The campaign to sell Liberty
Bonds to the amount of three
billion dollars began in various
parts of the country Monday.
We have decided not to invest
more than ten or fifteen thousand
dollars in these bonds lest
we deprive some other good
teUow of the privilege of lending
his money to Uncle Sam.
Monday was the first day of
the new month and was the day
tor collecting. It is safe to say,
however, that the storekeeper at
- McBee who has an account
against Uncle Sam will have to
wait a while yet. Some soldier
boys are said io have stopped
over there for a short while, and
after thev had drunk what they
wanted at the drug store they
walked out and called back,
"Charge it to Uncle Sam."
The negro recruits are coming
into the camps all over the
country, and in many places
they are presenting a problem
for the officers as there are no
negro regiments to which they
mr... : i T o .1.

about 2,000 are expected
to report at Camp Jackson Satur
day. The camp is ready for
\ them, and probably there will
be no difficulty in making assignments.
The negro conscript
is something new under
the sun and results will be awaited
with interests.
Supervisor E. R. Knight stated
Monday that he could not get
here with the county chain gang
to aid in building the road from
Pageland to the State line before
Wednesday of next week. He
had previously set October the
first as the date he would come,
but as he failed to finish the
work he had planned, he remains
in the sand hill section a
few days longer. The Federal
aid for South Carolina has been
taken up for this year and no
money will be available for this
piece of work. The people,
however, cooperating with the
county gang, can soon make
mis road a good one. Every
man in the community who believes
in good roads should assist
what he can in the effort to
make this a hard surfaced road.
"What about the cantonment?"
is heard on every hand,
and no one can answer it
definitely. All the data is now
in the hands of the War Depart
ment at Washington, and a
definite decision is hoped for
some time this week. The data
concerning this site was sub
mitted along with that of a
number of others including
several out West, and no one
can say where the lange will
be located until the war department
makes a decision. This
site has several advantages over
any others available and it is
believed that the chances are
very good that the site in this
county will be selected from
the entire list as the best site to
be had. The people await anx
iously the final decision. All
building, renting and trading
, within the proposed site is at a
standstill. No one knows how
to proceed. If the land is to be
converted into a training camp
for the soldiers the people will
have to 'moved out and find
homes alsewhere. No wonder
the people are anxiaus.
