tional direction. 1t was evident that
the campaign for the sale Of these
smaller securities had been a sort OF
hit or miss affair, good, bad. or indif-
ferent, depending on the efficiency and
enthusiasm of local organizations.
Several months ago It was decided to
put the sales organization of War
Savings Stamps in the hands OF l..
b. Franklin, national director of four
successful Liberty loan drives. His
official title thereupon became Direct
or of the War Loan Organization and
he was given national charge OF the
placing OF the forms OF Government
securities mentioned above.
The Treasury Department delegated
to each of the twelve governors OF
the Federal Reresrve banks the re-
sponsibility OF building and putting in
to working order the necessary ma
chinery for the sale of all Government
securities in his district. The method
Of appointing these forces and Of or
ganizing them most efficiently was
left 10 the Judgment Of each bank gov
ernor.
Governor Theodore Void Of the
Ninth Federal Reserve District has in
turn delegated the work of organizing
and directing the Government securi-
ties sales forces to the Central Com
mittee of the Ninth District Of which
A. r. Rogers of Minneapolis is the
executive head. This Is the committee
which has been so eminently sue
cessful during the last three Liberty
District in an enviable position OF
leadership.
Two Distinct Organizations.
Mr.. Rogers that the old
Liberty Loan organization, including
state, district, county and local chair
men and workers which numbers
nearly 10000 individuals viii be kept
intact to prepare and carry through
the Fifth Liberty Loan drive which
will be made some time in APRIL. Dis.
tinct from this organization yet a
part OF it as far as district direction
is concerned will be the old War Saw
,ngs Stamp state organizations OF
Montana, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Northern Wisconsin
and Northern Michigan. These state
organizations will also be kept intact
as far as possible and will form the
nucleus OF the Government Savings
Stamp Division OF the Ninth District
War Loan Organization.
The personnel of the Ninth District
War Loan Organization that will have
supervision over the sale OF these
Government securities during 1919 is
as follows:
A. r. Rogers, Chairman Central
Committee; Homer p. Clark, Vice
Chairman Central Committee; Benz.
S. Bull, Director Of Publicity; Joseph
Chapman, Director of Speakers Blu

Efficiency and Economy.
"We feel very certain that the 1919
sale Of Government securities can be
effected with much less expense and
more efficiently under the new ar
rangements", said Governor Void to-
day. Any lack OF results in the past
has been due to the fact that there
has been NJ central direction and no
well organized, continuous plan for
the sale of these securities. As we
have planned the organization, which
will be directed after the first of Jan
uary by Mr.. Rogers. we are certain
that results will be obtained with
much less effort aud without friction
which developed In some localities
during the past year.
The Treasury Department at Wash
lngton is working out a complete and
scientific national campaign TO in
duce thrift and the investment OF q v
ings in Government securities. Our
district organization will have the
benefit Of the Governments work and
will adapt and put into operation such
parts OF the plan as meet the condi-
tons in this territory.
I'VE appreciate the enthusiasm and
loyal efforts OF the men and women
who have worked untiringly to effect
the sale Of War Savings Stamps dur.
ing the past year IN the various states
OF this district. We know that with
the experience they have had and
with the aid OF Q direction and ex-
perience they will be able to accom-.
prish very much more during the com.
ing months. While there is to be an.
other Liberty Loan drive. 1t will be
necessary to put more steam behind
the sale OF Government Savings
Stamps than eve before. The Gov
eminent expects to realize 81, 600, 0O0,-
900 from the sale OF Savings Stamps
during 1919. This is more than twice
the amount sold during 1918 and indi-
yiduals everywhere must realize that
the buying OF stamps is a paramount
duty"
Northwest viii Not Fail.
The people Of the Northwest have
never failed TO respond to any call In
which their loyalty has been involved
and they will not fail now when asked
to raise their share OF the money
needed by their Government to finish
the biggest job ever undertaken by
any people" was the way in which
Chairman Rogers expressed his faith
In the outcome OF the 1919 campaign
for the sale OF Government securities.
Continuing. Mr.. Rogers said: I"If
did not have entire faith in the loyal.
ty Of the people of the Ninth District,
| would not have accepted the added
responsibility Of directing the war
loan organization which is q combina.
ton OF the War Savings and Liberty
Loan activities. We have a big task
In front Of US, but | know we are not
going to quit now and that the men
and women who have worked so earn
estly and effectively in this district
will continue to keep the wonderful
record OF their communities and their
district untarnished.
I'm a last analysis, the individuals
must do the work and finish the Job.

