to the people
of Sumter county:
The people of Sumter county
again have done their duty hy
over-subscribing the Victory Lib
erty loan, and in SO doing have
rendered a service that gives real
pleasure They are to be .congrat
ulated
