The County Council of Defense wishes to call to the attention of the public the second issue of Liberty bonds, which the United States government, is now offering to the public. These bonds will draw interest at the rate of 4 per cent., payable semi-annually. An application can be made at any bank in the county. It is the duty of those who are able to loan the government their money, to do so, in order that the war may be properly prosecuted. Those who stay at home should remember that some one else is fighting, in order that they may live, and be protected here at home, therefore, it is the duty of everyone who can possibly do so, to purchase Liberty bonds. No one knows how high taxes may go during, but money invested in Libertv bonds will be safe from ordinary taxation. SU1LOH Our School opened Monday with Prof. K. O.

LA FOLLETTE'S "DEFENSE" The following indictment of La Follotte, by The Charleston News i?nd Courier, though couched in mild language, goes straight to the heart of the matter: Senator La Follette spoke for three hours in the Senate in defense of his course in regaftl to the war. He ijuoted Lincoln, Webster, Clay, Sumner, Burke, Fox and Lord Chatham. He said a great many things. But nothing that he said in defense of his utterances alters the fact that these utterances have been detrimental to his country in time of war and have given aid and comfort to the enemy. That fact is fixed and unchangeable. It cannot be altered or obscured though La Pollette arirue him self black in the face. It is the only fact that matters. ' All of La Follette's fine-spun casuistry about the right ?f free speech collapses like a house of cards before the impact of one word?Russia. If Russia were still effectively in the war, the struggle would be over before our troops got into the trenches. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that La Follctte has assisted in creating a situation which will bring death to many of^our brave Americans. That is only a part of the story sut it is enough. When such consequences as this follow from the employment of what La Follette misrails free speech, there is no room !or further argument. In effect, if iot in intent. La Follette is an ene McBEE SUNpJj^^OON * McBee, Oct. 6.?Sunday October the 21st at thred o'cloc^fl Seymour Carroll, of Columbia, one \\ of the most prominent negroes in the J South will deliver an address in this and^^^^^^^^OTlf announced here today that the left side of the Negro Baptist church where Prof. Carroll will speak will be held for the large number of" white people here who have expressed a willingness to hear the negro leader.
