Mr. Fops hopes that every member of his organization in putting over the liberty bond drives will serve in this campaign and do his best. His letter follows: Kingstree. S. C. April 7, 1919. Dear Sir:Our Liberty Loan Organization is again called upon to serve our Government in the approaching Victory Loan Drive scheduled for the latter part of the month and the first few days in May. This drive for Liberty Bonds will close our patriotic work as an integral part of the great war machinery of our country. Every former chairman, wffn his co-workej-s. is earnestly requested to fall in line as on other occasions on/t mppt. this duty cheerfully, for i this in fact is the "acid test" oi tne highest type of loyalty. The task before us, under the present local financial conditions, is not encouraging, but we must forget this fact and go forward determined to do our part. The results will be surprising. The terms of the new bonds are easy, and will prove to be popular. Williamsburg County can.not fail in this task without being suspected of doubtful patriotism. Tc fail in this duty would show a forgetfuliyss of the precious memory of our soldier boys who went ovei the top never to return. Their sacrifice wrs 'or our sake. There will be a meeting next Sat iwrfi-v Anril 12th. at the Courl Houre in Kingstree. You are earnestly requested to be present Brinj some of vour workers with you. Let us finish the iob just as the Bovj finished theirs over in Europe. Very truly, E. C. Epps County Chairman o T**e Long Watch 'America was at war exactly 14, 016 hours, which time reduced t< mmutes equals 840,960. What does ii mean to have been at war 840,96( minutes? Well, for one thing ii means that for every one of thos< minutes a watch was kept by men or ^ the sea. When the United States declaret war the strength of the navy wai 87,000 in men and officers. At th< signing ' of the armistice it wa; 500,000. The navy did not have many spectacular engagements, the slinking German war ships kept too well un de'r cover for that, but the kaiser'; mysterious, gray weasels of the sei were at their deadly work night an( day?every ^one of those 840,96( " >.?? .-onrlc am minutes. uur mew, uivumu.w v.... hundreds of thousands of them, hac to be taken across the ocean, througl mine fields and deadlier submarines Well, we know that the* navy"pui 'em across"?without the loss of < single transport. More than two mil lion men landed safely in Europe; ii was a stupendous success. On bitter winter nights?and tha season of 1917-1918 was one of th? coldest in our history?those faith ful guardians of the sea kept theii vigils. Standing watch through thi black hours, eyes strained to catcl sight of hostile periscopes, each sec ond was measured by a heart beat50,457,600 of them in all. It was a long watch, but it wa; faithfully kept to the end. Will you too, keep the faith? The navy'sworl | is not finished though the long vigi is over. Transports are still busj bringing the men home, but trans ports cost money to run. Help furn ish that money so that those faith ful boys may finish their job.

C DEDICATE CHURCH EASTER ~ Eminent Presbyterian Workers To Take Part Central Presbyterian church will be formally dedicated on Easter Sunday, April 20. This announcement j was made today by the Rev. P. S. i ' McChesrfey, pastor, and at the same; j time he announced that the pastor and congregation expected to make the dedication service a memorable; one "in the history of the church in, Anderson. "The congregation feels that Easter will be the most appro' priate day on which to formally set . i apart their house of worship to the 'glory of God," said the pastor. The congregation numbers more than 2r>0 resident members and quite a number of non-resident communicants at present. In addition to this there are scores of attendants on the services at Central church nearly every Sunday who cannot attend their own local church services and ; I take pleasure in worshiping at CenI' tral. The congregation is a growing !. one and Dr. McChesney's eyes spari i-i-j ?. u. yjsts.iothat Central IK. f (.*!

D. president of Columbia Theolo, gical Seminary, and professor of di. j dactic and polemic theology in that institution, has been secured to ! preach the dedicatory sermon. Speak . ing of him today Mr. McChesney pastor of the Central church said: . j "Dr. Whaling is not only a thorough : i scholar and profound thinker, but he . i is one of the first pulpit orators of r the Southern Presbyterian church." t The Rev. Thos. H< Law, D. D., of ; I Spartanburg, the venerable stated clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church, will offer the dedicatory prayer. The paying of all indebtedness on the church recently amounting to nearly $3,000 has made this service possible. The public generally will be invit ed to share with the Central congre> gation the feast of good things their c dedication day holds in store for ) them.?Anderson Mail. ? The citizens of Kingstree as a ? whole will be delighted to learn of the splendid work being done by Mr. 1 McChesney at Anderson.

