SAVINGS SYSTEM Ol-'" POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT WILL SOON iBEGIN. Orangebur;; Postoffice Will be Open to Post 1 Saving Deposits About Jane 26 uh. "fti? Potital Savings System ( or ijariTt as it is more-properly called) Is* ? controlled and operated by the United States government through the postoff.ee department. It will re ceive money for deposit and pay in terest upo:a .it at the rate of 2 per ?cent per annum uncompounded. The g^rnmeht ghhraritees the payment of &1 depbsfti with interest. Ac cdfciitscan be opened by anyone over tek years of age in their own name, and by a married woman in her name without any control over the funds by her husband. All accounts must be opened in person. No firm or organization is permitted to open an account. . When a person deposits a sum of money postal certificates are given him. Th<!3e certificates each have a fixed value, such as $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100, and are made out to ths depositor. They are not transferable and a duplicate of each certificate issued is kept by the of fice receding the fund. These cer tificates contain the name of the de positor, tlie date of issue, the num ber of t :e depositors account, the name of i be office, and the date upon which th;t interest begins. In case a savings certificate is lost, the orig inal holder is protected in two ways. The certificate will not be redeemed except to a person whose account number hi the same as that upon the <j2rtificat<!i; and the signature of the person cashing the certificate must coincide with the signature of the person receiving it which is on the dupli :a.te certificate krept by the office. A new certificate will be is sued to a depositor having lost one, j upon cer;ain conditions being com plied with. For sums under $1 pos tal savings stamps are issued and when a person has $1 worth of stamps b? may change these stamps for a certificate. .Interest is paid at the rate of 2 per cent per annum upon all sums that remain in the bank for one year, but net upon sums which remain for only fractions of a year. De posits begin earning interest upon the first day of the month subse quent to their issue Interest will continue to accrue on a certificate as. long as it remains outstanding with no limitation as to time. A depositor can withdraw his whole amount or any part of it at any time by simply giving up his {savings certificates pfraperly en dorsed. Then too a depositor can receive the interest due on a certi ficate without withdrawing the prin ciple ammmt. There are also cer tain regulations as to how persons can make deposits or withdraw them without being present themselves; but no person can open an account unless in person. In case of a de positor's death his account is pay able to the administrators. (No one person can deposit more than $100 per month, or have to his credit more than $500 at any one time. However he may convert his postal saving certificates into postal savings bonds with interest payable semi-annually at two and one-half per cent. This can be done with his savings over $20, $40, $80, $100, and multiples of 100 up to and in cluding $500. These bonds are not counted as a part of the $500 sav ings: certiflaiCte limit, therefore there is no limit to the savings bonds a de positor may acquire. These bonds are exempt from all taxes and du ties; nor can they be acquired in any way except by converting postal sav ings certificates into postal savings bonds. The Orangeburg postoffice has ?been named as one of the depository offices for South Carolina, along with Laurens, Rock Hill, Georgetown Sumter, etc. There has been a de pository at Newberry for sometime, and Postmaster Webster will make a trip to that place about the 19th or 20th so as to be thoroughly ac quainted wtlh his new duties when the . depository opens Monday, June 26th. It is mot known yet definite ly whether a new clerk will be en gaged at the postoffice to attend to this branch or not, but if the busi ness- warrants it one will be. Post master Webster stated that several ?men had told him that they expected to make use of the savings-depart ment a3 soon .as it was opened. ; To Meet at Bamberg.

Train to Be Sent Out by Clemson and Winthrop College, Will Com mence Its Journ?y June 6th. Owing to circumstances over which we had no control the date of the starting of our train has been some what delayed and it is now planned :o iset it under way about the 6th of June. The people of this state should understand that while this train is planned and equipped by Winthrop and Clemson colleges yet had it not been for the hearty and liberal co operation of the rairoads of this ^tate its operation would not have been possible. The three great sys tems of the state, the Southern, the Seaiboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line have from the very be ginning met the proposition in the most cordial and liberal manner. Not only are they furnishing the equip ment in the shape of cars for this train but they are also moving that train entirely free of charge. I think it but proper that this fact should be known as an evidence of the interest that thfese roads are taking in the welfare of the people of the state. \ Since the last notice of this train was given to the public another car has been added thereto by Winthrop college. This car will be filled with an exhibit of househod conveniences and shoud prove quite an attraction and of the educational value. It has also been found possible to add more stock to the equipment of the live stock car so this feature will be especially complete. The visit of this train should be of particular interest to the boys of the various corn clubs of the state and it is expected that they will turn out in force, therefore, special work along the lines of corn judging and cultivation will ,be given by Prof Napier and the train will also be ac companied by Prof. C. B. Hadden, who is now in charge of the Boys' Corn Club work in this state, work ing; under the joint direction of Clem son college and the United States Farm Demonstration work. Miss Hyde, in charge of the Win throp cars, will have a complete corps of assistants and has outlined an extremely interesting program, for ladies who visit the train. It is hoped that everyone will real ize that it will take the full day to get the maximum of benefit from this train and that they will make it a point to reach it early. One day is all the time that can be al lowed at a single point and we want to urge all who can to be on hand promptly so as to get the greatest benefit out of the train possible. D. N. Barrow, Supt.

A good farmer from the Provi dence section says some one rated the cotton crop too high when he said the state had 90 per cent stand.
