the bmm<o which la being aent broadeaet
error the state by the Liberty
Loob Committee tor South Carolina, of
whloh Edwin W. Robertson. Is chairAlready
there hae been a wide reason
?e from many directions. Thousands
of people haue made application
through state and national banks
lor bonds in denominations ranging
from 150 to $1,000. But since the allotment
tor South Carolina Is $8,500, 00,
there are a great many more to
be deposed of before the state will j
hare done Its duty.
Central committees to promote the
male of the bonds have been appointed
in each county of the state. Men
everywhere are giving their time and
efforts toward .helping the govern- :
ment float this loan; knowing well |
that the fate of the country, and per-,
haps of the war, is resting upon this
bond issue. The banks have &I90 put I
their shoulders to the wheel. Practi- 1
eally every bank is in & position to
accept applications for bonds, and
very man who wishes to subscribe
has only to apply to his banker.
The appeal which the Liberty Loan
Is making to the farmers, merchants
and business men is not only patriotic;
though the committee feels that
I every man should want to support his
government to the extent of buying a
bond. It is also a business proposition;
and a Liberty bond is right now
one of the best and surest investments
that a man can make.
The government has got to buy oorn
and cotton in quantitlM never before
heard of. These supple* have got to
oome from the fields sad farms of
South Caroline along with the rest of
the country. Therefore, the money
that a fanner puts in the loan, comes
beck to him as actual cash in immense
purchases of the things which he
raises. In this way he not only gets
a 2 1-2 per cent return on his bonds,
but he also gets the actual money
back for the products of his farm.
Just as the banks make their money j

No matter bow this situation is

hard common sense, the move is a
good one.

"What does it matter whether this:
is a money making proposition or- not.!
Of count* it it; bat the thing that
nay man or woman wants to think
about in conn action with the loan is:
For what us? la the money to be applied.
If a man is filled with a realsiatlon
of what the war means, it will
not take him long to decide.
"Just one little glimpse of the last i
three years is sufficient. The viola-1
tion of Belgium, the sinking of the i
Lualtania, the abuse and slaughter ofj
millions of women and children in!
Belgium. France and Poland, and the
other savageries of the Germans!
should make a man go out of his way i
to subscribe for as many bonds as he i
could possibly stand.
"If it were a matter of war on our
own soil, with our own women and
children the subject of these cruelties,
we would not hesitate a moment And
from all I hear from Washington. It
will very probably be our women and
children unless the people of America
rally to this loan with every available
dollar."
The 5th day of June has been set
apart by the Liberty Loan Committee
for South Carolina on which to re
ceive subscriptions all over the state. I
On that day. it has been decreed by
the government that all men between
the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, shall
register; and it is desired that on the
same day, all other people, and all of
those that register as well, shall as
faithfully go to the banks and fill out
an application blank for every cent of
bonds that they can possibly stand.
"South Carolina has never been
backward in the cause of Liberty as
far br.ck as my history goes," said
J. Pcpe Matthews, of the etate committee
yesterday; "and I don't believe
for a moment that the people of
the xtmmonwealth will allow her to
take a back seat now. We have been
told by the Federal Reserve officials
that we are expected to subscribe to
eight and a half millions of the bonds.
This Is certainly no impossible task;
or at least will not be If the small
farmers of the country districts will
join with the clerks, stenographers,
and every class of wage earners in the
towns in taking fifty or a hundred dollars
on the fifth. Bat it has got to
be with the assietoooe of every elf

