Dear Sir:?
The following is copy of a telegram

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!

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

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

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

unless some or tne promises lan.

The meeting was opened by singing ]
the hymn being line! oy Pierce Har-1 ^
mon and a good brother Pay singer, |
led in a fervent prayer and Andrew^
Floyd presided. Several of 'h^stt color;...!
ha * already purchased j
oonds and the quest'oas t.l-ey .j

them will buy. : J ,

Mr,. J. A. Foy came over, he said, to ( \
ask Dr. Hunter and us to go by an-1 , j
take dinner with him, which was very- J j
kind and thoughtful of him, and we j
' I
regretted very much that we could not ( <
accept the invitation,' but we were so ^ ]
situated that we had to return- tot ;

We came back by Nesr Chapel and.

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.
