Plie sab? of War Savings Stamps is j -t as important to-day as ii was at t'10 beginning nf tb*' year, when tho | st stamps were Unding their way' ! om tho government into the hands j ? the public. War Savings Stamps i lil tho chief rank in tho list of gilt- ' ?.. ge securities in tho United States, I ( in thc world for thal mailor War Savings Stamps aro not ! i ?ings to ho bought by child ron only, j They should appeal lo tho man of 1 \rgo moans just as strongly ?ts to ? a child or to 1 he man ol' small ! i cans. The dual idea of service to t.bo government and saving at home .nub! appeal to all. This is a day 01 service, a day of economy, a day ? saving making everything count I lor something toward winning the ar for democracy and national in lopcndeiu-u.

Honiu seem to think thal tho War ?ivingH Stamps were designed solely t ) nicol tho pos Utilities ol' the child's pocketbook or thal of thc thrifty i ousowife who puts aside something for a savings account. And so they j v ere designed, but not solely by any ..cans. The business man and the young sport who continually find quarters, halves and dollars for use less pleasures may well consider the roman n sense, in those times, of cut- | t.ng to a minimum tho luxury hill; j l ie man with money that is not abso 1 itch needed in essential business ( \n well Invest in Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps, aiding the gov ernment and accumulating for tho future; the auto pleasure rider may well cut his gasolino bill down by half, or moro, and put the money into Savings Stamps, aiding his gov ernment, helping himself, and at the samo time stopping, to tho extent of his curtailment, thc waste of gaso lino, which at any moment is apt to t?o found to have become an essen tial factor In tho winning of the war. There are a thousand and one roa sons why we should take kindly and anthnsiactlcally to tho Savings .Ramps, and these reasons suggest themselves lo oven tho most care less thinker. There ls not a man in our whole country with logical rea soning power who can suggest one reason to advance against tho pur chase Of these stamps. Act on the suggestion of common ?ionso and prudence-buy Thrift and War Savings Stamps; buy all you can. Patriotism to-day is being mea sured by two standards-service at .tie front, the offering of one's lifo for Ibo welfare of one's country and vile safety of future generations; and .ervire behind the lines in saving and lending to the government, in econ omising to proven! waste and to save food ?nd supplies for tho soldiers at I the front and for the civil popula-j ?ions al home. Moth modes of serv ing are essential. Those, who can nerve to day, at tho froid or in tho civilian ranks behind the lines, but fall or refuse lo do so. art? lacking In* patriotism and exhibit a shameless lack ol love of country. Our love of ease and luxury should not bo nor mttted to stand for one moment in tho way of a practical demonstra tion of our love o? country. SOME WALHALLA ROYS. The Courier is always glad to note tho success of Hie boys who havo gone from Walhalla to other points, 1 and to noto what they arc doing, how they are succeeding, and what is thought Of them in tho various places adopted hy Hem as "home." in the Buiiday edition of the Atlanta Consti tution, (July 7th,) wo note tho fol lowing "local" items that concern former Walhalla boys: "Tho Princeton Hotel has fifty rooms, is a steam-heated struct uro, With "all modern conveniences." Hot and coir! water, telephone right on the ofllce counter, ice water when tho law permits and- 'Rob White. "Hob ls friendliness personified. His dry humor and ready repartee, and lila courteous refusal to cash personal checks, have made many friends for the Prlncoton. "Marvin Todd, the pleasant night clerk, haili, as does' Dob White, from Walhalla-Heaven forbid that you should fall to know in what Stato!" "Bob" Whlto ls none other than A. B. White, of Walhalla, a son of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. White, whom we hero always knew as "Bowie." Mar vin Todd ls a son of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Todd, of Walhalla. Under tho photograph of tho Princeton Hotel we lind this Interesting bit of read ing matter: "The Princeton Hotel. Gainesville, whore ono of President Wilson's daughters was born. Bob White, chief clerk of tho Princeton, may be seen at side entrance, holding a copy of 'The Keowee Courier.' He wanted to get hiH Walhalla paper Into the picture." And thou there ls another "local" reference that has a very familiar sound - this made of the Hetrlck Manufacturing Co., in tho conduct of whose business Will F. Hetrlck is the main factor, head and guiding spirit. The Constitution's representative writes as follows: "The Hotrlck Manufacturing Com pany-mainly W. F. Hetrlck- em ploya about 40 operatives and manu factures ladies' lino cotton hosiery. "Gainesville people, among them B. ll. Morck, were Instrumental in opening up this now enterprise, and they now feel gratified to know that Mr. llctrick has brought the business I up to such enviable dimensions. The i output of the factory amounts to nearly ? I 00.000 per annum-a ra ther remarkable showing for a fac tory barely three years ojd. "But you must consider that Hot rick is a hard, intelligent worker. He gives much of his time to civic causes, thc while not neglecting his business. Night or day-it makes scant difference-he is on the job. "Among Gainesville's listed enter l prises thc llctrick .Manufacturing Company stands way 'on toi).' "Mr. llctrick comes from Philadel phia, hut prior to becoming ono of Hall county's prosperous business men, had boon In business at Wal halla. S. C." We may well Imagine that Wal halla's boys in Gainesville are well thought of and appreciated, And we are glad lo know it. Wc will hope lo hear furthor good nows from 'Boh'- and "Marvin" and "Will," and thoj have many other friends in this section who will join with Thc Courier In congratulations upo n their accomplishments o| the past; and hopo for even hotter things fur t hem i:i I he fut u re. Vol' MI ST WORK. We are mighty glad to see that our Mayor and City Council have taken up th(> matter of dealing with loaf ers. Wo have too many idlers around Walhalla. People have hoon want ing io know why it is that one can liad idlers at all limos, yel can sel dom get work done. The Mayor and Aldermen rightly consider that tho "chronic" loafer is an enemy to tho I'ni tod States, whe ther knowingly so or not wo do not profess to know. Every human ho ing is a cousu mor, and the consumer who docs not produce something is a liability against tho government, when every man should at a time like this bo an asset. The labor card system will be put into operation at. once. The local authorities want to know why an able-bodied man produces nothing; why a preacher without a charge loafs on the streets instead of get ting out and earning a living; why the "sport" wastes gasoline, riding about through the country In an au tomobile with no object in view other than to kill time; why any body and everybody ls not at work producing something for himself, or for somebody else for wages. There ls street work that needs to bo done, but there are no hands to bo had to do the work. We'd Uko to seo some of the above-named parties handling pick and shovel, accom plishing something that is worth while, for the public. The law should be enforced-^rig idly enforced, uniformly onforeed, regardless of "who's who and why." This is no time for idlers, rich or poor. Everybody can do something. (Jet at lt!

