The People of Barnwell County dis played their patriotism during the past week by contributing between $5,- 300 and $5,500 to the national Red Cross fund of $100,000,000, exceeding the county’s allotment of $5,000 by several hundred dollars. The town of Barnwell led with $1,700, Allendale, Williston, Blackville and Fairfax fo- lowing in the order named. Advices from Washington state that the fund like th^ Liberty Loan, was largely ovtT 1 -subscribed by the people of the United States, again demonstrating to the world at large and to Germany in particular that the American people are in the war to win. i TV lomm bears interest at SH cent and the interest It two and forty five millions a year, nearly $600 a minute—just interest. Once more: Suppose a train made up of seven billion passenger coaches the couplings or connection not being i rigid, there is an interval of about lalf a second between tTte starting of the engine and each attached car. Such a train would be 110 years, 8 lours 37 minutes and 20 seconds in starting. That is the last coach of the train would not move until the ^e would have been moving, day and night, for over 110 years. And if we allow six inches for the slack between each coach, the engine would have to go 662,878 miles, or over 26 times around the earth before the last car would move! r And, if the war lasts this unthink able sum will all be put into circulation in this country within a short time— and the wheels of trade must hum! • SEVEN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. i.r a visit to relatives in Florence.

And it would take the United States mint, working night and day, 2224 years to coin the dollars. At Five dollars an acre, this vast sum would pay for every acre of land in the continental United States. Imagine, if you can, seven billions of dollars in dollar “greenbacks," end to end—they will go round the earth at the equater nearly 34 times! And it would take an express train, run ning continuously, for two and one- half years, to cover the distance. Seven billions of dollars will buy two pairs of good shoes for every man, woman and child on earth today— Christiaa and pagan. Had an express train started at the dawn of the Christian era, going at the rate of a mile a minute, it would today, figuratively speaking, hardly have gotten out of the train sheds, for it would have gone only one seventh of the distance. And would now, 1917, have yet eleven thousand four hundred years io complete the journey of seven billion miles. Count it—ridiculous! Imagine an expert counter* of money counting seven billion of dollars in dollar bills, an expert enough to count one a second— belonging to the “union,” working eight bourn s day, Sundays and holidays excluded, and then im agine him working the job for 60 years, then turning over the work to another—the first Brian who tackled the job would have been dead 700 years when the fifteenth man quitting the jub ■each man of the fifteen work ing year —would stiH leoie enough o( will A mode for the J TO WILMINGTON from oA pmala A NerA C fAwth CoraAas. \ogwsta.
