OCTOBER 24 LIBERTY DAY.
L'rges People to Pledge Fullest
Measure of Financial Support.
Washington, Oct. 14.?President
Wilson, in behalf of the liberty loan,
tonight issued a proclamation setting
aside October 24 as Liberty Day, and
urging the people of the nation to assemble
on that day in their respective
communities and "pledge to one
another and to the government that
represents them the fullest measure
ounnnrt "
Ui iiiiaixv.iu.1 ^fw
"Let the result be so impressive
and emphatic." the President urges,
"that it will echo throughout the empire
of our enemy as an index of
what America intends to do to bring
this war to a victorious conclusion."
l^esident's Proclamation
The President's proclamation follows:
"By the President of America.
"A proclamation.
"The second liberty loan gives the
people of the United States another
opportunity to lend their funds to
their government to sustain their
country at war. The might of the
United States is being mobilized and
organized to strike a mortal blow at
autocracy in defense of outraged
Amercan rights and of the cause of
liberty. Billions of dollars are required
to arm. and feed and clothe the
brave men who are going forth to
nn.mffc'c hnttlps. and to as
ilglll UUI lUUilVi j ^ _
sist the nations with whom we are
making common cause against a common
foe. To subscribe to the liberty
loan is to perform a performance of
patriotism.
Liberty Day October 24.
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States
of America, do appoint Wednesday,
the 24 th of October, as Liberty Day,
urge and advise the people to assemble
in their respective communities
to pledge to one another and .to
the government that represents them
the fullest measure of support. On
the afternoon of that day I request
that patriotic meetings be held in
every city, town and hamlet throughout
the land, under the general direction
of the Secretary of the treasury,
and the immediate direction of
the liberty loan committees which
have been organized by the federal
reserve banks. The people responded
notably to the call of the first
liberty loan with an oversubsription
of more than 50 per cent. Let the
^ response to the second loan be even
greater and let the amount be so
large that it will serve as an assurance
of unequalled support to hearten
the men who are to face the fire
of battle for us. Let the result be
so impressive and emphatic that it
will echo throughout the empire of
our enemy as an index of what America
intends to "do to bring this war
to a victorious conclusion.

POLICEMAN KILLS CORONER. j
J. A. Scott Loses Life at Hands of
J. W. Helms. . V
? . Columbia, Oct. 14.?Coroner Jack
A. Scott was shot and killed last
^night by Jesse W. Helms, a rural
policeman of Richlanr county. The
shooting occurred about midnight at,
Arthur Town a negro sttlement,
about four miles below the city. The
two men were friends and /left the
city Sunday afternoon for a trip down
the country. They were returning to
the eitv and became involved in a
difficulty which resulted in the death
of Scott. Helms notified the sheriff
immediately after the shooting and
Magistrate Griffith took charge of
the body. Helms used a 38 calibre
military r-.nd police revolver and the
six chambers were empty. A 32
calibre revolver laid by the side of
the dead man but no shot had been
fired. Coroner Scott leaves a wife
and six children.
Blissful Ignorance.
It was during the nerve-racking
% period of waiting for the signal to attack
that a seasoned old sergeant noticed
a young soldier fresh from home\
visibly affected by the nearness of the
coming fight. His face was pale, his
teeth chattering and his knees tried
to touch each other. It was sheer
nervousness, but'the sergeant thought
it was sheer funk.
"Tompkins," lie whispered, "is it
trembling you are for your dirty
skin?"
"No, sergeant," said he, making
a brave attempt to still his limbs.
"I'm trembling for the Germans: they
don't know I'm here."?London Opinion.

drove to town to have a notice of his

SECOND CALL IX DECEMBER?
War Department Discussing Advisability
of Ordering 2nd Increment.
Washington, Oct. 12.?Discussion
of the advisability of expediting the
call for the second increment of the
draft army is now in progress at the
War Department and it appears likely
that the date may be fixed for
some time in December or January.
Mobilization of the first increment
of GST,000 men is now far enough advanced
to show clearly that there
will be a big deficiency for the Seventeenth
national army division.
More than 250,000 of the first increment
are still to be assembled, but i
it already is evident that there will
be available at the sixteen cantonments
quarters for an additional
regiment at each post and at some
for a full brigade of two regiments,
Big Shortage Certain.
The strength of the new regimental
organization is o,600 men. With a
regiment lacking at each cantonment
this alone would mean a shortage
of nearly 50,000 men. In addi-1
tion there has been authorized a separate
division of negro troops, whichJ
means nearly 30,000 men withdrawn
from the original number assigned
to the sixteen cantonments.
The shortage is due partially tu
the necessity of taking out of national
army men to fill up National
Guard divisions.
Two complete national army divisions
of Southern troops have been
absorbed in this way. The remnants
of three other Southern national
army divisions will be consolidated to
form a single division unit and the
surplus men from other camps will
be sent South to make up the missing
divisions.
To Fill Up Gaps.
Drafts on the national army forces
also must be made to fill up the enlisted
personnel of the aviation service,
the medical corps and the service
battallions needed behind the
fighting lines abroad. Eventually
there will be 250,000 men in the last
named service alone and aviation and
the medical service will take nearly
as many more, though not all of
them will be taken from the national
army.
Operating to delay the calling out
of the second increment to make
good these shortages are several fae-.
tors. Clothing and equipment is
coming forward only at a rate that
can meet the demands of the forces
already called and the railways of
the country have been over burdened
with the job of moving the army
without hindering freight shipments
vital to the Allies.
Rests With Crowder.
Fixing the date of the call for the
second increment probably hinges
also upon the careful study being
made by Provost Marshal Gen.
I^rowder and his assistants of the results
of the plan followed in assembling
the men called first.

Dr. T. E. Cothram is a well-known
pharmacist of Alexis, Ala. And when
he gets bilious or needs a purgative
medicine, what do you suppose he
does? Out of his whole big stock of
liver medicine he selects and uses
Granger Liver Regulator. He says
"There is none better." That's a
pretty strong endorsement, don't you
think, from a man who_ knows all
about the merits of the dittercnt medicines
on the market? Granger Liver
Regulator is purely vegetable, does
not gripe nor irritate the delicate lining
of the stomach and bowels and
always gives quick and pleasant results.

CRYING FOR HELP

The kidneys often cry lor help.
Not another organ in the whole

The kidneys^are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the biood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there
is poisoned biood.
Backache is one of tne irequeni indications
of kidney trouble.
It is often the kidney's cry for
help. Heed it.

Mrs. S. M. Kinard. Broad St., Bamberg.
says: "I suffered from a severe
attack of backache and it caused
me much annoyance and pain through
my kidneys. I had headaches and i
often felt as if I were falling. Others
of the family had found Doan's Kidney
Pills beneficial so I began taking
them. One box brought the best of
results, removing all symptoms of
kidney trouble in a short time."

One of the latest to add his unqualified
endorsement to Martin's

Johnson, of Macon, Ga. In a letter
dated August 25, 1917, he says:
"It affords me pleasure to report
that I have taken Martin's Liver
Medicine and obtained most desirable
results. Martin's Liver Medi
cine is pleasant to tne taste, aocs
not gripe nor inconvenience the
taker in any way. It acts positively
and yet gently upon the liver and it
is my opinion that it is superior to
any liver medicine sold." v

vegetable in ingredients, contains
no poisonous calomel, is pleasant to
take and is sold with the standing
guarantee that if it does not give
the effect desired, the empty bottle
can be returned to the drug store
and the 50c paid for it will be refunded.
