SSBmiVp TT WIIVII WfMIHIVU IW monttrat* Their Patriotism. Charleston, S. C.?February is expected to prove one of the most critical months of the war, and whether the war is iw be prolonged or shortened j will be decided to a great extent by what the millions of Americans at home do toward backing the army. This Is the judgment of prominent government officials who visited Charleston in the middle of the month. One of the most significant utterances made during the entire war was made by a prominent German official when America cast her lot with tho Allies: "We do not fear the American soldiers, because they cannot arrive in time; what we fear Is the Intelligence and devotion of one hundred million Americans trained to a faith in individual initiative. The day that those hundred millions act as one, that day le Germany's deom!" Hastening the Doom. To enable the hundreds of millions of Americans to act as one Is one of the main objects of the war savings plan which the government is instituting as a mighty weapon against Germany. That is the underlying object of the drive for war savings soctettos which Is being pushed during this month, and through which millions of Americans are expected to pledgo themselves to stand pack of the army and navy by avoiding needless expenditures and thereby release the goods and services which are needed to equip the army and navy properly and efficiently. R. Goodwyn Rhett, state director for war savings, has issued the following statement: "Joint the company of savers! Let a company of savers back every company of soldiers. The war savings committee of your county is carrying on a campaign this month for the formation of war savings societies. War Savings Societies make it easy for you to join with others in saving a portion of your earnings as they come in and invest them in War Savings 8tamps Every loyal man. woman, and child in South Carolina rthould join a War Savings Society, not neat week, but NOW. Let us respond patriotically to the government's call. Let us act as one, and bring nearer Germany's day ef doom." News of Gold Hill. E. F. Blankenship returned to Greenville last week, after spending a few days at home with his parents. D. V. Epps, of Tampa. Fla., ie spending the month here with his parents and friends. Miss Ruth Faris, of Pittsview, Ala., is SDendirc her vacation here at the home of her brother, Carl Faris. Miss Faris will return home via Greenville, S. C., where her brother lies dangerously ill of typhoid fever. Gary Windle of Furman University and Miss Mabel Smith of Winthrop College are at home for the summer vacation. The writer enjoyed himself very much Friday nicrht at a social entertainment over in the Flint Hill community. The social was given by the Fidelis Sunday school class to their brother Bereans at the home ol the teacher, Mrs. J. T. Garrison. The spacious drawing room was opened at an early hour where the hostess, Miss Mary Garrison, welcomed the merry couples. Various indoor games were indulged in until called to the dining room to feast on the different courses served there. To say' the occasion was thoroughly enjoyed is to mildly express the sentiment of both classes. Social functions of this nature act as "live wires" to any successful religious organization. B. C. B.
