Optra Ho?a \\a? raoiod with Frauds of Young Men's Christlui? \>MK*iatl??n to Hear Address by Dr. r. W. Slkes and Sacred Concert by SliMumut .Male Quartette. Once each year the frUnds of tht Humter Young Men's Christian As? sociation gather in mass meeting to pledge financial support to maintain ilits organization during the current vc.n. and each meeting of this kind is a heartening and encouraging dem? onstration that the community as a whole endorses the work that the as? sociation is doing nnd is willing to ex? tend to it the financial support that it requires to exist und to grow with the field it occupies. Sunday's meet? ing was in several rspects the most successful and inspiring ever held in the interest of the Y. m. C. A. Finan? cially it was far ahead of any previous meeting, in that the pledges obtained totaled more than twice as much as ever before voluntarily given for the support of the association. In at? tendance the meeting was aa large or larger than any previous mass meet? ing. The programme was appro? priate and inspiring and every per ??ion in the audience derived pleasure from the music rendered by the quar? tette and instruction and intellectual j stimulus from the able and eloquent address of Dr. Kikes. Dr. Sikcs' subject was "The Boy Soldier of tho Revolution," his theme being the career and services of Marquis de LaFayette as a disinter? ested friend of America and of de? mocracy everywhere. Historically the address was most instructive, the story of the growth and spread of democratic ideas in America and then In Europe being Interwoven with the career of LaFayette as a soldier of the American Revolution and his subse? quent life and labors in France. The application of this historical sketch of a man who lived more than a cen? tury ago to the Y. M. C. A. work of today was most Impressively and for? cibly handled and demonstrated Dr. Sikes' art as a speaker and thinker In en attractive and telling manner. The lesson he brought home to his hearers was that the struggle between real democracy, as represnted by La? Fayette, and autocracy, as typified by Frederick of Prussia, has contin? ued through all the years from their day to ours with unabated antagonism and that this great battle for human rights and individual freedom has icached its culmination in the at? tempt that the 1'russian savages are making to destroy democracy and fasten upon the human race the rule of mi'jht over right. In the Y. M. C. A. lie saw an instrument of democ? racy, developed under the benign in? fluences of American liberty, for the great and necessary work that it Is doing fcr all the allied nations on the battlefield* of Kurope and Asia und in the military camps of this country. The Y. m. C. A. has been developed, has grown strong and efficient and useful In Its work for the young men of America and now that tho great emergency has come to the world, when such work must be done for the millions of soldiers of democracy on the very fields of battle tho Y. M. C. A. was ready and equipped for the tusk that no other organization, re-1 Mgio\:.n or secular, could do. While '.he war work or the Y. M. C. A. is vi? tally important and is in the limelight Of world, it must not be lost sight of that the regular work in the towns ml cities of America must go on, for It is the nursery of democracy, it is the training school of right living, and rlpht thinking of our young men who form the great reserve force of the country, CnANGB name of < LI B.

They are excellent for your body. They are good fuel. They furnish starch which burns in your muscles to let you work.

Now they have a larger crop than ever before. All the winter they have waited to be ship? ped but the trains could not carry them on account of the transportation difficulties. Spring is here.

One Hundred and Forty-Two Years of Labor and Struggle The imme? diate need is the invest? ment of our money in LIBERTY BONDS! THE American people fought their first battles (or liberty and tht rights of self government one hundred a d forty-two years ago. <3 At that time, and for many years thereafter, their realization of their national aspirations and of the goal toward which they wer? really striving was vague and indistinct. But ste> by step they struggled onward and upward toward a light which grew clearer as their eyes and mind* slowly opened to its significance. Today, as a resu t of their strug? gles and their sacrifices, we possess and enjoy our priceless American institutions. These institutions must be preserved. The structure so laboriously reared in these one hun? dred and forty-two years will be utterly destroyed if we do not spring to its defense v ith every atom of our energy and determination. This is not a situation which may be trifled With, or evaded, or put off. It is one which must be m it now?today ?no matter what sacrifices it may entail, or what the cost may be. iwwwvwvt This Space Paid For and Contributed By fe%w\wt%*%%< CHARLIE'S CAFE. Patriotic Day. On next Friday at noon there will be a Patriotic Parade of all the schools of the county. The Chief of Police will lead the p.\r;ule. This or? der will be followed: Up Washington to Calhoun; down Main to Liberty; Liberty back to the School square. It is most earnestly requested that the school grounds and line of march shall not be blocked at this time by the parking of automobiles. Every? one will be on foot except the_ Chief of Police. It is ardently desired that the progress of the parade shall not be interfered with in any way. This is the children's day and nothing should mar their happiness. The speaker of the occasion is Dr. D. W. Daniel of Clemson College. I 3peak advisedly when I say that there is not a more popular speaker to be found anywhere than Dr. Daniel. His services are constantly in demand in all sections of our country and we are unusually fo;tunate in having been able to procuie his services for our patriotic day. The purpose is to make this day an entirely patriotic oi^. The whole at? tention of the day was been concen? trated upon only t*,ro features?the parade and the address. Every citizen of Sumter, old and young, should come to the schoo1 grounds at the conclusion of the parade to hear Dr. Daniels' address anO to participate with the children in their patriotic demonstration. We hope that the people of the whole county will at? tend in large numbers as this is a pa? triotic piirade and a patriotic day for all the schools of t ie whole county. Let every citizen of Sumter county determine to cooperate to make this really a red letter Tay in patriotic demonstration. Respec (.fully, S H. Edmunds, Chairman of the P< rade Committee. How Do Your Sacrifices Compare With These? THE American boy who goes to war gives up the position which means so much to his future, or the little business which has just begun to show promise of success. He severs home ties; gives up home comforts; leaves behind parents, friends, wife or sweetheart He faces the probability of being obliged to take up life anew when he returns; of los ing all the advantages which years of hard work have won for him. He faces the possibility of coming back in? capacitated for earning a living, and of being dependent upon his friends or upon charity. He faces the possibility of never c ming home at all. Facing these things, he goes to Frar e to fight for us who remain safely at home - - and when the moment comes for him to go over the top ? he GOES! km ? What will he thin!., how will he feel, if we complain because we are asked to make a few sacri? fices for him ? sacrifices so insig? nificant when compared with his?
