County Health Survey Agitation Go . ing on Among Rural White Citi zens. Mrs. E. W. Dabbs, of Salem, chair man of the Sumter county Baby Welfare Workers, in her splendid talk at General Sumter Memorial School last Wednesday, very intelligently outlined the necessity for this propos ed twelve months campaign of edu cation and county'health survey. Mrs. Dabbs appealed to the white men and women of the rural districts to or ganize, and put over the top the pub lic health survey. She pointed out that patriotic col ored citizens had organized and are working to raise funds to help this I county put up two thousand and five hundred dollars for this purpose. The meeting at Hagood last Mon day was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Sanders, was well attended by the men, women, boys and girls of that section and much interest manifested in the pub lic health conditions in the rural dis tricts. Mr. P. G. Bowman, the speak i er, on public health improvement, very clearly pointed out the patriotic duty of the people to re spond to the call of the government to educate themselves or have them selves instructed along these lines, and to make themselves morally, physi . cally, and mentally more efficient as producers to back up the boys and men who are fighting, suffering, bleeding and thousands of them dying to win the".war for us. At Salem meeting last Tuesday which was held at the hospitable home of Mr. J. H. Wilson, this meet ing was also a very pleasant and successful gathering. A delightful pic nic dinner was served also. Rev. R. S. Truesdale made his opening speec hhere as a public health cam paign advocate. Mr. Truesdale certainly opened the eyes of his hearers by his eloquent, comprehensive and instructive ad dress, and he showed them how very important to the future prosperity of the nation is the maintenance of the highest possible degree of physical. , moral, and mental efficiency. Mr. E. WS, Dabbs. chairman of the Mayesville Township Committee of the County Cjlouncil of Defense pre sided, and being called up delivered ? also a very practical and patriotic appeal for support of the govern ment by the people of the rural dis- j tricts doing tJieir very best to improve sanitary conditions, and decrease pre ventable, communicable diseases. He stressed the value of a county health j survey and twelve months campaign of education and pleaded for active and systematic organization for thi* survey. Mr. E. I. Reardon handled the question of community and town ship organization for bettering public health conditions. The biggest meeting of this week was the combination program at the General Sumter Memorial School last Wednesday when the annual Gener al Sumter Memorial Association meet ing and picnic was combined with the public health campaign meeting. The speaking was excellent by Dr. M. L. Parier on Baby Welfare, and Mr. P. G. Bowman, both of whom fol lowed their usual line of splendid reasoning and impressive facts and figures. Mrs. E. W. Dabbs certainly awoke a feeling of patriotism and county pride among the very inter ested audience when she appealed to the men. women, boys and girls of the rural districts not to be behind the colored citizens in showing sanitary intelligence, culture, and progressive ness. as well as patriotism in backing up the brave boys who are dying for our liberty and the honor of the womanhood of this country. A delightful picnic dinner was served at this meeting also. The program was varied with de lightful instrumental and vocal num bers. Misses Keels and Martin, our efficient home demonstration agents, are loyally attending every public health meeting, and despite the very warm weather and trying conditions are putting on very valuable (k ..ion srations in economic problems, pre serving, drying, and canning of fruits and vegetables, and showing and lec turing on how to cook and keep houss to avoid diseases and premature deaths. 4 Program of Gen.

I President Wilson Says People Will ; Not Believe Blease is or Can Be j Friend of Administration. Spartanburg, Aug. 15.?President Wilson has addressed a letter to Thos. 11.. Daniel. .'Washington correspond ent of the Spartanburg Heraid, in response to a request for an expres-. ! sion of views on the senatorial race I in South Carolina, in which Former Gov. Cole L. Blease is a candidate, in which he says: "Let me say that I have perfect confidence *vat the people of South Carolina will judge rightly in the sen atorial content and 1 have not the least fear that they will believe that Mr. Blease is or can be a friend of the administration. The record of his opinion is already written and it is a little late to expunge it." Mr. Blease. who is a candidate for the senate to succeed the late Sena tor Tillman, is in Spartanburg to night and will make a campaign of the county tomorrow. COTTON CONTROL URGED. New York Exchange Again Attacked. Toten. Aug. 15.?Cotton buyers and mill owners urged the necessity for government control of the New York cotton exchange and the elimination of speculation of a purely gambling nature at a hearing held here today by the bureau of markets of the de partment of agriculture: Speakers declared also that the correct labeling of cotton bales would be of greatest help both to mill men and growers. William F. Garcelon. speaking for the Arkwright Club, an association oi cotton manufacturers. Charles N Bush, secretary of the New England Cotton Buyers' Association and oth ers also discussed delays in transpor tation. Mills sometimes were obliged to wait six months or more for cot ton from points where deliveries should be made in six weeks. The New York exchange was called a "legalized gambling house, conducted under government supervision" by George H. Waring, secretary of the j Fall River Cotton Buyers' Associa-; lion. "There is no excuse for cotton j jumping from G to 10 cents within j i a few weeks," he added. DUTCH VESSELS USED. Will Saii From East Indian Ports, j Bringing: Sugar, Tin and Quinine, j t ?