The committee in chargo of the

serving lunches to those who drop in.
Lemonade, ice tea, and sandwiches
are served. Two very attractive tables
have been nrrunged by th?> ladies for
the lunchers and everybody is Invited
to come in and be serv with re?
freshments, while he Is being cooled
off by funs lent by the Dixie Electric

however, that these lunches will be
served only for a few days until the
material arrives which is to be made
into sheets, pillow cases, and oth?r
things for our soldier boys who will
be at the front.
For the making of these things, the
Singer Company, M. B. Handle and

These machines will be run by mo?

doing shopping down town, who find
that they ha* . some spare time, arc

The Marketing of Crops.
Editor Daily Item.
The call of our president to pro?
duce larger food crops has stirred the
patriotism of our farmers in every
section of our great country and they
are responding nobly.
The average farmer Is not only
raining a sufficient amount for the
ne<ds of his own family, but will
have some to spare. How to market
this surplus at a reasonable probt si
giving the farmer of the South no
small concern just now. To chung?
from nn all cotton preduction to the
raising of perishuble foods for man
und food for l>easts will require an .41!
around readjustment.
on account of this quirk change tin
careful farmer will go slow for the
lirsi year or two until he is assured
that his surplus will find a market at
a fair profit for hla labor, therefore
the surplus of tho average farmer
will not always be large enough to
Justify him in putting up In proper
Isise marketable packages, hence he
must have some pluce where he can
dispose of his produce in bulk.
There are just two things that are
indispensable to fill the need in this re?
adjustment, the cooperative canning
factory, and the produce commission
house. Roth of these should be in
every county seat in the State.
The canning factory will pay hand?
some returns on tne investment. The
writer knows of one community where
$500,000 worth of strawberries went
to waste in one season for the lack of
a canning factory.
The farmer must be willing to ac?
cept the wholesale market price for
his produce, or he content to sell it
from house to house, and when the
reason is well on he will likely find
tho local market glutted. The pro?
duce merchant buys the load, grades
tho product carefully and packs in
proper size packages lor market. Af?
ter the readjustment is (Irmly estab?
lished the farmer should do the grad?
ing and packing which will pay large
returns for the time and trouble, as
his products will be easily sold at top
prices. The commission merchant is
In constant touch with the markets of
tho North and East. There Is a great
future for the commission merchant In
the South. Even after the war Is
over the ravages of the boll weevil
will make all cotton farming hazard?
ous.
Provision should e made without
delay to conserve, ttils year's surplus
to the advantage of the farmer. The
"UHlneMs of the hanker and merchant
will depend upon it.

Campaign for War Fund I Win* Push?
ed Vigorously by Mnyesville Auxil?

Tho Mayosville Red (Voss commit?
tee is working enthusiastically in the
campaign for the lied Cross War Fund
and tho people of that town are mak?
ing liberal contribution! In response
to the solicitation! of tho commu?
tes. Up to noon today the committee
had secured subscription! aggregat?
ing $527 and the campaign is not
nearly finished. If the city of Sum
tor does as well as Mayosville. in pro?
portion to population, and if tho oth?
er sections of the county follow suit,
tho Game Cock county will not only
raise tho $7,000 allotted to this county
hut will do as Clarendon and Lancas?
ter and, perhaps, other South Caro?
lina counties, and as hundreds of oth?
er towns and counties in all parts of
the United States are doing?over?
subscribe the allotment fixed by the
National committee, The noon report
from Mayosville was decidedly heart?
ening to the central committee and
encouraged the local committees
working here in the city to put forth
redoubled efforts to make a thorough
canvass of the City and to swell the
fund to as large proportions as pos?
sible, so that Sumter should not have
to take second place to Mayosville.
The Cantonment Problem.
Greenville News.
"Valuable time has been lost in
preparing for the construction of the
sixteen -great cantonments at which
the first national army will be quart?
ered during the initial days of train?
ing," is the comment of the Wash?
ington correspondent of the Boston
Transcript,, who points out that, with
the middle of June at hand, camp
sites have just been selected and the
construction work has not started
it a single camp, although "in little
more than two months these camps,
large enough to quarter forty thou?
sand men each must be completed."
The task of location and construc?
tion has not been delegated to one
man or one board in supreme author?
ity. The result has boon that usually
ittendant upon division and diffusion
of authority. "There lias been no
head or tail to the start of the work
and it is. next to Impossible to place
responsibility for the delay." When
it was decided to build sixteen camps,
the commanders of the several mili?
tary districts were instructed to so
lect the sites in their districts. The
'ommander appointed a board which
reported to him after making selec?
tions. He reported to the War Col
iege, the War College reported to the
assistant chief of staff, the assistant
?hlef of staff reported to the acting
?hlef of staff and the acting chief ol
;taff reported to the Secretary of
W ar, according to the Transcript cor
respondent, who is of the opinion
that "had tho report been made dl
reel to one engineering officer or an
engineering board, all of the sites
would have been selected long before
'his time." Such was tho statement
made by a high department militari
official, who said that the task might
have driven the man in supreme au?
thority to a sanatorium, but never?
theless it Would have been worth the
price.
Tho. period for criticism will come
on September 1 if the camps are not
ready for the drafted regiments by
that time, is a further assertion. Of?
ficials, doubtful as they are, hope
that some human dynamo will be
discovered to direct the work, it is
stated, As far ai actual time is in?
volved, tIiis: is the biggest task yet
attempted. In two months and a
half more money will be spent on the
camps than went into the construc?
tion of the Panama Canal In any one
year. Bach camp will have a thou?
sand buildings, ample water supply,
the best of sewerage, streets, roads
and railroads. Thirty-eight hundred
carloads of materials will be required
for each cantonment, while thirteen
hundred cars "will cany the 86,000,
000 feet of lumber needed to build
each camp." The only thing that can
be said now is that it seems next to
impossible to finish the work by Sep?
tember 1. is the parting word of the
Transcript correspondent.

