'?utotElfaE^IE?RD LEC? TURER. Fror. Smith Talks Interestingly on Community Civics. Prof. UeiU Smith of the University of South Carolina made a very Inter eating talk last night on community civics to an extremely small adulence at the Young Men's Christian Associa? tion, where he spoke under the aus? pices of the Business Men's Club. Although 1 the andience was small, those present heartily enjoyed Prof. Smith's remarks, which were In? structive and furnished his hearers food for future thought. In dealing with his subject Prof. Smith's chief point was,that It -was the character of the crtlsenshlp which made the character of the place. It was frot the commercial, social, politi? cal or religious bodies, he said, which made the community, but the charac? ter of the people who belonged to those bodies. In following out this line, he pointed out that the citizen must be taught what Is best for the community. He pointed out the nu? merous things that a community needed and public opinion should be formed so that all of the citizens should work for those things. The importance of community welfare, as they dealt with himself and his-com? munity and the social and governmen? tal agencies that exist to secure the desired elements of community wel? fare and the recognition of one's ctvic obligations and responding action were some of the things that had to he taught. SUMTER NEEDS FLOUR MILL. Wbeot Acreage In Sumter County Practically Doable That of1 Last Tear. . - Local Farm Demonstrator, J. Frank Williams, reported to the Sumter Chamber of Commerce a few weeks ago that he estimated 'from investi gatlons made that Sumter county .would plant between seven and eight thousand acres of wheat for the 1916 | harvest. Last year Sumter county planted about five thousand acres of wheat. Those who know J. Frank Williams know that he la a conservative anct lafe man who Investigates' thorough- i ly .before making any statement. Sum- i ter city needs a flour mill" and whi J .teed it worsej In a few-months than H ever has. ? 1 The permanency of wheat growing in Sumter county is practical!^ as aured provided that this city will furnish central and convenient grind-h i/ig and marketing facilities. I< Secretary Beardon states that he i believes that there would have been ten or twelve thousand acres of wheat planted In 1616 had the farmers been ensured of a flour mill in this city to grind It. Numerous complaints are now and have been continually com? ing m to his office from farmers re? garding the lack of grinding - and marketing facilities in this city. The lack of these facilities for grinding wheat and marketing oats and corn, has greatly discouraged the farmers In the planting of grain, and In the live stock business. I 1 > ? The Sumter Chamber of Commerce has. been trying In vain for more than a year to Induce the business men of Sumter to install a flour mill. A flour mill In this olty will have ample home grown wheat and wheat shipped In from other nearby coun? ties to guarantee a profit on the cap? ital stock Invested. JEWISH RELIEF FUKD.

