resulted aa follows:
President. Mrs. Nina M. Solomons,
first Vice President, Mrs. Jno. R.
Sumter.
Second Vice President, Miss Kather

Corresponding Secretary, Miss Julia
Obenechain. !
The president's annual report fol?
lows:
I beg to submit this my second an?
nual report to you aa your president.
In so doing t feel first the desire to
apologise for having been absent from
my post for half the year, and sec?
ondly, the desire to express my grati?
tude to your vice president, Mrs. Sum?
ter for havinf so capably and accept?
ably filled th) chair during that time.
Ws have hell nine regular meetings,
at four of w sich I have presided. I
am glad to report that the work has
gone smoothly along. Each year we
feel that the work of the league be?
comes more i-nd more a well dcrltted
factor In the growth and development
of surater. its roots striking deeper,
its Influence, ever widening.
First la importance we consider the
City Norse work, realising that so
much dependi upon good health con?
ditions. Ws devote much time in
teaching the laws of health. We aro
fortunate indeed in being able to re?
tain the services of Miss Gibson, who
has made a phenomenal sucoes of the
work. She reports conditions as be?
ing satisfactory, with the exception of
en increess In the number of typhoid
patients. Two years ago, ahe had only
one. last year only two end MR to this
Rme she has had seven. This,' of
course, Is discouraging, but we hope
that the ordinance recently passed re?
garding the screening of all surface
closets, still ,be speedily enforced,
thereby doing away with the principal
source of Infection. The number of
tubercular and dysentery patients Is
fewer than kUfi year. We have a pa?
tient near eedtr treatment In i tuber?
culosis camp , near Columbia ai a
cost of $90. pet- month, which, is paid
out of tho special fund for tuberculo?
sis. This fund wea raised principally
from ths sale of Red Cross stamps
hers last Decei ib*'. By keeping her
there we feel that we are probably
savins her young children from con?
tracting the disease, since wr. lie she
was at acme site was dependent upon
their ministrations entirely, while in
her prostrate c mdltlon.
The nurse nctlces a marked differ?
ence In the promptness with which her
patients send fer her, showing their
anxiety to take prompt action in car?
ing to their families at ths tirst signs
of trouble, saw a new willingness to
al'ow their sick ones to be taken to
the hospital. We feel that ths Moth?
ers' Club Is s natural outgrowth of
the nurse work The club has held
meetings monthly. The Instructions
gives the mothers by physicians,
nurses or health worker*, are closely
followed up by Miss Gibson, and she
is much encour.iged by the evidences
of better conditions In the homes and
In the care of children.
The league cooperated with trie city
doctors and nurses In having a Bet?
ter Babies Contest here In March, and
the first prise In the class from two
to three years a as taften by a child
who had been a constant charge of our
nurse. We provided a rest room and
refreshments for those taking part on
this occasion.
Deflnlt* progress has been made in
the lib:?,; department durlnf; the
year. Since the library has been made
a public one tho Increased member?
ship has made It necessary that we
lasTssn the salary and the duties of
our librarian. During the year we
have lent out 6,4? 1 books and spent on
hooks IS 1.17 and have paid the first
Installment on the latest edition of
the Encyclopaedia Hrltsnnlca. Wo
bops before another year has passed
that we will havo grown Into a Oat*
nesle library.
Th* health committee cooperates
with the health ?> fleer, and Is ever on
the slert to better the sanitary eon
dttlons of the toe's. In this connec?
tion ws hsd tslks by Dr. Howell. w ho
la here In the government health ser?
vice, and Dr. Ha) ne. State bacterlol
oRhtt from Columbia, upon the oeejf
?ton of the celebration of Rgejsjfaelt)
l>ay. held here Ir, May The Chil?
dren's play grounds will be operate !
us usual this summer, beginning todny.
und continuing through vacation
months, under the direction of a
trained supervisor. We trust that
ifheg the next season opens we will
have srrsnged fo* permanent piny
I rounds, fully ectlpped, and deeded
to the children ot' Sumter forever.
We provided a reel room and aeeuted
dn-ehe* eOAei?4esew-e*w4 of visitors on
County Field Day, held here in April,
.tt-mi assisted Miss I.emmon in arrang?
ing the Canning Club demonstration
.recently held here. The improvement
committee has been handicapped in
their work this spring on account of
the street paving, but continues to
look after certain plots. Plant Day
was held In April. It Is a sour* e of
regret that the Children's Garden Con?
tent beret'* >re conducted by this
c? has been abandoned this
y? i to the lack of interest
shown lasi season both by those enter?
ing the contest, und by those whose |
duty it was to look after the gardens
during the summer and to report at
the fall meeting. I would recommend
another year that this branch be re?
sumed under a different section of i
management as it is a very important
