Prof. W. W. Long, head of the

der the department of agriculture in
cooperation with Clemson College,

SUMTER WIDELY KNOWN.
Chamber of Commerce Gets Commu?
nication from Berlin.
That the Sumter Chamber of Com?
merce- Is a widely, known organization
may be gathered from the fact that
almost daily it receives inquiries from
all sections of the United States and
from Canada concerning the "City
Manager Plan of municipal govern?
ment" first inaugurated by Sumter,
but it is even more widely known
than that, for recently a letter came
from Berlin, Germany, more than 4,
000 miles across the Atlantic, asking
the Sumter Chamber of Commerce to
indorse resolutions in favor of a uni?
versal international postage system.
Secreteary Reardon was somewhat
taken aback by the German printed
on the envelope and it had already
come into his mind that he must get
a German to interpret the letter, but
after he opened it he found it printed
in English and felt better over it. He
has not ye*, exactly decided who the
organization is from whom the letter
was sent, but he copied the German
and let the answer go to the address
given, oy *n if he did not know who or
what it was.
STILL PLANTING TOBACCO.
Will Probably Plant 8,000 Acres In
Sumter County.
That there will be between 2,500
and 8,000 acres of tobacco planted in
Sumter county during the year is
the report of Secretary Reardon of
the Chamber of Commerce. A num?
ber of farmers have recently decided
to plant, who had previously stated
that they would not plant, and others
have decided to increase their acreage
in tobacco.
During tho past week there wore
a number of requests for tobacco
seed at the chamber of Commerce,
the applicants being supplied. This in?
dicates that farmers are still pre?
paring their tobacco beds and getting
ready to plant.
It is reported that several new
barns are being built in various parts
of the county und a number of old
barns, which havo been used for oth?
er purposes for a number of years,
are being put in condition to care for
the tobacco crop when it is gather?
ed this summer.
Barn and Stables llurnod.
Len Willis, colored, suffered a se?
vere loss Monday about noon, when
his barn and stables were burned, de?
stroying practically all of his corn
and stock food. The flro occurred
about a mile north of town. Willis
was away at time. The tire is sup?
posed to have been caught by his lit?

Rembert News Notes.
Rembert, March 10.?Mr. Richard
Fainfort, who was visiting Mr. H. C.
Bethea last week, was called sud?
denly home to Belfort, Pa., to attend
the burial of his brother.
The snow was so sudden, so un?
expected. One man says it was 11
inches deep. It was the heaviest fall
within the memory of most of us.
And the freeze that followed came
near being disastrous to small grain.
Folks are about through hauling,
fertilizer.
Mrs. M. A. Young has gone on an j
extended visit to her sister, Mrs.
Strother in Fairiield county.
Mr. W. R. Brown, who has been
quite sick is slowly improving.
Mrs. W. J. Spencer is sick again,
but we hope she will soon be up.
Mrs. Charles Jackson and Mrs. Ada
James are visiting Mrs. J. L#. Jack?
son.
Pastor Wilder pcrached a forceful
sermon at New Hope Baptist church
Sunday, March 8, on "Those who
have loved His Appearing."
The Woman's Missionary Society of
Bethesda church held its monthly
meeting for March at the home of
Miss Caroline Dinkins. After the ex?
ercises delightful refreshments were
served. The next meeting will be
held at the home of Mrs. Thomas R.
Moody on the first Saturday of

Give Children Honey*
Prof. Cjok says: "We all know
how children long for candy. This
longhig voices a need, Lnd is another
evidence of the necessity of sugar in
our diet*** Children should be given
all the honey at each mealtime that
they will eat. It is safer; will large?
ly do away with the inordinate long?
ing for candy and other sweets; and
in lessening the desire will doubtless
diminish the amount of cane sugar
eaten. Then if cane sugar does work
mischief with health, the harm may
be prevented."
Ask the average child whether he
will have honey alone Dn his bread,
or butter alone, and almost invari?
ably he will promtply answer, "Hon?
ey." Yet seldom are the needs or
the tastes of the child properly con?
sulted. The old man craves fat meat;
tho child loathes it. He wants sweet,
not fat. He delights to eat honey;
it is a wholesome food for him, and
is not expensive. Why should he not
have it
Sugar Is much used in hot drinks,
as in coffee and tea. The substitution
of a mild-flavored honey in such
uses may be a very profitable thing
for the health.
