Miss Mary Lemmon. Home Dem?
onstration agent for Sumter county, in
Icharge of Instruction of domestic
science, and the Girls' Tomato and
Canning Clubs requests The Daily
Item, to express her appreciation in
behalf of the young women of the ru?
ral districts of this county of the
generous response of those who have
contributed to this worthy cause.
Miss Lemmon took occasion to say
that few people realise how much the
people of the country districts appre?
ciate the Interest in the welfare of
the cltlsens of the farming districts,
by the business and professional men,
and the ladles of Sumter.
She says that the amount of mon?
ey which will be subscribed to send
four young women to take these
courses of Instruction while not large
In the aggregate, nevertheless shows
that the men and women of Sumter
city are real friends of the boys and
girls of the country districts, and
that heretofore many hundreds of
dollars subscribed by the business
snd professional men, banks, man?
ufacturers, snd others of Sumter city
for prises, have created the most fa?
vorable and friendly relations be?
tween city and country, besides serv?
ing as an Incentive to the farmers,
wives, sons, and daughters to excel in
agricultural pursuits, and intelligent
conservation of what is produced on
the farm.
Sufficient money has been collected
so far to guarantee that at least two
young ladles will be aide ot accept the
eeholarship offered by Winthrop Col?
lege, and a few dollars are left to?
wards sending two to Cokcr College.
The young ladles who will go to Win?
throp will base to leave on the 20th
of June, und If Miss Lemmon Is for?
tunate enough to get sufficient money
to send two nmr to Coker College,
these will have to be In Hartsvllle on
June 2Hth.

THINKS EDITOR ON WRONG
TRACK.
J. C. lumlmr of Raised Comes to 1H>
fcnso of Bryan's Action.
Editor Dally Item:
We see that you, as well as others,
have an Inclination to criticise Mr.
Bryan for the stand he has taken in
not signing the last note, sent by our
?01ernment to Germany, as well as
resigning his position as secretary of
State. Why should we as bystand?
ers, not knowing his convictions, be so
i f uly to offer criticisms? Mr. Wilson
is a great and honest man; one of the
greatest who has occupied the posi?
tion he now holds since the days of
Washington, and American citizens of
averago intelligence recognize the
fact, but with the light before.us we
must concede the fact that Mr. Bry?
an Is equally as honest. It is only a
matter of honest convictions between
tho two, with which tho people of this
country havo to deal, and if Mr. Bryan
is honest, which no man has a right,
with the reputation he has heretofore
borne, to doubt, why are those with
whom he has a legal as well as a mor?
al right (the latter the more import
ant of the two) to differ, so ready to
flay him with all the energy and force
they can exercise? We are a free peo?
ple and e^'ery man of ability has a
right to aspire to position, if he has
the qualifications to discharge the
functions of that office, but when the
policies of the government comes in
direct conflict with his moral and re?
ligious convictions, under the law of
common reason, as well as that of
holy writ, he would stultify himself,
shoulO "?e do other than Mr. Bryan
has done. He does not propose to
stifle or suppress his convictions for
honor or ennoblements and has the
moral manhood, (a Jewel which only
the minority of the human race has)
to come out In the open and let the
people know his position. From what
little Information we have gathered,
he has been the prominent instrument
in organizing and establishing treat?
ies with thirty different nations, the
principal feature of which, is to set?
tle i rupUons and misunderstandings,
which may arise between any of those
countries and the .United States, by
arbitration, whereby war and blood?
shed may be eliminated, and the con?
vention to have one year to deliber?
ate and submit Its report. We all
can see tho object of this provision
embodied, the intention of which Is,
after cool reflection and reasoning to
settle the differences by some other
means than the use of the sword. If
we understand the duties of the cab?
inet, it Is an advisory body, as well
as having Individual functions to car?
ry out, and in this case the majority
of that board looked at the situation
from a different standpoint of that of
Mr. Bryan and no doubt he was em?
barrassed, and felt as he has said he
did not wish to embarrass others and
therefore, he as a man who is loyal
to his moral convictions acted in the
premises as other men whoso moral
a|ul religious principles are In the
ascendency should. Tho writer is ful?
ly awaro of the fact that Persldent
Wilson does not want any war with
Germany. Ills actions in the past
have fully demonstrated it; and if left
alone without tho pressure of the
Jingoes, who would like to see this
country involved in a bloody conflict,
for the sako of financial greed, war
will be the last resort. Mr. Bryan
has recommended that our American
citizens be advised by the government
not to take shipping on any belliger?
ent vessels, bound for a foreign coun?
try, under the strained conditions now
existing bstween Germany and somo
of the other belligerents, when they
would havo to pass through the dan?
ger lone and of course be exposed
to all tho Ills that can be brought to
beat by one belligerent towards her
enemy, but his recommendation has
been Ignored on tho ground that the
people of a neutral country have a
legal right to travel anywhere on the
high seas they are disposed, even if
they are on a belligerent vessel. We
are free to admit they have a legal
right, but we challenge any man to
successfully establish, that they have
a moral right to do anything that
will have a tendency to Involve their
country in a bloody war.
The man who Is ready to suppress
his moral and religious principles for
worldly praise and honor Is net the
pure stuff, matters not the laurels he
may gather and the encomiums
he g|g) I iu In the estimation of hil?
ft re OH the wrong trail. Call of your
manit\. Therefore, M r Bdltor, you
dogs and point them in different direc?
tion and per hops you will track the
right tiger to his lair.