_ i Washington. Aug. 15.?Forty Dutch ships totalling approximately 100,060! tons now idle in Dutch East Indian ports are expected to be released to bring sugar, tin. quinine and other oommod'ties to the United States as the result of an informal modus vi vendi effected by the war trade board through Charge d'affaires de Beau fort of the Dutch legation. Tonnage placed at the disposal of the American government through the agreement will be sufficient, it was estimated today, to import from 50.000 to 100,000 tons of sugar and also much needed quantities of tin and quinine. In return for the tonnage the Unit ed States government will undertake to license normal exports to the is lands, subject only to such limita tion of commodities as made neces sary by the war program. Experts of tin. quinine and otficr comodities originating in the island? will be accepted by the United State? at th ? normal rate and all sugar of fered will be taken, thereby providing a market for as much of the 19IS su gar crop at the prevailing high Amer ican price as the Dutch ships are aide to move. The Novt Cotton Crop. Editor Daily Item. Referring to the cail for a Food Crop Mass Meeting at Sumter Court House August 2<?th. permit the re minder that experience shows a pledge to reduce cotton acreage is the best way to assure increased acreage and the biggest crop the season can pro duce. Besides: Can other countic. and other States be depended on to follow such lead, or hold off mor< strenuously the greater the area pledged to reduction? And consider this suggestion: Let farmers decide what proportion ot' cot ton should be planted to other crops or to acreage, or to the plow, and ask congr- ss to declare a greater quantity contrabrand. and confiscate the whole cotton crop on any farm exceeding that limit. In such manner we will have reduction, and all will be on the same footing, and intensive farming will be encouraged, and cotton price? will be remunerative and farmers may wish such law permanent. A. G. Warren. Williamson-Wooten. An approaching marriage that wil. he heard with much interest by friends in the State is that announced by Mrs Sarah A. Williamson. Her youngesi daughter.

A Well Attended and Pleasant Mcet j in- Held <>:> Tuesday in Rcmbcrt j Sc hool House. j ! The second meeting in the coun ty campaign was held at Rembert Tuesday with all the candidates pres ent except Mr. John H. Clifton, can jdidate for the senate, and Mr. R. B. Belser, candidate for re-election to the House of Representatives. Mr. < 'liftoh was prevented from attending hy a meeting of the Exemption Board, 'and Mr. Belser wa sabsent from the j county on business. The meeting was (held in the large auditorium, which j was the nearest approach to' a cool J place that was found on that torrid ! day. The attendance was gr&tifyingly i large, practically every seat in the I hall being lilied. There were no par ! ticular features to the meeting, every ! thing passing off pleasantly and har j moniously. Mr. J. E. DuPre, of Pis ! gah, presided. j The-first candidate to address the j crowd was Judge of Probate, Thos. [ E. Richardson, who is asking for re | election. He said that he would aot embarrass anyone by asking them to vote for him. that if they preferred another of the candidates, it was their privilege to vote for their choice with out beinp: embarrassed by being: asked i to vote for a different candidate. ! What he wants is the good will of the i peonic. He discussed in general j terms the duties of the office, and 1 then branched off into an explanation j of the quart-a-month law and the I litigat ion that had resulted from it. {He said that by making the Judge of j Probate's office the place of issue for j liquor permits the ? law had diverted j the o-fico from its real duty and filled i it with booze hunters. The Judges 1 of Probate had protested against the I amended iaw and the case was still I in court. What they wanted was to j change the law, or devolve the duty > of issuing liquor permits on some oth I er officer. J Mr. A. G. Warren said that he had f been elected coroner of Sumter coun j ty about thirty years ago and had ! served the people in That capacity, he j believed, satisfactorily. After that j experience he had dropped out of j public life and had not sought any i other office. But he had worked at 'various times in almost every county , office and was familiar with the dutie> ! of the several county officers, par ! ticularly that of the Judge of Probate j since he had frequently had complete {charge of the office for weeks at a I time <luring the illness of Col. T. V. Walsh, who was for so many years ! Judge of Probate. He asked for elee ! tion because he was confident that he ! could discharge the duties of Judge j of Prohate efficiently and because he j desired to serve the people of Sumter j county in that capacity. He was an j Ex-Confederate soldier, but had nev J er asked for a pension?all he asked I was a job in which he could serve the public and at the same time earn an honest living. Mr. Jos. R. Singletoni said he asked election as he desir<?t.to have the honor of serving the county and that he promised to receive all who j came into his office pleasantly and to j give every one a hearty hand-shake. I He spoke of having one son in France ! and two more soon to go, when the ; new draft law becomes effective, am! i that if the country needed him he was j ready to go himself when the cal f 00 111 Mr. Davis D. Moise. who is a car. - j didate for re-election to the House of Representatives, spoke *very brief - : iy, saying that there were, no par ticular issues and no questions about i which the people differ. He advocat ed the construction of a system o: j good roads throu' lout the county hut said this and aJ similar improve i monts would have to wait until the ! end of the war. which he hoped ; would be successfully concluded be j fore the end of the next term of th (legislature. At present and until th; 'war has ended it is the first and only : duty of every loyal man and woman j to stand behind the government ant ! to give it. their full support at a.li . costs. He told his audience