"Doctor," said the host after sat had left, with a twinkle in Iiis eye. "doctor, do you know who sat next to you at the table today? It was Lady Byron." "Why the deuce did you not tell me this before?" replied Schopenhauer. "I should have liked to be rude to her." "That was what I feared," said the liost.-Exchange. Don't Delay Helping Others.

McMillin, District Passenger Agent, 228 Eighth Street, ' Augusta, Ga. j ts mn inn (i EVERY FARMER, MERO MAN, APPEALED TO B TO BUY A BON Columbia, S. C., (Special.)-"Do1 your bit. Buy a bond for liberty and the- ultimate peace of the world!" is the message which is being sent broad cast over the state by the Liberty Loan Committee for South Carolina, of which Edwin W. Robertson, is chair man. Already there has been a wide re sponse from many directions. Thou sands of people have made applica tion through state and national banks for bonds in denominations ranging from $50 to $1.000. But since the al lotment for South Carolina is $8,500, 000, there are a great many more to be disposed of before the state will have done its duty. Central committees to promote the sale of the bonds have been appoint ed in each county of the state. Men everywhere are giving their time and efforts toward helping the govern ment float this loan; knowing well that the fate of the country, and per haps of the war, is resting upon thia bond issue. The banks have also put their shoulders to the wheel. Practi cally every bank is in a position to accept applications for bonds, and ?very man who wishes to subscribe has only to apply to his banker. The appeal which the Liberty Loan ls making to the farmers, merchants and business men is not only patri otic; though th? committee feels that every man should want to support his government to the extent of buying a bond. It is also a business proposi tion; and a Liberty bond is right now one of the best and surest investments i that a man can make. The government has got to buy corn : and cotton in quantities never before : heard of. These supplies have got to come from the fields and farms of South Carolina along with the rest of ! the country. Therefore, the money : that a farmer puts In the loan, comes . back to him as actual cash in immense : purchases of the things which he 1 raises. In this way he not only gets I a 3 1-2 per cent return on his bonds, I but he also gets the actual money 1 back for the products of his farm. 1 Just as the banks make their money < by financing the farmer, just so the ' farmer is now in a position to make < money by financing the government. 1 No matter how this situation ls j faced, whether from sentiment or from i hard common sense, the move is a 1 good one. 1 One of the most prominent financial 1 axon in South Carolina when asked ] FARM L Long-Term Loans to F Your farm laud accepted as seen other COLLATERAL.

"What does it matter whether this is a money making proposition or not. Of course it is; but the thing that any man or woman wants to think about in connection with the loan is: For what use is the money to be ap plied. If a man is filled with a real isation of what the war means, it will not take him long to decide. "Just one little glimpse of the last three years is sufficient. The viola tion of Belgium, the sinking of th9 Lusitania, the abuse and slaughter of millions of women and children in Belgium, France and Poland, and the other savageries of the Germans should make a man go out of his way to subscribe for as many bonds as he could possibly stand. "If it were a matter of war on our own soil, with our own women and children the subject of these cruelties, we would not hesitate a moment. And from all I hear from Washington, it will very probably be our women and children unless the people of America rally to this loan with every available dollar." The 5th day of June has been set apart by the Liberty Loan Committee for South Carolina on which to re ceive subscriptions all over the state. On that day, it has been decreed by the government that all men between the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, shall register; and it is desired that on the 3ame day, all other people, and all of those that register as well, shall as faithfully go to the banks and fill out sui application blank for every cent of bonds that they can possibly stand. "South Carolina has never been backward in the cause of Liberty as far back as my history goes," said J. Pope Matthews, of the state com mittee yesterday; "and I don't be lieve for a moment that the people of the commonwealth will allow her to take a back seat now. We have been told by the Federal Reserve officials that we are expected to subscribe to sight and a half millions of the bonds, rbis is certainly no Impossible task; ir at least will not be if the small I 'armers of the country districts will ! loin with the clerkn, stenographers, j ind every class of wage earners in the I towns in taking fifty or a hundred dol [an cn che fifth.
