I Will Invite Veterans ! - : Chamber of Commerce Will Ask Confederate Veterans to Hold Re-union Here The Sumter County Chamber of Commerce has requested the City Council of Sumter to extend an official invitation in behalf of the citizens of Sumter to the South Carolina Division of United Confederate Veterans to hold their 1920 reunion in Sumter. There is not the slightest doubt in any ones mind that the mayor and al dermen wil gladly etxend this invita tion, and that the city fathers will go the limit in .helping to entertain the noble veterans if the convention of veterans which meets in Greenwood on July 22 and 2'J, decides to honor Sumter by holding the 1920 reunion in Sumter. Dick Anderson chapter of Sumter, United Daughters of the Confederacy requested the Chamber of Commerce to invite the veterans to meet in Sumter, and these noble and patriotic women guaranteed the ;ommercial j organization that the ladies would do their very best to assist in the proper! and honorable entertainment of the veterans should they come to Sum ter. At the last meeting of the officers and directors of the Chamber of Com merce it was decided to invite the vet erans to meet here, but action was postponed until the next meeting pending information as to what was the necessary procedure. It was learn- j ed that among other requirements the j veteran's convention must receive an invitation from the City Council as well as from other organizations. The delegation, of ' Sumter county veterans who attend the Greenwood reunion next week will go armed with the most cordial of invitations from the Sumter Chamber of Commerce, Dick Anderson Chapter, of Sumter, U. D. C., and from other organizations business and patriotic, and as before stated, while City Council has not had time to meet since the request for co operation was sent the council only a few days- ago, no one who knows Mayor X& D. Jennings, and Council men y*. P. Booth and D. R. McCallum and their love and admiration of the gallant veterans will doubt for one moment that the city of Sumter will will be in the game- with the proper vim to bring the 1920 reunion to Sum ter. and do their full part, officially and personally to give the veterans the biggest time and the heartiest re ception they have ever had at a re union. The Sumter county veterans will exert their influence to "the last ditch' 'in the effort to land the' 1920 reunion for Sumter, and the veterans still have enough of the fighting and the Sumter or Gamecock county .spirit to win out. Any organizations of Sumter or Sumter County which desire to join the forces above mentioned in extend ing an invitation to the Grenwood con vention should do so immediately and place their invitations in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce to be turn ed over to the chairman of the dele gation of veterans from Sumter county to present to the convention next week in Greenwood. ? It is believed that with the ladies of Sumter backing up the men, Sum ter county will give the veterans the biggest reception and warmest wel come they have ever received, because Sumter women and Sumter men are intensely devoted to the Confederate j veterans and will not be sparing in time, effort, or money to give them the entertainment they so richly de serve at our hands.

Daily Mail and Evening News are to have two days ?ach week for rest or recreation under the "five day working week'' which Viscount Northciiffe is introducing in his newspaper properties. The writing staffs of The Times and Daily Mali already have been reor ganized on this basis and the system is to be extended to The News. The same system is to be arranged in the near future for all others on these papers including all members of the business staffs, the printing and mechanical forces: This v not pos sible at present on account of the scarcity of skilled labor. Lord Northcliffe's view is that all men. especially those engaged in brain work, attain their highest ef-j ?ciericy by this division of work and I recreation, and by a complete change} at these regular and frequent inter-! vals. The chief rival of Lord Northcliffe in adherence to the theory of short ! hours and better work is the great] soap magnate. Lord Leverhulme. for- j tnerly William Lever. His ambition is to have a working day of six hours for ! all his thousands of employees, and! he has even hinted at a four hour day as a possibility of the future. Water Power Electric Plants to Reduce Coal Consumption. Correspondence of Associated Press. Rome. June 12.?Italy's lack of coal has forced her to depend more and more upon electric power. During the period of 1914 to 1918 more than one hundred million dollars was ex pended on water power electric plant? by electric companies in Turin and Mi lan. Italy's annual consumption of coal reaches 1 2.000.000 tons. For ;i!l of it she is dependent upon either Cngland or America. The war naturally made the transportation of it difficult prob lem so Italian engineers were forced to build large hydro-electric stations. ! Italy could save at least three-fourths j of her coal consumption, by using b'-r ! water power according i<> Signer M*?f ! feo Pantaleon), engineer and denn of ? Italian economists.

