Chairman Shaffer’s Appeal.
Clt'zens of GolHton Go>mty:
The extensive plans which I had-
made for the Liberty Loan whirl
wind campaign in- the county have
been canceled ofl account of the Or
ders from the (State Board of Health
forbidding afl public gatherings.
T had arranged for a series of
community meetings beginning on
Tuesday at Islandtnn and continu
ing two weeks, and also a grand
county meeting on the court hill for
Mhich occasion I had secured as
speakers gallant French and Anted!-
can oflleers who have Weif wounded
,in action and sent to this country/as
Instructor^.- Admiral Beatty had
kindly offered the 1 T . N. Marine
Banjfl ,frfr this mebtine
I received on Mondav a telegram
from State Chairman Robertson in
forming me of .the action of the
Board of Health in forbidding meet-
, ingg. I at once wired for an excep
tion in the case of the Islandton
meeting as there was no time to
notify the people of that section but
on Tuesday lust as I was paving I
received positive orders from Colum
' lAia that no meetings ott all couldX?
permitted.
But I say positively to all Grit the
bonds must be sold. Neither Span
ish Fin nor Hun peace Dirks must
wtand between-Colleton'county and
ber duty. y/ ' \
Our bora in the front line trench
es mean to flght/lt ouf to the bit
ter end. and we here, their home
army of sunport.. must prove worthy
' *tf them. I call upon the patriotic
men of every community; I call upon
'ha patriotic women of every com-
roopity to Mtlly under the leader-
''hairmeri who will lie the brave
leaders in this, the greatest battle
nml in what we all hope may !>♦* the
las* battle.
Do not let talk of .the war heina

that such tajk is a Hun trick gotten
up for the very purpose of defeating
