Twenty-three hundred and
sixty men registered in this
county on Tuesday of last week, '
and several have registered '
since that time. Fourteen hundred
and sixty-three were
whites, and eight hundred
and ninety-seven were
negroes. It is estimated that ;
about one in fourteen will be
taken in the first call.. This
means that this countv will send 1
about one hundred whites and
about sixty-four negroes into
training this summer. These
figures may be materially chang- ^
ed by the consideration of the
number of enlisted men from
this county already in the service 1
as compared with the number
from other states and counties
and by exemptions. The num !
ber may be increased, and it 1
might possibly be decreased, ^
but the latter is improbable.

Chesterfield county is like a ,
newspaper man in at least one
rpsnprt It ic horH tr? not

money to pav the bills as they
are presented. Those who (
have claims against the county
are being paid off by certificate, ,
which simply states that there (
is an approved claim on file for |
a certain amount. The banks (
do not handle them, and the ,
holder finds it necessary to carry
over these certificates in many ,
instances until tax paying time
again, or until the county gets (
some money. Our information
is that there is a law which al
lows the county to borrow only j
fifteen thousand dollars a year
X - -
lur curreni expenses, and that ,
this amount was borrowed last i
year and not paid. Early this j
year it was necessary to borrow
this amount to settle the old
note, and the interest was paid ,
out of the current fund. The
county has borrowed to the
limit and is at present practically
without funds. It is thought j
that possibly the law may be in (
terpreled to mean only the fif
teen thousand may be borrowed
for the current expenses of that '
year, and that the amount borrowed
to pay the old note will
not be counted as current expenses.
In that case money
may be borrowed for the expenses
this summer.
What They Told the Registrars
Monroe Journal.
The registrars were amused at
some answers given to the qu^s ,
tions: psnoriollu ?
, j u, iiiv uuinitS).
Esq. P. H. Johnson asked one 1
darkev if he had had any pre ,
vious military experience. ;
"Yassah, boss," he replied, "Pse (
been shot in de leg!" Sub Re i
corder Pratt, who was assisting in \
the work.hadtolav down his pen 1
for a few minutes to laugh when
a darkey, on being asked if he
was a native of the United States,
said: "No, sail, 1 was born neah
Charleston, Souf Calina!" ]
One darkey came dragging
into the registration room labor j
ing under the nomenclature of ]
"Christopher Columbus George
Clinton Reed." The blank
space on the card for the name 1
wouldn't hold all of this, but
the registrar managed to get it 1
on the ^ard by crowding matters
a little. 1
Edwin Nrven, who registered
them at Waxhaw, says one ne
gro, on being asked his race,
replied: "Good!" Another dark- 1
ey, on being asked by Ed if he
had any dependants upon him,
said: "Yassah, mv daddy's got a 1
whole house full of kids, and I <
has to work like de berry debil 1
to feed 'em!" Still another one
told Mr. Niven that ire didn't
have any address, because he (
pever received any mail.
The Liberty Loan Catechism
Q. What is the Loan for?
A. To pay for feeding cloth
ing and munitioning the men
who are fighting for you.
Q. Where can I buy a bond?
A. At any bank; or at the
Post Office.
Q. Aren't Bonds too big for
me?
A. You can get them any
size from $50 and $100 up to
5100,000.
Q. Do I have to pay all cash
down?
A. No.
Q. How much do I have to
pav now on a $100 bond?
A. $2 down on subscribing
(June 15th last day.)
Q. When do I have to pay
the rest?
A. $18 on June 28th. $20 on
[uly 30th. $30 on August 15th.
530 on August 30th; plus in
terest earned by the bond before
it is paid for.
Q. Would I pay at like rates
for other bonds?
A. Yes. For a $50 bond cut
the figures in half. For a $1,000
bond multiply them by ten.
Q. Can easier terms of payment
be had?
A. Most banks are arranging
to carry the payment for subscribers
and collect in monthly
installments.
Q. What interest do the
bonds pay?
A. 3 1-2 per cent, a year.
Q. Do I have to pav taxes on
them?
A. No. Nor on the income
from them.
Q. How can 1 get my money
out of them if I want it?
A. They are saleable on a
few minutes notice in the bond
exchanges. Most people would
be glad to accept them as money,
even though they are not le?al
tender.
Q. Suppose the government
should issue more bonds bearing
4 or 5 per cent, interest like
Great Britain has done, wouldn't
rnv Kfvnrlc rrrv rlnnm !?.
i+.j UV,UU? f^y-F uuoll IU Viuuc:
A. The Government provides
for this. You can turn your
U2 per cent, bond in at par as
subscription for a new bond
bearing the higher interest rate,
it issued.
0- How is the Liberty Bond
paying 3 12 per cent, equal in
attraction to the savings bank
paying 4 per cent?
A. It gives absolute security
against loss; interest starts from
the day of investment; it is secure
against future taxation as
well as present taxation. A
great many people think the
bonds will sell at a premium
after the war. It is the opportu
nity of a life time for all people
who have money put away.
0. Why should I put my
money into bonds anyhow?
A. Your brothers are offering
their lives to save the nation
from the' great dangers that
threaten it. You are only asked
to put vour money into a giltedged
investment that will pay
interest from the day you make
it. All you have in the world
you owe to your country. If
you fail to do the little that is
asked can you look your fellow
liii&ciis in ine lace without
shame? Do your bit to make
sure that democracy shall endure
in this world.
