Personal News Items
The largest crowd that has ever been
seen in Central high school building
was there last Friday night at the Mock
Wedding.
Rev. J. C. Bailey filed his regular
appointment here last Sunday at the
Presbyterian church.
Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Hall are visiting
their parents here, Mr. and Mrs. J. S.
Hall.

now, so if you want to get in the swim
now is the time.
The Central boys would go wild over Ed
Young if he could play "girl" all the
time as he did last Friday night at the
Mpek Wedding.
J. L. Carson is just completing a
large warehouse here, which he will use
in connection with his lumber yard for
storing shingles, lumber, etc.
Marvin Lawrence, who is stationed at
Camp Jackson, is visiting triends and
relatives here.

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. Taft are true: "Americans sur
render to Americans, but to other na
tions they never surrender."

THE SPRING DRIVE IS ON!
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.

Twenty-seven chapters of excit

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.

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.
