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

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

. 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

| 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,

COUNCIL MAY LOSE MEMBERS. I
i
Sapp Defines ISody as State Officers, j
Tliree Women on List.
Columbia. 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. Hughes, Lau-j
rens, board of trustees of the South j
Carolina Medical College: N. G. j

er house of the general assembly:
Dr. W. M. Riggs, president of Clemson
College: Dr. James A. Hayne,

health: Dr? F. H. McLeod, Florence,
board of regents of the State Hospital
for the Insane, and Charles O.
Hearon, Spartanburg, member of the
State highway commission.
Ineligible Under Law.
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.