Til I ; STATE CAMPAIGN. Meeting at Walhalla Was Quiet, Well Attended, Not Exciting. The State campaign meeting for Oconee is a thing of tho past. The meeting was held yesterday, about 500 people being in attendance. As ls characteristic of Oconee, tho speak ers, about 20 in number, were given respectful attention. The crowd was slow in gathering at first, and it was thought that'thc Court House would be ample to ac- | cotnmodate tho people, but it was ? later discovered that the building 1 was too crowded, and the meeting was moved to the high school audi torium, where; the crowd was com fortably seat od and the speakers had a better opportunity to address tho people who had como from almost every section of the county ty hear them. ! The speeches made were of no out of-tho-ordinary type, covering much the same ground that is covered at all counties. Mr. DesCham ps, candi date for Governor, introduced somo of his humor, keeping Hie crow i laughing and in a happy traine of mind, though, like the others, ste im: pretty clear of real live issues thal might bo termed enlightening to tho public. Among the Gubernatorial candi dates there was a little more than the usuel every-day run of events, though they grew out of the persist ent efforts of Andrew J. Bellica, can didato tor Governor, to force his op ponent, John (!. Richards, to come out and declare himself as to whom be will support for the United States Senate. Mr. Betboa, alter Mr. Richards had spoken amt started from the speakers' stand, requested that he romain, stating that he had a ques tion he wished to ask him. Mr. Rich ards agreed to stay, hut later became rostloss. and again started to go. Bcthoa urged him to remain hut for II moment longer, and then ho read the now famous Please speech in which he (Please) stated that there were "no grounds justifying the en trance ol' the United States into the present war, and that upon the heads nf President Wilson and his associ ates rested responsibility before Clod for the lives' that might be lost." ; and that if he bad been tn Congress he (Please) would have voted against war. Mr. Bethea asked Mr. Richards if he endorsed those senti ments, and Mr. Richards said that he refused to answer the question. 'Hut," he said, "1 have a son in the irmy, and other relatives also, and 1 nm loyal." The question was put several times, but no direct answer was received. Finally, a gentleman in the audience called to Mr. Bethea inri told him to ask Richards the di- ' rect question whether or not he is supporting Blease for the United "Rates Senate. Mr. Richards still rc usod to reply directly, but said that ie would answer if the crowd indi cated its desire to know where he Rood In tho Senatorial race. A hand primary was called for, and it was evident that the audience desired ?onie direct information on the ques ion. Mr. Richards wont into a de- ! ailed statoment, in which he in- j formed tho audience that he had >een In tho "reform movement" for nany years, was still in lt and with t. and would, therefore, vote for Mr. ? Hease for tho United States Senate. This was the first time, so far as ve recall, that this admission has leen dragged from Mr. Richards. , hough his reluctance to make an- . swer has always been interpreted in luch manner as to placo him in the ranks with Mr. Blease's supporters. Mr. McDaurin, who has boen in the race for the Governorship up to the present time, was not at the meet ing hero, and the announcement of Iiis withdrawal from the race came lo Walhalla over the wires and by : Mirly morning papers ahead of the ! candidatos who wore to speak. I Opinion varies considerably on tho withdrawal, some fooling that Mr. i Mci,aurin should have stuck) lt out | to the hitter end. others commend ing him for getting out of a race that promised little if any general good from tho discussions that have de v eloped. The candidates loft hore yester day afternoon for Pickens. where they appear to-day before the voters of that county. A spirit of uniform good will pre vailed nt Walhalla, both among the .and?dates and the voters. Roth Mr. Hot h ea and Mr. Richards. during their tilt, managed to summon con siderable color to their faces, and there was a slight ripple of excite ment and expectancy preceding and during tho "hand primary." Taken ns a whole, however, tho meeting was what Bill A rp would have de scribed as "real calm an ? serene like." Miss Rankin for Senate, Washington, July r>.-Miss Jean nette Rankin, Representative from Montana, announced to-day sho will be a candidate for tho Republican nomination to the Senate to succeed Senator Walsh, Democrat, who will offer for re-election in Novomber. Tho nominating primaries will bo August 2?, and, Miss Rankin said, at prosent, ibero is no other Republican Candidato. AN ORDINANCE Regulating Labor L tito Town of Walhalla During tho War.
