A WORTHY EFFORT
Camden and Kershaw county completed the Mighty 7th
War Loan* drive with a record subscription of bonds and ex
ceeded its overall quota by some 160 per cent. At the last
report, which gave figures up to and including July 7, the
overall sales amounted to some $600,000, an excess of nearly
$200,000 over the quota.
The sale of E bonds soared to over $210,000, far above
the assigned quota. All of which indicates the response by
individuals to ^e war drive in the county was most gratifying.
The fine record in the Seventh War Loan drive not only
reflects the gendTous jesponse of the people of the community
to the war effort, but represents a masterful job on the part
of Chairman Marion Heyman, and the many men and women
assooiated with him in this drive.
Mr. Heyman has been chairman of every drive in the^
War effort and has done a fine job, a job that will stand out
in the county war effort as most praseworthy. Evenr drive
went over the top. The copgratulations of the public is ex
tended to Mr. Heyman.

They came and they saw and they conquered. “They”
were the~ federal agents who descended on Camden early last
week and picked off several score of nifotorists who both in
tentionally as-well as unintentionally had neglected to pur
chase a small federal use car tax sticker and attach same to
the windshield of their cars.
These gentlemen from the office of the Collector of In
ternal Revenue, were courteous and polite—but they were
also very firm. They did a iQasterful job of collecting, we
are told, and it is also reported that a number of car owners
wiho last year boasted that they were not “suckers” like a lot
of us who paid for our use car tags, were among the penitents
who faced the federal agents last Wednesday.
Frankly we do not like the $5 use car tax—and there
are a lot of our representatives in Congress who do not like
it—but never-the-less we were glad to see the long arm of
the law reach out and grab the guys who labeled some of
us “suckers” last year.
Our frank opinion of the use tax is that it is perhaps
the most unpopular of any tax on the government records.
We bought our stamp, licked it and attached it to our wind
shield, but we did not do any wild hurrahing about it. We
pay a city, county and state tax on our jalopy. We buy a
license tax every year. We buy gasoline^that is taxed by the
state nd the federal government. In other words, oui^ Ford
groans under a tax lo^.
The suggestion has been made that the government at
tach this $5 use tax to the fee charged for license plates and
then, be gorra, everyone will have to pay it. Or better yet,
we suggest that the use tax be repealed. The tax load, as
we stated is so hoavy on our four year old Liazie that we

And now it has happened. A Richmond newspaper has
adopted a rule in regard to referring to people by titles or
former titles. The rule, posted in the city room of the paper
and also published on the editorial page is as follows:
“This newspaper will not ^ve anyone a title in print
after he is discharged or has resigned from the service.”
In other w^rds, Captain Smith, when he is no longer in
the army, will be just plain Mr, Smith. The same, of course,
applies to Colonels, Majors, Generals,'Admirals, Etc.
W. G. Hazel, editor of The Pee Dee Advocate, published
at Bennettsville, in commenting upon the action of the Rich
mond paper- says: “This seems to me an excellent idea and
many other newspapers have begun to use it. After all, there
is no reason to call a man by a title he hq longer possesses,
except the old southern custom of attaching a Co), or Capt.
to pra^cally everybody of any distinction whatever.

He corrected me immediately by telling me he was Col. So
and so. I had to take his word for the Col. part of it, but
I agreed with him absolutely on the ‘,*80 and So” part of it.
“There are people who never get over a title, or possibly
some small public job. They imihediately get the seat of
their pants on their shoulder—and take the contents up with
it. They are to be pitied, and I should not like to offend-
such folk. I have known men who, having been magistrate
at some time in their lives, have relished with the keenest
pleasure being called Squire, and I have called them that be
cause I knew they liked it, that is, orally. But let’s not clutter
up the columns of the paper with obsolete or useless military
titles after they have ceased to mean anything.”
