Crates For Truck Secretary Reardon* drying to Assist Smnier County Truckers In order to facilitate, if possible, the purchase of baskets, crates, and hampers for shipping truck, Secre tary Reardon has " sent in the j names and addresses of all the truck growers he knows of to four crate factories, with the request that these factories will immediate ly quote prices in carlot and less than carlot shipments to truckers. The names of the factories written to are given for information ot truck growers who may want to write without awaiting quotations from the factories: Mt. Olive Manufacturing Co., Mt. Olive, X. C. Farmers' Manufacturing Co., Norfolk, Va. W. B. Rast & Son, Swansea, S. C. Green Crate and Box Company, Williston, S. C. The first two named factories have already sold crates, basket-, and hampers to Sumter county truckers, and the last two' named were recommended by County Agent; Gray of Clarendon county, who ordered baskets and barrels for Clarendon county farmers from these two concerns. As soon as quotations are ' re ceived it is suggested that there be a meeting of truck growers at Sum ter and as many as possible pool their purchases and order retainers in carlot shipments because the prices in quantities as well as the freight rates will be considerably cheaper. In Clarendon county*, the county agent Mr. Gray says that the bean and Irish, potato growers met at the court house and put up the cash for the retainers, plus the freight charges and the money was deposited to the credit of the coun ty agent who paid for the baskets and barrels o narrival. Xo time is to be lost if the retainers are to be secured in time. In the meantime when price quotations are obtained the chamber of commerce will be glad to furnish information to every truck grower in Sumter, Lee and Clarendon counties who apply for this information. A/iy in forma tio nregarding the best and the quickest way to secure retainers will be appreciated by Secretary Reardon who will do the best he j knows how to assist the truck j growers.

Woodrow Wilson Foundation "Do you covet distinction? You will never, get it by serving your self. Do you covet honor?- You will get it only as a servant of mankind."?Woodrow Wilson's ad dress at Swarthmore College, Oc tober 5, 1913. The world is poorer for the men and wealth that were poured into the furnaces of war. It is richer for the regenerated spirit of ideal ism that burnished the record of j four terrible years, and the leader of that spiritual force which en listed the hopes of mankind was an An _*rican?Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson saw beyond the momentous conflict of his day and made clear to men certain ideals of world relationship that helped them to prosecute the ugly busi ness of war until victory rested with the people of democracy. Plain men, the men in the ranks, had begun to believe that the world had come to a pass where living was beyond endurance; yet they felt, vaguely maybe, that they were fighting and dying to estab lish some principle of human free dom which would in effect consti tute a rebirth of civilization. It remained for the American to be come their highly articulate spokes man. Ry word and deed he clari fied the issue so that all the world could see it as a struggle between democracy and autocracy. Those years are rapidly reced ing into the background. Wood row Wilson has passed from the political stage. Much that he set out to do is still undone. Some believe that he failed utterly. But the number grows, and will con tinue to grow, of those who see through the confusion of conflict ing opinion to the epic fight for an American for a great American ideal?for democracy and human freedom. Any student of Mr. Wilson's life, any undertaking related to him, must come to consider this ques-. tion: What is the motive that actu ated him in his public life? His ideals have been published to the world: but what is the source from which they come? The answer seems to be found in those words uttered early in his first term as President of the United States. "Do you covet distinction? You will never get it by serving yourself. Do you covet honor? You will get it only as a servant of mankind." The foundation created in his name can find no better watch words. ??? ? ? ?