that he was not running against any of t.h< [other candidates?that there are thre. I places to be filled and five candidates , and all he asked was that he be giv 1 en one place, the same one that ha had held for four years, and let tin I other candidates run for the othe: ! two. j Mr. C. J. Jackson said that speech ; making was as new to him as run i hing for office, that he had no speed. ' to make and probably could not make i one if he were to try. He had no j promises to make, except to support ! the government in every way possibl [and to give the best service of which : he was capable to the county, the State and the national government ' He would ask- the people of Remben for but one favor?he would ask then to give him just one more vote than j they gave their fellow townsman j Jesse Cillis. for he would appreciate the honor of beating him just a litth . in his own box. ! Mr. A. B. Stuckey said that he had j long had an ambition to serve hi ! county in the legislature and it seem [ ed that now ;s the opportune time foi ! him to offer his services. He was in ! terrupted by Chairman DuPre at thi: i point, who asked him to state ha views on the matter of reducing taxes Mr. Stuckey said thai he was in fa vor of as low taxes as possible, nat urally, but he did not know whethei it would be possible to reduce taxe> undo)- existing conditions. He believ ed in good service and not in stinting and skimping the public business. H< favored the equalization of assess m< nts so that the burden of taxation would l>e properly and fairly distrib uted. He did not believe in sayim that taxes must be reduced, whei conditions were such thai it could no he done and carry on the government i!<- concluded with a patriotic talk or war conditions end the necessity oi supporting the administration. ? elected h< promised to give the best service that In- knew how to give. Mr. .; L. Cillis shi'd he was a.1 home where he was born and ha? spent all his life and the people be fore him knew his good points and hi. failings belter, perhaps, than he di< himself; For eight years In- had serv eJ them as magistrate and his neigh td ilk oors tcnew ms record. Two years agi Ii was a candidate for the legislatur and i!u> vote he received at Member am! in his magisterial district wa. proof that he had the confidence 01 his own people, that ho appreciated ! the handsome vote they gave hin. more than anything thai he knew <">: : ?that he would rathe.- h ive had that handsome vote and suffer defeat, a> he did, than to have been elected b. the vote of other parts of the coun ty and lost the vote of his home club. Two years ago he learned that jusi before the primary reports had bee' circulated that he was a supporter o: Blease. He wanted to say now. as he had said then that ho had been a Gov. Manning had ever sought, from Gov. Manning ha. dever sought, fron Representative to Governor: that he had voted for Blease when he rai against Judge Jones, believing at the time that he was doing the right thing, but afterwards he found out j that he had made a mistake, for which he had always been sorry. He would promise only one thing, to do his duty to the best of his ability, if elected, and to do it with his whole heart, as he had tried to do it as to the Liberty loans, the Red Cross and ether war work that had been car ried on. He had and would continue to support the government in every way possible. Mr. L. K. Wood, who is a candidate for Solicitor briefly announced his candidacy, saying that he had serv ed the Third Circuit as Court Steno grapher for thirteen years and he was now asking for a promotion. He had acted as Solicitor a number of times and many in the audience doubtless 'were present in Court and knew how he had acquitted himself of this duty. ' He promised to serve the public as Solicitor as he had as Court Steno Lgrapher, giving the office his full at i tention and his most conscientious j sendee. i It was announced that Mr. F. A. : McLeod. the other candidate for So i licitor was absent by l'eason of anoth er engagement. Mr. L. S. Vinson. the unopposed candidate for Magistrate in the 7th district, was the last speaker. He thanked the voters of the district foi support in the past and promised to do his duty by them in the future to the best of his ability. At the conclusion of the speech making, the most enjovable event of the day was announced. The ladies of Rembert had prepared an abund rnt dinner for th^ candidates and others attending the meeting, which was served in one of the large class rooms on the first floor of the school house. The dinner was given for the benefit of the church, and if the la dies had not contributed all the ma terials and prepared the dinner the church would have been a loser rath er than a gainer from the dinner, for the ladies served a dinner for fifty cen*s that could not be duplicated by any of the hotels or restaurants, for I many times the price, if at all. It was a dinner to be enjoyed at the time and to be remembered in this time of food conservation and high prices. The menu included fried chicken chicken pie. country ham, rice, bis cuits, vegetables, pics and all the trimmings and accessories that go with the substantiate. If the ladies or Rembert were candidates for all the offices to be filled this year they would have been unanimously elect ed by the candidates, themselves, as weih as all others who enjoyed the din ner, as a testimonial of appreciation of an old-fashioned sumptuous coun try dinner, every item of which was home grown and home prepar ed.

August 20th. conflicts with the county campaign meeting appointed to be held at Shi loh on the same day, it has been de cided to call off the meeting at Shi loh. This decision was arrived at af ter consultation with, the represen tatives of the clubs in the Shiloh sec tion and it meets with the approval of the voters of Shiloh. It was stat ed that in all probability the attend ance at the meeting, if held, would h' small and that no; a few farmers ot the Shiloh section would much pre fer attending the Food Crop Mas?
