Postmaster Fant to-day issues a warning to thrifty persons here abouts to be on their guard against buying counterfeit War Savings Stamps. Fraudulent blue stamps of ihe 1919 series have been made by counterfeiters, the postmaster has been advised, and these are being sold to the unwary. "But the frauds can be easily de tected," said .Mr. Fant. "Ben Frank lin's picture appears on '*he stamp, and in the counterfeit stamp old Hen seems to have the, mumps lu hts left jaw. Indeed, there ls. a pronounced swelling. Then, under the portrait tho lower of the two lett dots is com paratively indistinct,, and,, the'- vertl* Hikopenihi?'lJ^ lower left part'of the numeral '2' In the date '1924' ls closed..The princi pal feature of the fraud, however, is tho swollen cheek. "It should be remembered that the counterfeit is only of the 1919 series, and, like the original, is blue. Blue War Savings Stamps can no longer be bough t from post offices or other authorized agencies. Only the 1920 stamps, which are red, are now being sold by agencies. Sales of last year's stamps are not legal. No one should buy a 1919 stamp, though it ls true that some havo been improperly of fered for sale. "Every one who bought the 1919 stamps last year may feel perfectly safe," Mr. Fant said in conclusion, "because the counterfeit was not made until after the first of tho year. The blue stamps had then been withdrawn from sale by the author ized agencies, and the red ?.1920 stamps were being sold. Don't buy any 1919 stamps, and keep a look out for the picture of the man with the mumps. If you see one, let me know." Appreciates Stand Taken, Edgefleld, S. C., May 6, 1920. Hon. James M. Moss, Walhalla, S. C. Dear Mr. Moss:- . I see by the State of Tuesday that your county convention went on rec ord favoring woman suffrage in the primaries. I believe yours to be the only ono doing so. Personally 1 wish to extend to you my hearty thanks, and to assure you of the appreciation of the women of South Carolina. We will see to it that when the suffrage history of South Carolina is written, this fact shall be recorded. Like the little streams of your mountains, lot us hope that this beginning will become a mighty torrent, sweeping all oppo sition before it. We so much hoped that our own State would havo en franchised us, but since that is one of the things that cannot now be, it is like balm to a wound to read what Oconee has done. Very sincerely, Mrs. W. L. Dunovant, Press Chairman, S. C. Equal Suffrage League. To Try Gosnoll This Week.
