C. Dear Sir:? The following is copy of a telegram just received by this Bank: ? a ' - ~r\ t-? OA 1 fl I 7 "Daiaart. rexis, s:o? r% wu a**. Federal Land Bank, Columbia, S. C. s & ISo class of our people are more ^"vitally concerned in the successful ^ prosecution'of the war with Germany than the farmers because the value of their product depends upon the Haaintenance of America's right to the freedom of the seas, this right being ^ one of the chief things challenged by W th German Kaiser in this war. If our commerce can be destroyed at the will Gf any foreign power.at any time that it suits the purpose of that power, as submission by the United States to the German Kaisec's edict would bring aljout, the farmers would be unabla to sell their surplus crops in the open markets of the world and f the value of our principal farm prodL nets would decline below the cost of & pi-eduction. America can never sur-" Et render this vital jight. We must vin Fdicate it. We can swiftly win this wai\ maintain our prosperity and secure the safety of our democracy here and J- at the same time make the world safe ' for democracy if we go forward with resolution / and courage and support v our gallant armies now already in the field. To do this the farmers of the ' United States as w$ll as all other * i ^ classes or our peopie must 1CUU tuwi . money ^o the Government by buying United States liberty Bonds, which I bear four per cent interest and are exempt from almost all taxation, State local and Federal. Farmers' sons as well as the sons of all other classes of American citizens are now in the field, We cannot equip them with the arms bid ammunition whch will give them [he best chance to save their own liv Hbs acid to win the war quickly un^Hiess the Government can seU Liberty ;&B?nds from time to time. I want the |^*'arm Loan Bank to make a special HJfeiTort from now until October twenty. Eleventh, when the subscriptions close, get every farmer to buy some of these bonds. No matter how small &Btbe amount. It is not only a question of saving the rights and prosperity of I the farmers and of all the people of the l United States, but of supporting our sons who have already been called to | the colors and through whose valor P and fighting ability we shall soon rem. establish a stable and just peace !n {.the world. It is the highest duty o; patriotism of the farmers and every Bther class of people to support our fcallant soldiers in the war and uphold America's vital rights. The least ser. Rice and good citizen and patriot can perform is to lend his money to the Government on the safest security in the worlds Set these facts to all the (Farmers in your community and urge to do their part. fW. G. McAdoo." I <e earnestly request that you have! given wide and immediate publicin your community. e also urge that in this time of nation's need that the farmers, are getting the highest prices in history, meet this call to their paism, especially when patriotism i s-ood business are combined. tThis same government that is malting his capital at the lowest rate and furnished the necessary capital free oi charge, so that the farmer is securing his capital at th lowest rate and cost favorable terms of any industry ^business in this country. (We urge that every farmer buy a Ind and buy it now.

Secretary THE LIBERTY LOAX J < CAMPAIGN LAST SABBATIC The campaign for the sale of 'Liberty Loan bonds was not launched in c this county until witom tne past iew * days. There was a public meeting on 1 the public square on Saturday after- i noon at 3 o'clock, and speeches were t made by Dr. <Wl C. Brown, Congressman Fred. H. Dominick and Senator * Johnstone. There was a fairly gootf * attendance and interest was manifest, t ed by those present . t The campaign, as outlined in the i last issue of The Herald and News, was ( carried out on Sunday, so far we have ] hparH meetings heiner held at the plac-l t es as announced and the speakers be- i ing present. I Very much to our surprise the com- ! mittee, knowing our position on the f Sabbath campaign, they assigned as i to go along with Dr. G. Y. Hunter at ( Hanna colored church in Xo. 8 town- ( ship in the morning and at Xew Chap- i ? ? tVia camp tn-cmshin in the after- i iU WUU1V w ? .. ? r noon. : J ( We went to Hanna in the morning,; \ but on account of sickness at { home, we did not feel like remaining < all day, so we decided to come home i and return in the afternoon to New ] Chapel, but on the return we had a j puncture of a tire, which delayed us j and then Mr. Hammond was here mak- j ing some needed repairs on the lino.' j type, and we did not get back to New , Chapel. We regret it if it caused any j one disappointment. } i We have not changed our opinion as 1 to the Sabbath campaign, but having ( been conscripted, and these being war , times, we decided that we would go at the command of the commanding t officers, and do our duty as st we j could, even though the doing of it was , not in accord with our views. They say in war it is not the duty of the j private to question the reason why but j f A Al\AtT BIIUPIJ W UUVJ t ; J Dr Hunter did not show up at Han ; ] i na and we suppose failed to be at New Chapel. The meeting had not been sufficiently advertised and the colored people at Hanna did not generally < know of the appointment though we 1 had some fifty to one hundred present, i i and we tried to explain in as plain i and simDle language as we could the ] bonds and the duty of every citizen 1 who can to buy one or more, and the ] colored people present gave close and ] interested attention and we are satis-; j ' * fied that several bonds will be taken < by them 1 * 1 * I ; ,! Mr. J? Fred Schumpert went along 1 with me, and he says that the bonds : and The Herald and News will get a ' good lift from that community, and ; then the molasses that they are mak- 1 ing in that section win oe suirrieui keep the people in sweetening even if the price of 3u^tt:* should go beyond j " the reach of the average citizen, and they are making some of the best. j ] _ i Several of our friends in lhat sec-1 tion have promised 10 send us some 1 and the prospect now is that we will ! have a sufficiency of these good coun- 3 try sweets to do through the winter ~ " ? r.,'t unless some or tne promises lan. .

I We came back by Nesr Chapel and. Dead Fall.

A negro boy lost his life in a peculiar manner Sunday afternoon. Tha family lives on Mr. Bachman Cromer's place in No. 4 township. In th? absence of the rest of the family at church the boy, Coley McMorris, about 14 years old, attempted to get in the house through a window, the doors being locked. The window being out oC his reach he place a box so as to reach it from that advatngtae, He had raised the sash when the box slipped, causing him to let go to save himself from ialling That is the supposition, as his body was found hanging from th? window with the sash on his neck* The falling of the sash' smothered him without breaking his neck. He was dead when found about four o'clock that afternoon. Coroner Lindsay and Deputy Sheriff Dorroh went to the place, but no inquest was held .as it was purely accidental. The boy was only trying to get into his home. Little Edna, the five-ycars-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Beacham of Helena, went to Central * Methodist church Sunday morning. She wanted to kow why Mr. Dibble didn't preacti on Lberty bonds.
