BARNWELL, 8. C.
LIBERTY BONDS
WILL BE PAID
MELLON CALLS SECOND LOAN
PAYMENT.
Steps Taken to Inform All Holders.—
Will Use Radio for This Purpose
e
for First Time.
Washington, D. C., May 0.—Secre
tary Meflboti has called Idr payment on
Novemiber 15, 1927, all outstanding
Second Lfcerty Loan bonds. Interest
on these bonds will cease on Novem
ber 15, 1927. Approximately $1,700,
000,000 of these bonds are now out
standing. 1 - _
, While the bonds will be paid on
November 15, 1927, it is quite proba
ble that during tlie next six months
the Treasury will extend to the
holders of the Second Liberty Loan
bonds an opportunity to exchange
them for other Government securities!
No announcement has as yet been
made as to the type of security to be
offered in exchange, or the. date on
which the exchange oflfcft may be
expected. The Treasury explains
that the terms of the bonds require
that a notice be given to the public
six months in advance of the redemp
tion date. The Secretary’s announce
ment, therefore, does not mean that
the bonds will be paid at the present
time, but merely places the holders
on notice that their bonds will be re
deemed on November 15, and will
cease to bear interest on that date.
If holders of Second Libertie* de
sire to have their bonds redeemed,
they should present them for pay
ment on November 15, 1927, but if
they desire other Government obliga
tions in place of their Seconds, they
should watch for further announce
ment and notify their bank to keep
them informed of any exchange offer
ing that may he mode by the Treas
ury.
In 1917 and 1918, it will he recall,
ed. when the Government was selling
bonds of the several Liberty Loans,
a nation-wide campaign was conduct
ed, every available facility being used
to reach the public and »ell . the
bonds. The situation is now practi
cally reversed, and the Government is
preparing to redeem or exchange
some of these bonds. While no such
elaborate canvass is contemplated
for the redemption notice as was
undertaken in 1917, the. Treasury
nevertheless i* making a special ef
fort to inform the holders of Second
Liberty Loan bonds that their bonds
will cease to bear interest on Novem
ber 15, 1927. Banks and trust com
panies throughout the country will
be asked to cooperate with the Gov
ernment in spreading the new’s of
this call for redemption, and in ad
vising the holders of bonds that
the Treasury will probably offer new
securities in exchange. For the first
time the radio will be used by the
Government as a means of reaching
millions cf bondholders. An announ
cement will shortly be broadcast from
the larger radio stations of the
country.
The importance of acquainting
bondholders with the fact thvt their
bonds have been called for pay
ment is emphasized by the Treasury’s
records of previous calls for re
demption or exchange. These records
show that there are still outstanding
at the present time, in the hands of
the public, about $30,000,000 in Gov
ernment securities upon which inter
est has ceased. Included in this
amount are $3,600,000 in Victory
notes which ceased to bear interest in
1922 and 1923. There are also out
standing $14,500,00 in temporary
bonds of the several Liberty Loans,
to which were attached only a limited
number of interest coupons matured
seme seven years ago. The holders
of these temporary bonds have neg
lected to exchange them for perman
ent bonds having the full of interest
'Coupons attached, and until such ex-
change is made they have no means
'«f collecting the interest. In the face
of these facts, the Treasury is espec
ially anxious that the present an
nouncement reach as many Second
Liberty Loan bondholder* as it is
possible to reach through the press,
tile radio, and ‘ the banks of the
country. 'x
The Second Liberty Loan, which
was issued in November, 1917, was
the second large loan floated by the
QgWttnment during the World War,
and while this loan does not mature
until 1942, the condition of thfe money
market and of the Government’s fi
nances makes k possible and advisa
ble to call the bonds for redemption
in November, 1927.. ,

OLD DOWER HOUSE .
HAS REAL CHARM
Hand bo me Colonial Hama
of tht Lordt Baltimore.
Relic of the early days of American
colonization and reflecting the archi
tectural types of the pre-Revolutlon-
ary period, “Dower house.’’ the colo
nial home of the Lords Baltimore, one;
time great land owners' and lords of
what Is nrfw Maryland, la one of the
few remaining historical old manor
booses of . that Intensively Interesting
period. In stands beside the road to
Rosaryvllle, some 25 miles from the
national capital, and Is owned by
Percy Duval.
The bunting lodge, the first unit of
the rambling old homestead, was built
by the second Lord Baltimore In 1643
from plans made by Sir Christopher
Wren of London, when he was but a
fledgeling architect dreaming of the
fame which ultimately he won. In Its
construction was used a peculiarly
tinted blue brick Imported from Hol
land, of which these seem to be* the
only remaining examples In use. In
general effect the type was Dutch co
lonial, as It Is known today, but unique
In that It was composed of three sec
tions.
Virtually all of the lower floor of
the center pectIon was taken up by
the dining and lounging rooms, the
latter being a sort of combined lounge
and library. A feature of the dining
room was the huge fireplace, six by
eight feet, in which it was customaiy
not Infrequently to barbecue an entire
deer. The section at the right, with
the porch, comprised a kitchen below
with sleeping rooms on the upper floor.
