Sanders, Jr., bond chairman for McCormick County* this week directed attention to the forthcoming Fifth War Loan Campaign, and in Columbia made a report on bond purchases i t South Carolina in the last six months, announcing that they had totalled mof-e than $155^900,- 000. Of this amount, the resi dents of this county have invert ed their full share. The exact time for the Fifth War Loan campaign is yet to be announced, but it will come early In the summer, Mr. Benefs letter to the county chairman said. In making public the fact that South* Carolina men, women, children and business concern* had purchased the big total ol $155,000,000 in bonds in the last six months, Mr. Benet said that “while bond-buying has been an other demonstration of patriotism and love of country, the economte potentialities in this great reserve of South Carolina money are s® large that , we cannot overlook them.” Then he added that this reserve may be of the greatest value the state in the period after the war, and said the lesson of thrift and saving that bond-buying has taught could have a lasting effec* on life in South Carolina. Mr. Benet pictured in his state ment a new development in South i Carolina. These large holdings in. bonds by so many people, he said, could, conceivably, build for the state in the future. “The people,” he said, “have had a great lesson in saving, a lesson such as they have never had before. This is bound to have lasting results, which will be good both for the holders of bonds and. for our state. Out of the owner ship of war bonds may come a new appreciation of property, a new emphasis on the idea of property ownership, but, more than that, out of owning, bond* should come a new industry on the part of many, of our people, a new incentive to work and save and build for themselves, and for their state.” In this statement on the eco nomic and social potentialities of this “new conservation of wealth," Mr. Benet also took into account that many more millions are yet to be invested. “We will add many millions in the Fifth War Loan campaign, and in the interim between now and then,” he said. As important as the economic aspect of the bond-buying situa tion seems to be, he closed ills statement by reminding all that the prime object in investing in bonds is to help the govern ment finance “and win this war."
