You can meet this obligation through buying Liberty War Bonds. When you buy Liberty War Bonds you are not GIVING but LENDING your money to your country. Every dollar you invest is secured by the U. S. Treasury gold, and bears interest at the yearly rate of 3 1-2 per cent, payable twice a year. Liberty War Bonds may be purchased in multiples of $50.00, They will mature in 30 years and are redeemable in 15 years. Thev are absolutely exemp t from income tax, and may be registered in multiples of $100.00. Should the Government, before the end of the war, issue any bonds at a higher rate of interest than 3 1-2 per cent, Liberty War Bonds may be exchanged for them. The last great government bond issue sold for par in 1898 and 110 3 4 in 1900 So valuable were these bonds that the Secretary of the Treasury could secure only 'one-tenth of them when he offered redemption. Every cent of Two Billion Dollar Loan made through Liberty War Bonds will be spent in America for American goods and American wages. This great flood of wealth will be poured into every nook and cranny of.our business activity You, as an American citizen, k dependent on American pros- YVi perity, can see your reward as 'rBjMNL v V well as your duty in buying \ \ J Liberty War Bonds. f Send into Service every dot. yLMfiJt jflBm H lar that can be spared from your pJHhB j h 0^6? sav^ n gs^y r The Bank of Pageland - -TKasl)- - I Stuff you needn't read unless you care to.

Jim Dargan, industrious negro who lives a mile or two Irom < town, thinks we were somewhat 1 in error a few weeks ago when we said all negroes and many i white people refuse to work on C? I _(. v?r_ _j? ouiuiuuy aiiciiiuuu. we aumil that this was overstating a truth. There are a few negroes who work on Saturday after noon and they are to be com mended for it. Jim is one of these. He says he didn't lose a Saturday afternoon from his farm last year when the land would do to plow. But Tim admitted however that to see one at work is the exception and not the rule. Mr. Jenkins Got Whipped "Uncle" Bill Jenkins doesa't think it good policy to interfere with the administration of paternal justice, and he speaks from experience. When he was 15 or 16 years old he went through with an ordeal that taught him much, and left a veryunpleasant feeling in the South ern states of hisanalomv. His father's custom was to get up at four o'clock, make a fire in the kitchen, and then call out byname each of his three sons to aid him in some kind of work while breakfast was being prepared. The boys did not approve of this, so on a certain morning they plotted to lay violent hands on the old man when he came in the second time to invite the youngsters out, a thing he usually did with a withe. The boys lay in the bed and watched the old man cut bushes a while and saw him put down his hoe and start for the house, cutting off a strong I limb as he came. Now was the boys' time to get revenge. When he entered the room, and reached < for Son William his feet were 1 jerked from under him by the 1 said William, who expected the 1 other boys to join him. This 1 the boys strangely neglected to 1 do, and a grip of steel held Wil- 1 liam by the back of the neck 1 while the limb was administered 1 in a manner calculated to fore- 1 stall future rebellious thoughts. When the young fellow was released and allowed to pass out to get his hoe he saw the other conspirators industriously chop ping bushes in the nearby newground. Reflection revealed to him that he had been a fool to try a tiling ot tins kind, and from that time forth he was a dutiful son. John Beasley Knovs All About Liquor In his column in the Monroe Journal, John Beaslev reprinted the article this paper carried last week, in which it was stated that a Union county man bought the only liquor money order issued at the post office here during May. John sets himself up as an authority on all matters per taining to the purchase and consumption of liquor, we will not dispute his claim. Read what he has to sav: 4,If Tucker thinks the class of men who order booze these days make payment to the Jacksonville distillers through Uncle Sam's money order department, he likes a few years yet of cutting his wisdom teeth. It's mostly done by personal checks; the banker, you know, keeps everything confidential. Prohibition was intended, so they say, 10 keep liquor away from the poor white folks and niggers. The big man, when he cast his dry vote, didn't for a minute think his daily dram would ever be in jeopardy, but the tables are being turned. The poor whites and negroes, if thev get a drink, secure it through the blind tiger route; while the rich man keeps a standing order tor his quart to be shipped every fifteen days. But that limited amount will probably be taken 1 away from him bv july 1, so he 1 too, will soon begin to feel the i lid clamping down on his head. i "A good many of this class ] feel like a prominent Union i county citizen who declared < "prohibition wasn't intended for t a gentleman." This same per- i sonage, when prohibition was . being advocated, stated publicly: i "Let's drive booze out of Union county." Another, who was i standing nearby, chimed: "Sure, and let's put it out of the State i of North Carolina." Still an- ? other cried: "Let's run it oui of i the United States." This caused the first gentleman to arise to his feet and protest. "Hold on," he | said, "let's not cover so much territory!" "By the way. It I were that Union county citizen who 1 M. L.

Tucker might take a fool notion to go down to that express office, get the names of the Union county folks who r?.cjived, prior to April 1, their regular gallon per month, and publish them. That would never do. It would hit the high spots." No, John, we will not publish the list. We have too much respect for you. Then we are reminded that there is excellent fighting material in Union coun ty, and we would probably have to flee to the Fiji Islands, wherever they are, to escape the wrath of most of the citizens of said county.
