Whwi preparing for Ithe Issuing
of Thrift Stampa and War Savings
Certicates the national administratration
very wisely decided that
they should not be subject to any
taxes, federal, state or local. In
this respect they are entirely
unique, being free when almost everything
else is subject to impost.
As the amount that an individual
may hold is limited to $1,000, this
concession does not deal unjustly
toward other security holders.
It is simply an inducement to the
smaii investor to maxe an unusual
1 effort In his own and his country's
behalf by depositing as much of his
surplus with the government as
possible. Those who buy these little
bonds?and all should do It?
should understand in advance of
the coming days of taxation return
ki April that whatever of their
earned savings or surplus derived
from economies is converted into
Thrift Stamps or War Savings Certificates
need not be recorded upon
the assessor's blank. As the interest
and principal are payable in
1923, neither is it necessary to
make mention of the investments
Jn the return to the income tax collector.
They are, as stated, absolutely
free and, as they also pay 4 per
cent compound interest,' are the
best securities that one can buy in
these troubled times.
Every time you buy;a War
Savings Stamp you help
weaken the Hlndenburg line.

An Open Letl
) People of S
Ici April the country was
called upon to purchase Liberty
Bonds to tha amount of
' three billions of dollars. It
responded by purchasing four
billion dollars' worth. In May
it was called upon to contribute
$100,000,000 to the American
Red Cross. It responded
by contributing over $150,000,000.
And the best part of
those two responses was not
merely the amount of money
raised, but the patriotic enthusiasm
manifested. It was
? . made plata that the American
nation is determined to
prosecute this war to a successful
conclusion at any
cost.
.The hardest task is before .
u*'jn June. The government
Is depending upon the sale of
two billion dollars worth of
War Savings Stamps during
. . this year, and of this amount
' V expectd South Carolina to
purchase over $30,000,000
worth of these stamps?a
greaier lnvciimeai 111a.11 wo
were called upon to make In
the last two Liberty Loani
combined. The government
has designated the month of
June as the period for secur-'
tag definite pledges for these
purchases during the balance
of the year, with a fair pro.
portion ot actual purchases
during that month. i
We have been associating
s the War Savings Stamp with
children to such an extent
that we have lost sight of the
other purpose -involved ki
this government issue, ?
namely, providing a form of
investment which is suitable
to the great mass of people,
who do not find it convenient
to visit backs to pay installments,
but who can see either
the postman every day or
else an agent for the sale of
W. 3. S/, ana can secure iroin
him a War SavingB Stamp,
which paye practically the
same interest as a Liberty
Bond.
As he continues to paste
his $5.00 stamps?which cost
him but slightly over $4.00?
ohis certificate, he has aa
actual government bond of
the value of all the War Savings
Stamps there are on It.

GOAL
LEND,
NOT
. GIVE
In asking people to invest
in War Saving? Stamps, the S
Government is not asking A
them to contribute moneyIt
is merely asking for the .
use of money, and willing to
pay liberally for it.
The Government simply
wishes to employ your money c
and pay for its services just
as It would employ you and
pay you for your services.
You will get your money p
back with interest ? com- r
pound interest at the rate of
4 per cent per annum. The
stampB mature in five years, n
but you can eash them any f
time you wish before the
date of maturity and still get
interest?at three per cent. d
Ilf you msed the services of I
your money before five years, 1
? ?'?" Trin h*nriari to
IUC oanu?o O ?*? ?* y ??? ? Q
the postmaster will be the
letter of resignation, and
you'll get your money back *
with additional payment for
the time the Government has c
used it.
There is no red tape, no
bother, no uncertainty, no 1
worry. It is the simplest, i \
safest, and most satisfactory
investment yon can make.

bond, for instance, and 20
stamps would be & $100 bond.
If you deposit in a sayings
bank paying 4 per cent inter,
est quarterly, $4.17 In the
month of June, 1918, will increase
to $4.89 on Jaauary 1,
1923. A Wa* Savings Stamp .
bought in .June for |4,17 will
be cashed for $5.00 in the
same time. The value of a
War Savings Stamp does not
fluctuate as is the case with
a bond, because the government
guarantees that a War
Savings Stamp increases one i
CAnt a. mrtnth in. ft
can be redeemed any time before
maturity.
From June 14 to June 23
we are calling for pledges
from the mass of people of
our state to the amount of
$20,000,000, these pledges to
be. redeemed during the balance
of the year as may best
be suited to the subscribers.
South Carolina stands at the
foot of the list of states in
its per capita purohdses of '
War Savings Stamps. From
now until June 28, when the
intensive campaign will end,
let us see to it that we do
our ndrt and take a more an
propriate place in the roll of
states?and then we can look
forward to a rest from can}- (
paigns until November. , . i
Let us not forget that the j
Government is relying on the
country's purchase of two billions
of dollars' worth of W.
S. S. during this year as an \i
important part of its revenue i
to pay for what the boys need ^
on the other Bide. That
thought should stir ns all to
instant action. Our soldiers s
don't grumble or ask for rest. j \
If we supply them with all
that American genius and en- ;
CI iau piUUUWO, T IWkVl J TV ill
be hastened and many lives *
saved. How can we eapect
to rest, how can we endure ' j c
the thought of resting when j,
there ia something for us to
do, as long as our boys are In
the trenches enduring the tor- { s
ments of hell, and giving ! j
even their lives that we may
live here in safety and prosperity!