one and should bring rich returns.
We have m .de our usual contribu
tion of 910 to the Winthrop scholar?
ship fund and although we had paid
our portion of the endowment fund of
the Federation, we augmented It
with $3.50 to aid in making up the
amount still due. Public confidence in
our work has been shown repeatedly
during the past year. When we de?
cided to raise the salary of our nurse
In order to retain her services, City
Council came te our assistance with a
monthly appropriation of $25.00. The
Wreck Store kindly gave us 9 per cent,
on all cash purchases in the store for
one day and we realized $36.00. V
gtft of $2*0.44 surplus from the Bob
Jones fund was turned over to us; also
$4.84 from Furman & Co. of New
York through the Sumter Clothing
Co.. Through the kindness of Mr.
Miller of the Box Theatre we made
$:{.'..00 for the library fund.
! By the timely aki of three of our
public spirited citizens, who contribut?
ed $25.00 each, we are able to operate
the play grounds for the season, and
last but not least we acknowledge a
gift of $8.000 from Mr. H. J. Harby,
the interest from which U to be used
I for charitable purposes. Wo have
used $$?.00 of this money this year in
providing bread and milk lunches
dally fer undernourished school chil?
dren, and their teachers assure us
that there Is a marked Improvement
[both In their physical condition and
their ability to do better work. I will
not close the list of our benefactors
without mentioning with gratitude the
[continued kindness of The Daily Item,
I the columns of which are ever open to
lua and service of. which Is Invaluable.
I Before closing this report 1 would
[recommend that the members of the
lleaguo wake up to their duties as
1 members, and realige the responsibili?
ties resting upon them as citizens and
Ihomemakers; realize that there Is so
[much to be done, In so many ways, If
we would only take advantage of the
opportunities about us, and help to
make our town and community the
very best place in which to live. We
are not lacking in intelligence, v/e are
[not wanting in ambition or pride, and
we appreciate and enjoy the good
and beautiful things of life when they
are bestowed upon us. But what we
do lack woefully, Is concerted action,
team work, unity of purpose, the
I surest and quickest way to success. Let
us adopt a motto like that of our own
great nation: "In union there is
strength." When work such as we
have undertaken to do fulls upon a
few, it rests heavily, and goes slowly,
and truly our work has grown to
such proportions that your president,
supported by a faithful few, cannot
do it Justice. She wants the keynote
of this message to be a plea for bet?
ter support and cooperation. Though
the 'vork may. come under the herd of
public service. It none the less has to
do with our private lives directly.
When wo make our city beuutlful we
create a Joy for now and all time. In
looking after the sanitation we pre?
serve the health of one another.
When we provide a public library, we
furnish one of the greatest factors for
uplift.
The Children's Play Grounds affords
a mooting place for hundreds of little
ones through the long vacation days,
where they are given the benefit of
well directed pluy. It has been said,
und I believe truly, that when there is
a sufficient number of play grounds
there will be no need of Juvenile
courts. From an economic standpoint
It pays to look after tho children dur?
ing their play or leisure hours. In
extending the hand of Interest and
kindness to our sisters less fortunate
than ourselves, wo a.re doing the kind
of welfare work which brings the host
lesults in teaching people to do for
themselves prope rly, you teach them
to do for each other, and that makes
for the best citizenship.'
There is one other recommenda?
tion that I would offer, namHy, that
the league go on reeord as approving
tile establishment of a county camp
for tubercular patients, also that It
work toward tho consummation of
this most necessary measure. Since
we have ulways stood for heulth and
the conservation of human life, this is
directly In our sphere of, actlvily. I
1 alize that this is a big undertaking
r-?iu!ring no end of work, organisa?
tion and money, to carry through
icreasfully, but other enterprises ns
important have materialised from just
??eh agitation, end'the time Is rips to
begin. It is with a sense of regret
that 1 present my resignation as pres?
ident of the league, because 1 have en
Joyed the work, and feel that I will
be lonely without the pleasant com?
panionship of the office and its duties,
which have been very close t,o my
heart these past two years. But oth?
er duties have intervened, and too, I
believe strongly in rotation In office,
placing the central interest in differ?
ent channels. In closing I wish to as?
sure you, my co-workers of the ap?
preciation I feel for the kindness end
assistance given me during my term
of office, and to offer to my successor
a pledge of earnest support. With all
good wishes for the continued welfare
and prosperity of this organization,
which I deemed it an honor to serve,
I respectfully submit this report. |

