The sum of $500 will keep a soldier at the front for a year. It ls believed that when a man real izes that his money is put to very definite us? in fighting the battle? of the country he will b? much floor? willing to put up tho ready cash. And further than that, every man should realize that he is not making a donation of fifty er a hundred dol lars when he buys a bond. For he gets in return a government certi ficate that ls much better than the five dollar bill that he has in his pocket. He can keep the five dollars for ten years and be none th? richer; but if he keeps a Liberty Bond for ten years, lt ?B working all the time, and bringing in more money tor him. And at any time that a man wants to secure ready money for the bond, all he has to do is to take It to any bond broker, who will buy it outright, or to a bank and socure a loan nqunl to the faro value of the bond without a momont's delay. By special ruling of the treasury department recently, any bank can negotiate a paper that has Lizorty Loans for collateral, through the Reserve Bank, whether the bank ls a member of the reserve system or not. Millions of government money are being brought into the state of South Carolina because of the war. The farmers are getting the benefit of it and tho cities are also getting the ben efit of it. It will be gross ingratitude if the citizens of the state are not willing to subscribe their part towards the loan which makes these expendi tures poeslbl?. It will be impossible to buy a bond from the government out of the first of the present bond Issue after Friday. All who wish to invest must do so im mediately HO that the local bank may get the application through without a moment's delay. South Carolina, la exp coting all her sons to do their fuM duty.
