The above telegram was receive:!
ai the Tuomey Hospital on Tuesday
and on Wednesday morning Miss Rosa
Brogdon and Miss Camilla Gregg,
answering their country's call left for
Camp Jackson. Answering a similar
appeal Miss Fannie B. Cox and Miss
Bertha Sturgeon had already left for
Wilmington, N. C. These are a!"
graduate nurses. We feel confident
. therefore, that under the care of such
women, blessed as they are with such
an abundance of "common sense" and
? accurate judgment: augmented by
the best of training and practical ex
perience, together with their gentle
lady-like bearing?devoid of all
ostentation, our soldiers are verily in
hands to be trusted. Our boys have
acted nobly in responding to Demo
cracy's call and our girls are show
ing that they are not laggards and
that the same spirit to be "up and
doing" for the freedom of the world
burns with ever increasing fevor in
their very souls. God grant that the
example set by these young women
and their five co-woTkers, who so re
cently preceeded them, will -b^ emu
lated by others.
When the boys "over there" know
as they, do know?that woman, the
greatest of God's handiwork i
bending her every effort for his com
fort, for his support in time of
trouble, it is needless to say that hi
offcrts will be renewed with increas
ing energy, with an even mor;
determined devotion to the winninr
of the sacred cause. The prayers*o'
every right thinking man, woman ant"
child of this community should as
cend daily to the throne of our al*
wise God. asking his care and keep
ing for these?our own, our very
own nurses.

SUMTER DEFEATS ST. MATTHEWS
St. Matthews Very Heavy Rut Sumter
Overcomes Them.
With seven of Sumter's men .sick,
four of them being experienced men
of last year and the best on the
learn, Sumter met yesterday and play
ed rings around the heavy SL.
?Matthews team to the tune of 13 to V.
in favor of Sumter.
The game was unusually interesting
from start to finish. The game start
ed with Sumter kicking off to St.
Matthews. St. Matthews* tackle re
ceived the ball but was tackled by
Sumter in his tracks. St. Matthews
ran four plays and then had to kick.;
Sumter's quarterback caught the ball'
and brought it back to the middle of
the field. The ball then see-sawed up
and down the field for the rest of the
first quarter.
At the beginning of the second
quarter the ball was seen in St.
Matthews* possession, but Sumter soon
took it from her on downs. Sumter
ran well with the ball but a fumble
was recovered by St. Matthews and j
the ball went to them. St. Matthews j
finally lost the ball and with only one
and a-half minutes to play Sumter
used the ball to the greatest advan- j
tage and made a touchdown. De- I
Lcrme then kicked goal for Sumter j
and this netted seven points for Sum-1
ter. This ended the second quarter. }
At the beginning of the second half |
Sumter was seen receiving and by thei
pep and zeal of Sumter's quarterba< \
brought the ball back to the middle
of the field. In this quarter both !
teams ran well with the ball and :ioj
scores were made at all in this quar
ter.
In the fourth quarter St. Matthews!
again hud the ball but Sumter again]
outguessed her and took it from her. j
Sumter failed to accomplish anything j
'until Crawford threw a forward Da.-.-,
to Sholar and he oaried it across
St. Matthews* goai for a touchdown..
Sumter then failed to kick goal; this
only netted six points for Sumter and
made the score 13 to 0, in favor of
Sumter. Xo more scoring was ma-U j
during the rest of the fourth quarter.
For Sumter DeLorme at fullback '
played a splendid game, and Craw-!
ford and Sholar at halfback ran web
with the ball. Edmunds at quarter-!
Jack used his knowledge of f ootbaP}
co advantage and his interference
was unsurpassed. Kirven and Pitts
it ends played an exceptionally good
game, while Burns and Haynsworth
held two of the heaviest men back 1
from interfering with the plays o '
Sumter. Rhame and Tisdale were al- '
ways on the bottom and both playec 5
a fine game, while Phelps at cente;
passed the ball with great skill.
The game was so clean that nehh J
er side had to run in a substitute 1
and there was no penalties in tht ]
whole game. ]
The lineup was as follows: 1

