Charleston, June 19.?The treasury department, at Washingtton, has sent an urgent appeal to the South Carolina war savings committee to exert every effort to cause the people of South Carolina to awaken to the absolute necessitv of a whole-hearted response to the War Savings campaign. It can now be said that as a whole the Deonle of this state have I now come to realize the extreme im- j portance of pledging liberally to save and invest the savings in war sav-j ings stamDs. What is needed now is ! a more emphatic realization of the i individual responsibility. The war has finally reached the critical stage where the individual j must work and spend h*s money with the welfare of the nation the first j oonsideraton. It is no longer a! question of what a person can afford i to spend?it is a question of whether j or not the nation can afford to hava j a person spend money on anything he wishes to buy. tMoney wasted at . home means lives wasted at the front j and that is the grim truth. Every ] cent that is now spent either helps J or hinders the nation in prosecuting the war. To sign the war savings pledge is; now a duty that only slackers will! r?tro r?a TV?o TITS T? cQvipca mnvpmpnt ! J. **V " Wi* ? ?

Neal of CamP : j Wadsworth, which is so full of in1 j terest we want the public to shars 1! part of it with us. After practicing !, at the rifle range Corporal Neal was 1,! promoted to his present position in the ranks and placed in the signal corps. He scored 231 out of a possible uOO, which is a fine record with the rifle. iHe says the work of the signal corps is interesting, though it j requires lots of thought and the | strictest discipline imaginable, to use his own tfords. i We quote: "The responsibility one has in the signal corps is much crreater than in any other (branch, for on his accuracy hangs the lives of many ' I men." That was well expressed, but I listen to the sentence immediately following the quoted words: "But I j am from 'Xewberrv and I am bound to rrake good " No one could express : j a better sent''ment than this. He is ! from dewberry and 'he must make I j good. We are all the more prepared ! i to 'believe him now when he says he j i i is eoiner after Kaiser Bill, and going | ! to get his scalp. We know he voices ! , the sentiment of all the iNewberry boys. He says he would like to see ! his friends here once more before he j goes, and in parting he sends his : j kindest regards to all. The letter was not written for pnb- j j lication, but as we have kept back the secrets we feel that onr friend j will excuse us for letting his other ( friends enjoy some of his good re- j marks. He tells the reporter to thinfc i of him sometimes when he is "in the thick of the fray." The true American ; hr.vc wants in "epf there/' He hate? a slacker. Corporal -Neat's main object in writing the letter was to hare i lis holci his copies of Th? Herald an:!
