However, the campaign b? fmn officially today and on all sides with) their Red and Pink.

The meeting opened promptly at 4 o'clock when the young ladles com? posing the U A. C. club began their excellent program. A number of well chosen selections were rendered, when Dr. 8. H. Edmunds, who presid? ed during the exercises, called on the Rev. Dr. J. H. Wilson for the invo? cation. Dr. Edmunds then introduc? ed the speaker of the occasion, Dr, t>. W. Daniele, as one well known and highly appreciated In Sumter, who had been to Bumter on several pre? vious occasions, and one always re ' eeived with pleasure by a Sumter and? iente. Dr. V>entels expressed his pleasure fta ?hg present, saying that the nu? merous dlffloultiee he had met and overcome in getting to Sumter won, considered insignificant beside the ? pleasure he felt at being allowed to face so magnificent an audience. He referred to hie former visits to Sumter hi a pleasing manner, and began his address with a number of well se? lected jokes told In his Inimitable style, which caught the attention of the audien-- And held it throughout his short talk. Dr. Daniela' aubject was "Ttv Measure of a Man." He said that many people had a wrong Idea of tha valves of things In life and therefore their attitude to many of these vi tally Important things was a wrong one. He stated that the most common measure of a man was "How much money he made." hut he thought this was the lowest of all meaaures of n man. He said the two highest me;' ?ree of the value of a man were the gorvlus he rendered, and the height" ef hie Ideale and how hard he strove to attain them. He referred to the Young Man's Christian Association a* one of the most Important and vital factors in building up great men. It eared for his physical, mo-ai and meets I faculties and did a m:> Coat werk towards turning out bl? men for the community. "A great man Is coming to Sumter some day," heaeld. "i don't know who ho is, I don't know when he Is coming, nd T don't know where he la. but I know Where v >u won't And him." he de clared "You won't find him in th?> pool room, you won't find him In the gambling joint, or on the street cor? ner; you won't find him Jn question* able places, I know that much about him/' In measuring a man, Dr Daniels mid that he thought a man ought to make all the money ho eou'd gut he ought to epend it wisely, and he did not know of any way In which C man could spend It morn wi- !-. than In supporting the Y. M. C. A Dr. Daniele spoke only for about twenty minutes, aa he had to catch r tnUn He made the best address hf has over msde In Sumter, and the! Is saying a great deal, for all of 1.' addresses here have been splcrd'd gees. Many persons In the audi- > ire heard t?? remark after t?'e ?<\ r that they wished he could b?V< epoken for a half hour, or t longer. Immediately following the gddrts* the Ia A. C. orchestra played *ov< v giore selections, while Mr. Jem In - was preparing for a business sera'on gupt. Edmunds stated that Mr Je slags would conduct the session, n someone remarked that It was lh first time the mayor had ever been called on that he did not respond at once. Ho did come, however, in a short while and made himself felt when he did speak. Mr. Jennings had returned from Texas, where he has been for the past two weeks, early ki the morning, after an all night ride from Columbia in a Ford car, but ho was equal to the emergency. He stated that in the seVeral Texas towns he had been in they were hav? ing V. M. C. A. campaigns, so tho T. M. C. A. campaign was not some thing confined to this city. He stated that the association each year had a deficit Of about $1,500 over the in? come received from memberships and dormitory rents. This had to be paid up fcy subscriptions of the people of I Sumtor or the association could not I continue to do its work. The pe pie had erected the association and It WHS up to them to say whether it should be continued, or allowed to discon? tinue Its work. He put the matter to a vote and there was a unanimous vote to continue the association. He then called for subscriptions, saying that twenty fifty dollar subscriptions, thirty twenty-five dollar subscriptions and flfty ten dollar subscriptions were needed to pay the Indebtedness of the building. He read a list of those giving one hundred dollars a year, a stated that several citizens had already given subscriptions to meet the deficiency. As soon as the subscriptions were called for several subscriptions of $50 were announced and others followed in quick succession. There were sev ervl subscriptions of $25, and more of $10 subscriptions. Between the in? tervals of calling for subscriptions se? lections were played by the orchestra When the final count was made it W1S found that there had been fifteen fifty dollar subscriptions, twenty twenty five dollar subscribers and thirty-two ten dollar subscriptions, several of the latter being made by ladies. The total amount subscribed was $1,570, which Is enough to meet the deficit for the fiscal year which ends today. Those subscribing to the Y. M. C.

Steadily increasing production made possible savings and economies which steadily reduced costs and repeatedly established new values. Eight yea.s ago, with a net worth of little more than $50,000 this com? pany produced 465 cars. This year, with a net worth of over $68,000,000 we must produce over 200,000 cars to fill our dealers' contracts. It has required an enormous invest? ment in plant and equipment to prepare for this enormous produc? tion. The prime requisite in the automobile industry is still foresight and cour? age. Mr. Willys foresees a demand this year in excess of the possible supply. In addition to enormous investment in plant and equipment Mr. Willys had the courage to contract long l ago for enormous quantities of raw ' materials-?$35,000,000 worth al? ready in hand fcr this year's record production. ^ See all this reflected values we have to show you in the most comprehensive line of cars ever built by any one producer.'

SANTEE FERRY SEEMS ASSURED. Brccdin Encouraged After Conference in Charleston. Charleston, March 18.?It is very probable that the ferry across Santee river will be in operation within a few weeks, unless prevented by causes not foreseen. This will enable hundreds of motorists to drive from the Pee Dee to Charleston in time for the height of the season at Magnolia gardens. Mr T. K. Breedln, of Manning, who is promoting this present ferry plan, was in Charleston Friday in confer? ence with some ship men, relative to the ferry boat. The Sunday News is informed that a boat has been offered which will meet every requirement, and Mr. Breed in expects to have no difficulty in financing the enterprise. "It is not an undertaking for profit, primarily," said Mr. Breedin, but a needed public utility that should be provided at once. It is likely that the ferry will yield a profit in time, if some disaster doesn't overtake it, but the real impulse of us all is to pro? vide the passage across the Santee and thereby bridge a gap that sepa? rates all the Pee Dee from Charles? ton. "This undertaking, I hope, will have the financial support of a few Charleston men so that the several largest communities in direct con? nection may be represented. To two classes of Charleston men this makes special appeal; to the business man having traveling representatives, and tho public-spirited man who wants t<> see people from Marion, Dillon, Marl? boro, Darlington, Florence, Sumter and Clarendon counties travel more frequently to Charleston in automo? biles. "Tho Santee separates Clarendon from Charleston as effectively now as though it were a Chinese wall, and that wall is what keeps us all from Charleston. Whatever we do mu?t be done quickly. Manning, Summerton and Ellorec will respond liberally. If Charleston joins, <he ferry will be in operation in a very short time."
