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."

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.
