An Appeal For War Savin Stamps. To the People of Edgefield Count The cloud of militarism which f the past 30 or 40 years menaced E rope, began, a little more than ^fo years ago, to assume proportio which indicated a world-wide natui So far reaching was it that -9 mont ago its shadow of gloom covered o entire fair land; at times it wou grow darker, again the rifts wou show the silver lining until the ll hour of the 11th day of the ll mon of 19IS the silver lining broke awi and ^the golden beams of Peace ( Earth forever dispelled the Prussk Hohenzollern German militaris from the nations of the earth. Directly we did not seem to be i danger but indirectly even our vei existence was threatened. In the sig] ing of the armistice we have nume ous reasons for rejoicing and thank giving, and it is a matter of fi greater importance than many of or citizens may think, but in the midi of our elation we must not forge that our country is still in a state c war and will remain so for month yet. Our once enemies of the Centn Alliance will have to be kept uncie martial law until some stable or pei manent peace terms may be negotial ed .and indemnities and reparatio: for damages fixed and levied. In all this "our boys over there will doubtless exert the greatest in fluence when they will garrison forts munition factories etc. and do polio duties in all the important cities o: our enemies, for without their pres ' ence the armistice with its term would be a mere scrap of paper. .Now to keep our army of two oi more million in Europe means ar enormous expense. The only differ euee between the cost for the month: they will yet remain over there ant the corresponding number of month; in the past to this date is the ammu nition and guns. The men will have to be cared foi in every way as in the past, for food, clotning, hospitals, Y. M. C. A etc., and to do this our governmnt de pends upon the bonds you buy, your donations to the United War Work, and on the pledges you made and are expected to make for W. S. S. Your j ' piedgc for W. S. S. was a most sol emn obligation. It was made more solemn and sacred by the fact that the government asked for no scour ity to guarantee the payment. Now the time has come to fulfill the prom ise. Are you doing it? Let's see. . It will be of interest to you to know that the quota for this county for the June campaign of the W. S. S. was $220,000 and during that cam paign of the W. S. S. 3,94G whites pledged $177,945.00 and 3.G9S col oreds pledged $51,100.00 makin;; a total of 7,G44 'pledges aggregating $229,045.00 thereby exceeding our quota by $9,045.00. Now are you filling these pledges? The total amount for the year to date received for stamps by the post offices of the county aggregate only $104,000 face value and allowing for stamps purchased from postoffices in adjourning counties indicates thai only about one half of our pledges have been redeemed. This is not a very creditable evidence of lo;, any at home against that of the boys in France. Only a month and a half of 1LH8 remains and the June pledges not half paid. See to it that you fill your pledge by December 1st During the first week in December our people will be called upon lo com plete the year's quota. The amount that will be called for in December will be $333,000.?That will make the quota for this county for this year $501,000. In a few days ear ls will be mailed to every subscriber ol' W. S. S. asking if you have filled your pledge and what additional amount you will pledge. Each card will have a return caid attached which you are earnestly requested to fill out, sign and return to the'County Chair man. It is hoped that every subscrib er will purchase his W. S. S. before he receives these cards that he may so report it on the return care!. The kaiser loki the Ambassador General before America entered the war that "he would take no foolish ness from America after thc war." He kept his promise and ran away carrying the crown prince and his chief of staff with him. Fill your pledges and let's catch 'cm. E. J. MIMS, County Chairman. Their Worth Quickly Recog nized. Walter Hill Cantelou and Powell B. Harrison who were in the incre ment of 10 white men who were sent to Camp Wadsworth last week have both been appointed corporals. Both of these young men have made ap plication for permission to enter the officers training camp and it is very probable that they will be transferred on the 15th of November. REI* OAK GROVE.
