Committee on Patriotic Mass Mooting
liana for Series of Meetings,
it Is no bail idea of the Sumter
County Council of Defense to bring
the people ol every township, and
the people of the city and the country
together In cornbinatlon^patriotic mass
meetings and entertainments at which
refreshments will he served, musical
and vocal numbers rendered, and
practical us well as patriotic speech?
es delivered.
Men, women, boys and girls all love
the social feature of life. Every one
is. or should be interested In the or?
ganization of school districts, town?
ships, and counties in helping to win
the war. Hundreds of people will
gather to enjoy an entertainment of
a varied and interesting program,
and to meet each other, have a good
time, and at the same time pay a
small sum for entertainment and re?
freshments, while listening to one ot
two short talks on the needs of the
government, where comparatively
few will gather to listen to business
or patriotic talks.
The County Council of Defense
plans to hold combination meetings
and entertainments at such centers of
commerce and education as Concord,
Graham. Bhlloh, Du Hose. Salem, Lone
Oak. Mayesville, Oswego, Dalzell.
Rembert, Trinity, Hagood, Wedgefleld,
Bethel, Providence, Pleasant Grove,
Stateburg, Horatio, General Sumter
and other rural schools yet to he se?
lected, at which there will he held
patriotic mass meetings with enter?
tainments which will incidental^
bring financial benefit to any local or?
ganisation selected by the good peo?
ple of the districts, such as the loca'
Red Cross, Home Demonstration club
local school society for school equip
ment, libraries, church or charltabh
purposes, etc.
Doubtless hundreds of Sumter city
men and women will gladly motoi
out during the balmy spring nights t<
Join with their country friends ir.
pleasant social intercourse, and pa
trlotio affiliation. Any community ii
this county is at liberty to arrangi
such an entertainment to suit its owi
needs and likes, and the county coun
ell of defense will arrange fo.
the speakers who will deliver shor.
talks, and there will he only one o;
two such short talks.
Such committees as desire to pu
on such entertainment are requester
to communicate with the followim I
committee of the County Council o
Defense: Mr. D. D. Moise, Mr. L. D
Jennings, A. C. Phelps, of Sumter.
Mr. H. Drane Tlndal, of Tlndals; Rev
J. W. Klklns, of Oswego; Mr. C. J
Juckson. Horatio, or tho Sumtei
Chamber of Commerce.
Of course the Council of Defcnst
can not hold such combination event:
unless the ladies and gentlemen of th<
respective districts express a desire
that such meetings and entertainments
be ?o held, and It is up to the peo
iple of the neighborhoods Interestec
to get busy planning such affairs, set
ting the dates, and notifying the com
mittee above mentioned.
It is desired that these meetings b<
held within the next two weeks, 01
sooner If possible.
L. W? Folsom.
The death of Mr. Lawrence W. Fol?
som. announced yesterday, was v
matter of jurpi'ls? to some of hh
friends, and a cause of grief to all o.
them. Only last week he was on the
streets and at his businoss, so that hi:
serious illness was unknown to many
Mr. Folsom was born In Sumter Oc?
tober 30th, 1859, and spent his en?
tire life in this community. From
boyhood h? was identified with IU
life and activities.
He learned the watch and jewelry
business under his brother, Mr. F.
Haltom Folsom, at whose death about
thirty years ago he became
sole propristf of the business and
continued it to the last day ol
his life. His strict integrity brought
him a Valuable asset, and he
had the confidence und esteem
of his patrons, Ry habits of indust r\
and prudence, he accumulated a
considerable propeity.
Many yenrs ago he acquired sole
ownership of tho ancestral home
where he was born, and remodelled
It into a modern residence. Theft he
had his home for life, and died be
ncntli the roof, where llrst he saw tin
light of day. He was a faithful and
consistent member of Trinity Method?
ist church where he redeemed
through all his life the promises he
had made at her altar, in childhood,
to support her InStitutOflS and attend
upon her services. In his quiet, un?
assuming' mannet of living, in b:
faithfulness to family and friends. t<>
church and State, he has left a An?
example of ths Christian citizen.
