Announcement ! We have been largely instrumental in inducing the people of Sumter, Clarendon and Lee Counties to grow their own food. We put our money into a flour mill to encourage the planting of wheat. We have added a rice mill to our plant to help the situation. We feel that the people appreciate our efforts in this direction. We now beg to announce that we have arranged to install with the least possible delay an additional flour mill of 100 barrels capacity to take care of our trade. We are turning out the finest flour that can be produced. Our "FLAVO" flour, "nature-flavored has no superior.' Bring us your wheat, rice and corn, either to grind or to sell. We will pay the highest cash market price at all times for grain, and guarantee you satisfaction in every way. The Sumter Roller Mills FOOT OF SUMTER STREET Sumter, S. C.

Those; on board could not tell what the French were shouting, but they understood from the tone of the babel that Amer icans were the cream of. the earth. Soldiers aboard the Lepape and other vessels in the expeditionary fleet threw loose coin to the French chit-. dren and tobacco and cigarettes to the French soldiers. The good-natured scrambling was an interesting spec tacle. During the voyage, a drummer played with a gun forward and. it went off. At th,. time about 300 sol diers were bathing, standing on deck is birthday uniforms and having the hose played on them. When the gun went off, it was at once supposed that a hostile submarine nearby and there was some excitement. They proceed ed to their stations without getting a -moment to throw on any clothing and presented a merrily. mirthful sight, bringing general laughter among their comrades. Citadel Man in Command. Major (then captain) Edward Croft, a Citadel graduate in the class of 1896, a native of Aiken, was in com mand of the soldiers on board the Lenape. He handed the following let ter to Mr. Grant, expressing appre ciation for the splendid services of this efficient Clyde officer: "Office of Commanding Office'r of Troops, U. S. A., C. T. Lenape, June 27, 1917. "Mr. W. H. Grant, Chief Steward, U. S. A. C. T. Lenape: "Dear Sir: Before leaving the ship I desire to extend to you my congrat ulations for the efficient manner in which you have conducted your de partment and my thanks for the ex cellent food you have furnished the troops and passengers during the voyage fram New York to France. I hope that it may be my pleasure to travel with you again soon. Very truly, "Edw. Croft. "Cartain, Twenty-sixth Infantry, Commanding Troops." Major Croft ran true to South Caro lina form during the voyage and in sisted on getting his hominy regular ly. When the Clyde line oflicers on board learned of this, they realized that they had as troop commander a genuine Southerner and that they also had an officer of the best type. Major Croft on several occasoins embraced the opportunity to express his appre ciation of the way in which the steam ship was handled. Mal de Mer Attacks Soldiers. Except for ont day, the voyage to France was pleasant. That clay was rough and as the Lenape rolled, sol diers were afflicted with mal de mer and showed no hesitation. Several of those on duty in the crow's next got the full benefit of the ship's roll ing and were none the happier for the experience. They did not find the footing any too comfortable in get ting from the shrouds up the jacob's ladder into the crow's nest. Friends of Mr. Grant will be pleas ed to know that his son, Harry A. Grant, holds the rank of sergeant ma jor in the American aviation corps. At present he is on duty at the aero school at San Antonio, Texas. lie was ordleredl some time ago from Honolulu to G;overnor's Island, New York, and thence to Fort Sam Hlouston. Sergt. Major Grant has achiev'ed a splendid recordl in the service, so much so that comnmissioned officers have taken the oppIortunity to send Mr. Grant letters in whic they congratulate the young man on his accomplishmients. In view of his ability, it appear:; likely that. he will soon be promotedI to a lieu tenancy in the aviation corps. Mr. Gri~ant has been transferred, since the return of the Lenape from a lFrench seaport, to the Apache, of which John N. Staples is the capitain. For fifteen years Mr. Girant and Capt. Edwin Kemble were together on the Ariapahoe, the Mohawk and the Le nape, in order. Capt. Kemable is at. present recovering fror,, a minor acci dent. The port. captain of the Clyde line was giveun the commission as cal.. tain of the Lenap for the voyage. SAYS CENTRA l AMERICA IS NOT AGA INSTr GERM ANY D~r.

Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 6.-Three persons were killed outright and two (lied later from injuries, the result of a collision of two passenger trains on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad in the yards here last midnight. Frank Miles, Mamaroneck, N. Y., dressed in a soldier's uniform, was among the victims. SAYS UNITED STATES MUST LEND TO FRANCE Paris, Aug. 6.-The Journal Des Bats, in a prominent review of finance yesterday, calls attention that it is America's imperative duty to recog nize obligations toward France which it cannot escape and that it must open credits to the Allies as large as may be required without which they can not continue the war. The article points out that the status of the United States is different now that she is in the war and says that it must not expect the same securities as when her standing was'on a private basis.
