Women and the Lib erty Loan Campaign Now that the Third Liberty Loan is over and Pickens county far over subscribed her quota, I wish to express heartfelt gratitude for the efficient help the women of Pickens county gave so willingly. This work is new to so many of us, but I feel sure that we were only strengthening ourselves to do greater things in the future. The results can not be shown by figures alone, for in many cases we aroused patriotism, in formed the people along certain lines of duty, etc. The committee in Central4with Mrs. T. M. Norris as chairman, did remark able work, over-subscribing their quota by several thousand dollars. At Dacusville, under the leadership of Miss Eva Holcombe, the results were most gratifying. Oolenoy, with a capable and faithful chairman, Mrs. A. M. Sutherland, made a good report. Miss Clarice Keith, chairman at Pick ens Mill, never tired in her efforts to swell the Liberty Bond fund, and of course made a splendid record. Cateechee, with Mrs. Furman Norris as chairman, made a good report. Misses Elizabeth 'Mauldin and Edna Earle, our county demonstrators, ren dered valuable assistance. The women of Pickens county are fast becoming awakened to their du ties, and I feel sure that in the future we will do even better work. MRs. J. P. CAREY, JR. W. E. Mays. O. B. Landraeth. A. S.

Clayton Re signs to Enter Army It will be of interest to people in ev ery section of Pickens county to learn that Superintendent of Education F. Van Clayton has resigned in order that he may enlist in either the U. S. army or navy and fight for his country.. He has offered his resignation to the gov ernor to take effect May 31 and he ex pects immediately thereafter to enter the service. Prof. Clayton was placed by the ex emption board in Class 3D and there was little chance of him being drafted, at least soon; but he volunteers from purely patriotic motives. He has rec ommended that former superintendent R. T. Hallum be appointed to fill out his unexpired term. The following letters explain them selves: The Honorable Richard I. Manning, Governor of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir: I hereby tender my resignation as Superintendent of Education of Pickens county, to take effect the 31st day of May, 1918, in order to go Into active military service. I realize the vast importance of car rying on the educational work of our state during these perilous times, yet I feel that a competent man can be se cured to fill my place, who as yet, should not consider military service. 1 feel it my duty to go, and to retrain would, in my own mind, brand me as a man not worthy to be protected by the govern ment under which I am living. In resigning my office 1 trust that the man who takes my place will feel the fire of inspiration for the schools of Pickens county, as I was made to feel for my country, when an acquaintance of mine told his son on leaving for the army to "ever keep in mind the right eousness of the cause for which you are fighting; remember that you are a man; go over the top and give them H -1.'" Yours very truly, F. V. Clayton. State Board of Education; Columbia, S C. Gentlemen: In view of the fact that I have re signed my office of Superintendent of Education of Pickens county in order to go into active military service, 1 hereby recommend to your honorable body Mr. R. T. Hallum, of Pickens, S. C., to fill my unexpired term of office. My reasons for recommending Mr. Hallum are as follows: 1. To appoint a man that is not ac quainted with the work, would possibly retard the educational work in the county for a considerable length of time. As Mr. Hallum is thoroughly aC~liainted with the work, he can step right in and carry it forward without having to learn. 2. In the campaign of two years ago, Mr. Hallum received the next highest number of votes, showing that he is the people's next choice. 3. In recommending Mr. Hallum I feel that I sin recommending one who is conscientious in his work; one who is at all times on the square in his deal ings; and above all I feel that he is tru ly a nman. If you, after carefully considering this recommendation, can appoint Mr. Ilallum, I am frank to say that I- be lieve you will make no mistake, and that it will he appreciated by myself, Mr. Hallum, and the people of Pickens county. Yours very truly F. V. Clayton. Mr Theodore Smith Dead After declining health for several years, J. Theodore Smith died at his home at Easley Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