President.

manded by Gen. Punston, Gen. Per
shing and Major General J. F. Bell.
Gens. Pershing and Bell will report

The Sumter County Gallants.
(Adopted by Mass Meeting of the
citizens of Sumter, June 30th, 1916.)
To the Sumter County Gallants In the
war with Mexico, 1916:
I'm only row an "ex-Confed"
Hut glory in the spunk
Of the Sumter county Gallants
Who know not how to mink.
They follow In the foot-steps
Of the braves of Forty-six,
And will qualify as soldiers
in the training camp at Styx.
And with other Carolinians
As Palmettos they will go
To plant Old Glory firmly
< >n the walls of Mexico.
<>r to whip the vandals soundly
So that they will ne'er forget
To stay within their borders
And behave themselves "you bet."
Magnanimous as Bumter
They will treat a wounded foe
As the (lame Cock treated Wemys
In the days of long ago. (At the
flehdam ford in 1780.)
And when the war is over
They Will homeward proudly go
Escutcheons Just as stainless
As the freshly lallen snow.
?Thus. K. Richardson.

Hains Fall All Around, but None
Full at Salem.
Salem, Black River, July 1.?The
iains seem to fall everywhere but here
at Salem. There have been threaten?

few drops fell on us while the good
rains fall somewhere else.
On Wednesday at New Harmony
church, there was a most impressive
ceremony, when, the Presbytery of
Harmony "by the laying on of hands
and prayer" ordained Henry Lide
Reaves to be an evangelist. Mr.
Reaves preached his trial sermon in |
the morning. After dinner Rev. L. L. j
Legters of Bishopville preac led the
most powerful missionary sermon that
I ever heard. Then came the ordi?
nation. Mr. Reaves will go to the
foreign field just as soon as the Pres?
byterian committee can send him.
Money is lacking now.
Rev. W. H. Mills of Clemson, whose
early ministry was at this church, was
present by invitation and took part in
the services.
James McBride Dabbs is at home

Three Negro Convicts Caught.
Three of the negro convicts who
escaped from the State farm on Fri?
day night have been captured and
were returned to the farm. They
were Henry Martin, sent up for two
years from Charleston county for lar?
ceny; Robert Knight, Berkeley coun?
ty, ten years for manslaughter; Pri?
mus McAdams, life, Charleston coun?
ty, for burglary and larceny.
It was learned Saturday afternoon
that two of the negroes had been seen
near Dalzcll and the officers renewed
tbeir search In that vicinity, but with?
out success. Mr. John A. Boykin
waited and one of the men finally
came out of the woods and he took
chArge of him. The other man went
to a house at Borden to ask for some?
thing to eat and was held up until
the officers could roach the scene.
Sunday afternoon Policeman Ward
noticed Primus McAdams on Harvin
street acting in a suspicious manner,
lie at once arrested him and found
him to be one of the escaped con?
victs. He was dressed in old ragged
clothes which he had evidently pick?
ed up along the road somewhere. On
Monday Mr. Ward took McAdams
back to the State farm. McAdams
is an old man. He told the officers
that ho was sent up from Charleston
county when quite young, hut that
he had escaped and had been ar?
rested in Georgia, where he served for
25 years. He was released, but ar?
rested again shortly afterwards and
returned to South Carolina, where
he has been serving out his life sen?
tence, until his escape Friday night.

