remember that you personally responsible for the success of the boys who go to the
front. 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

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

sought the money order from
[lie Pageland office I'd transfer
my business to some other office
where business was more brisk.
But I'd better hush. 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.