The Sumter County Chamber of] !Commerce requests space to direct to! ithe "attention of the farmers of South! j Carolina, the big farm tractor demon-J jstration to be put an at Sumter next; j week. July 17th and 18th. I ; This instructive and interesting! j demonstration will be given under tbe! official supervision of the Farm Ex- j tension Work of Clemson College, j I Professor D. YV\ Watjcihs, Assistant; Director of Extension having had j charge of the arrangements, and we are informed that he will have one i or possibly more farm tractors and j cultivator experts of his department j lecture on farm tractor possibilities, i It is expected that at least ten of J the most reliable and largest farm tractor factories and agencies of this country will be represented here J with probably twelve or fifteen dif ferent makes of machines, and that ! each tractor company will have ex pert mechanicians and machine ope rators to demonstrate their machines. As.the Sumter County Chamber of Commerce, co-operating with Clem son Agricultural College and the United States Department of Agri culture, under official sanction of the Department of Agriculture and with j our own farm demonstration agent* J. Frank Williams, is naturally very j much interested in every thing |ha? | pertains to the prosperity of the far mers and their families from whom j we all derive our business and pro- j gress. just in proportion as our farm- i ers prosper, and in view of the fur- j ther fact that we realize that the j quickest possitde way in which tc i reach the greatest number of people ! is through newspaper publicity and j newspaper advertising, I am going j to ask your public spirited paper which ; has always, since its first issue, co- ! operated heartily in the upbuilding ? of the agricultural districts, to spread I the information that the Sumter j County Chamber of Commerce ex tends a most cordial invitation, to every farmer in South Carolina who is interested, to visit Sumter on Ju! 17th- and 18th. to see what will b< perhaps the biggest farm ,/tractpi demonstration ever held in the" So'urT"' ern States. 5 ?? ?:. j As tl "s demonstration will be given ; under the official supervision of th' j United States department of agricul- { ture in the Farm Extension Work ?:? j Clemson College, and as Professoi j Watkins I am informed is in a large measure if indeed not primarily, re- I sponsible for the putting on of this \ demonstration, it goes without saying j that this official direction will make ! the demonstration of unusual value j to our farmers. >< Of course, there will be no charge whatever to see this big demonstra- ; tion. and the land selected is pecuii- i arly's?itable I believe to test out fully ' the merits of every machine enter- J ed... .

"A last and final appeal is made to the State of South Carolina to send delegates to the cau cus of The American Legion to be held in Florence, next Wednesday and ; Thursday.- July 1.6th and 17th". said j R. B. Fulton. State Secretary, today, j "Many counties of the State, nave j not responded." he added, "although they have been urged to name five j delegates to., represent them at the j caucus." Mr. Fulton said that the j negro soldiers, marines and sailors of j South Carolina have asked for formal; recognition and admission in the cau-j cus for next week, and the executive ! Committee have taken the matter in hand and refused them admission and recognition. Officials of the South Carolina Branch deem this a very, important matter and one that ! must be solved at the caucus. Unless this State is represented by a full quota of delegates it is declared thai j this question cannot be properly sol- j ved. Unless the white men who saw service in the Great War organize for \ The American Legion, the negro ser- j vice men will, and this State will be represented for The Legion by such j colored organizations Mr. R. Li. Fulton, as State Secre tary, requests that those counties which have not sent in names of representatives, do so at once. A temporary chairman has been nam<-d I in ?-ach county for the purpose of miming delegates, but in those coun ties where delegates have not been ! named tin- executive committee sug gests that some one take the matter! in charge and send five representatives to Florence.