Mr. Folsom is survived by his wife,

Buy Them And
Help Win The War
FOR SALE EVERYWHERE
The War Savings Committee has
worked out a comprehensive line of
action lor the next two weeks, that
is to culminate in Thrift Day, March
26th. Patriotic citizens are asked to
purchase stamps and to induce oth?
ers to purchase stamps by forming
agencies that will give an impetus to
stamp purchasing.
A letter has been addressed to all
school teachers, trustees, members ol
the Council of Defense, ministers
and other citizens telling of the move?
ment and of the part they are expect?
ed to play. The plan for the districts
outside of the city centers on the
school house. In the territory of each
school house' the citizens are asked tc
form at least two war savings so?
cieties; and it is asked that in each
school that there be formed by the
pupils at least two war savings so?
cieties. The friendly rivalry that the
members will hold for each other, and
that the societies will hold for each
other, and that finally the school dis?
tricts will hold for each other will g/ivc
great impetus to the buying of stampt
and aiding the country. It -is asked
that these societies keep records ol
what they do and send these in aftet
the 26th. The records of the society
and school accomplishments will 1>p
read out at the county school day ex
ercises which are l.o be held some time
in April.
To crown the work of the period
every school territory is asked to hob
sometime on the 26th Thrift Day ex?
ercises. Each school can, of -course
decide on its own program, but it hat
been suggested that the schools have
patriotic songs and recitations, that
reports of what has been done in tht
stamp purchases be read, that a com?
mittee have stamps on sale at the ex?
ercises, and that patriotic addresses
be made.
It has been suggested that in the
territory of each school that the trus?
tees, members of the council, minis
ters, or other interested citizens; take
the lead and form committees imme
llately to start this work. In the
schools, the teachers are txptotod tc
form societies among the children, t<
Instruct them about stamps, and to
otherwise encourage them in their|
savings and in the purchasing o!
stamps.
For the city of Sumter the plan
worked out varies just a little. It it
j proposed to have a great patriotic ga?
thering the night of the 26th. Eael
i school in the city, whether public oi
private will be asked to render a re
port of what is done by the school to
closing hour that day, and this report
will be read at the meting. It is plan?
ned, too, to have read a report of
what etaeh ageney in Sumter has
lone In the way of selling stamps, and
a report of what has been aceom-1
plished by the two canvassing teams,
the Army and Navy, and of other in?
dependent canvassing teams. It is
hoped that a feature of the evening
can he had In the reading of excerpts
from letters of Sumter boys "ovei
there" to friends and relatives at
home. A first class orator will be se?
cured for the evening, one having al?
ready been invited, but not yet heard
from. /
The sale of Thrift Stamps and War)
Savings Stamps is not negotiated in
one campaign, and is then over with
as Is the case with bonds.* They will
be on sale the entire year, and prob?
ably as long as the war lasts. Sum?
ter countyi however, is very far be

Kind of Men Needed.
All classes are joining the Reserve,
professional men, engineers, laborers
of all kinds. The Reserve welcomes
every patriotic citizen who wishes to
serve, whatever his qualifications. It
is a democratic organization in which
all classes meet in a common de?
votion to our country.
Men especially needed are mechan?
ics, artisans, skilled laborers, men
who can work with tools. There it
great need for such men now. Only
men who are really ready and able to
respond when an opportunity for ser?
vice comes should enroll. The Re?
serve does not want to be swamped
with records of men who are merely
expressing patriotism but who, when
it comes down to business, are not
going to be able to work where they
may be needed. Men of draft ago
are not wanted if likely to be called
*oon. Enrollment in the Reserve h
no ground for exemption. No obliga?
tion exists to respond to the call wln-n
it comes, the Reserve merely presents
the opportunity, trusting to the judg?
ment and patriotism of its members
to lead them to accept, if they shoubi
accept in view of all the circumstanced
and of their country's need.
