pajamas, and even black is found
among the ultra-smart creations.

HAS INVESTED HIS ENTIRE
SAVINGS IN LIBERTY BONDS

A young laboring man in ST. Louis
has demonstrated his belief in gov
ernment bonds as an Investment, by
, investing his entire savings Of five
years amounting to $4,000 in Liberty
Bonds. He states that he is now
prepared to subscribe to Victory lib
crty Bonds.
His present salary is $22 a week
and he works every week. He is anx-
ions to go into business for himself,
and is saving every dollar he ca put
aside, so as to be able to educate
himself properly for the branch he
expects to follow and finance bis
business. 81 put $3.50 in the Fourth
issue bonds," he declared, "paying for
them at the rate of $40 week. That
left me only S12 week to live on,
of which 81 went for board and S5
for incidentals. 1t made me skimp,
but the security of the Liberty Bonds
as an investment made it worth
while"
Ambition to have his name over
large factory in ST. Louis is what
prompted the saving habit. He has
been working in st. louis since he
left the country five years ago He
attends night school and is studying
hard to carry out his plans for the
future, saving meanwhile, every cent
he can put away. ats been hard at

made the harder it has been for me

our County and State representatives
for the past two years, we have form-
ed the above Company to solicit the
citizens of Clarendon, Lee, Sumter,
Orangeburg, Calhoun and Dorchester
Counties for contributions to fund
to turn over to Clarendon and Orange
burg Counties to use in meeting Fed
eral Aid in the construction of a
Highway across the Santee River at
Pinckney's Landing. Said Highway

will be above average high water.
Said crossing will cost $154 ,470. 90.

Editor The Manning Times,
Manning, S. G.
Dear Sir:
We have from time to time heard
much talk about roads. 1t takes
labor to build roads, and it takes
money to pay for labor.
We will from now on have some
interesting, apd for Clarendon Coun-
ty, some very profitable road pro
jects, that we will call on the people,
and road Commissioners to put
through.
The first one is crossing over
Santee. A crossing over the Santee
at the place designated will be worth
to Clarendon County not less t!.an
one million dollars, and to lower
South Carolina proportionately
Clarendon County having road
running through the County from the
Florence County line, via Turbevi,le,
New Zion, Sardenia, Manning, Sum-
merton, and st. Peuls, which gives a
connecting link with all roads in this
and adjoining Counties makes of this
project the most ideal place for a
road across the Santee River that
there is. This has been decided bv
a survey made by the State Highway
Commission.
We want you to publish the cor
tract that we have gotten up. This
contract makes this an absolute safe
proposition. If we fail to get the
road, the contributor gets his money

state that it is simply a matter Of
you people raising the money with
which to meet Federal Aid. Money
raised from private subscription may
be turned over to the County and used
for meeting this Federal Aid" This
leaves. us a balance to raise of
$77,235.00 and is $18,83O.OO cheaper
than any other estimate made by the
State Highway Commission for cross
ings upon Santee River.
Believing that the citizens of the
above named Counties want cross
ing and are willing to contribute to
fund for this purpose, we herewith
submit the following conditions which
the above will be subjecS to. -.
First. The road and bridge across
river is to be constructed under the
supervision of the State Highway
Commission of S. G. and work is to
begin upon the construction as soon
as funds sufficient are in hand to
warrant a successful completion of
crossing approved by the said COM
mission.
Second. In case the Highway Com
mission fails to supervise the Con-
struction Of the crossing, The San
tee Crossing Co. reserves the right
to advertise and receive bids from
reliable Contractors of road construc-
ton, and have work done, safe guard
ing the interest of the contributors
until the completion thereof.
Third. In case the Highway Com
mission fails to receive the Federal
Aid, The Santee River Crossing Co.
reserve the right to construct a pri-
vate crossing with total ferry, all
tolls from said ferry after paying
operating expenses, to be paid to the
contributors prorata.
Fourth. In case the contributors do
not reach a sufficient amount to war
rant successful completion Of a cross
ing on the river, The Santee River
Crossing Co. agrees to have it's de-
postory return the Contributions to
the contributors in full.