D unbar See? Poort Prospects for Cotton Growers. Editor Daily Item. The farmers of this community, like many others, are up against a proposition, they don't know what to do with. A great many have not yet bought any fertilizers and the high prices' being asked for it, is the prob? lem they don't know how to solve. With the prices now being wanted for it and the present gloomy outlook for prices for cotton next season, it is well that the cotton producer think well before he launches heavily in the fer? tilizer business. If the Allies succeed in perfecting an effective blockade, the cotton In? dustry it seems, will be at rather a disadvantage as none can be exported to neutral countries and it will not take n large amount to supply the de? mand of this country and what Eng? land/ France and Russia need for their own consumption. Under these conditions, a big crop of cotton cer? tainly means low prices and the pro? ducer had better consider matters well before he decides on his plans for the year. Shipping room is another matter that should be well thought out as that is one of the drawbacks now In exporting cotton. We made a short crop last year, which under normal oondltions would have brought a fancy price and the South with its abundance of grain would have been In fine condition financially, but we most not let that thought decoy us Into a big cotton crop with a big amount of fertilizers to pay for out j of it. England wants her cotton just as cheap as she can get it and so does our American mills and we may be ' sure of not getting much money out of che next crop, should it be a large one. The lesson we learned in 1914 should be a lasting one and with that ! in view it will be our own fault if we again are caught in that predicament. Half of last year's crop has not yet i been taken by. the mills of this coun- ? try and Europe and with the surplus brought over from the big crop of \ 1914 there is yet a large amount of \ cotton to be disposed of, a part of which wlU be carried over until next season, a fact which Should put us on | Our guard. With no commercial' ma- , rine- ot note to export our cotton, de?* pendent on England who wants and will have all she can get out of tue , shipping business, a certain per cent, ; of" which we learn is applied to her government, for war purposes, and In all probability an effectual blockade ' of all European ports, which if per? fected, will leave this country iieip less In the cotton trade, except inso? far as England and her Allies are in need of and will take, and at the low? est prices possible, the cotton pro? ducer should go slow. Getting back to the question of I fertilisers, we must say that' a le? gitimate cause for such high prices j Is hard to find. We are told that the Panama Canal not being open to commerce is one of the causes why nitrate of soda is* so high. The writer used that goods on his farm ' long before the canal was ever cut, at prices much lower than Is now be? ing asked for it. We are told again that the belligerents are using it for explosives. Germany says that through her scientific methods, she is manufacturing explosives from other sources and is not dependent on im? ported materials for that purpose. If the cause was thoroughly investigated doutbless there would be found at its root something imitating a combine, whoue purpose it is to reap a fat re? ward at the expense of the tillers of the poll. Such conditions as are now predominating should be looked into and if results are found to be as sup? posed, the government should get busy belilnd the promoters and apply the law as laid down In the statute books of the nation. Tho farmers, too, will never have a better time to unite themselves and boycot the combinations and let them keep a part of their goods at least; for with the present outlook there Is nothing bright or encouraging to them to put forth the effort as In the past for a big yield of cotton.

Jacobs who has been living in Sumter lor the past four years conducting a ! millinery and ladies' outfitting busi? ness, regret that she leaves Sumter tomorrow for McAllister, Oklahoma, where she will open up in the same line of business. In addition to being very popular among the ladles of Sumter, among whom she has many patrons and friends, Miss Jacobs found time to identify herself with the progressive element of the community in com? mercial cooperation, having been the only lady member of the Sumter Chamber of Commerce and Retail Detailers' Association. The members of those two business organizations will miss the inspiration of this lady's cooperation and public-spirited as? sistance. During the Chamber of Commerce carnival in 1913 Miss Jacobs was elect? ed, by popular vote, as queen of the carnival, winning a beautiful and cost? ly diamond ring which was presented to her at the carnival grounds in the presence of <a large concourse of peo? ple, by the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Her upright and business-like man? agement of her business affairs, her Interest in her patrons, brought a large patronage in this section. Her friends while regretting to see her leave Sumter, nevertheless wish her every Imaginable kind of success, hap? piness and a long and useful lite. NEGRO BADLY CUT.

The Shriners' Patrol dance laafi night proved a very enjoyable affair for all of those in attendance, al? though the crowd was not nearly so large as wjjs expected, the rain hav? ing prevented many of the expected out-of-town visitors from attending. The hall was prettily decorated with paper festoons of Shriner colors, green and a big Shrlner pennant was draped in the center of the hall. The dance commenced shortly before 10 o'clock and continued until two. The music by the Rex Orchestra was ex? cellent and the orohestra- proved ex? ceedingly accommodating, responding to many encores. A feature of the dance was the drill given by the Sumter contingent of the Arabic Patrol, which went through the six distinct maneuvers which the entire patrol will give at the Imperial Shrine at Buffalo. The drill was a pretty feature of the even? ing, the participators being attired in the dress uniform of the patrol, and the patrol was heartily applauded. Immediately after the drill a delight? ful supper was served ths dancera Miss Mary Brunson, of Florence, is a visitor in the pity, having corns) over for the Shriaer's Patrol ball to* morrow night.
