the spirit of charity and for the pur?
pose of giving.
Many gallant knights are already

reunite assistance.
To meet the demands that have
been made upon the order, a Great

No unwilling dollars can he receiv?
ed, but each true Knight is expected
to be willing and able to give one
dollar, or more, promptly to the
cause.

ter. S. C*i is expected to raise, and will
raise, two hundred dollars of this
amount
The committee appointed for this
work in the local lodge is- composed

John W. Moore, of Durham, N. C. !

bacco beds, sow seed, protect beds 1
I
and how and when to set out the to- , <
bacco plants. The seed will be here <
and distributed from the Chamber Ol 1
Commerce by next Saturday.
The Importance Of planting tobac?
co as an extra cash crop, along wit!,
wheat und other grain, oats and core *
particularly, and planting of soy and j'
velvet beans, peanuts, etc.. ami tin
raising Of greater numbers of hog"
and chickens is being urged by the
Sumter County Council of Defens- '
and the Sumter Chamber of Com M
msres, as a guarantee against short-'1
age of money in the event that tin
; next cotton crop should be short o.
cotton prices go down, and in orde: 1
that farmers will have plenty to oa( ?
and sure money with which to pay foi M
food that can't he raised and which
will cost war prices. Thousands ol
farmers scooped in big piles of mono
on their tobacco crops this past sum

A number of people here would Hivt

possible to get labor in the country at

Wheat and oat planting is going on
Some have planted more and others
It BS, than last year. It is reported
that a number of people will plant
ill cotton next year and get monej
while cotton is high, running the risk
ibout the future prices.
A number ot papers are continually
{peaking about so much money in the
lOUntry. What money went to pay
tor two and three prices for provis
ons and other things. The crop Is
ihort, shorter than Is now known. If
icople have so much money there will
>o no need to borrow any next year.
\iut watch the banks and see if peoph
borrow any.
Before asking the people to econ

world, the government should set a
Worthy example In economy. If re?
ports are correct the soldier camps
are perfect spots of extravagance

the soldier boys of anything for their
comfort and maintenance, but eeon

when we have the world to feed. The