GO TO THE FRONT

Who would be free must himself strike
the first blow and self preservation is the
first law of nature The above thoughts
have been inspired from reading an article
written by Roscoe Simmons and para
graphs therein reads as follows: "Say, l
complained, to the most famous American
correspondent in France, why was it that
you suppressed all the heroics of the Amer
lean Negro during the war? [ then ex-
planned that nothing came over to the
states in report of unusual conduct OF the
Negro, although the French had poured in
to my ears the finest stories of the Amerl-
can Negro of his bravery, his dash, his
unmatched courage, Of the eagle eye that
is his when the firing is the hottest and
fastest, and that even American officers,
without exception thus far noted. named the
Negro only to praise
"Well then," he wanted to know of me,
"why did the colored people Of America let
a war like this 60 through wouthout hav-
ing competent correspondents, white or col
ored at the front, to write story that
would have been an important chapter in
the story of the Race-write while great
deads were being done and while the world
was reading, day for day, week for week,
of the cOnflict?'
I fell back Immediately on the old and
faithful argument employed by the Race
poverty But this man, who, knowing war
and peace knows men, would have none Of
it, 81 am just from the states," he replied,
''and noticed no great poverty among col
ored people-they seem to have money for
anything they want, and usually get what
ever they DESIRE"
A lesson from the above may be drawn
for the colored man at home. Instead Of
combining their moneys and making jobs
for themselves and their friends they wait
for the white man to make jobs for them
their friends and then they complain be-
cause they are not given some Of the jobs.
If the spirit Of unity prevailed among the
colored citizens Of Seattle instead Of three
small stores operated by colored persons
there would be not less than one hundred.
Socially the white man is against the black
man, but when it comes to doing business
the white man will trade with any one that
will give him bargain. If the Japanese
can fatten on the white mans trade the
colored man can do so and will do so when
he cuts out so much Of his clanishness.
You yourself get on the firing line if you
want to send back favorable reports.

WITHIN THE TOWN

The Mill Peoples Store, a joint
stock cooperative enterprise, organiz-
cd a year ago with about two thousand
dollars capital, has about decided to go
into voluntary liquidation. A majority
Of the stockholders present at meet
ing held a few days ago so decided,
and an agreement to that effect Is now
being circulated for confirmatory sig
natures.
Mr.. C. L. Cobb, who is at the head
of the new bank enterprise was In
Yorkville Wednesday night. He said
that he was very much pleased at the
many expressions Of approval that he
has been hearing since public an
nouncement had been made with re-
gard to the proposed new enterprise.
1--WE are going right along with the
matter" he said, "and we are expect
ing to be open for business just as soon
as the banking quarters are ready"
Referring TO the new. bank to be
established in Yorkville, the Rock Hill

GOVERNMENT MULE SALE.

