Bamberg Co. Libei Buy a Bo Believeing that the people of Bamberg county are loyal to their country, but feeling that they have not been fully awakened to the serious situation which confronts their government, both at home and abroad,' the members of the Third Liberty Loan Committee of Bamberg county I have made arrangements for Patriotic. Rallies in each town of the conn- i ? ? *" tKo nonnlp nf ly, SO its to auuiu bnv ?- j each community an opportunity to j inform themselves of the dangers that menace them and their homes. To fail to take advantage of these opportunities will be criminal neglence on the part of the citizens of Bamberg county. Each of these meetings will be held in the open. Every one is invited and urged to attend. Men and women are expected to avail themselves of this chance to hear stirring addresses. The presence of the col' ored people is desired. The times c - 4 " and places of the meetings aro as ^ follows: Bamberg?R. Beverly Herbert, Esqf> of Columbia. S. C.. and Mr. Hugh R.

The citizens of Bamberg County : /' . ' are particularly fortunate in securing the services of these speakers. They are all busy rfien; men whose time is valuable; men who have dopie things, patriotic men, who are giv?-V ing us'of their time and energy and fe y thought that we may the better participate in the defense of our country f at this perilous time. These men ,v. come to the citizens of Bamberg . county, at the invitation of the Third , Liberty Loan Committee, without compensation, feeling that they are amply rewarded, if by their efforts they inspire us with patriotic zeal, . and awaken us to a full sense of our personal and individual responsibility in the prosecution of the war to - victory. y The German spy is abroad in the land; the pro-German, with his seditious and anti-American conversation, is in our midst. The lives of ~ our wives and children are endangered by the assassins (too much of ife a <?ward to appear upon the battle line as an enemy) who attempts to , hill , with ground glass and poison. The military and food supplies of our GSw-* In TTVoupo anH in Amprioa are -destroyed by German sympathizers, p.. . , And still there are citizens of Bam, berg.county who say that they will pv ( fight the German army if it attacks gfer American citizens at home; there are some men in our county who say f;.' that if our frontiers are attacked they'' will take up arms and fight. There was a time not very distant vhen the United States was bounded on the East by the Atlantic ocean, ? : v but this is no^longer true, for the i./' Eastern boundary .of America today is the battle line in France. Not W~:f. many of our men are holding that linS. Our Eastern frontier is held by the gallant men of France and by that bull dog of war, the English army. To these men who have statSpi;-'' * ed they would fight when America : was attacked may be pointed out that such a condition exists; and now is the time,"here is the place, are 111 > they the men? ' Let us not engage in idle talk; the time is past wrhen it might have been pr< profitable to discuss our entrance into this war. We are at war now. Not a morning breaks but that there falls upon the ears of some one whom v.- j you know the awakening call of the bugle, over in France. Not a day C Use ' , A, 4 j,'- passes OUl mat suuie auicutau io called upon to face German bullets. And more than one of our men has given his life in our defense. The J- Hun's barrage thunders at our gates. And yet some would further talk of why we are at war. We are at war . that we may have peace; we are at war that we may be free men, ana v not slaves; we are at war that the & whole world may be made safe for democracy and that we may escape being made Prussian vassals. Our soldiers will do their part: will we do ours? Our men are giving their lives, will we support them? The time may may not be very far distant when some of us will be called to the front lines of battle, and may * we respond with willing hearts and ready bands; but until we are called upon to go to the front our duty demands that we go to the front of the rear, there to take our places |:; with other loyal Americans in putting down sedition at home, and putting up a fight with the means at hand?our time and our money. Every family in Bamberg county should place at the disposal of the government some portion of their monev. Those who cannot afford to lend the government as much as fiftr - dollars by the purchase of a Liberty pTr ' . . K& ; ; ' rg rty Loan Campaign nd Today | Bond should buy war savings stamps, which may be purchased in any amounts from twenty-five cents upI ward. On both of these securities the government pays interest. The J security is the best in the world, ! nothing excepted. The cause in which the money i will be used is for your own pro! tection. The ship which your money I will help to buy will carry food and I clothing to that boy of yours, or to that brother, over in France. \ our money will secure trench^boots made of rubber, so that your neighbor's boy will not have to stand guard and perhaps give battle in the dead of winter, as he stands in water, coated with ice, up to his waist. The enemy aviator as he soars over our I trenches unmolested at present, securing information for the use of j German batteries, will presently be driven from this profitable (to the enemy) employment, if you supply the money to help build airships for our men. That boy who lives in our county, who many of you know and love, why don't you let the government use some of your money with which to buy for him a steel helmit, so that when the' shells burst near him his poor brains will not be scattered over the mud of the battle field? That crowd of Boys from Bamberg county who will soon sail for France to take their places near the battle lines for further training? why don't you gladly give the government the money with which to buy them gas masks, so that when the shells, filled with deadly gasses, burst near where they are ouarterd, they will not suffer agony and a slow death, which you may have helped to prevent? Your duty is plain. Will you do it? Any bank in the county will sell you a Liberty Bond; if you cannot purchase a bond, any bank or postmaster, and many of the stores, will supply you with saving stamps. You do not pay down the entire amount you subscribe for Liberty Bonds, unless you so desire. You may pay for your bonds .in installments. You make payments through your own bank. The first payment will be made when you subscribe. Five per cent, of the amount you take. Only $2.50 to be paid down on a $50.00 bond. The balance would be paid as follows: Twenty per cent. May 23th, thirty-five per cent. July 18th, and forty per cent. August 15th. "These payments are easy, and if you found that you did not have the funds with which to make the deferred payments your bank will lend you the money, take your bond as security, and assist you to carry the bond until your money was received In the fall. We ' do not know yet exactly the amount 1 that Bamberg county is expected to take in bonds. But we do know that the county fell short over one hundred thousand dollars of subscribing I her quota in the previous bond issue. , Only one per cent, of the people subserihed Whern was the other ninetv nine per cent? The day is fast 1 approaching, if it has not already arrived, when the family whose head j does not make known his patriotism i by word or deed will be called a slacker. Your neighbors will wonder what is wrong that you are unj willing to put your money at the disposal of the government, while 1 they have put their sons in the ! hands of their government; and it will be only a question of time when ' those who do not actively support the government, will be looked upon j with suspicion and they may be asked to move out, to make way for cutspoken, patriotic, honest American i citizens. When old clothes are a badge of honor, when indifference is shaken off. when we realize our individual ! and personal responsibility, when | we make the war our first and prin cipal business as patriotic men, then and not until then will our armies win the victory and our sons and brothers come home, and the mantle j of peace descend upon the world, j Signed: J.