POSTOFPICK LIGHTS.
Secretary ileardoii and Postmaster
I>i? U Explain and Elucidate Pre?
vious Pommerns.
In a statement to the supervising
architect of the United States treas?
ury, and to the Sumter Daily Item
about the electric lights not being lit
at the Sumter pOstOfllCO, referring
more particularly to the four arc lights
on the outsido of the building, Secre?
tary IS, [, Reardon said: "Postmaster
Dick informed Secretary ttaardon
that he had been ordered to cut out
the outside arc lights and that this
was done to cut down the expenses."
Postmaster (loo. W. Dick has called
Mr. Reardon's attention to a discrep?
ancy In this statement which the post?
master thinks should be corrected as it
does the supervising architect's of?
fice an injustice and misquotes Post?
master Dick. Secretary Roardon has
had the Sumter postmaster to dic?
tate his own version of the eonvcrsn
tlon which has also undertaken i?'
give further information about thi:
mattcr as per Dr. Dick's own state?
ment verbatim.
Dr. Dick said in his last statement
to the secretary:
"At the beginning Of my adminis?
tration all four outside arc lights were
turned on until 12 o'clock, midnight.
But at the suggestion of an inspector
of the treasury department which
owns and maintains the building,
these llghti Which were simply for or
najment were ordered cut down to very
short hours, and on my own accord
they were ordered cut out entirely.
It was shown by the treasury de?
partment that a little saving at each
office meant the saving of many thou
amis of dollars per month In thell
thousands of public buildings.
The department stressed the fad
that the motto of this office which if
"efficiency" must be maintained, and
to bring about a still higher degree oi
same, the former system of lighting
was removed, at great expense and an
?ther combination system of gas an 1
electric lights was installed.
Furthermore a contract has jtl
been Closed to have even this system
augmented by more lights, this for ttu
benefit of the working force.
The postmaster stated further that
"he was glad always to have the pat
r ins of the office come to him, a pub?
lic servant, to bring any of the short?
comings of the office to his attention,
but always let the criticism fall where
.t justly belongs."
The treasury department, In other
words, the supervising architect's of?
fice, hap always given not only at?
tentive ear to what the Sumter post
niaster hud to say In his various trips
to the dspar nent, but has without
exception granted every request that
bo has ever made.
Therefore, the supervising archi?
tect's office is absolutely beyond crlt
Icism, and on more than one occasion
the postmaster has been cemgratulat
ed by the various engineers and In*
I pec tors wdio have been sent here, not
only on the quality, but the quantity
?>f the varlou* affairs of utility and or?
nament that this office has received.
Economy Is the watchword of the
poatoffice and treasury departments
But at the same time the fact that It
must not he false economy bus been
stressed by threse two departments,
maintaining by precept and example
that "the best is the cheapest."
