The patriotic rally held in town [ last Friday in the interest of the Third Liberty bond brought to town one of the largest crowds that have! assembled here in many years. The music was furnished by the band from Camp Jackson. Rain began to pour shortly after the parade by the members of the Red Cross and the school; children which caused the crowd to; disperse and go to their homes. ' A large number were addressed by Rev TT T? Mnrphisfm of Lancaster. Hon. John E. Swearingen state ' superintendent of education has been invited to deliver the address to the ; graduating class of Summerland college at commencement in June. Mr. H. L. Raser of Abbeville was in town a few days last week organizing a Mutual Fire Insurance company for this county. He met with, considerable encouragement and he1 will likely begin work in the interest j of the Company in the near future. Capt. E. W. Gibson of Vermont ai ? * i r* i j_ j member of the united states army j and stationed at Spartanburg spent! Sunday with friends in town. Capt Gibson is a well known lawyer of Brattleboro, Vt., and when the war brolle out between the United States1 and Germany, he was among the nrst to volunteer and take his place a-; mong the valient defenders of his country. Mr. John Fox formerly of Batesburg but now of Concord, N.

' MfiI -r-;/ mm iH PRICE ON WOES Information For Dealers Who Will Apply To The Food Administration. I Columbia.?If there is in South Carolina any community where prices of Irish potatoes have not decreased to a level which places this food within j the reach of all, by reason of the fact that food dealers have not been able ; to secure potatoes at a wholesale price which will permit of selling them at 1 Adminig- I lower retail prices, iuc *. v/^v* ^ tration is in position to inform such i dealers where potatoes can be secured at prices comparable with the surplus stock in South Carolina at the present time. A letter or postal addressed to the Food Administration at Columbia will bring this information to anyone inquiring. Potatoes are the most plentiful and i economical food that consumers can ; buy at the present time. SOUTH CAROLINA BOYS ARE HELPING FEED THE WORLD Splendid Work of Corn and Pig Club Boys Forms Big Contribution * to Food Supply. Columbia.?The report cf L. L. Ba-1 ker, Supervising Agent of Boys' Club Work in South Carolina, recently made to Dr. W. W. Long. Director of Extension Work in this State, a copy of which has been received by the Food Administration, illustrates in a most forcible and convincing manner how farmer boys can. on their own responsibility, aid materially in the production and conservation of food at this critical time in the world's history when the crying demand of a hungry, fighting world is for more and more food. At the same Lime, boys are earning money with which to buy Liberty Bonds, thus helping in a double-barreled manner to help win the war. Members of the Corn Club in South Carolina produced last year 26,813.21 bushels of corn at an average cost of forty cents a bushel, the average yield being fifty-three bushels to the acre. Figuring corn at $2.00 per bushel, which is conservative, the total net profit was $42,689.47. The total net profit resulting from the Boys' Pig r Club in the State was $13,998.01. Tne total net profits of South Carolina farmer boys in these two projects for the year was $56,687.48. There is an effort being made to more than double the membership of the Corn and Pig Clubs during present year. Last year there were 1056 boys enrolled in Corn Club Work, of whom, however, only 501 reported; and 1,250 boys enrolled in Pig Clubs, of whom only 856 reported. To assure the success of the Corn t>,-? n?h work in South Carolina. auu x -w the co-operation, encouragement and support of the public-spirited citizens is necessary. For instance, last year a number of bankers in different parts of the State helped by offering prizes, and in this way thousands of dollars' worth of pure bred pigs were brought into the State, very materially adding to the breeding stock of hogs. One of the greatest difficulties has been encountered in supplying the boys with pigs. This splendid work of the T Oz-v^tV, Carnlina has farmer ouys ui formed a big contribution to the food supply of the country, and it is a work which offers opportunity for many public-spirited people to lend their aid. There will be more Pig Club boys this year if the pigs to supply them are offered?or the money with which to buy pigs?and- L. L. Baker, Supervising Agent of Boys' Club Work. Bishopville, S.

Columbia.?In the course of his address, launching the third Liberty Loan in South Carolina. William Me ~f Ti-oocnrv fall Adoo, secretary ui mc 11 vu^ui^, ^^_ ed attention in his Columbia speech to the great shortage of food, and said: "The greatest thing needed is wheat. We are all eating strange breads composed of elements which a short time ago no American ever dreamed of. But what does it matter? For my part. I'd become a clay-eater to lick the kaiser. Save food. Save for our Allies. You won't save unless you economize. Economize and you not only save food, but you also save money which you can put into the Liberty Loans and thus help win the war in two ways." PLANT SWEET POTATOES.
