The young ladies gave a Red Cross party at the home of Mrs. Leon Wein. berg last evening, which was unique in that all of the girls were dressed like nurses, and showing their gal lants how they will appear on the battlefield in Europe. The large window of Iseman-Wein berg Co. is one of the mhost attractive we have yet seen. Mr. Smith, the decorator, has placed American flags and mats in thte window, and bordered it with sailor hats. This display rep resents the army and navy, which make this grand patriotic show. The Times being equipped for al most anything, went after the tobacco warehouse work of the State this sea son, and instead of this money going to Virginia, we have kept it at home. We have orders in now for over 100,000 checks, besides the other sta tionery warehousemen use, such as farmers bills, buyers bills, letter heads, envelopes and tags.

The wind and rain storm that pass ed over this city Sunday afternoon was much more severe in the country northeast of the city than, it was in town. In the vicinity of Mr. Joe Du Rant's place the wind blew with great violence and the fall of hail was so heavy that crops were considerably damaged and fruit was stripped from trees. On Mr. DuRant's place a num ber of large trees were blown down and the fruit crop was almost de stroyed by the hail. The storm seems not to have been destructive generally in this county, as no reports have been of widespread damage.-Sumter Item. Marguerite Leslie, known as Lon don's loveliest leading lady, makes her film debut in the Equitable Motion Pictures Corporation's production of Roy L. McCardell's unique story, "The Question." "The Question," a five-act dramatic document, deals with the type of woman who abhors the thought of becoming a mother and who goes to every extreme to avoid doing so. Her husband, a true lover of children, cannot be other than dis pleased with his wife s attitude to ward the most blessed of home trib utes, and treads the dangerous paths. The story of itself, without the added attractiveness of Miss Leslie's per sonality, would be a potent entertain ment and moral, but with the charm ing stage player in a role that fits ham like a glove, the story in its vis ualized form takes on a tremendous charm. Miss Leslie has been leading woman for Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, Sir Henry Irving, Cyril Maude and all the other great actors of the contem porary stage. Will be shown at The Pastime Friday night, June 8th. Sumter has been very busy for two months organizing a Red Cross Chap ter; not a very easy thing to do, as, in order that those chapters may be permanent and bring about results, headquarters at Washington requires innumerable forms of applications be fore it will issue a charter and then all kinds of red tape have to be com plied with before it will let one get down to work. The charter granted Sumter includes Clarendon and Lee Counties in its territory, to facilitate the handling, shipping and purchasing 001 Th rid Economy.

The central organization in Sumter is planning to form auxili aries in the neighboring towns that will, to all intents and purposes be independent, having their own officers, committees and headquarters. Chairman O'Donnell has been au thorized by the executive board to consult Mayor Bradham as to the most convenient date to have some of the Sumter members come to Man ning to organize the Red Cross there, if he thinks the Manning people would care for such a meeting. A program committee has been appointed to ar range about good speakers for the several meetings expected to be held. The three counties ought to be able to form a chapter of 5,000 members. The dues are only $1.00 a year, fifty cents of this goes to headquarters at Washington, the other fifty cents re mains in the community in which it is collected to be used, along with any contributions given in, for purchasing suplies to be made up for base hos pit:'s, use on the battle fields and so forth. he Red Cross works under the Wr : Department and is the only civil ian organization authorized by the go, 'rnment.

Since I have 'been auditor of Clarendon county, I have used my very best ef fort to give the people of the counta a clear honest administration of al the affairs connected with the office and at the same time comply wit! the demands of higher authority. Mr Johnson says that upon investigation he found that I was making up m3 records and refusing to enter up the road tax without even consulting au. thority. As a matter of fact whet I read Mr. Johnson's Bill, I did nol know exactly what to do, as it seem ed to me the old Road Law, and th< new law passed by Mr. Johnson, wa: on.conflict, and I at once wrote Comp Gen. Sawyer, who is head of the Ta> Department, to advise me. Here is Mr. Sawyer's reply to my letter: "Columbia, S. C., March 9th, 1917 Mr. A. P. Burgess, Auditor Clarendoi County. Dear Sir: Relative to the Road Taxes for. Clarendon county, ] find that on the 13th day of Februar3 the Governor signed a Commutation Road Tax Act for Clarendon county which seems to go into effect 31st Dec., 1917. Under the terms of thi: Act you will be required to keep i separate book for these road taxes This system is in vogue in Saluda county, and I am enclosing you here Fruit Jars Jar Rubbers Jar Caps Jar Openers Stone Jars We have assorted sizes o: Stone Jars suitable for put ting up eggs in waterglas and Krauting Vegetables Also for salting and keeping pickles, preserves, etc. Everything for Pickling any Preserving.

If you will have your county commissioners to pass on this matter and order a set of these books I will be pleased to look after getting them for you. Yours truly, Carlton W. Sawyer, Comp. Gen." This seemed plain to me but it turned out that I was mistaken. No question of politics has ever influenc ed me in doing my duty, for I am the paid servant of all the county. Mr. Johnson's contention concerning the duty to collect the same Road Tax this year as last year is correct, and I am glad because I am desirous of - being guided by the facts and tlye law. But there is a reason for my misun derstanding to which the public should know about. The Tax or fiscal year - runs from July 1st to June 30th. The Tax books are made up to cover that 1 period. The new tax that Mr. John son provided, does not go into effect at the beginning of a new tax year, but in the middle of a year. I (10 not mean this as a criticism of the delegation, for that is their business, and mine is to carry out the law. But I state this so that the public may - understand that though I was mis taken, the mistake was due to the reason given above. Yours truly, A. P. Burgess. o SPECIAL CLUB RALLY DAY. Saturday, June 16th, is Special Club Rally Day for the Canning, Bread, Poultry, Corn, Pig and Home Demon stration Clubs. Every one is invit ed.