The house bill providing $500,000 addi tional for the department of justice for prosecution of fraudulent con tracts was passed today by the senate and now goes to President Harding for approval. There was no opposition and ht I tie discussion of the bill which was urged by the president and attor ney General Daugherty. Upon re ceipt from the house the measure promptly was given unanimous ap | proval by the senate appropriation* committee and was put through the senate by unanimous consent. Senator King, Democrat, Utah, said that the department of jus tice had not brought prosecutions under the anti-trust law as vigor ously as. he would have desired an ously as he would have desired and he hoped the additional appropria- j tions would bring commensurate results. Reorganizations of the depart ment of justice to provide a sep arate bureau for prosecution of war fraud cases is under way. The bureau will probably be outside of the department it was said in or der that its work might be expe dited as much as possible. ? At the same time Attorney Gen eral Daugherty has ordered other administrative changes looking to the speeding up of the depart ment's work. .? - T "' ? m*H? ? ?>? Shoots Nephew^ , Kills Himself Ben -Snyder and Uncle, R. Miles, in Affray at Mullins Mullins, May 17?R. Miles is dead and Ben Snyder probably fa tally wounded as the recult of a clash this morning about 10.30 c'clock. Two pistol shots in one of the principal stores and the sreams of a woman attracted many but no one entered the store until the arrival of Chief D. B. William son. Ben Snyder, owner of the busi ness, was seen coming out of the front door with his shirt stained with blood and blood flowing from his breast. He was followed by his wife who was panic stricken. To oil inquiries as to the 'shooting, she seemed deaf and it was some time before the crowd knew who had done the shooting and that R. Miles was dead between clothing racks in the rear of the store. Chief Williamson entered and found Mr. Miles lying on his face with a pistol, 32-caliber, lying near his right side. Examination by the officer showed that there were two empty cartridges and it was sup posed that Mr. Miles shot Mr. Sny der and then turned the gun on himself. The bullet that killed Mr. Miles entered the right temple and blew his brains out. It appears that Mrs. Snyder was the only person in the store besides the two principals to the tragedy and she was over on the dry goods side with a wall separating them. On hearing the shots she is said to Ifave run to the scene, being met by Snyder who was reported as saying to her that "Miles has killed me." He staggered on out to the door. He reached the middle of the street when someone assisted him and carried him over to Dr. Smith's office where an examination was hurriedly made before carrying him to the hospital. Mr. Synder gave it as his opinion it is said, that Mr. Miles was mo mentarily insane. He repeated this assertion time and again and fur ther said that Mr. Miles entered the j store in the early morning and wanted settlement for an iron safe which he had sold to Snyder, and contended for a sum in excess of the agreed price. Snyder is a nephew of miles and both have been in the clothing and dry godos business here for a num ber of years. Mr. Miles was the oldest clothing merchant in Mullins and by hard work and attention to business he had amassed a small fortune. About ninty days ago he sold out his business to Snyder.

Mobley Delivers Splendid Lecture at Lyric Theatre Monday Afternoon Mr. H. S. Mobley, of the agricul tural extension department of the International Harvester Company, a noted lecturer and successful ru ral economist, delivered an excel lent lecture on Monday afternoon at the Lyric theatre, his subject be ing "The Stepmother of the Hu man Race, the Dairy Cow." The meeting was well attended and every one present must certainly have been impressed by the sound ness of the facts as were present ed by Mr. Mobley who speaks to his audiences with a frankness that comes from a wealth of first hand knowledge and experience in the dairy business. Mr. Mobley was aided in his vivid presentation of his subject by the use of a very excellent collection of charts on which were shown many graphic representations of accurate statis tics concerning dairying as a busi ness and showing many types of cows and other matters of careful concern. Mr. Mobley went care fully into his subject and explain ed in detail each chart as it was brought before the attention of the audience. ?'? LET THEft HELP PULL THE LOAD In his talk here Mr. H. S. Mob ley used the above chart with tell ing effect. "To harness a cow and a hen and a hog to furnish farm power would be a huge joke to most of us," said Mr. Mobley. "That was the way it appeared to a school boy at one of my meetings. When he saw the chart, he laughed aloud and said. 'That kind of a team isn't worth much.' "Thousands of us "have the same idea, but it is a mistaken idea. The patient cow, the indus trious hen, the fast-growing hog, produce results that are astonish ing. Each year this team produces for the farmers, approximately $4, 430,000,000. If this amount were equally distributed among our six and one-half million farms, it would give each farm more than $700 a year. "From the standpoint of pro duction this is the most powerful team a farmer can use. I have never knowp a farmer who used this kind Of a team who did not make a good living and a reason able amount qf money besides." The meeting in Sumter was backed by Secretary E. I. Reardon of the .Chamber of Commerce, Mr. C. W. Schmolke, dairy expert and by the Jennings-Blanding Live Stock Company. Pisgah Xcws and Views. Pisgah, May 15.?Friday, May 5th a cloud burst occurred here and went in a narrow streak across the state as far as Marlboro. It was the heaviest fall of water here in years and did a great deal 'of damage. Cotton was killed by it, and now the land is planted in corn. Crops are looking very well. ! Wheat no good; fall oats very good. Owing to the numerous suicides I and killings in this state, Ken tucky has lost out and South Car olina has won. ! All honor to the supreme court in its effort to put ?i stop to appeals that have no meric in them. Rev. Dendy, the Pisgah pastor, preached a great sermon yesterday at Pisgah church. His theme was Mother, and his discourse was worthy of the subject and the man ; who preached it. Pisgah church invited the Sun day School convention of the Ker shav. Association to meet here on fifth Saturday and Sunday in July. The First Baptist church of Char leston is the oldest in the south as well as in the state. It was or ganized in 1GS3, one hundred years before the city was incorporated, it has sent out about forty preach ers in its long life. Many of them have and are, great ones. The Pisgah young men's baseball club will serve light refreshments at the Pisgah public school house on Friday evening. May 19th.
