Not everybody can buy Lib erty Bonds, but by buying Thrift and War Savings Stamps every man, woman and child in Edgefield, however small their income, can have a part. The person who is not willing to have a part, just because perchance it may be a small part, is a slack er. DO YOUR PART. BUY STAMPS. I - = M It is doubtless according to the fit 1 ness of things for a Vanderbilt wid ! ow to marry the director cf the mint. I The man who lives upon an acre B of ground, or less, and has not a war ? garden is wanting in practical patri otism. I T !>; Increase in fares means a corres I ponding decrease in travel. This will . be a mighty effective way of keep ing some people at home. Jj __ When Shakespeare said, "Neither . a borrower nor a lender be," he did not mean that you should not lend your money to the government. According to the present outlook, there will be scores of teacher-less schools scattered over the State. The dearth of capable teachers is caus ing alarm. ii: I Every man, woman and child can become a money lender by purchas ing War Savings Stamps. You mere ll lend your money to the govern- ^ ?ment and receive a reasonable rate | ' d? interest. i, -Instead of discussing thc war, let's talk nothing but War Savings Stamps from one end of Edgefield county to , the other for the next two weeks. It , will require that and more to reach our quota. _ -- ^Probably the presence of submar ines in Atlantic waters will curtail our sugar supply. There is a normal supply of sugar in Cuba but the fac ilities for shipping rre limited. Blame it -on the.. Huns if your supply of swp?tenin is cut. "Pjfhen it comes to campaigns, 11 Greenwood county has set a good exajnple. The executive committee 'of ?Greenw'pod county left off the .eon^ffiunity to community political me?fings altogether. Well, Edgefield will -have onlv one. That's not bad. ? Acknowledged to be a Big Man. T&at Mr. McAdoo is a big man everybody admits, but up to this timej it has been impossible to deter mine' the extent of his bigness. He has ?filled satisfactorily every place to vthich he has been assigned and has ??ad a considerable degree of abil ity ijn reserve. Probably some effec tive jmeans of sounding his capacity will be found before this titanic strug gie ip over. To say the least of it, Mr. ?jMcAdoo is undergoing good trair lg for the responsibilities that puojdrstu; uodn o} ppuiisap tuoasl shoulders in 1920. Keep Polititcs in Background. Notwithstanding the fact that a campaign has opened in which prac tically^ every office will be filled in South^Carolina from United States Senator to magistrate, it is hoped that pur people will devote them selves more to "keeping the home fires bqrning'^ than to keeping the l political pot boiling. Fifty years from now it will not matter very much who was chosen to fill this or that office, but it will matter fifty, or even a thousand years, from now whether the Allies or the Huns win this war. We are pleased that while the county-to-county campaign will be conducted throughout the State as usual, some of the counties are dis continuing the community-to-commu nity political meetings. This is well, especially in a crisis like the present. As far as possible, politics should be kept in the background this year. Of course, as intelligent citizens, inter ested in good government we must see that only worthy aspirants are elected to office. But this can be done quietly, and certainly without causing our people to become wrought up to a white heat. The supreme moment has arrived when we as loyal Americans, with blood of our blood and bone of our bone being secrificed upon the battle field, we should rededicate and re consecrate ourselves to the cause of the Allies, which we reverently be lieve is the cause of God. Again we urge our people to keep politics in the background. ff. I Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Gerard Will be invited. William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, and James W. Gerard former ambassador from the United States to Germany, will be invited to address the South Carolina Press Association at its regular annual meeting in Gaffney in September. The executive committee met in Co lumbia yesterday and determined to make strenuous efforts to procure the two prominent Americans for the meeting. Previously it had been determined to hold the meeting earlier, but hotel accommodations in Gaffney are seri ously handicapped and the new build-1 ' ing being erected will not be com- ; pleted before September. A meeting of the executive com- 1 mittee was called in Columbia yes- ? terday and plans begun for the post poned convention of editors. The ? ones attending the meeting were.: J. . L. Minis of Edgefield, presiuent; A. . B. Jordan of Dillon, and H. G. Os- : teen of Sumter, vice presidents; Joe ? Sparks, secretary, and William Banks 'J and August Kohn, Columbia, and Ed ' DeCamp of Gaffney.-The State. Acting Highway Engineer F. H ' Murray Writes a Letter j To Supervisors. (Greenwood Index.) j The Dixie Highway will not go by ." Pleasant Lane, it now appears. Act- ' jig State Highway Engineer F. H. ? Murray favors the route by Reynolds ( bridge and has given his reasons in ' a letter addressed to supervisors G. ] W. Lipscomb of Greenwood and E. N. ] Broadwater of Edgefield. J His letter follows: ] Dear Sirs: ? As per your request I met you at 1 Greenwood on June 7th, and in com- 1 )any with you went over the two pro- ? oosed routes for the Dixie Highway jetween Greenwood and Edgefield ? 'or the purpose vf deciding upon the ] jest route to be constructed. i On this logging trip each mile was i jiven a rating based upon the loca- ? ;ion, the gra'des, the quality of the ? ;urfacing material, and the distance ] he surfacing material would have to ] )e hauled. The number of bridges to ] >c constructed on each road was also ] ;aken into consideration. : On the route from Greenwood to Edgefield via Reynoldr bridge over Turkey Creek the rating is 93 per < :ent. The distance from the Cross t Roads about two miles below Kirkscy ; ;o the point where the two proposed j routes intersect about seven miles ( ibove Edgefield is at present 11.1 1 niles; however, this distance will be 1 shortened about one mile by reloca- ? ;ion when the road is constructed. : There are four small bridges on the : route. ] On the route from Greenwood to ; Edgefield via Pleasant Lane Bridge ? jver Turkey Creek the rating is 70 .: per cent. The distance from the Cross ! Roads about two miles below Kirksey : to the point where the two proposed i routes intersect about seven miles ; above Edgefield is at present 10.6 : miles, but practically no reduction : can be made in this distance by relo- I eating the present road.-There are : fourteen small bridges on this route. ; To sum up the result of this inspec- I tion and logging trip, I find that the ! route via Reynolds bridge is the most practicable route to adopt. On this route an excellent location can be se cured with easy grades, which it will be impossible to get on the route via Pleasant Lane bridge. Also on the route via Reynolds bridge an excel lent quality of top-soil is available for nearly the entire route, while on the route via Pleasant Lane bridge the quality of the material is only fair. On the route via Reynolds bridge there are only four or five small bridges, while on the route via Pleasant Lane bridge there are fourteen small bridges which will have to be constructed. In conclusion I beg to advise that, based on the above data and informa tion I shall recommend to the State Highway Commission at its next meeting that the Federal Aid allotted to Edgefield and Greenwood counties be allowed upon the construction of the road from Greenwood to Edge field via Kirksey, Dr. J. C. Self's, and Reynold's bridge over Turkey Creek. Yours very truly, F. H. Murray. List of Men Who Registered On June 5, 1918. Registration No. 127 Pierce Andrews, Kirksey, S.

Our leaders in thought and the United States government has placed music fourth on the list as a war necessity, First iood, second, clothing third, shelter, fourth, music. Thous ands of musical instruments have been purchased by the United States government, because they agreed that music was necessary. The boys must sing and have an accompani ment in order to keep up the morale. Mr. John A. Holland has brought over some splendid pianos from his piano house in Greenwood which are in the empty store adjourning L. T. May's store. In each home where these pianos have been sold, sweet music will keep up the morale of the ones who stay at home. Mr. Holland has offered on* of the best of these instruments for the use of the college girls in their concert on Friday evening, so that when good musicians and a good piano get together, something good will be forthcoming.
