Tlie Fourth Liberty Loan "grand fall opening" was held last Saturday night In Walhalla, lt was a success from the word go, and the crowd that witnessed tho parade and heard tho address of Dr. D. W. Daniel, ol' Clem son College, has been variously esti mated from 2,500 to 0,000. Those accustomed to estimating crowds seem to agree that there wore altont 3,000 people massed in .Main street, between the hotel and the Wagoner monument. Tho crowd and this is more Important than the numbers in it was good-natured, jolly, and, host of all, ready and anxious lo buy Liberty Bonds ol' the fourth loan. And they bought! Miss Liberty arid tho American Soldier were; put. "over the top" twice in the evening in a competitive bidding for bonds, tin; total subscrip tions amount in round figures to $05,000, or about ono-seventh of what Oconee is experted to raise, in the bidding Clem Watkins and .las. I?'. Neville were the two individuals who went "over the lop," their sub scriptions marking a total of $10,not) each. And just here it is worthy of note that neither Clem Watkins nor Jim Neville is given to over-loud or su perfluous talking. But a bystander happened to hear Mr. Watkins talk ing in a conversational tone to a friend interested in the climbing lig ures of Mr. Watkins' purchases or subscriptions. "Coing pretty high, Mr. Watkins, aren't yon?" was asked. "Ob, 1 don't know; going 'over ibo top,' though!" "flit her for ten thousand, you mean ?" "Yes, and ten more, too. If needed. And I've got some pro port y I can sell and put in if more is needed-'-and if 1 am needed, although I am getting up in years, I am ready to go my self !" And Mr. Watkins looked as though he meant just what he said. And he did moan it. But wo didn't start out to write a story about Clem Watkins and Jim Novillo, who turned the big tricks and trumped all the off-suit aces in the game. As any correct writer of Fnglisb would say, "They done no ble!" hut there were others in the crowd bidding for bonds who went just ns high, doubtless, gauging by financial ability, etc.. when they bid for smaller amounts. Tho fact remains that the crowd was there and the people were read) to buy bonds, did buy bonds, and the allotment for Walhalla District is going to bc forthcoming. Nobody ls going to lag behind, and every fel low is going to do his full share. The Parade. formed at tho Presbyterian church about S.I.") o'clock and marched up Main street to the Lutheran church, where a turn was made, passing down Main street to near the Wage ner monument. The street was jammed with humanity when Dr. D. W. Daniel, of Clemson, began his ad dress, and not a person left the crowd until long alter lie had spo ken. He made a most admirable ad dress, sand wielling in here and there just enough of humor to keep tho crowd in that trame of mind at once serious of thought, yet lacking any thing approaching gloom. The parade was headed by a Camp Sevier band of 43 pieces, and the "band boys" carried everything by storm. From the time the boys In khaki reached town until they left about 10.30 Sunday a "common mor tal"-that is to say, just a town boy -didn't have any more 3how with a girl than a snowbird In Hellena, down in Newberry county. Those Khaki Boys from Sevier were the roal thing, too-fine fellows, real American soldiers, chivalrous, polite and (we got this by overhearing) "so cute." Thero were a number of floats In the parade, and banners, ser vice flags and slogans were to be seen on every band. "Miss Liberty," however, held the center of attrac tion for the crowd when the bidding hogan and Liberty climbed the steps leading to a platform some 25 feot Above tho street. As the bidding pro gressed Miss Liberty ascended the steps; and, as wo Indicated in our reference to Mr. Watkins and Mr. Neville, Liberty was finally carried 'over the top" with a $10,000 sub scription. At the top, however, Miss Liberty waited for a brief period, looking over at the Amorican Sol dier about to ascend from the other lido. And the bidding bogan again, md the 'American Soldier bogan to climb. As tho bids rose tho soldier went highor and higher toward Lib arty, and nnother $I 0,000 mark gave him tho impetus necessary to carry him up to Liberty's pinnacle, and to gether-beatlfully symbolic and with prophetic realism-Liberty and the American Soldier went "over the top." Liberty was represented by Miss Ru nice Macaulay, while George Harrison did the honors as an Ameri can Soldlor. And the parade, the Liberty Bond campaign opening, the spirit of the crowd, tho addresses ol' County Chairman Brown and Dr. Daniel were voted the real thing each In its own sphere. The work bas been begun for this district. Let us koop it up. Liberty must be pul "over tho top" in a world sphere just as surely as she was put over in tho celebration last Saturday night. lt can be. done-and lt will be done. (?et that fixed in your mind, then hold it and do your part. lOvery bond bought means a stroke for Universal Liberty, a helping band extended to the American Soldier at the front in Ku rope. Preliminary Work Begun. At the Baptist church, Saturday evening before the outsido Liberty Bond parade and work was begun, a business meeting was hold, <ovor which County Chairman ?W. M. Brown presided. Rev. E. P. Taylor and lt. T. Jaynes made addresses at this meeting. Practically all of tho representativos of tho 35 school dis lllllllllHIIlIilllillllillllf% The Hun His Mark! There is a plain fact that every Amer ican business man must face. This war is not a dollar war. It is a war for justice, for truth, for right, and for human de cency. Its financial aspects are minor aspects when mea sured against terms of human suffering and bloodshed. But still the question must be asked and must be answered by American men: " Shall the German mark conquer the Amer ican dollar?" What the Dollar Stands For The American dollar stands for a business world of square dealing, of equal opportunity to all people, of free commercial intercourse all over the worla. You know what the German mark stands for-a commercial system ai an active instrument of foul plotting, espionage, and Prussian propaganda* Enlist Your Dollars Every American dollar must be enlisted in the great army that is now being mobilized against the Potsdam autocracy - the great army of the Fourth Liberty Loan. Enlist your dollars to win a world in which fair dealing and an equal opportunity for all shall be the guiding principles. Buy all the Liberty Bonds you can. Every bond you buy safeguards your home, your business - all you possess, and all you hope to have. Buy Liberty Bonds/ :: Buy as you feel! :: Buy to your limit! Ullin..

The work was mapped out, and these representa tives entered Into tho plans with a will and tull of enthusiasm for the raising of the funds necessary to meet the district's quota. Bach school district bas been allotted a portion of the loan to be raised in the dis trict, and the proportions are based upon the taxable values in various school districts. The meeting was a most harmonious one in all respects? and the various representatives were enthusiastic in the beginning of their work.
