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.

ANENT FERTILIZER PRICES.
U. C. 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.

MISS JACOBS TO LEAVC
Popular Milliner to Go to McAllister,
Oklahoma, to Open Business.
The many friends of Miss M. C.
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.

AN TEN^rOYABLfe DANCE.
Drill by Patrol is Feature of Sbrincifsf
Patrol Ball.
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
