Buy Them And Help Win The War FOR ?ALE EVERYWHERE THINKING IN MILLIONS. decently, In speaking along tho line of food conservation, The Cou rier referred to the fact that we think too often only on the side of om individual capacity-the small ness of what may be done by us as Individuals losing sight, of tho fact that oat h of us ls but one of millions, and how each little, multiplied hy millions, mounts into a total of al most unbelievable proportions. Along this line we hiive noticed tho article below, which we clip from nu ex change. lt Is well worth consider ing thoughtfully: "When on American citizen, in stead ot spending $100 for some thing ho wants, denies himself and lends the money to tho government ho performs a double service. "First, he furnishes the govern ment with $100 to use in the prose cution of Ibo war. "Second, ho has relieved to the oxtent of $100 tho drum on our goods and services'; that ls, mate rials and labor. To make the article or ardi les he would have bought, or to manufacturo others to take their place in tho market, would require materials and labor. In addition, to get the article to him labor and freight space would be required. Dy doing without the article, he has left free a certain amount of material to be used for war purposes, a certain amount of labor lo bo used In the same way, and he has also relieved to a certain extent tho transportation facilities of the country. "This may not bo much in the in dividual case, but when hundreds of thousands and millions of Americans pursue this course it means millions and millions of dollars loaned tho government, tremendous quantities of materials left for uses of tho na tion In this war, millions of hours of labor free to do war work, and a vast amount of freight space free for national uses. "These sacrifices are easy to make; ore small and trivial compared to tho sacrifices that our soldiers and sailors make daily while they offer constantly their lives for their coun try, tho greatest sacrifice of all." We appeal 'o our citizens, espe r-ially at this Important moment when our government ls looking to us lo do our full duty In the matter of taking government Liberty Bonds, to lose sight of tho smallness of tho individual act and to think only of tho Immensity of it when multiplied hy the nu moor of millions of popu lation ?it our great country. Forget tho smallness of your sin gle act; keep before you the Immen sity of Individual effort In its multi million capacity. There is work In saving, In making, in conserving, In producing, tn buying bonds, In con tributing to charity and war relief work, for every one. Ho the Individ ual effort over PO small, lt has won derful possibilities in its multiple ca irne i ty.

A I Fifty-three years ago to-day (April loth) Qeit. Lee surrendered his little anny of 28,000 veterans to (ion lorant's 145,000 well-fed and well equipped army. The South went Into ( the war and returned pure and exalt ed; she was not ashamed of her ! deeds or her sacrifices, and was bum hied only before her Cod. No nation 'ever rose so fair and fell so pure of crime. ; This was a fatal day for thc army of Northern Virginia. . That 0th day of April, 1805, the sun came out of the gates of the east in ali Us beauty and grandeur, throwing its tire upon the clouds, its gold upon the trees and Its silver upon the waters. The evening beforo tho battlo had been raging on the front, at night-fall both armies withdrew, bleeding and lant ing heavily; Uko two tigers, renting and renewing their strength for tho noxt day. As I have stated, the morn lng was an Ideal spring day. It vas tlie Resurrection of Stiring. Tho lit tle buds that had been lying dormant in tholr icy beds wore soon pushing up their heads, and the Howers blooming, throwing tholr sweet fra garnce across Hold and forest of tho bloody battlo plain, (which teaches us that "If a man die he shall live again). The next we seo ls a horse man, going like the wind from head quarters up the battlo line, Hying a "white flag." "Cease Hiing!" was the order from the staff officer; "Gen. Lee has this day surrendered tho Army of North ern Virginia to Gen. Grant, command ing the Army of the Potomac." Thus ended the Confederate war. And now, after fifty-three years have passed, in my Imagination I seo Gen. I^ee. the groat chieftain, sitting on his war horse "Traveller" address ing his bravo soldiers thus: "Men, wo have fought the war through together; 1 have done the best I could; my heart is too full to say more. Farewell!" And in his last written order to the army, which was read to every command after the surrender, and was brief, i and couched i.i this language, oi words to this effect: "You will take an oath to the Uni ted States to faithfully stand by the Constitution and defend the Flag Go to your homes and rebuild thc fortunes of your devastated lands." We all had enjoyed sweet dreamt as to what the future would be tc us; but on that April morning all those dre.*, ms faded and our a rm j melted away, and our Hag went dowr In Its grave at Appomattox, wrapped In its blood-stained folds forever And at that grave stood men weeping with unconsolnble brief whom nc one had ever seen shed a tear beforo The hallowed association of that Hag stands very close to my heart to this day, and will while life and being last, just as we think of and cherish our dear loved ones when death in vades our home and takes them from us. From the 0th day of April, 1865 to this moment, 1 have stood, with heart to feel and hand to strike and strike to the last ditch and tc the death-for "Old Glory!" And I am ready and willing now to go with the boys In France, and heir them to carry their victory to thc imperial castle at Potsdam and there toll tho Kaiser that no South Caro linian ever took orders from King, Prince, or Emperor! Mr. Editor, do you know this-il you don't I do: There are a lot ol poople In this country who have nol enough patriotic greece In their giz zards to fry a jaybird! And, ns 1 have beforo stated, President Wilson ls walking tho tight-rope; and I say Kill the man who shakes it. J. Russoll Wright. Walhalla, April f?, 1918.

