Of tho two "families" the latter is by far l.hi moro respectable. he thing that calls itself a matt would commit such outrage as tnlcled In the Constitution's ning, reproduced above, is not JO live in a civilized community, such, as caught, should be put concentration camps along with man sabotists and others who o plotted in and against our ?try.

COONEE AND TUE MUKK I V LOAN lt is gratifying indeed to note the ' spirit in which the Third Liberty Loan is being met lu Oconee. Our people arc beginning to rea I i/o that tb?' United Slates "your country ? and my country" - is at war. The .opportunity that has presented Itself in tlu: Third Liberty Loan is being met with good will and with ready response on all sides. Tin? Walhalla District is well past its quota, tho 'Aunounc tueni of this fact having been te ographod to headquarters as early as Friday of last week, and the Honor Flag bas for several days been in the hands of the local Lib erty Pond Committee. Oconee bas heard the call of our friends nnd our boya in France "Come over and help us," and othor boys of Oconeo are going to answer to the call to tho colors, and tboso who cannot go aro re .'illy sending their dollars to roprc'iont thom on the battle-fields of .Franco, whore is hoing fought to-dny t T\ \ tho groat hattie of freemon against autocratic rule and military oppres sion. ll was our good fortune to he able to accompany the Liberty Loan Com mitteemen last Sunday to Double .Springs and Long Creek, where meetings were held in the interest of | tho loan. At Double Springs the committee took applications for bonds in the sum of $1,450, while the good people at Long Creek took up $1,200 lu applications, making Die total for the two communities $2,050-a line showing Indeed. And the beauty of the situation in these communities is that among tile citi zens the sentiment was that each would Ilk?? to take more of the pres ent loan, and thal they will hold i themselves ready for future loans . and prepare to help when the next call comes. We like the spirit of the good peo- , pie ol tho hill country of Oconeo. . Tho freedom of their Ufo, the purity , of the air on their hills and in their j valleys is reflected lu the lives of tho citizens of these esctions. They hear ! tho call of duty, and the response come? quickly, readily, cheerfully. i Our impressions of the people and i lie country lu the Double 'Springs and Long Creek sections give us a broader conception of what our good county is worth lu men. In women, in materials. The men of our coun ty are ready to servo our country in arms and in money, the women of Oconeo are, ready to serve our coun try in conserving and in money, and the children ol' from few years to the teen ages are ready to work and to save and to contribute of their earn ings to the great work of winning the war for democracy and freedom. lt lhere ls any man in Oconeo who has his times of depression and doubt and fear for the llnal result in this world conflict of Cern?an mili tary might against right and justice and liberty, let him go to tho hill country of Oconeo and catch inspira tion Hom tin* freedom ol' the hills, tlie abundant evidences of God-every where, and note the. determination, i he good-will, the sterling worth of the people there. Ile will come away with new courage, and with every doubt banished and the full assur ance that, though the war may run into years yet. right will triumph over might, and that the hosts of au tocratic and arrogant Germany will be- -In spite of their forty years of constant preparation for this blow thal was intended to crush tho world into submission and servitude-ut terly defeated, and their abomina ble form of government forced to as sume democratic form, where the rule ol' the people will be substitut ed for the rule of one man. And then will end wars of greed and hope of world domination by ono dastard monarch and tho "war lords" he may call to his aid. Oconce is ready with men and to light to the last ditch the of freedom. Our government > it on Oconee whenever calls are made. i MUK AMERICAN SPIRIT. Attacked by Germana, S. C. Hoy Kill ed Seven Before Meeting Death.

An excerpt of the letter regarding young David .was sent to his father In Dillon, S.

Tho letter follows: Columbia, April IO. 1018. To the Liberty Loan Chairman. Oco nco County; Under separate cover I am having mailed to every bank In the State Third Liberty Loan Subscribers' Certificates. On thc fnce of each ! certificate ls a place upon which should be inscribed the subscriber's name, hut these certificates should i be issued only to those subscribers j who have at least made the f? per i cent Initial payment. ' lt is very desirable that a <om-l plete list of every subscriber be made, and at the close of the cam- ! i palgn forwarded to this office, that j tho present generation and future generations may know the names of j the loyal sons and daughters of South Carolina. It ls our purpose to j I have a complete record of all sub- j scrlbers to this loan alphabetically listed according to counties, and a j copy filed In the State Library in the Capitol at Columbia, and a copy I placed in every public college or school library in the State. In years to come it will not only be of lnter ! est, but lt will be a source of great ! pride to know these names and to trace our connection to these loyal people, and I am therefore asking I that you make this list with care, both as to the proper spelling of the name and tho present address of the subscriber. i You will please advise your good pooplo that Thrift and War Savings I Stamps will bo accepted at their full value in payment of bonds of this loan. I want you to forcibly bring to the minds of every one with whom you come in contact that our brave boys, i who are patriotically offering their lives for our protection and the pro tection and welfare of future genor ! attona, have taken out life insurance tn order that their families at home, may be protected in case the fortunes ' of war should fall heavily upon j them. This brave and thoughtful ef fort, on tho part of these young men should touch those of us who cannot go to tho front and should appeal to our souse of honor, as well as to our sense Of duty, to see that tho boys who may come back, many probably bearing the wounds of I he conflict, iha\o some provision with which to j start lifo anew. Think how our I hearts will beat with joy when we can hand our boy upon his return a Liberty Rond which we have bought to back him up and to protect him, then give him that he might start life in fair and full competition with his fellow-man. This should be our sublime faith, and will bring joy to our own hearts and courage and op ! portunity to our brave sons. S. 0. Honor Roll.

COLORER PEOPLE PLEDGE HELP HOIIIO Took LilKJrty Bonds-Others Pledge Buying of Savings Stumps. Tl?e colored Liberty Hood parado was bold last Friday about noon, when a large number of colored mon, women and children marched through Main street to the Court House, where they assembled and held a very interesting meeting. There were a number of white poo ple present to lend encouragement to the colored people In their laudable undertaking in behalf ol' the govern ment. Speeches wer? made by Ex Mnyor W. M. Brown, Major William J, Stribllng, Senator Joseph W. Sholor and Representative Harry IL Hughs, and W. J. Thomas, principal I of tho Walhalla colored school, made un address as representative of the colored race. Tho meeting lasted for mon! than an hour and tho crowd, which lilied the Court House to over flowing, was attentive- and well be haved, as is characteristic ol' an Coo nee colored audience. A number of bonds were subscrib ed for by colored men, and pledgee were made by others-men, women and children - to start buying Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps. Tho colored people of Oconee can be counted on to do their part in as sisting the government in ?uancing the war, investing their savings in stamps and bonds. They are patri otic, enthusiastic, and loyal. A very interesting part ol' the pro gram was the singing by children ol' the colored school ol' several patri otic songs, and their singing was remarkably good and was heartily cheered. Ci I lt LS !

Hines was the gracious hostess at the regular monthly meeting of the Wizard of Tamassec D.A.R. chap ter last Wednesday. Mrs. Mayne Jones, of Tamassee, was a guest of the club on this occasion and made a most interesting talk about the D. A. R. Industrial School now being erected at Tamassee. She showed blue prints and a number of photo graphs, and extended an invitation to this chapter to picnic there one day this spring that the members may know more fully of the location and progress of building and the alms of the school. A very Interest ing paper was read by Mrs. Warren Davis on the earliest settlers lu South Carolina. At the closo of tho program delicious refreshments wore served by the hostess.