March 30.?Fourteen j members of the State Council of De- j fense will be denied membership in that body unless they surrender j other State offices, if the opinion of j Claude N. Sapp, assistant attorney i general, obtains. Mr. Sapp holds that provisions of i the act creating the State Council of j Defense clearly define the council j members as State Officers. Member- i ship to 11 would thus be denied, in: that that number already hold State | offices. Women Already Working. The second loss is that women are j i ineligible to State offices and can j not, therefore be commissioned as j members of the State Council of De-J fense. .Mrs. F. Louise Mayes of j ureenvnie ana .\iiss uupnemia: McClintock, formerly president of! the College for Women, have been j members of the council since its or- j ganization early last year, long be-1 fore the act creating the council wasj passed. A third woman is Mrs. J. Otey Reed, of St. George, recommended by the delegation of Dorchester county to Governor Manning for appointment under the new act this week. ? Among the 11 men who would be | disqualified under the act, without i resigning State offces already held, | are David R. Coker, State chairman T j of.the Council of Defense, since its j organization, and John G. Richards of Liberty Hill, chairman of the State railroad commission. Others dis- j qualified and the offices held are: j Christie Benet, Columbia, board of j regents, State Hospital for the In-! sane; J. E. Sirrine, Greenville, board' of regents of the State Hospital for | the Insane; B. Hart Moss, Orange- j burg, chairman of the State insurance i commission: Dr. R. E.

The issue was raised when the governor Thursday afternoon added 19 new members to the council by the provisions of the act and upon recommendation by the various county delegations. With these appointed the question of commissioning a woman was presented. TEACJ^RRS' EXAMINATION.