After we left Walhalla we wont to Greenville, where we stayed ten days, j Had quite a nice time visiting rein-1 ti ves and old friends, and we also visited tho soldiers at Camp Sevier. 1 have a cousin there, and it gave nie great pleasuro to visit him. After leaving Greenville we went back to Atlanta. From there we went '. to Chattanooga, Tenn., where wei stoppod over two days and nights to' take in tho sights. We had a Ano I time. There were so many Northern poople there, on their way from Flor ida. I think every State North was { represented in our crowd that was j sight-seeing. We traveled in sight-1 seeing cars, each holding 2 0 people. ! There were five of the cars, and everybody was jolly and full of life. In the forenoon we went to the Na tional Park and to the encampment, and also to Missionary Ridge, where : we viewed the monuments to the j leading officers of both North and South and also the State monuments. 1 They are beautiful. The New York monumont was up on Lookout moun- ! tain. It cost $140,000 Thc obscr-1 vation tower on 'Missionary Ridge ls 112 steps high. Several o? the crowd went up to the top, Air. Lovell for ono.

One day wc went to Jackson Park and went through Field's Museum, which was i great sight; and another day wo took lunch up In a building 17 stories high, going up in an elevaton, and there we ato chicken pie and listened lo beautiful music. It was grand. Another day we went to ride on the top of a sight-seeing car through Lincoln Park. There are many more things 1 could tell you, but I fear my letter will be too long.

WANTS STRENUOUS WAU WORK. Seneca Girl Offers Services ns Truck Driver in France. (Anderson Tribune.) A patriotic slip of a girl, Clara Douthit, of Seneca, has offered her services to her country as truck driver for overseas service. She is a little bit of a girl, but as dauntless as tho bravest soldier that fights in France. She is a stenographer by profession, but she walks the high road that heroes travel in her dreams. Sho has conferred with the mr/, at the Greenville army recruiting sta tion. They state that there is not any foolishnes sabout the girl's prop osition. Sho wants to serve her country by driving an army truck on the battlefields of Europe. When advised to secure some clerical posi tion in the government service, she said: "No, I want to be in Europe, where I can hear the big guns. I want to bo on tho battlefield." While the matter has been refer red to higher authorities, recruiting men state that there is not much chance thnt the girl will get into tho branch of service she ls desiring. However, they pronounce her a true daughter of South Carolina, patriotic to rho core. TUV IT! SUBSTITUTE FOE NASTY CALOMEL Starts Your Liver Without Making You Kick and Cannot Salivnte.