About twenty-one hundred head OF
government mules and horses, princi-
pally mules, were sold by the govern
ment in Charlotte on Tuesday and
Wednesday, and the occasion was one
of considerable interest not only TO the
stock men, but to the horse and mule
buying public as well. ,
There were on hand stock bearers
from all parts Of the country-nortn'
south, east and west-aS well as nun
dreds of individual farmers who were
looking for especially attractive par
bains in horse and mule flesh. The
sale, which was conducted by profes-
sionals who knew their business, was
in accordance with the procedure FOL
lowed in the regular mule markets al
public auction, in strings and lots, and
during two days the situation was live
ly and interesting.
It was not intended to offer more
than 1000 mules the first day; but the
bidding was so lively and spirited dur
ing Tuesday, and the demand was SO
great, that the original plans were
changed and the sale was continued.
Practically all the dealers remalneu on
the ground on the theorv that there
would be better bargains on Wednes-
day than on Tuesday; but 1t did not
turn out that way. The market con-
tinued strong, and although most OF
the stock was bought by dealers, 1t was
at prices that were more suggestive Oh
st. Louis than Of the bargain counter
The representatives Of the govern
ment in charge Of the sale, knew their
business and most Of the dealers knew
their business. Those In charge OF the
sale were there to sell mules, and the
dealers were there to buy mules. The
logical consequence was quick safes at
close to actual values.
The auction started by the offering
of strings Of four horses or mules at
time; but this did not last. The de-
mand was too strong. The dealers
showed their willingness to absorb the
animals by the carload and carload
lots soon became the rule.
One dealer bid $172 round for 215
mack mules. That seemed to the other
dealers to be q good price for the par
ticular lot Of mules In question. The
auctioneer, however, said that the gov
ernment would not take that price:
The bidder raised his bid to $l1b,. and
the last named price was accepted; but
in practically all other cases there was
more than one bid on each lot.
Dealers generally remarked the fine
condition Of the stock offered. Some
of the animals had been doing more or
less work; but they were none, the
worse on that account. Most OF them
had been standing in the government
pens and lots eating government grain
and hay, and all were sleek and fat, as
fine a looking lot Of stuff as anybody
wishes to see.
.'Of course a good many Of the mules
were old. I saw mules sold at Is and
IA years old that must have been 10
or twenty" said one dealer, and some
of these sold at more than a hundred
dollars each. I would not have want
cd 10 have paid that for them. l think
that taken altogether, the government,
instead Of losing must have MADE
thousands of dollars on its sales.'

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

In spite Of the most strenuous efforts
on the part of the entire clerical and
mechanical forces of the office it has
been impossible to revise the mailing
lists up to later than Wednesday night.
AS far as possible all subscriptions
expiring January l were stricken from
the list during Tuesday. Wednesday
and yesterday, and all names that had
been returned for renewal up to We'd
nesday night were placed in todays
mailing list barring possibly a few er-
rors.
At least 800 more renewals came In
during yesterday, and while we have
been able to get many of them In to-
days list, it has not been possible 10
work them all up in time for their pa
pers to go off on the regular mails.
Enough extra papers however, have
been printed to ensure at least one
CODY for every subscriber who vas on
the list up to January, l, along with
those that have been added since, and
these will be mailed out today to all
subscribers not already supplied.
That there have been errors as the
result Of the pressure under which the
entire force has been laboring during
the past ten days, Is quite probable,
and Of course such errors as may have
been made will be corrected as soon as
possible after they have come to our
attention.

AUCTION OF eUERNsEYs

Attention is called to the proposed
auction Of pure bred Guernsey heifers
to be held in Rock Hill on Tuesday;
January IA.
The Enquirer takes pleasure in CALL
ing especial attention to this auction,
because 1t wants to advise every farm
er who can do so to attend.
AS to whether these cattle bring a
good price or poor price is not the
Immediate concern Of this article; but
that they will bring good price there
is absolutely no reason to doubt.
The individual who goes to Rock
Hill expecting to pick up fine
Guernsey heifer at the value Of scrub
stock or something like that will be
disappointed. There will be people
on hand who will know what the cat
tie are worth, and who will see that
they bring prices somewhere close to
their value. At the same time nobody
is going to get stuck" or burnt" 1t
is not to be that kind Of sale, nor is
1t to be conducted by that kind OF peo-
pie. ~
The Enquirer Is interested in this
auction sale for just one reason, and
that is it's educational consideration.
There will be gathered at this sale a
large number of the most thorough
going cattle experts this part OF the
country affords and along with them
some from a distance They will be
free, open and generous with their In
formation, and the occasion will fur
nish opportunity for valuable knowl-
edge for those who desire to learn.
It will be an interesting day FOR
hose who have a desire to learn some
thing about cattle, and to all who use
their eyes and ears it will be profita-
BILE day.
There should be a good attendance,
especially Of the farmers OF York and
surrounding counties.