j:. W. I>ul)bs Tells or Trip by Fowl to
and From Kock Hill?Says Lee
County Has Host Roads and Crops
in Mue Counties lie Has Visited.
Salem, Black River, July I,?T^ast
Monday the writer took a party of la?
dies to Rock Hill to attend the Club
Women and House Keepers' courses
of the summer school. We went by
Ford and there were five of us and
three sluit cases. We left home at
6:45 and reached Winthrop college
at 2:15, a distance of about 115 miles.
If all the road had been as good as
the oO miles in Lee county the trip j
I could easily be made in four hours, or I
if the road in Lancaster had been as
good as the Kershaw road the trip j
would not require over 5 hours. From
Kershaw nearly to Lancaster the
road was being worked and it was a
constant thing to low gear to pull
through the mud, while the danger of
skidding was so great that a speed of
over 10 miles per hour was not safe.
Beyond Lancaster the road was hard
but very rough.
We were told at Lancaster that
there was a fearful hill going down to
Catawba river, half a mile long with
60 per cent, grade and a bad turn at
the bottom to the bridge. If we had
not lost so much time by the mud be?
tween Kershaw and Lancaster, or if
the main highway to Charlotte had
been what we expected, we would
have gone 50 miles out of our way to
miss this terrible hill. What was our
relief when we reached the hill to
find it not over 200 yards long and not
too steep to stop the car at any point
on it by the use of the hand and
I foot brakes. Of course if a car were
t oget away from the driver it would
be a miracle if car and occupants were
not hurled across the log railing at
1 the bend fifty feet over into the river.
The scene was worth all the trouble
land anxiety. From the bridge to
I Rock Hill the road was hard and
reasonably smooth, but too curved for
a speed of more than 15 or 20 miles
per hour.
The next morning two of us left
Rock Hill at 9 o'clock coming by way
of Chester, Winnsboro and Ridgeway,
crossing the Southern railway twenty
times In a distance of about 50 miles.
At Ridgeway we turned eastward, for
J the 29 miles to Camden, coming
through Longtown six or eight miles
lof sand road along a ridge pretty
thickly settled. On the left we could
see the red rocky hills of Fairfleld and
across the river Liberty Hill and the
hills of Lancaster and Kershaw. On
the right the sand hills of Kershaw
and Rlchland.
About a hundred yards from the
line between Fairfleld and Kershaw
we stopped for water, and the hos?
pitable owner, Mr. Sanders, gave us
some of the finest peaches we ever
saw. We were surprised to find him
and a neighbor so enthusiastic for the
"shoe string" county that Is proposed
to be set up from the Kershaw line
to the North Carolina line and from
the Catawba river westward to within
8 miles of Winnsboro, Chester and
York court house. "Why man it is
60 miles from here to Rock Hil, what
will you gain by such a change?"
"Everything to gain and nothing to
lose. Several roads have been aban?
doned because the county will\ not
keep up the bridges on big creeks
that empty into the river. The chain
gang has not worked the roads
j through here in 16 years. A court
house ring at Winnsboro takes all the
offices and all the road work is done
nearby." "Well, Rock Hill will do
you the same way." "No she wont.
Rock Hill does things. There will be
several times the wealth In the ne
{county per square mile than there is
now in Fairfleld. We can not be any
worse off and we expect to be much
better off." They gave us the figures,
but I have forgotten. They also said
"you will lind the roads good in Ker?
shaw county." A short time after
leaving Mr. Sanders we ran Into the
rains that we had been seeing off to
our right aud left for an hour, and
from there to three miles above
Mayesville we came for five hours in
the rain. Some places the water was
running down the road or across it
like a creek. We stopped an hour in
Camden during one of the hardest of
the showers, a half hour In Blshop
Ville during another downpour, a half
hour In Mayesville and a half hour be?
fore the rain talking with Mr. San?
ders. Reached home at 7:30, eleven
and a-half hours from the time we
left Rock Hill, actual running lime of
9 hours for 140 miles as near as we
could count It.
From Bishopville we came toward
Sumter for a mile and then turned
down by the McCutcben's and Mt.
Klon church. In the McCutehcn
neighborhood we saw the finest corn
of the whole trip, there were three
fields of 20 or more acres each (it
was raining so we could not see how
large they were) that looked good for
60 to 100 bushels per acre. Qood
Sturdy stalks, close in the drill, nearly
all silked out, one to two ears de?
veloping, and so far advanced that the
rain of Tuesday afternoon insures a
crop.
In the last two weeks I have been
in Lexington, Rlchland, Fairfleld,
Chester, York, Lancaster, Kertl?w,.
Lee and Sumter. I^ee has the best
roads and the best crops. Bishopvilie
ought to be a metropolis (?) some (
day, for I have never seen any town
so surrounded with fine lands and
progressive farmers, nor with as good
roads leading into it from four direc?
tions.
Next in quality of roads is Kersl aw,
with York a close second. But for the
poor road through the "black jack"
section of lower York, I would put
York ahead of Kershaw. The nation?
al highway in Lexington, Richl.ind
and Lancaster was a disappointment
to me. Another disappointment was
the lack of i*oad markers in York,
Chester, Fairfield and .Sumter.
We went up the road from Rock
Hill toward York as far as old Ebe?
nerer church. This is perhaps the
prettiest suburban settlement in the
State. Then to the Winthrop farm
by one of the show alfalfa farms of
Rock Hill. Soon after we crossed
the river into York we passed by al?
falfa patches and they are scattered
11 along through Chester and Fair
Held.
Camden, Rock Hill and Winnsboro
have beautiful streets and handsome
residences, but the only advantages
saw over Sumter are in the width
of the streets, the spacious grounds,
and the undulating lands that open
new vistas at every turn. I would
like to mention all the good farming
sections that impressed me, but tikis
letter is too long. E. W. D.