July 13 (By the Associated Press).?Great Brit ain's mammoth trans-Atlantic air pioneer, the dirigible R-34. arrived here at 6.56 o'clock, Greenwich mean time, today, completing her round trip from the British Isles to the Unit ed States and return. The R34 poked her nose out of the. clouds northeast of the village and. after circling the flying field three times, glided gently to the ground and ten minutes later was housed in the dirigible shed. The voyage from Long Island was without particular incident and was completed in approximate*/ 75 hours. Shouts from those on the field greeted the first sight of the long gray body low on the horizon. As the R34 approached the field, she dropped from a height of 5.000 feet to 2,000 feet. The men who were to aid the airship in landing were ordered to their positions and waited silently as the ship circled the field, dropping lower and lower. When Major G. H. Scott, her com mander, had maneuvered the airship into position for the landing, the water ballast was released to steady her and a rope was thrown from the bow. The rope was ?gasped by eager hands and the giant ship moved across the field to the shed where the deli cate operation of berthing her was completed quickly and without acci dent: A military band stationed on the field played ' The Call of Duty" as the airship began to settle and then changed to the strains of "See the Conquering Hero Comes." As the ship was warped into the shed the . band played "Keep the Home Fires Burn ing." The crowd was too intent in watching the ship to notice the mu sic while the whirr of the propellers made it inaudible to the men in the R34. The tired, unshaven, but smiling men who composed the cr*>w quickly climbed from the gondola and were greeted, warmly and with many slaps on the back by the officers and sol diers gathered on the field. ' The voyage home has been with out incident." said Major Scott. "We want breakfast." After breakfast and enjoying the belated luxury of his little black pipe, smoking not being permitted on the airship. Major Scott told the storyr of the return flight as follows: "We estimated we would make it in from 70 to 80 hours,'r'he said. "We made it in 75. When-we left we had a strong wind behind us and we cov ered the first 800 miles in about eight hours. When we circled over Xew York we could' plainly see the crowds on Broadway, waving to us as we passed, but we could not hear them because of the: noise of the en gines. "South of Newfoundland we en countered head winds and our prog ress from then on whs slower. We traveled at an average height of from 3.0'tO to 5.000 feet and found much low clouds and fog. Once we saw nothing but fop: for 24 hours. ' We struck Ireland at Clifden and maJe good progress from there, al though our steering . engine broke down Saturday morning. We started with 4.900 gallons of gasoline and had l.ooo left. ? ?? "We arc naturally pleased with the trip, all of us. I expect important j changes in the size and speed in the j future airships, the big ships that travel 70 to 80 miles an hour and pow erful enough to crawl through any thing." "This has been a great trip." said Col. W. N. Hensley. Jr.. of rhe United States army air service, as he climbed out of the car. "We were lost one whole day because of the fog. which was so thick we could not get a shot at the sun. moon, stars or horizon, but we worked out' of it and'struck the Irish coast. We passed over thoTsle of Man about -3 o'clock this morning and then mounting above the clouds witnessed a most beautiful sight. Above was the bright moon; below soft fleecy clouds touched with all the colors of the rainbow and far down below occasionally could be seen the dark, deep blue of the*sea. But we did not have time to admire the beauty of the scene. "We soon passed over Liverpool and the northern cities and towns and here we are. We suffered no hard ships and no inconveniences except that we had no hot water for shav ing. Our eggs were cooked in the exhaust of the engine and we had plenty of other good food and coffee, tea and cocoa to drink. No one suf fered from air sickness and while the. sea below was tossed by a 40 mil" gale, we were moving along in com fort on an even keel. 'Regular airship service between Europe and America is bound to come and soon." Tlv> members of the crew were eagerly surrounded by friends, who were waiting :it the airdrome. George Graham, tin- chief engineer, proudly carried his pet kitten which was born :i! Fast Fortune. The kitten suffered no inconveniences during the trip and manifested its delight on reaching; land again by jumping on the back* of its master's friends. "We were- never out of touch with the world, although we met a I<?t of fo.tr." said Lieut. R. O. Durant the wireless operator. "It was hot in New York, cold in flu- Middle Atlantic and you sc.- h<>w it is here. W< signaled two ships. ih<> Cumberland, and one going to Mexico. When they asked in who we were, we said that we were ;i British airship from Xew York to England. Their wireless operators expressed surprise. They had beer, at sen some time and di<l not know about us." Supt. S. H.

Smith having- seen the announcement that in the opening up ot trade be tween this country and Germany the embargo would be retained on potash importations into tin- United* States.! called or; Acting Secretary Polk at j th<- state department. The South Carolina senator inform-' |ed Secretary ['oik that he had state ments from citizens <>:' his State as well as articles published in the press calling attention to the alleged disas-| trous effect of certain American pot ash on tobacco and cotton in the! South. ; Senator Smith pointed out the ah-, solute necessity of potash along the! entire coastal plain from Maine to j Florida especially in the South. He| added that according to statements] made by certain witnesses before a! committee of the house of represen-1 tatives, German potash as well as Al satian potash can be delivered in this country around $15 to $20 a ton for what is known as kainit, while the American article would be something like $150 to $200 a ton. hut of a; higher percentage of potash. ? Secretary Polk was sufficiently im- j pressed to suggest that a conference j be held between the secretary of the J interior, the secretary of war and the ; department of State looking to the j proper adjustment ot" the matter. Sen-j ator Smith believes that the result; will be the lifting of the embargo on j the importation of potash. .! Hagood "Xews and Views. If any think it an easy task to write a readable, a sensible letter, CS: j pecially under certain conditions, where one's vocabulary is limited, un certain then must they have a talent, j a cultivated talent for that*'w'sort of j thing. There are times in *he life of most mortals when their whole being-) is atingle with expression, when feel- j ing runs rampant, and plunges} awkwardly it may be madly, by lack i of language restrained, and' overriding! all barrier's, rushes effectively, wildly j it may be. eloquently, proudly on- i ward, the aroused soul. ?? The above is amiss for 1 merely | wanted to say I was at a loss where or how to begin this letter. Oh yes, 1 have something, a whole lot to write | about but selection out of a mass is troublesome. The other week the county super intendents, some of them, some school trustees, etc.. were here, and some of i them, I think it is to the credit (?) j of the trustees and the soforth, made the fact evident by the great halibaloo.j and horse laughs they pulled off. es pecially when other folks were trying to sleep. Perhaps the annals of South Carolina may record some good they did but surely its quest must be after the manner of Diogenese. In my former letter mention was made of the State Superintendent. To the good people of the State who are fortunate enough to know him he I needs no commendation, but to the rest I say he is the right man in the right place. As to the personnel of the instruc tors it is sufficient to say their ap pointment is due to their equipment, the character of their work being that of masters, and this from all the best points of view. Timely and right adjustments are pleasing, happy, give excellent results. Dr. Johnson, president of Winthrop College. Ts the summer school worth it: name?
