I When somebody wants to sell you something, you almost always know the words: We care. We understand. We're interested. We listen. We do more for you. We make it easy. It all sounds so meaningful. But by now you've realized that talk is cheap. And what's really important is the follow-through. At C&S Bank, we'll never waste words to tell you we care. Because saying it doesn't make it so. Action does. So come in. Try us. Find out about our services. Tell us what you think about the way we work for you. Write us if it's handier. We're dedicated to being the best bank in South Carolina. You say the words, we'll start the action. THE CITIZENS & SOUTHERN NATIONAL BANK OF SOUTH CAROLINA Member F.D.l.C.

Francis NEXT MONTH IN Marion's "Orderly Book" dated 1778: "Sentries ... came up with flapped hats, bare legs, long beards SANDLAPPER and uncombed hair .... As long hair gathers much filth and takes a great deal of time to comb ... every soldier [is] to have his hair cut short, to reach no further than the top of the shirt collar, and thinned upwards to the crown of the head .... Any soldier who comes on parade with beards or hair uncombed shall be dry shaved HAWKING immediately and have his hair By C.W. Kilbey dressed on parade .... " And this later comment, also from Gen. Marion: " ... enjgins them not to meet with any mobs, nor to have the least hand in any riotous proceedings whatsoever." Oh! The repetitions of history! Arney R.
