He is using the slogan, "Grow Corn or go Hungry." The situation is being seriously taken by every person who hears him. Every township in which he has gone, many white citizens turned out to hear him, and endors? ed what he said. He is making his itinerary just as programed in the item last Monday. He has already spoken at the follow? ing places: Willow Grove Church, Horatio section, Good Will Church, Mayesville section, St. John and As berry churches, Shiloh section, Beth? el church, Rafting Creek section. Richardson school, Middleton sec? tion, Bloom Hill school, Manchester section, St. Paul and Mulberry churches, Concord section.

IS IT "JTST A COLD"? Sumter People Should Ask Themselves This Question. Don't say: "It's just a cold." It may turn into backache, rheu? matic aches, achy joints. Or other serious sickness that comes from weak kidneys. Colds arc due to congestion. Congestion makes the kidneys over? work to filter the blood. Colds often leave the kidneys weak. First break the cold; Then use Doan's Kidney Pills to avert the kidney dangers. Let this Sumter resident tell you about them. Li. J. Boniface, iron moulder, 110 Kendrick Street, says: "Heavy lifting brought on kidney trouble and my back became so stiff and lame that I could hardly stoop. I had dizzy headaches and the kidney secretions annoyed me by passing too freely. The least cold I caught settled on my kidneys and made mo worse. When I read about Doan's Kidney Pills, I tried them and they removed all signs of the trouble." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy? >t Doan's Kidney rills?the same that Mr. Boniface had. Foster-Mllburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

The Ford truck belonging to the the Shaw Motor Company with live ten-gallon gasoline tanks were burned i Saturday about noon, when the gas line spilt out of the cans and this got to the engine of the car, igniting and causing a tremendous lire. Charles Shaw, a son of Mr. D. C. Shaw, own? er of the Shaw Motor Company, was running the truck at the time it caught tire, a companion being in the car with him. The cans were pushed off the truck by the two boys, and of course they with the gasoline, each of the live be? ing nearly full, were destroyed. The rear part of the car was burnt, butt the front part suffered little damage. The engine was uninjured. One of | the front tires was scorched. Prob? ably the biggest loss was that of the gasoline and the live tanks. Important Notice. Do not forget to hear Hon. Jno. IfcLaurfn on Saturday morning at 11 o'clock at the i X urt House. Ls> dies are invited to attend this meet? ing. A loud ? xplosion last Thursday night shocked Birmingham. Many of the residents thought that a German i i?y had done some evil. It was Ira med, however, that a switchman, with an Uncovered torch, peered into gasoline ca r. and an explosion fol? lowed that was heard for a distance away. No dnn. ine was done except to the nerves of the switchman. It 11 l istrated all over again that gasoline and fire won't mix very well.?The Southern Underwriter. Then feed your stock a ration Of COTTON SEED MEAL, with Corn. Dr. Tait Butler says that if you are feeding your mule II lbs. of corn per day, you can take our four pounds and put in two pounds of Cotton Seed Meal and get better results. \ Four pounds of Corn is worth 12 Cents today. Two pounds of Cotton Seed Meal is worth 4 cents?a saving of 8 cents per day and each animal fed. In 365 days you would save $29.20, if you put into practice the advice of ?r Butler, who is conceded to be the higest authority on feeds and feeding. It is as necessary to SAVE as it is to PRODUCE. and "saving" and producing" are the watchwords of today. In The Progressive Farmer, Mach 24th. 1917, Dr. Butler recom? mends the following ration for work stock when Cotton Seed meal is used: (1) 1 Part, Cotton Seed Meal by weight to 5 parts of Corn. (2) 1 Part Cotton Seed Meal to 4 parts Corn, 4 parts Oats. (3) 1 Part Cotton Seed Meal lo 10 parts Oats. A pint to a quart daily will produce koocI res ilts. To be fed with the usual quantities of grass, hiy, corn-foddcr, etc. These are war times. Corn is a human food. Better save it.