Silver Moon Cafe Robbed.
Between 4 and 5 o'clock this morn- '
ing the ?fii\ev Moon Cafe, on Wes: :
Liberty' street was entered through a
j^ick window by a.burglar who prie:: 1
open th wiWow shutter. He stole'
two small bags containing the mon
ey taken by the Cafe Saturday and
Sunday, a suit case and some othe:
articles. He left no clues and ap
parently made a clean get-away
with his booty.
But about 7 o'clock Policemar
Oarrigan met Ed Caldwell on Harvin
street going toward the depot with
suit case in his hand. Ed has a
criminal record and only recently was
released front the Florence Reforma
tory, and for this reason Officer Car
rigan halted him and demanded thai
the suit case be opened for inspec
tion. Ed refused and showed fight.
After a struggle Ed broke away and
ran. Officer Carrigan fired once and
told him the next time he would shool
to kill. Ed came back, but instead ol
surrendering he attacked the officer.
After a lively scramble the officer got
the nippers on him. and he submitted.
In the suit case was found one of th"
money bags just as it was taken from
the Cafe, but the other was gone and
no information as to its disposition
could be obtained from Ed. Caldwell
will be given a quick trial and scon
bo back in prison. An indict men;
was made against him for house
breaking Mid larceny and a true bill
found by the grand jury soon after
the <"ouri of General Sessions con
v? le-d this morning. He will be tried
probably tomorrow: before the end
the week will be on th- chain gan^
or in the penitentiary.

COTTON PURCHASE BOARD.
j JJow Farmers Prevented Fixing Cot
ton Price.
Ojungeburg, Oct. ?At a meeting
of the Orangeburg County Farmers'
i Union held on last Saturday, W. O.
Tatum, the delegate sent to -Wasb>
ington to represent the farmers' un
ion of this county, and Captain Claf
:'y. representing the State fanners'
union, made their report, which wa
in substance as follows:
The entire delegation from South
Carolina was composed of the delega
tion above mentioned. A. C. Summers;
the present commissioner of agricul
ture. Bonneau Harri.-, commissioner-:
elect. William Banks, the editor of the I
Carolina Stockman and Farmer, and I
Thomas W. Zeigler oi* Orangeburg
county.
Every other State in the cotton belt j
was represented by a strong delega
tion, with the exception of Tennessee
and Florida. The South Carolina del
egation was in favor of. fixing a fair
price, but it stood alone. All the other
Stales were opposed to any price being
fixed, and gave notice that they would
fight that proposition to the las;
ditch.
The representatives of the cotton
States held two meetings on Monday
and invited the senators and repre
sentatives from the cotton States to
a meeting to be held that night. The
meeting was held at the Ebbit House
and speeches were made by Senators
Smith of South Carolina, Smith of
Georgia. Underwood of Alabama and
by Representatives Lever of South
Carolina. Hedin of Alabama. Young
of Texas and one or two others whos*
names can net be recalled.
The sum and substance or? the
speeches was that a prie-"4 on raw cot
ton would be fixed, that they were ab
opposed to it. that they had don ?
every hing they cot* Id to prevent i'
without avail, and advised that th :
next best thing to do was to try and
have a. good price named, if possible.
The only speech that came from,
the side 01' the cotton delegation was
delivered by E. A. Calvin of Te*:as.
who is stationed at Washington, em
ployed by the farmers' organizations
in the cotton Sates, and whose duty
it is to keep in touch with all mat
ters affecting the farmers' interests
It soon became apparent to the South
Carolina, delegation that he had th'
full confidence of all the other dole
7a'ions. The speech he made that
night captured our delegation,' and i!
wras the universal opinion of all o'
them that he was the peer of any o
the public men present.
The next morning a meeting wa:
held at the office of Senator Smith o*
South Carolina, and it; was agree !
that the representatives of the cot
Lon farmers should ask for an aud
ience with the cotton committee ap
pointed by the president, and it wa
irranged for that afternoon at -1
yclcck. At that hour the entire del
egation met at the appointed time and
yfr. Calvin was again the spokesman
?or the 'armors. Mr. Paige, the chair
man of the cotton committee, assur
ed us that so far as they k^ew,
air 3trice would be named I raw
cotton, when it was done, but as hi
committee had just' been appointed
they could make no premises unti
they had time to look into the mat
ter. ^
Mr. Redmond, a member of cb*
:cmmittee from Calhoun county, and
Mr. Murph, the secretary, also of Cal
houn county, assured us that the
farmers had friends on the committee
?.nd that we need have no fear, wa
rery pleasant to us from South Car
olina. but the other delerration insist"
rd that they wanted a price fixed, so
we came away with the intention o
seeing the president the n-xt day.
The next morning we met in th;
office of Senator Smith of South Car
olina with the senators, and represen
tatives who attended the meeting on
Monday night, and after discussio:
Senator Smith of South Carolina and
Senator Smith of Georgia were ap
pointed to arrange a meeting with
the the president that day.
In a short time Senator Smith o'
South Carolina stated that he had
taken the matter up with the White
House, with the result that the presi
dent stated he had every hour en
gaged for the day. but. that he had
arranged with Mr. Baruch, the chair
man of the war industries board, to
receive us. and that he would act foi
him under instructions which he, th
president, had given.
At 4.30 that afternoon. Wednesday
the cotton delegation met with Mr.
Baruch. who stated that he had just
left the president who directed bin:
to say that there would be no pric.
fixed on cotton at this time.
Th-.'. representatives of the farmer.-:
stated to Mr. Baruch that they wer.
pleased to know that there was fou:
cotton growers on the cotton commit
tee who were to make investigation
but they wondered why the farmer
had no representatives on the boaro
that was to purchase cotton, lie in
quired if they wanted one. and upon
being told that they would like to sc
Mr. Calvin added. asked them tc
draw up a petition and he would d<
what he could to have their wishe:
carried into effect.
This .statement is as short as : .
could be made to be intelligible, am
is written for the purpose of givin
tho.se persons who are not member
of the union information that the.
should know.
To sum up: No price will fixe?
unless something should happen
cause the price to be abnormally hie
or to drop so low ?.bat the produce
should receive protection. The cot
ton committee which 1ms been ap
pointed will require that every na
lion or individual pur< basing whit
<-?.;t-vn w;li be required to take a cei
tain number of bales of low grade cot
ton. which has been a burden on th<
market ever since last winter.
.'he cot ton grower has the makih;
o. *!)<? price in his own hands now. b.
putting it on ib<- market gradual 1
and if able t<> do so, hold as man
bale's as possible until next spring.
The above statement of facts wil
show whai an organization of farm
ers <-.,!i accomplish when proper!:
led. Those doubting Thomases a
home who are continually asserting
thai farmers can not be organise,
should read the statement seyfi ou
by Senator Smith 01 Sou tit Carolin:
[ wherein he asserted in substance that
: the representatives of the fanners by
j iheir wonderf i conservation and
I persistent efforts had won a victor:."
'?? when ail other efforts had failed.

