Reciprocity day was observed Tues?
day afternoon by the various women's
clubs of tho city, tho member* of
which gathered In the Elks lodge
rooms and listened to a most delight?
ful musical program and two instruc?
tive health Ulks. Reciprocity day has
come to be a bUr event to the women's
clubs and that yesterday was no ex?
ception In Sumter. Refreshments and
a social hour was the closing feature
of the program.
The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. Nina Solomons, president of the
Civic League, who presided. In a few
well chosen words she stated the ob?
ject of Reciprocity Day and welcomed
the members of the various clubs rep?
resented. These clubs were: Win?
throp Daughters. Daughters of the
American Revolution. United Daugh?
ters of the Confederacy, Woman's Lit
terary Club, the Sumter Music Club
and ?e Civic League.

Dr. J. A. Hayns, State health offi?
cer and secretary of the State board
oi health.' was then Introduced and
saade a short pointed health Ulk. tie
told of the organisation of the State
board of health in 1st* and the work
it had been doing since that time. ???
He stated that there was a great
deal of misinformation spread
ocaoernJng the disease of rabies. X?
the examinations of the heads of ani?
mal* from donkeys to monkeys, there
wastage certain test and about forty'
sei the heads had been found
Inlssliti wHfrTabiea; He showed how
theesaend had saved many lives by its
lissBsaaHluta and sending out of the
serein treatment, as there was no. cure
for the disease once it set in. If any
dog*-got sick end did not die in five
days; he said, then there was1 ho
d**4<r of the animal having ratios;
for h ebhld not recover.
He stated that ih the providing of
antt-tioxm for diphtheria the 8tkte
board had saved nearly eight, hundred
lives, as befote the general use of the
entt-tojtln, about sixty per cent, of
those affected died, and since it had
been brought into use, comparativ ely
few die of the disease.
Dr. Hayna stated that doctors
worked to avoid epidemics, as they al?
ways lost by them. They wanted to
see the community keep in good
health. ,
'There are two main subjects upon
which I suppose that all of you are in?
terested, your meat supply and your
milk supply," said Dr. Heyne. "I
visited the slaughter house here
three years ago upon my visit to
Sumter and It was. In a deplorable
condition. Today I visited it again
and there has been marked improve?
ment, but there is still room for a
great deal more Improvement. Your
meat markets have also Improved." ho
stated. Dr. Hayne then went on t*
tell how Greenwood, a city smaller
than this, had Installed an abattoir,
whore It was under the health officer's
supervision and direction and the Im?
proved condition brought about a* far
as the cleanliness of the meat supply
was concerned. He stressed the val?
ue of such an abattoir to any city,
saying that Sumter should certainly
have one.
He then went Into the milk supply
question, saying that ibere was not a
singe licensed dairy In the city. The
dairy he had visited was a good one,
bet it was not under the supervision
and inspected by the city health of?
ficer. He advised that the city should
not allow any but licensed dairies to
do business in its limits and that
these dairies should be inspected daily
by the health officer, who should
keep a record score card of the dairies
and prohibit them .from doing busi?
ness, if they fell below fifty per cent.,
which, he said, was a very low aver
nae. "You do not know what kind of
milk you are getting," he said, "and
you won't know, as long as there is no
licensed dairy and no insectlon." He
emphasised the fact that the dairies
should be under the board of health
regulations.
He urged the organisation of an
antl-typhold club, saying that he had
never heard of one being organized in
the SUte. but that there should be
such organizations, as well as the anti
tuberculosis society and such other
antl societies. The fly problem, he
sUted was one that could be easily
eliminated, by screening of outhouses,
by the requiring of property owners
to connect with system, by keeping
a good sewer system, and by the
cleaning of sUbles once each week.
He sUted that the ordinances recent?
ly passed by council requiring con?
nection with sewers and the screening
THE Milt CONVENTIONS.
NEARLY EVERY MEETING WAS
MARKED BY HARMONY.
Factional Lines Drawn in Few Comi?
ties ? County-to-County Campaign
System Apparently Still Has Many
Friends.
From The Daily Item, May 2.
In every county in South Carolina
the Democrats held a convention yes?
terday, principally for the purpose of
electing delegates to the State Demo?
cratic convention, which will be held
In Columbia on Wednesday, May 17.
From the reports of the conventions
It appears that a spirit of harmony
characterized practclally every meet?
ing and In very few were there con?
gests of any consequence. The out?
standing feature was the endorsement
of the administration of President
Woodrow Wilson In every county,
some of which instructed their dele?
gates to support in the State conven?
tion a delegation Instructed to vote for
the renomtnatlon of President Wilson.
In many of the conventions the
county-to-county campaign system
was not mentioned, but where It was
discussed, In the majority of cases
the decision was In favor of retain?
ing what has become known as the
"biennial circus." , The Florence con?
vention passed a resolution asking the
State convention to permit the people
of the State to vote in the primary
this summer on the question of abol?
ishing or keeping the present system.
In many counties the delegates seem?
ed indifferent on this matter.
According to the report from Beau?
fort the Christensen faction was in
control of the convention and elected
its officers and delegates, but It seems
that the opposition faction withdrew
and that a protest will be made before
the State convention.

