MANY NEGROES LEAVE
PACTS AND FANCIES
FOR CAMP THIS WEEK
132 Hatc Been Ordered to Report to
the Local Board ofT Friday.
One of the largest levies of drafted
men made in Barnwell County since
Februa^r is that for June. 132 ne
groes have been ordered by the Local
Board to report in Barnwell Friday
morning, the 21st inst., at 9 o’clock
a. m. From this number 110 will be
selected and sent to Camp Jackson on
the noon train. In making this call
the members of the Board protected,
ms far as possible, the farming inter
est of the county, selecting those men
who could best be spared. In spite of
this, however, many farm hands are
among the list. It is thought that
the farmers will be hit rather hard on
the July call, as Class One has been
very thoroughly cleaned of all men
net actively engaged in farming, and
from now on order numbers will gov
ern entirely the selection ef the draft
ed men It is thought that the July
call Wll to far .bout *00.000 mm.
Class One will he exhausted about
January let. lilt.

Fairfax, June. 15.—Little Karon
Duke, the infant daughter of Dr. and
Mrs. Duke, passed away Saturday
morning, June 1st, after an illness of
about two weeks. She was seventeen
months old and a little sunbeam in the
home. 'All that human skill and love
could do was done, but God saw fit to
take her with Him, and the heart-brok
en parents have tha assurance that
she is “safe in the arms of Jesus.”
Particularly sad, too, is the fact that
another little daughter, Genevieve,
is critically ill still. Dr. and Mrs.
Duke have the deepest sympathy of
many friends.
The Junior Red Cross has been or
ganised, Mite Virginia Durant elected
leader and Mr. J. E. Johnston, treas

WHAT WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS REALLY ARE
Complete Explanation of Baby Bonds
and What it Means to Buy Them.
Thrift stamps sell for 25 cents each.
Sixteen of them, pasted' on a card
which will be furnished free, can be
converted into interest bearing war
savings stamps, simply by paying the
few cents differeence between the val
ue of the 16 stamps and the current
cost of the war savings stamps. (This
difference would be 7 cents in June,
and 1 cent additional for each later
month.)
War savings stamps can be bought
in June for $4.17, and the cost will in
crease one cent each laterNnonth thay
are bought. In July, the cost will be
$4.18. On January l, 1923, the gov
ernment will redeem every war sav
ings st^mp you have for $5, which is
the original price plus interest at 4
per cent, compounded quarterly. These
sumps are pasted on certificates fur
nished free and they may he rsgta-
tetud. They are as sals aa tha Uat|ed

Views Were Conflicting as to Chief
Issue of the Campaign. >
The campaign for governor and oth
er SUte offices opened here Tuesday
with temperate speeches and little en
thusiasm shown by the audience of

patriotic and breathed cooperation
with President Wilson and his admin
istration in the prosecution of the
war.
John G. Richards and John L. Mc-
Laurin, candidates for Governor,
claimed that the war is not the viUl
issue of the campaign, while the other
five opponents, Robert A. Cooper, An
drew J. Bethea, John Madison Des-
Champs, Thos. H. Reeples and John T.
Duncan admitting ether issues of mo
ment, contended that the war against
miliUriam Is of paramount impor
tance
