An Open Lett
People of S<
Ln April the country was
called upon to purchase Libarty
Bonds to the amount of
three billions of dollars. It
responded by purchasing four
billion dollars' worth. In May
it was called upon to contribute
$100,000,000 to the American
Red Cross. It responded
by contributing over $150,000,900.
And the best part of
those two responses was not
anerely the amount of money
raisea, dux ine paxnoue enthusiasm
manifested. It was
made plain that the American
nation is determined to
prosecute this war to a successful
cocclusioa at any
cost.
The hardest task is before
us in June. The government
is depending upon the sale of
two billion dollars worth of
War Savings Stamps during
this year, and of this amount
expects South Carolina to
purchase over $30,000,000
worth of these stamps?a
greater investment than we
were called upon to make in
. j the last two Liberty Loans
combined. The government
! has designated the month of
June as the period for securing
definite pledges for these
purchases during the balance
of the year, with a fair proportion
of actual purchases
during that month.
. We have been associating
the War Savings Stamp with
ohildren to such an extent
that we have lost sight of the
other purpose involved fci
this government issue, ?
namely, providing a form of
investment which is suitable
to the great mass of people,
who do not find it convenient
to visit banks to pay installments.
but who can see either
the postman every day or
else an agent for the sale of
W. S. S., and can secure from
him a War Savings Stamp,
which pays practically the
same interest as a Liberty
Bond.
As he continues to paste
his $5.00 stamps?which cost
him but slightly over $4.00?
oct his certificate, he has an
actual government bond of
the value of all the War Savings
Stamps there are on it.

er To The
>uth Carolina
One stamp would be a $5.09^
bond, for instance, and 20
stamps would be a $100 bond.
If you deposit in a savings
bank paying 4 per cent interest
quarterly, $4.17 in the
month of June, 1918, will increase
to $4.89 on January 1,
1923. A War Savings Stamp
bought to.- June for $4.17 will
be cashed tor $5.00 in the
same time. The value of a
War Savings Stamp does not
.fluctuate as is the case with
a bond, because the government
guarantees that a War
Savings Stamp increases one

oan be redeemed any time before
maturity.
From June 14 to June 28
we are calling for pledges
from the mass of people of
our state to the amount of
$20,000,000, these pledges to
be redeemed during the balance
of the year as may best
be suited to the subscribers.
South Carolina stands at the
foot of the list of states in
its per capita purchases of
War Savings Stamps. From
now until June 28, when the
intensive campaign will end,
let us see to it that we do
our part and take a more appropriate
place in the roll of
states?and thee wo can look
forward to a rest from campaigns
until November.
Let us not forget that the
Government is relying on the
country's purchase of two billions
of dollars' worth of W.
S. S. during this year as an
important part of ite revenue
to pay for what the boys need
on the other side. That
thought should stir us all to
instant action. Our soldiers
don't grumble or ask for rest.
If we supply them with all
that American genius and energy
can produce, victory will
be hastened and many lives
saved. How can we expect
to rest, how can we endure
the thought of resting when
there is something for us to
do, as long as our boys are in
the trenches enduring the torments
of hell, and giving
even their lives that we may
live here in safety and prosperity!