dinance, which the city had ever
passed.
Dr. J. T. Howell emphasized the
the fact that it was a disgrace to
have typhoid, when it was such a
filthy disease and could be prevented
by a little work, trouble and care. In
telling of the work which he antici?
pates doing here, ho stated that it
would be chiefly educational. The
chief work, he said, would be to
have sanitary closets or privies In?
stalled and to abate the fly and mos?
quito nuisance by the proper sani?
tary measures. Ho had been very
successful, In his work In Florence
county, from which he had Just come,
and he hoped to ho successful here.
The hardest task, he knew, would be
to lrtduce property owners to spend
a little money in providing better
health facilities among tho colored
population In tho small tenement
bouses on the outskirts of the ctiy.
At the conclusion of his address
refreshments were served and a
pleasant social hour was spent.

MAKING POOR LAND RICH.
Practical 1)enumeration of the Value
of Crimson Clover.
Approximately 1,000 farmers from
Greenwood, Abbeville, Anderson, Lau
rens, Edgefield, Saluda and other
counties, gathered at Hodges, Green?
wood county, to see the wonderful
transformation wrought on ordinary
lands by crimson clover, the great
work done in the past years by Bob
S. Hodges, the banker-farmer of that
little town, according to a Greenwood
special of April 27: The meeting was
planned by W. W. Long, director of
State extension department, and the
details arranged by C. B. Farris,
county demonstration agent of Green?
wood. It was a complete success in
every way. The farmers came by
train, trolley, automobiles, wagons
and buggies. After a practical demon?
stration in the big fields, dinner was
had, and after dinner addresses were
made by Bob Hodges, W. W. Long,
Deputy Directors Barton and Stew?
art These proved to the farmers
present that the clover and other le?
gumes are the things to enrich. South
Carolina soil; that they do so with
less cost and are more lasting than
any commercial fertilizer in the world.
Mr. Long was of the opinion after the
meeting that much good had been
done in getting farmers to come and
see at first hand what wonderful
work had been done at Hodges by Bob
Hodges. On a six horse farm last
year Mr. Hodges used $110 worth of
fertilizer and made 15 bales of cotton
t? the horse. His land is ordinary
sandy land.

The meeting in Camden last Satur?
day in the interest of better work in
the Kershaw Association was a fine
success. The addresses were on a
high plain. Dr. Derleaux, the State
secretary, was expected Saturday
evening. Quite a large audience was
present. The object of the meeting
was to group the churches and settle
pastors in them, so they would be !
closer to their church, and this plan
was adopted by a rising vote. Owing <

WHEN you pay several hun*

bile, why not get a good*
looking one?one that you will be
proud, to own, proud to drive and
proud to take your friends out: in?
Maxwell owners have a just pride in
the handsome appearance of their
automobile for Maxwell Motor Cars
have the same attractive lines, the
same graceful design as the higher
priced types.
In addition to good looks you
want, of course, a reliable, sturdy and
economical car. But there is no
doubt in your mind on these points
since the Maxwell a short time ago
established the World's Motor Non?
stop Mileage Record. Any car that
can run continuously for 44 days and
nights, averaging 500 miles per day?
22,000 miles in all and without once
stopping the motor?is bound to be a
well designed and well made car.
Any car that can perform such a
wonderful feat on an average of one
gallon of gasoline to every 22 miles is
bound to be an economical car.
We have such confidence in the
Maxwell car and the company be?
hind it that we are willing to sell
these cars on partial payments?
and deliver the car to you when you
make the first deposit. In justice
to yourself you ought to know more
about the Maxwell car and our
pay-as-you-ride plan. All we ask
is the opportunity to tell you.
