' On my maternal grandmother's side a great uncle cf mine, Mar maduke Ccates, deeded the public square of Newberry to the then new county for a county seat, and my internal grandfather, James Smyley, was closely related to -he Cald-.veils and Calhour.s, indeed as a penni \ less lad in his teens he was making his way on foot to Newberry from Colleton coun'y. when he shopped at a carriage factory located at or about Saluda ccu^t he-re cv Ked Bank. Eeirg of a mechanical turn of mind he apprenticed himself to the proprietor of tlrs factory where he worked for five jears, ard learned to be an expert carriage and wagon maker.

First, every bond or stamp certifiite may be registered with the reasury Department. Registration leans-that the owner's name and the umber of his security have been registered" by the government, and lat nobody but himself can posbly get the money which the bond r stamp certificate calls for. Cerficates may be registered through le nearest postoffice; bonds through le nearest bank. And the second method for safe- ' uarding has been provided by the anks themselves. Every bank?r,aonal bank or savings bank?and ev-' ry trust company has, of course, tnple and secure caults. For the man !1 ho docs not feel that he can afTord j' > rent a safe deposit box to keep \ iberty Bonds and War Savings tamps in, many of the banks and *ust companies have announced their ' illingness to keep these securities >r him in their oT.vn vaults.

He awohe one morning to find that he had no place to live. His residence had been sold and he and his family were asked to va cate. He could find no houses for rent within his means, and was confronted with the necessity of leaving the city or buying a home for his family. He could not buy without mailing a substantial initial payment, and ready funds were seemingly beyond reach. Then he thought of his War Sav ? U/V tKflW ings OUillipa. JL1C ICUiCillUbXbU w UVJ were redeemable on ten days' notice, with accrued interest. With the proceeds of these stamps and such small sums as he could gather he made first payment on a new home in the suburbs. Recently he refused to sell it for $1,200 more than the purchase price.
