The 8umter Watchman was found
in 1860 and the True Southron in
IIIS. The Watchman and Southron
now has the combined circulation und
influence of both of the old papers,

medium In Sumter.
Cole L. Bleaae Is a grotesque
cretaure and addicted to irreverent
and sacrilegious comparison- in his
public harangues. On more than one
occasion he has compared himself
with shocking and sacrilegious im?
piety to Jesus Christ, and the other
day at Yorkville he attempt, d to
draw an analogy b? tw. .sj his I*ro
Oermanlsm and disloyalty to the
government's war policy, and the
course of Robert K. Lsg In opposing
secession in 1861. We have often
heard of stealing the livery of heaven
to serve the devil In. but it remained
for Cole L. Blease to demonstrate
with brasen effrontery this form of
larceny. Robert K I<ce anil Cole L*.

as different as heaven and hell, and
no one realises this more fully than

There still appears to bo consider
able confusion respecting the rule of
the Democratic party that requires
the enrollment every campaign year
of all members of the party. No
man la permitted to vote in the pri?
mary unless he personally signs the
roll book of his preeinet club. The
fact that the roll was signed In 191C
or 1911 has no bearing on the pres?
ent election. A new roll book is
made up for each primary A membir
of the party must qualify for each
primary by signing the roll book of
his club during the period presented
by the rules of the party. The roll
book* ,are now open and those who
wish to exercise the privilege of vot?
ing In thv- primary should apply to
the secretary of the preeinet club be?
fore the last Tuesday in July, on
which day the books are closed,

bp to me and said, "1 can't go to the
town to which you have booked me,
i have got to go to Sumter to see Mrs. j
Liurns." I explained to him that this
was impossible as I was sending her
other guests, so he went off with a
?ad ax press! on on his face and said.
You know that's just like home to
me. She entertained me one weelt

.hat talking to Mrs. P, G. Bowman is
just like talking to mother." I won?

to you as they say about you to me.
I feel that I know you all in!innately 1

Kdltor Dally [tern:
The writer had an opportunity the
other day to view at doee range Cm
great work being dune by that band
of soli-sacrificing women comppnlns
the ?'.inte',, ot the Sumter [ted Cros.
end he feel a that the people of Sum?
ter .should know u little of that work.
Therefore, If you can spare a littb
rtpace, I will endeavor to t>il BOmo
thlng about what I saw.
The principal duty of this ban .
consists of meeting various troop
trains which travel through our city
In all directions, and serving some
kind of refreshment to tho soldiers on
these trains. I m the day In question
the Canteen had notice that there
would bo a train of soldiers through
SuinU i. Tue train was lato, and a
a consequence these ladles had n<
opportunity to attend to any of the!
household duties lor practically th
whole doy. When tho train (mails
arrived there were ready and waiting
three large tubs of iced tea, and
many other things. This tea was a
good naerould be served on any labl
in Sumter, and prepared with just as
much ear". As soon as the trai
opped, servico of tea began, an
while it may sound as if it were ar
easy matter, l would suggest that ycu
or any of your readeri find out jus
how hard it is by putting a gallon o
iced tea in a pitcher and holding i
over your head, and pourttts it Into
cups. At the same time others of tb
party were busy distributing sand
w iches.
If you COUld have heard the cxpit
sions of appreciation, of thanks of
the soldiers to those ladies, end coul 1
have seen the enjoyment In which
they ate the sandwiches and dranl*
the iced tea, you would have wanted
as I did, to have same part in thi:
oplendld work.
The trains came in close succession
and were served, some with iced tc.
and sandwiches, others with plums
poaches, bananas, candy and cigar
ett< s.
1 List herewith just what WAS given
away and SCrVCd by these loyal WO?
men \
Bis large ' ubs of iced tea.
( ne bushel of peaches.
One-half bushel of plume.
r.*> > sendwiches.
Bix large bunches of bananaa.
T< n pounds Of peanut brittle.
A'-out 500 cigarettes.
Now. where does all ot this roi.i"
from? Borne of it comes from th<
homes of the ladles who have charg
ed themselves with that duty, sonn
from those who are familiar with lh?
work oi" the Canteen, some by pur
chase and some by gift of the very
gcivrous and loyal merchants of thi
town.
I am Informed that almost without
exception any requ< st made by the
Canteen for supplies from tho mer?
chants is met with the heartiest re?
sponse.
\\'hi!<' the local chapter of the Red
Cross is back of tin Canteen and all
of its work, tlie canteen does not like
to uek tor funds needed tor othi
work of the chapter, and a few peo?
ple who know of the work huv< vor
kindly ^one deep into their pockct'J
ami given money ami supplies*
I am informed that the greatest
need at this time by the canteen i
the help thttt lh" ladies of SUtUtCI e n,
give them. This h< ip consists in the
making of sandwiches. There are few
homes In Sumter who could not at th
e. II of the canteen make two dozen
sandwiches. That would mean a lit
Lle over a loaf of bread. These sand?
wiches do not need to be meat sand?
wiches; jelly, preserves, tomato, or
say other Riling is much appreciated
both by the soldiers and by the can?
teen. If any lady in Sumter feels that
.-lie <-an help to that extent, 1 know
that the canteen would be glad to
have her phone Inn- name in to Mr
\. c. Phclps, and I believe tin- can
'een will send for the snndwiche?.
