They i Ut/lieve 111 guuu 11 CO OV/UUVIO. buuu highways, pensions for Confederate veterans, etc., etc., and then go on i to rave about high taxation, useless offices, extravagant appropriations,; and we must practice rigid economy if the State is not soon to be bankrupt. Is all this "hot air"?simply; an effort to fool the people and catch j votes or are they really and truly in fafor of reducing taxes? If they are, j why in the name of common sense? and^the commonest kind at that?I don't they say what offices they are ' going to abolish, how they propose to reduce taxes?in short where the economy in government is going to be practiced? These "glittering generalities" don't get us anywhere. It's easy enough to rant about high taxes; and extravagance in general terms, j hut we hardly imagine this sort of j rot will fool the people. Let's get I down to cases. Every man of ordinary intelligence ! in South Carolina knows or ought to know that there is not a college in ! the State supported by public funds i but what could use more money than It is now receiving, no public school i has more money than it ought to | have, that pensions for Confederate | veterans /are woefully inadequate, i that salaries of all State officers and practically all county officers are pitiful when compared with the high cost of living, that no public institution is receiving more money than it needs, and if there is any man in the State who is drawing a salary for doing nothing we have not heard of it. The people realize that it costs / money 10 support iree scnoois, maintain colleges, build highways, etc., and the politician who thinks to bainboozle them this year with a howl about high taxes will have to show them just how and what he proposes to reduce. What they will demand is facts and figures. ^ < > ^ It is of interest to note that the Southern General Methodist conference. in session in Atlanta, h^s re scinded the rule forbidding a Methodist pastor to serve one charge more i Peoples % | I ved More Indivii ONLY BANK IN Hotted $19,000.00 Begin saving now so a about three months of: man woman and child / nbow, President than four years in succession. This 1 change has been advocated by many| leading Methodists for many years, j inasmuch as it will allow Methodist! pastors to accomplish work which; otherwise it is often impossible fori them to complete. m >oi ? It is gratifying to note that Bjam-! berg countf has taken a proper rtoace i in the standing of the counties of the \ State in war stamp sales. Now, let; us keep the place. The county isj called upon to buy $370,000 worth of war stamps this year. We have; already bought something over $10,-! 000?which is hardly a beginning, j Of course the campaign has not really j gotten warmed up yet; but it i^ safej to say that we must do some stirring. if we are to meet our quota. The! county needs some limit members.! Who will be the first to buy $1,000; worth of stamps in Bamberg county? j i Now that the liberty bond cam-, paign has been brought to a sue-! cessful end, the drive for the $100,-.; 000,000 Red Cross war fund Is to be j inaugurated on the 20th of this! month. Plans are being arranged by j the chairman of the campaign fori this county, J. F. Carter, Esq., and a | campaign will be launched for the raising of this county's quota. It is! to be hoped that the county will respond as liberally to this call as* to the call for subscriptions to liberty bonds, for it is equally as important*.j The Red Cross must be taken care i of. The care of our boys when j wounded and sick is, of course, im-1 perative, and it is the plan of the j government that this work be taken | care of by popular subscription. In | this way the spirit of the people will j | be behind the Red Cross. The gov-! ! ernment could pay the bill, of course, j 1 T J. .1 1.

An average of one j dollar for every resident in the coun-; | try would raise the funds needed at j 1 present. What the government \ i needs is the backing of 100,000,000 i I people. With that backing, nothing : need be feared. ?Miss Leone Bamberg, of Walter-! ! boro, spent Sunday in the city with i ; relatives. | ' ?Miss Rebecca Graham, of Lander ; college, Greenwood, is spending a j few days at home.