WAR MAY LAST '
FIVE YEARS.
<
PROVIDING FOOD FOR ALLIES WILL ,
MEAN SOME DEPRIVATION, (
DECLARES MR HOOVER. 1
In Washington last Friday, members
of the Cabinet and others actively
engaged in the conduct of the war
outlined war aims and needs to a
meeting of editors of the country's
technical and trade publication. All
emphasized the magnitude of the
task facing the nation,and urged the
publishers to support the government
in the change from peace to war
conditions in industry.
The Cabinet officers and representatives
of the Council of National Defense
told in detail of what the coun
cil is doing toward preparation. , I
The food situation was represented
by Herbert C Hoover,who will be appointed
food administrator. The ^
country, he said, faces a war that ^
probably will last from two to five ^
years and only by the most careful
measures can the United States give j
the Allies enough foodstuffs to bring ^
victory. j
"That means some deprivation for
us," said Mr Hoover, "but we must ^
fill their needs." j
Food prices in the United States 1
are too high,and if they continue at
the present level,wage readjustments
must come,or the working man cannot
live. The first thing for the food ^
administration to accomplish,Mr Hoover
added, is price stability,not only
for this country, but for the Allies; <
fixintr maximum prices had failed 1
abroad and would fail here, and the
administration must seek to repair
the broken chain of distribution.
Secretary Lane 9et forth the purposes
of the United States in entering
the war.
"We are fighting feudalism," he
declared. "The German ruler is willing
to go to any length to see a feudalists
system established. The power
that would do things that have
been done would, if England were
conquered, demand Canada and we
would live in haunting fear the rest
of our lives.
"Put it in your editorials that
America is fighting for something
real.fchat we do not want to go back
to where one man can enforce his
will on a hundred million people and
whore a man in khaki could be the
master of the fortunes of this country."
Secretary Baker declared the out- 1
come of^this war would show wheth- ,
er the world is really progressing. ]
" We are fighting,"hesaid, "against ]
an impossible philosophy which has 1
been founded on industrial ambition
and aspiration." ,
"Every resource of the Allies,"Mr j
Baker said, "was near exhaustion I
when the United States entered the I
war." There is no way to establish *
permanent peace,he declared.except
througkexercise of the superior power
of the United States. In mobilizing
every resource,he said,profound t
industrial changes were sure to come i
and the help of the publications was i
needed to prepare the people for the t
change. t
Secretary Daniels asked the editors 1
to "get it into the heart of business i
men that it is a crime to make more t
out of thejwar than a normal profit." r
The press,hejsaid.is responsible for
letting the people know everything t
_i i. /...m.nmuni onH tho anirif t

of the administration "is that com- j
ment and criticism are the very lift >
of a democracy." r
The purpose of the export limita- -1
tions and trading with the enemy bills j
were explained by Sec'y Redfield. i
The government'sattitued towards
labor was discussed by Secretary (
Wilson. No changes in wage stan- i
dards, he said, should be attempted i
without first giving the government i
a chance to mediate between toork- j
ers and employers. <
What the general munitions board 1
is doing was told by Frank Scott,its (
chairman. In the battle of Gettys- ;
burg, he said, the Union army in j
three days fired only 32,000 shells,
while today the same number of (
guns would fire that number of shells, i
in three minutes. ' ]

eral medical board, told of sending i

Bishopville, May 27:?The usual
juiet of the country Sabbath was

lopes are now entertained for the

WILL WEED OUT THE SPIES
tad Close All Channels of Military Information.
V
Admiral Sims' report from Lonlon
that Germany by some means
earned that the squadron of Araercan
destroyers was bound for European
waters at least four days before
it reached Queenstown has
itrengthened the government's de
;ermination to search out spies and
dose channels of information which
lpparently still exist between the
United States and Germany.
That the Queenstown harbor enhance
was strewn by submarines
pith mines intended for the Amercan
ships was considered by officials
is proof that the German information
concerning the departure and
iestinction of the boats was accurate.
The seriousness of the disclosure
was not greatly ameliorated by
the fact that the German plan was
iiscovered in time and the destroy?rs
saved.

An Enemy To Nut Grass.
Mr Albert A Hansen, an agent of

endeavoring to find some raehod
of destroying it. He was in con'erence
with Mr C F Niven,local agicultural
agent, during the day,and

Mr Hansen is hopeful that a cer,ain
kind of insect found in this coun:y
will be the answer to the nut grass
jroblem. Specimens of the insect
vere shipped to the Bureau of Etynology
at Washington for further
