Sales of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps through the Wal halla post office, up to and including September 1.",, show: Thrift Stamps 7,716-$1,929; War Savings Stamps ?t,:i37-$21,685, or a total for the two classes of stamps ol' $22,614. Increase your purchases of Thrift and War Savings Stamps as much as possible. Oconoe's showing is not what it ought to be. We stand No. ?IO on tho per capita purchase Hst, with only $"i.:in for each person; we stand as No. 23 on the weekly list with tho small purchase, during the week ending September 7th, of only two cents per capita. Surely we cnn do hotter than that ! Ooo neo is an A-l county. Cnn wo afford lo rank way down in the ".O's? We are doing ourselves au injustice when we noglect the Thrift and War Savings Stamp opportunity. THE AlTOLESN SENDAV. lt has been very gratifying to us to note tho fact that "tho au tolosa Sunday" Is not. altogether unpopular, though wo had hoped for a uniform and universal compliance with tho government's retines! to abstain from the operation of automobiles on Sunday in order it) save, gasoline, anil thus "help to win the war." A number of automobiles were operated last Sunday, some of thom local (Walhalla), cars, we regret to say. Tho number was not great, however, and tho local authorities stopped evory car ami took tho num ber thereof. The record of cars ..frvnooft ?mi numbera taken down aro ;ti* ' .) ',. . .v's-. ? av i\'o.

The government has requested that all non-ossential automobile trips be eliminated on Sundays until such time ns tho gasoline shortage has benn overcome. It is as little as any patriotic citizen can do to comply with this simple request. But it Booms that some aro unwilling to bo ineouvcnlonced oven to this small degree. Wo wonder if any ono of those who made noedless auto trips last Sunday thought for ono Instant of tho fact that "oui' boys over there" aro giving their lives for our country and for us? Tho man or woman who is unwilling to give up evon tho small ploasure of a Sunday ride must consider himself or her self Infinitely bettor than "our boys." Tho fact of tho matter ls that one ?who is tin willing to forego tho -Sun day loy ride, bo he whom ho may, of whatever financial or official position, ls so pitiably little that he "would be highly honored should ono of these soldier boys, on lils return from "over thoro," porniit him to lick the dust off his boots. We publish tho numbers of the oars operated last Sunday. Next week we w.lll, if (ho names of own ers and operators of cars aro fur nished us by tho local authorities, publish this information in addition to the numbers of the cars.

The address of Mr. Wood will be remembered, and it was a particular ly fortunate thing that there were represen tat i ves from every nook and corner of Oconee. Ho told of the se rious situation in Russia, whore Ger many now holds sway over a large territory and is organizing the forces of 'Russia to the service of Germany in the Held of military operations as well as for economic purposes. There must bo a (tulek and severo blow struck in Russia by the allies in tho near future, ho said, If we are not to permit Germany to organize Russia's millions ol' illiterates and thoughtless ones against the very forces who seek to liberate them from the Her man yoke. The present largo and quick mobilization ol' America's forftv lr. designed lo rheo! tho needs of 1 hi ; "'?> pal ft ii . mu. i be ...

Ile ?poko of the numerous meth ods adopted by our government for tue conservation of food and mate rials essential to the winning of tho war. Hoforences were made to the observance of the autoless Sundays, and ho urged all to observe lt scru pulously as a patriotic duty. After summing up the reasonableness of tho government's request for conser vation of gasoline, ho asked the question, "Don't you think it would bo well to observe this reasonable request? Don't you think it would be more reasonable for you to put up the automobile six days a week in order to savo oil, than to be wasting an essential product driving about on non-essential trips?" And tho idler came in for a sharp and abrupt warning. "Co to work!" Mr. Wood called out in a voice that spoke more than his burning words "go to work now, voluntarily, in sonic ogscntlal occupation, or be put to work whether you wish to work or not." He recalled that he had on lils way here observod conditions at various places, "and," he said, "I have seen lots of able-bodied young mon clerking in stores, holding posi tions that might just as well be held by young ladies or older men." As boarlng upon this phase of the labor situation he recalled that ho had noted streams of young women, | handsomely and expensively dressed, parading tho streets with nothing to do. These might just as woll be holding down tho clerkships hold by able-bodied men, releasing these men for military service or work In somo essential field. "I am obsrving these things now," he said, "and they will be acted upon in the future. Hadn't you hotter get to work, young man. In some essen tial position? 1 think you should bo at work thore now, or fighting for your country." There ls plenty of work for all to do, he assurod the audience, and tho government ls call ing for workers in a hundred differ ent occupations. There's plenty of essential work to be done! "Ho to it!" Get out of non-essential positions now, he advised the audience and close up as quickly as possible, while you can do lt without financial loss, all non-essential businesses. The government is making this request now; a little later, If tho request is not complied with, you aro going to be called upon to get to some essen tial work, lt will come lu the shape of an order, and yon may not have time to wind up your affairs advan tageously. ' ?Mr, Wood's address was packed throughout with good advice and plain warnings. Ho was listened to attentively throughout, and If there is ono who has folt Inclined to criti cise tho strong expressions and blunt warnings given we have not hoard of him. This section of tho country ls warming to tho situation, and public opinion Is fast setting Itself uniform ly against any man who holds back In tho crisis to consider peraonal comforts, oaso and luxury as. worth ?Hl,HUH MEN AUK CAI/LHI).

Deuomiiugtiotnal In.stjit vitions Have Great Work bi Abolishing Illiteracy'. Tho Baptists of South Carolina are ' planning for a 'great-drive for educa- | lion this fall. During September, October and Novemobr they propose to cover tho State with a hand-to- ? hand canvass for $350,000 to cover the indebtedness of their institutions I and ,to add to their endowment. The ' Baptist denomination, which aggro gates about 100,000 members in this | State, ls operating Ave eolloges and live academies. Those {properties, ! together with their endowments, are 1 worth $1,802,770. This is no small Investment for ono denomination to make in education in this Statte, lt will bo seen, therefore, that the total indebtedness of $210,000 is .only a little over 10 por cent of the value of their school and college property. These debts were incurred for build ings and improvements made neces sary by their growing patronage. They do not roprosent failure of these instit Int ions to meet curront expenses! Our people need to appreciate the gerat work the Christian denominar ?tiona aro doing in tho field of educa tion in this State. There aro four teen college's supported by the vari ous demonina'tlons in this State--? five by tho1 (Baptists, three Iby the Methodists, two by the Presbyte rians, two by the A.R.iP.'s and two by tho (Lutherans-and these col leges aro giving college training to moro than half tho college men and women of tho State. Tho Ha'ptists alono .are providing collogo facilities I for nearly .ono-fifth of all our col- ' lege students. This is no small ser vice these denominations are render ing to tho Stato of South Carolina. Our people need to understand .and appreciate this great work of the church. Efforts like that being put forth by tho Baptists this year aro both Christian and patriotic services 'and deserve tho greatest success. Our whole population needs to bo stirred on tho subject of education. South ?Carolina now ?has tho unenviable distinction of standing at the bot tom of the list of all tho States of tho Union in tho matter of literacy. .ISouth Carolina has to her shame 25 per cent of illiteracy, according to tho last census report-the largest per cont of illiteracy of any Stato ?in tho Union. This moans that 25 'per cont of our clti/ons can neither road .nor write. This condition constitutes our (greatest problem and our grav est poril. Surely ovory . patriotic and Christian Citizen in this Stato ought to givo encouragement to ovory educational endoavqr put .forth tn South Carolina. In this particu lar movement ovory I?ap'tlsl ls under obligation to do his host to make this off ?rt a groat success.
