A;.I AIr ILX - *L-M[ - - S - - - VOLUME XXXIl. LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, t917.NUBR4 WHOLE STATE LIBERTY P "BUY A BOND FOR BAB'h' GOVERNOR MANNING I BANKS LENI coltumbia, S. C.-Special.-One of c the greatest exlbitionto of applied pa triotisni which this state has witiss- C ed in mnly years is now being dis- i played inl the -grea-t drive for the sale i of $8,5000.0t0 of the Libet ty Loan s bonds. Pecople from every walk of a life, capitalists, baikers. nerchants I and far-mers are subscribing to the is- I sue whici is to iifinanace the war for t liberty which the Uinited State is now wagilng. F All buntks have opened their doors I to applications for the bond-i; so that< any person who desires the boulld has , only to go to any bank in his town where his application will be immedl- I ately entered. The Ameri-an people, I and especially the farmers and mer chants of the South, have not been a bond investing people to any extent; but tinder tho drive of patriotic ent hu siasm. they have rallied to the Iiherty Loan idea by the hundreds of thicons ands; and small wago earne.: every where hiave rcs ponded with every manifestation of eagerness. This has exteided to the utmiOt farm districts of the state. LIocal committees have been organized in every c'ommunnity; men in autoimo biles have volunteered to see every farmer of any iea ins in the entire farming districts and these bave beeni followed ij by salesnien of various kinds who htave gone so far as to pro duce the application blank and secure the farmer's signature. The "luy a Bond for Baby" slogan has become popular in thotisands of homes. Governor Manning himself showed the way by subscribing for -jventy bonds, one each for himself, \4is wife, a daughter, seven sons and ten grandchildren. Following his lead, parents in every direction have in vested in the bonds for their chil dren to serve as a tfoundation for A say ingo fund for the little tots, to be added to in years to come. Practically all the big corporations of the state have arranged plans whereby their employees could secure the bonds by having small sums de ducted weekty fron their pay enve lopes. Many mrchants in the larger towns have establIshced booths in their stores at which applications blanks could be signed and information se cured. Most bants have worked ont plans where by tho honds could be bought on tlie installment plai. One of the greatest contributions to the camcpiaigi which has yet. been insttituted has been the action of the insurance ncect of t ;tite. hoth life O ad fire. and the coiineral travel iv TiVIiii: UNiON!S I tuler. ,~ ew M::ord 'd :1.

The camnliai:n has also had and is ;ill havi'ig the utmo9t co-operition of the wons's clius of thie siate. 'he ilierous orgaid.alions have cont ribi eld their time1 and efforts without stint: anOd women and girls have beeni ronplieuous in all the movements in 1half of ti ho bonds. i.:specially on June 5 was this true, at the time when all Ihose around the regis1tra Ion places were given hond litera tWre by prettily dressed girls. Although June 5th was officially des ignated as LAberty Bond lDay, on which there should be 'definite efforts to secure a subscription from every man in the state, the campaign is by no means over. It will not end untit June 15, the day upon which sub scriptions cease. There will. there fore, be no diminut-ion of effort on the part of the numerous committees who have the promotion of the sales in charge. It is earnestly desired by the government and by the Liberty Loan Central Committee 'or South Caro lina that the allottment of $8.500,000 which has been assigned to this state be several times oversubscribed. Tlw effect of having this bond issue over su-hseribed will have the same moral effect upon tie enemy as a great de feat; and this is what is trying to be secured. Liberty Bonds are Ithe st.rongest security that. any man may own. They have the backing of the greatest goy ernment on earth. tWhey are absolutely secure, and the monny thus derived is to be utsed in fighting the battles of thd govornenit.