April 8.?The State 1 Highway Commission through the i State Treasurer will distribute $240,.; 525.40 among the forty-six counties t of the State from automobile license i fees paid for 1919 up to April 1st. -i In 1918 the automobile license fees t' to April 1st amounted to $195,512.40. ! The collections in 1919 were approxl i imately $45,000.00 in excess of those ? in 1918 up to the same date. . i Williamsburg county will receive r $3,499.60 as its share of the automo? bile license fees. Advocates of good i roads are strongly of the opinion - that even* county in the State - should devote the whole of its receipts from automobile license fees 5 to making permanent road improve,' ments or on road maintenance this c year, as provided by law. jl Section 11 of the Act approved 1 j February 20th, 1917, creating the - j State ^ighway Commission and im.! posing a license tax on motor vehi.! cles, provides that the money from - the license tax shall be used by the II ?1__ /? it. j | counties oniy xur uic h?h uiuv? and maintenance of roads and bridges." From reports received last year it appears that some of the counties ' turned the money from automobile i license fees into the general county r fund and did not use it as required by law. o Notice of Teachers Examination The next" regular teacher's exa; mination will be held in the Court ?

The money is part of the fund i !j of nearly $2000 made by the sale of | tobacco last summer. I ? This splendjd gift has been made j * in the name of the Junior Red Cross!,1. of Williamsburg county. As the to- J * bacco was donated by the different \r farmers of the county who patron- j J ized the Kingstree warehouses, we j *are sure that these farmers, each of j* whom was asked to contribute only j11 a few handfuls from his wagon, are;'1 now glad to know that from those : v single gifts has come the support of j c 14 helpless little children of France,!v whose fathers laid down their lives'1 ' in the allied cause. * By a carnival held on the school IJ grounds Monday night, the eighth 1 grade of the Kingstree High School jj j made a neat little sum of money, f j sufficient to insure the support of i _ ' another orphan.

The necessity for supplying the refugees with furniture arises fromjj the fact that many are without: t money with which to buy furnish-;J ings, while such as have funds can-1 not be supplied in France because of! i the 'ack of materials and the des-; f truction of the means of manufac- j ture. j Mrs. P.

C. COl'PLK AKKEMEU Mscharged Soldier and Girl Said to ! i Be His Wife in Trouble Bennettsville, April 1.?It has been ,?ell said that truth is stranger than < ction. The case of George Taylor ^ nd a girl, said to be his wife, would lake a fine plot for a movie picture, i ieorge Taylor was honorably dis- j harged from the army a few days , go. He is typical of the dough-boys j rho broke the Hindenburg line and j tade the Argonne forest forever j temorable. Twenty-two years old; feet. J inch tall; broad shoulders; j lean shaven and weighing 190 ounds he is a fine specimen of young > lanhood. The stripes of a sergeant , ecorating his sleeve shows that he ose as high as his limited education ' iermitted. Saturday night Sheriff Patterson, f Marlboro County, arrested Taylor nd the eighteen-year-old girl at . lurphy's boarding house. A telegram 10m Sheriff McCain stated that he J ad ran off with another man's wife, j "he couple had been in Bennettsville , nly three days. They were from 'airfield County. The girl was workng in the Sterling Hosiery Mill and "avlor was building a house for the niil. This is the story they tell. They cere raised on a farm in Fairfield 1 'ounty, were sweethearts, promising 1 o marry when Taylor was called < inder the draft. For a few months 1 etters came to the soldier boy reg- 1 ilarly and then suddenly ceased. He < ame back to Camp Jackson a few ! reeks ago, and went on a furlough ' o his home in Fairfield County. The i firl said she lived with the man she i narried for about a month and heard ' hat he had another wife; that her illeged husband was very cruel to i ler, and one night gave her a severe eating. She left and went to her i lister's. Several weeks after leaving ler husband she saw Taylor and >oured out her story to him, and egged him to take her away. Tayor had just gotten his discharge md the couple hastily boarded a rain. They left with no particular j lestination in view. On the train i hey met a gentleman from Bennetts- j ille who told them about the new j losierv mill. They got off and ap>lied for work. The girl's people are ieeking pi-oof. of the former marriige and they say that just as soon is they get it they are going to get narried. These people are very primtive and the case is one that makes i strong appeal to humane instincts, i raylor's chief thought seems to be; o protect the woman. He told some j rentlemen who went down to the, ail that this was "a good girl" and hat it did not matter what happened to him if no harm came to her. rhev were in soperate cells and the j firl said about the same thing 01 ray lor.

This movement is a continent-wide campaign to emphasize the religious education of children. That there is great need of arousing the continent to the spiritual needs of children is evidenced by the fact that at least thirteen millions of the twenty-five, millions of children under twelve years of age are receiving no religiuos education whatever. It is to help change this alarming condition and make it possible for all children to receive their religious rights that the International Sunday School Association has suggested this continent-wide observance of a children's week in the spring of 1919. The following local committee have been appointed to serve in carrying out this plan of observing children's week in Kingstree: i ? Survey Committee?Mrs. M. A. Shuler. rhairman: Mrs. Belle Blake ley, Mrs. Sue Ervin, Mrs. W. G. Gamble. Advertising Committee?Mrs. P. G. Gourdin. Sunday Mass Meeting Committee ?Mrs. L. W. Gilland, chairman; Mr. . S. J.