At the other end was the parlor on
the lower floor with Lord and Lady
Baltimore’s sleeping rooms above.
Sleeping rooms also occupied the up
per floor of the’main tfWhthT section.
Through the period of settlement In
the Maryland and Virginia territories
the second and third Lords Baltimore
lived In the original hunting lodge
without adding to It In any substan
tial way. Mostly they were engaged
with the affairs of their extensive
landed Interests, the troublous periods
•f the several Indian outbreaks and
their surly colonial responsibilities of
government. The later additions were
made by tbs fourth Lord Baltimore In
1689 and completed by Lard Balti-
Bioa V J# .ITW. Tbe great win* which
liTYhe later years became the manor
house proper and the scene of many
brilliant social events was built of na
tive brick In the type that later be
came the accepted standard of the
South.
,Thie portion of the building was
later covered with a coating of ce
ment, after the Spanish fashion,' In
that day » decided innovation for
that region and very striking In ef
fect.' With Its sturdy brick columns
supporting the second story porch It
was one of the early examples In that
particular section of the southern co
lonial type of architecture which was
later to come Into such popular favor.
Thereafter the old hunting lodge un
derwent some considerable revision.
The dining and lounging rooms were
converted into one large dining room,
more efficiently to meet the Increasing
demands of the times. Tbe littfe liv
ing room at the end became a library.
But sentiment still retained the mas
ter’s quarters on the second floor.
Elaborate landscaping eventually
addtod greatly to the attractiveness of
the old homestead. Two row* of tall,
stately >ceew flanked the approach
across the terraced lawn from the
roadway to tbe main entrance of the
mansion. Gossfa left their carriages
at the gateway, which was In the
midst of a widely spreading bed of
lilies of the valley. Evergreen hedges,
the boxwood for some of which had
come from Mount Vernon, sktyted the
grounds. In season flowers added
flashes of brilliant coloring evaiy-
where. It was perhaps the ontstand.
Ing manor house of Its day.
Washington supplied from Mount
Vernon the cuttings for the Ivy growth
which still clambers over the walls of
the old house. Major L’F.nfant, who
laid out the national capital, directed
the later landscaping changes. The
“Dower house’’ was In high favor.
Something of Its ancient charm still
clings about those rooms In which the
furnishings, draperies, antique furni
ture and old paintings still remain, vir
tually undisturbed In more than a cen
tury. In these rooms Ilttl*. If any
thing. has been changed. The walls
are streaked with the stains of time;
the plastering Is discolored and
cracked and disintegrating; In some
places It has fallen away completely
from the ceiling. But one sees non#
of this. Only the picture of what it
was a century ago. ,
Got Under His Skin.
Doc Henneberry found precisely the
quotation he needed the other day at
precisely the time he needed It He
was arguing with the young doctor he
has taken Into his office, and who has
set Old Doc’s teeth on edge by refus
ing to obey the conventions that seem
so necessary to the older man.
“Yours,” said Doc heavily, “‘la a
perverse and forward generation.’”
“Who made us that way?” asked the
younger man. “What we are, you
elders made us. It Is absurd to sup
pose that the babies born into this
world between certain early Twentieth
century dates should have been pre-
natally disposed toward evil. If we
do not believe what you believed
when you were young it Is because you
elders have destroyed the foundations
of belief. If we misbelieve it Is be
cause we see you misbelieving. If we
are shameless about our. misbehavior
It Is because we see you doin^the
same things and lying about them.
“Do not blame us. It may be that
we are misapplying our knowledge.
But at least we got the knowledge
from you.”
Poor Old Doc Henneberry. jraa_al*.
lent" It seemed to me that I could
see into his mind, and watch with
him the review of the "years. Of his
swaggering self when he first came to
town, as a young doctor, a professed
atheist, a humorist fresh from the dis
secting room, who made the Bibik his
target, a loud, noisy, voluble, well-in
formed follower of all tha Vays of
tbe flesh. As. he grew older he mel
lowed. He bad stood by too many
deathbeds to dare deny tha existence
of a God. He found he most obey
the conventions which today's Young
Doc la defying, If for no other reason
than that tha old rules work.
*1 wonder,’* said Old Doc,, heavily,

The fight for business leadership is no
monkey business in this day and age, as is
evidenced by the latest report from commer
cial centers — and which has to do directly^
with the future of towns exactly the size of
BARNWELL. . X
It has been learned that the bi^ mail*
order houses now maintain a department,
the duty of whos£ staff is to read weekly
newspapers from all Over the country ai
continually make a survey of the different
districts to learn of mail-order selling possi
bilities.
And, it is a fact—that immediately that
department finds a town or country wherein
the local merchants are not using the local
paper to advertise their merchandise to the
trade—that district is immediately flooded
with catalogues—because it is virgin terri
tory and the mail-order houses have learned
that they can do GOOD business there.
We pass this information along to busi
ness leaders of BARNWELL and assure
them that all of our support is of course with
them. We maintain a local advertising
service which can be used to advantage --
and for such service We make no extra
charge. Come in or ’phone and we will call.;
Business goes to those Who go after it.
