R. W. Wcsthcrry Active In Arousing
Them to Necessity of Growing More
Foodstuffs.
R. W. Westberry is meeting with
success on his campaign for the Safe?
ty Committee of Sumter county. 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. He bought
40 packages of corn from O'Donnell
& Co. and se'd them to the people
at the last four places mentioned, to
save them the time and trouble of
coming in and purchasing.
Yesterday he received notice that
Gov. Manning has apponited him, W.
T. Andrews and seven other colored
men in other parts of the State on the
State Central Committee on Prepar?

Mr. D. R. Coker who is chairman of
the State Central Committee, has or?
dered him with the others to meet In
Columbia today. Tomorrow he hopes
to be back to continue his rounds
through the county.
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

LOSES CAR AND GASOLINE,
Ford Track with Five Tanks Ruracd
Saturday?Property of Shaw Motor
Company.
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.

A loud ? xplosion last Thursday

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

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.
