C,, July ll--the state War Savings Committee urges that those who pledged themselves in the June W. S. S. Campaign to purchase' War Sav ings Stamps during the remaining months of the year should not wait until the last minute but should cooperate with the government by purchasing the specified amount of stamps at the earliest day possible. That is. If stamps are pledged for July, the subscriber should nuke ev ery effort to purchase them in the early part of the month. This will make the work ct the potto Oce and fata easier, and wITT enable the State to make a bet ter showing at .Washington in the Cam paign. The Comdilttee points out that the pledges were made to the govern ment. and, therefore, all should cooper ate to the fullest exteat fa fulfiUiag the pledge*. . ? WAS CROSSING THK |>CKAN. Captain Bradford (ifitf) Cheerful Letter. From Ills Son on Shipboard. Captain A. Al. Brailsford, of this city, received an interesting aud, ehoerful let ter- from his won, Major A. M. Broils* forrt, who before entering the army, wiih a physician at Mnllins, S. C. He is now in charge of the Field Hospital Corps of the J 10 th l?ivi*ion and was aboard ship on his way to France. The letter bore a date line of 'Monday, June 10th.* ami in part is us follows: V i '"Kly jlinr Father: We we/e fojcUinato in being assigned to a magnificent ship and afe making wonderful time in our trip across. The weather has been line and the waters of the briny deep have been almost as quiet as a bay or harbor. Very few cases of mal-de-mcr. For my self I haven't missed a meal and never felt better in my life. "ItY i?jpite of submarines operating in American Waters and the fact that we are now passing through their zone of danger in European waters, no one ap : pears \yorried. On t bo contrary every; | body seems happy. The officers have cards and music in the lounge and the men danee to tin- band on the deck* and indulge in various games. They over llow with good huuior and cheerful new.*. They climb up into the most inaccess ible places, to the dismay of the ship's oflicers. who frequently go after thorn and chase them down. These splendid boys, mosj of them from the sunny south, refuse to take the situation seriously and insist ' upon having a good tirte. The only thing that seem to worry them is a bout' drill. This, drill is to instruct them how to act in the event of a u-boat getting in ? hit. I believe they consjdcu this drill a nuisauce ? an invention to disturb their rest" or break up a friendly game. The ship's olllcers ami sailors say that if these are the kind of men I-iiclo Sam is sending to the front the war will not last long? they are "skeered o'noth ing." !

Thesei electors cannot participate in (lie coming primary election unless do liberately perjuring themselves. "A defeated candidate for the United States Senate and a prominent candidate for the same ofliee in the approaching primary election openly by word of mouth, through the public press of the state nnd privately advised his followers that they were not bound to support the* nominees of the party in the general elec tion. The instigator of the crime under the written and moral law is us guilty as the real criminal and his punishment should be hp great.