Money or Lives.
From the Yvral! Street Journal.
Within the next three weeks the
people cf the United States are ex
pected to float the greatest bond issue
the world has ever seen. But even
this is only a part of the proposed
war expenditures for the present
fiscal year. The total is estimated at
$24,000.000.000. If one should ask.
Why this staggering sum? There is
but one answer to give, and that is?
to purchase complete, unconditiona'
victory.
This nation has highly resolved that
force and conquest in the affairs of
nations shall forever cease to exist.
The price is to be paid in blood.
Whatever will lessen that price must
be secured at any cost. This war is
a war of mechanics and chemicals
therefore life can be estimated in
terms of money. Xo men should
question the amount to be spent; the
only fear is that it cannot be spent
fast enough.
Forty-three cents a day will feed a
soldier with a four and one-half
pound ration of twenty-seven articles,
in August (Jen. Pershing reported
that not a man in his army had been
obliged to miss a meal. A soldier's
uniform and four pairs of well-fitting
-hoes cost $63.50. The money already
lent has kept them in such perfect
health that the deaths by disease have
averaged but eight to 1,000 men. It
the civil war the rate was fifty p;>'
1.000. This health shows in the light
ing spirt when an American genera1
reports: "The boys went over with a
whoop." Who will not Ioan>aUie mon"
ey to feed and clothe 5,000.000 such*.';
In the fiscal year the United Star's
will pay $7.000,tfOO.GOO for artillery
alone. In the early yens of the war
when British cannon were few a
charge meant appaling losses, like
that at Xeuve Chapelle in 1915, when
the men had to hack their way
chrough the wire entanglements.
Now. with artillery standing wheel
to wheel, first a row of three-inch
-i:us, behind them the six-inch, and
then the heavies, ten am! twelve-inch
rifles and howitzers, a. charge is far
different. The artillery sweeps away
the wires, smashes the trenches and
destroys the machine gun nests.
Then, like Vulcan forging the shield
Cor Achilles, it creates a wall of burst
in0' steel an;"! shrapnel. Behind this

shield the soldiers rush to dig out the j
enemy with their bayonets. Our boys
will never be compelled to rage impo- j
tently and die, before the wire behind !
which the enemy crouches and shoots, j
as did the French and British soldiers j
in 1915. Not $7,000,000,000 but all we j
have, if nec essary, to spend for artil-:
lery that covers the heads of our boy- '
in battle. i

the question resolves itself into the!
price of victory. The price is money ori
