Several train loads of soldiers passed thru here last week. They had written on the side of the cars 'To Berlin or Bust, to Get Kaiser Bill.'' We could - see these words written on the faces of the soldiers also. If thousands of American soldiers make up their minds to go to Berlin, it's going to take some eftorts on the part of the Germans to Scheck them. V e have all confidence in our soldiers that they will be equal to uay task put on them. The '-ords of W, H.

South Carolina's Great Thrift Army Will Go Over the Top America's great thrift army has begun its Spring Drive. The south Carolina divison of savers is going "Over the top" with the rest of the country. The United States Treasury has already received slxty-five million dollars from the sale of these little thrift stamps. Sales are now running about two million dollars per day. This is equal to the entire cost of running the Government ten years. It is double the receipts of the Postoffice Department or of the Cue toms Service before the war. It is more than double the highest rate of growth evor reached by the savings banks in this country. The money now coming in from War Savings Stamps every day would pay for 10,000 tons of shipping. At this rate it would provide in a year for three million tons or more than half the program of the Shipping Board. This money is not given to the Government; it is merely a loan from the people which will be repaid with interest. Every time you buy a War Savings Stamp you lay up money for your self, you provide the Government with money to win the war, and best of all you release msterials and services which alone can make l)ossible the supply of necessities to the boys at the front. The War Savings Caippaign has Just begun. It is already doing so much, tl~ink what it will do when we really get behind it the way we will when we appreciate its importance. BUY MORE WAR SAVINGS AND THRIFT STAMPS-THEY WILL WIN THE WAR. "TIE GIFT TO GI' US." Governor Manning Gives Each of His Grandchildren a War Savings Stamp. Governor Richard I. Manning has purchased a War Savings Stamp for each of his ten grandchildren, and has thus enrolled them in the state's army of war savers. It has been often suggested that War Savings Stamps are the ideal war time present for children. Not only are they patriotic, but they last longer than most presents, and are perfectly acceptable, and increase in value constantly. During March the stamps will cost $4.14 each. W. S. S. HAVE YOU JOINED YET? Many Ailvantages in Store for Members of War Savings Societies. Among the numerous advantages of a joining a War Savings Society may be mentioned the following: It provides an opportunity for a discussion of the war, which is the chief business in which this country is now engaged. It furnishes an easy and eenvoaient method of buying War Savings stamps, and provides a medium through which the subject of thrift can be kept before the people over a long period of time. It introduces the habit of regular, systematic saving, and iakes every owner of a War Savings Stamp a stockholder in the United States of America, all interested alike in the welfare of the nation and its soldiers and sailors. Over the Top With the Best of Luck and Give Them Hell!" THE TOP BY i Serg't Arthur Guy Empey Serg't Empey's vivid and grip ping story of the great war will be printed in i installments in this paper. Twenty-seven chapters of excit ing adventures and heart-stirring action; events that befell this one man from the time he passed from civilian life to take his place in the human wall that stands between ]civilization and frightfullness. Serg't Empey is an American who enlisted in the British Army on hearing of the sinking of the "Lusitania." He writes in a straightforward way of his own experiences "over there," of the life in which our own American boys are entering. OVER THE TOP Will Be Printed Exclusively IN THIS NEWSPAPER Complete Distillery Destroyed What Ben LaBoon describes as the most complete illicit distillery he ever saw was found and destroyed by officers about three miles below Liberty last Friday. Dave Vaughn, said to be a de serter from the army at Camp Sevier, was arrested charged with being con nected with the still. The outfit was in a room dug out in the side of a hill and no trace of it was noticeable to a cas ual observer. In fact it was found by accident. One of the ollicers noticed a brush pile and began looking into it to see if any likker was hid there, and up on removing the brush discovered an opening which led into the room, where the complete outfit, a large amount of beer and three grallons of whiskey were discovered. The operators had also dug a well inside the room. The still was a a good copper one and it is thought had been in operation several months. An other still was captured in this county near Mayfield's bridge last week.

UNCLE OSCAR'S LETTER ONCE I wrote an article on love. Ai old married fellow said to me "Why do you want to spoil paper wit that sort of stuff?"
