MS I4ttAe SuIo ' iU H CAROLNAS IMMENSE TASK. South Carolina has at last reached the million dollar mark in the sales of War Savings Stamps. This figure was reached about May 1. It marks an important stage of the War Savings campaign in this state, and the 'South Carolina War Savings Committee feels that now is the time when the people of this state should become deeply impressed with the magnitude of the War Savings problem that confronts South Carolina. In the Third Liberty Loan, South Carolina's quota was nearly $15,000,000, of the national quota of three billions of dollars. IN THE WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN THE NATIONAL QUOTA IS TWO BIL LION DOLLARS, AND YET THIS STATE MUST RAISE $32,000,000 twice the amount allotted in the Liberty Loan. The Liberty Loan quota was based on the state's bank resources; the War Savings quota Is based on the population, and during the year an average of $20 for each indi vidual is expected to be invested in War Savings Stamps. When it is realized that no one individual can invest in over $1,000 worth, the magni tude of the campaign becomes evident. For the state to succeed, it means that practically every man, woman, and child must save during the year, and lend the savings to the Government. F1our months have passed and South Carolina has purchased only one million dollars' worth of the stamps-only one thirty-second of the state's quota. Unless South ('arolina purchases an average of four ml lion dollars' worth momlily during tho remaining months of the year, the c:tmpaign will fail--anl Soul Ii (arolina will be branded as a slacker state. South Caiolina, which has freely given its men, will be known as a state which failed to lend money at good interest to hack up those fighting men, who are leaving for the hattle front with the confident assurance that the home people will stand by them. Lot us savo for them, so that their confidence will be justified. We know that the people of this state can save thirty-two million dollars and lend it to the Government. We know they want to. We bolievo they will-but not unless every man, woman, and child saves regularly, often, and conscientiously, and invests the money saved in War Savings Stamps, which hear interest at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, compounded quarterly. Our people must practice thrift-must dispense with the lavish purchase of non-essentials and lend the money instead to the government. That means saving for victory, for humanity, for every thing that we hold (lear. Signs are encouraging. The first million dollars' worth of stamps have been sold, half of which were sold within the last six weeks. Dur ing the past two months the weekly sales have been increasing substan tially, and this increase must continue. Those who have not started sav ing in this way should start without delay, while others should add con stantly to their war savings certificates. The Government of the United States relies on the War Savings movement as one of the most powerful weapons It can wield against Germany, and South Carolina must help build the weapon. You are not asked to GIVE-merely to LEND--lend at liberal interest and on the strongest security the world knows. Don't let South Carolina bo known as a slacker state. Buy, Think, and Talk Var Savings Stamps-invest in them to the limit of your resources, It is a duty that only slackers will evade. Since as little as 25c can start a person buying war Savings Stamps, there can be no excuse for any loyal American not investing. Save-save for victory, for 1 $ G$$11ig America, for South Carolina, for yourself, UMtW mTA>h for all that free people hold dear. 09.t1Kk(MENT Our Optician Coming ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS R EAC H LARGE TOTAL (Our opiti .ian wiill im with u- Monday, ar7th tne day only. 1l l,i sle- A general idea of the quantity of ial reremtat ilye of Br.wn Sioanp food sent to European allies by the :ilrje-nttieo ~.viSon~ United States from July 1, 1914, to ieal Co.. ;I re:enville, :, (;. lie i Tanuary 1, 1918, Is given by figures SpeIrt . a -ch i ". andi ri ''ersnaill just nnounced by the U.
