What do these words, when used
together. mean? Webster's Diction-
ary defines:
Quite-Completely, wholly, entire
iy. totally, TO q great degree or ex-
tent. etc.
Few-Not many. small in number
etc.
Little-A small quantity, anything
small. not much, In small degree
etc.
Now. II appears to us that the put
ting OF the word quite" before few
or little" reduces the amount ex-
pressed by few or little: and, having
regard for the uncorrupted English
we wonder how few or how little is
meant.
In our opinion quite a few" Is not
only slang. but corruption OF oul
language that should not be coun.
tenanced.

PROMINENT SPEAKERS COMING;
Representatives of Clemson, Carolina
and Winthrop at Educational AMI
Civic Rally.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by The Item and will no doubt
prove of much interest, as the two
| gentlemen mentioned are well known
and popular speakers and will be
neard with the greatest interest bv
many people here, as will the repre-.
sentative Of the third college named: ::
AT the beginning of this year, tho
Extension forces Of Clemson, VIM
throp and the University Of South
Carolina decided to unite insofar as
possible for the educational advance
ment of the State. The first thing
agreed upon was the holding Of a Sc
ries of three meetings at which rep-
resentatives of these institutions
would speak from the same platform.
outlining the plans and explaining the
steps to be taken for a Statewide
campaign of educational and civic
progress. After considerable discus
sion and deliberation, the three places
for these meetings were determined
upon as follows: Anderson, Sumter
and Rock Hill.
The Sumter meeting will be held
Thursday evening, November 18th in
the Court House. Supt. S. H. Ed
munds is taking an active interest in
it and is looking after the making Of
local arrangements.
The meeting promises to be of par
tlcular interest and Importance. Glenn,
son Is sending as it's speaker, Prof
ID. w. Daniel, one Of the best known
and most charming lecturers in South
Carolina. His work as platform
manager of the Boosters Chautauoua
last summer received favorable COM
ment from all sides. Prof. Josiah
Morse, Of the Department of Psyche
logy and Philosophy, has been selected
by the University of South Carolina.
DR.. Morse is one Of the most eminent
scholars Of the University Faculty and
may always be counted on to have a
strong, original and constructive ad-
dress. President Johnson of Winthrop
has not indicated who the Winthrop
choice will be, but it Is certain that a
speaker worthy of the great institu.
ton at Rock Hill, will be selected.
Il am writing to ask that you will
be 50 kind as to give the meeting all
possible advertisement and publicity
We at the University hold Sumter as
one Of the strongest towns in tho
State and feel that we can rely upon
1t always to rally to any movement
looking towards the common welfare
of the State. Please get in touch with
supt. Edmunds and do whatever you
can to make the meeting a SUCCESS,
Very truly yours. ,,.. /,

The conspirators, who are burning
manufacturing plants. in which arms
and ammunition are made, and de-
stroying ships with bombs. are MAX
Ing war on the United States, al
though their operations are secret
and not In the open. These conspira-
tors are certainly not operating as in
dividuals or on their own responsible
ity, and there must be some organi-
ration with ample money back Of
them. The campaign OF destruction
that they are waging against the prop
erty OF American citizens, and waging
IL as they do with a total disregard Of
the lives OF the workmen employed In
the factories and OF the crews and
passengers aboard the ships, Is an
outrage and an affront to the nation.
There should be laws to punish con-
spirators of this character. and means
should be found to enforce the law
with the utmost severity against all
involved. from the highest to the low
e7t. No guilty man should be permit
tel TO escape. no matter how exalted
his official position.
III IL be true that the Pope told the
Kaiser Wilhelm that he should evac-
uate Belgium before undertaking TO
talk OF peace, the Pope will hence
forth be persona non grata in imper-
ial German circles. since his alleged
statement in reference to Belgium was
an implied criticism of the German
devastation of that country.
The attitude OF the London Specta-
tor and other English newspapers, IL
,ney reflect the official opinion of
Great Britain. Is an indication of Sc
r'ous trouble between this country
and the Allies before the end of the
war. IL England takes the position
That the serious protest of the United
states against the illegal interference
With American commerce can be ig-
nored and the acts complained of con-
tinued. the men who are directing the
English policy fail to understand the
American temperament and are play

AMERICUS PLANT
SHIPS THOUSAND
DOZ. HOEHANDLES

Sixty thousand hoehandles Made in
Sumter" will be the output this
spring of little industry established
near Americas two years ago by Cap
tain M. B. Council, himself practical
farmer and most excellent judge of d
hoehandle. The success of the little
handle mill has long ago exceeded ex-
pectations and the capacity would have
to be greatly increased if the owner
sold as many handles as the market
demanded.
Yesterday Captain Council shipped
to Atlanta solid carload of hoehan-
dies, one thousand dozen, and will
make other large shipments as well, as
orders pour in upon him about as fast
as his mill can produce the goods.
And it is fine handle, too, made OF
virgin pine of best quality, and put up
neatly in bundles of dozen each.
Capt. Council established his hoe
handle mill, originally, to make han
dies for use upon his own plantation,
but when the merits of his product be-
came known to the trade there at once
sprung up a demand for the Council
hoehandle, and ever since the little
mill down on the farm" has been
working overtime to the end of filling
orders. Probably 5000 dozen handles
constitute the annual output
1t demonstrates the possibilities OF
small manufacturing enterprises in
Americas; which the Times Recorder
has, in the past, and will ever continue
to urge upon our people.

Orders sent him, and filled by parcel

delivered by carrier in Americas to
the consumer Immediately upon arrival

Simple and easy, the plan is the
best one ever evolved.
Not only does it direct people here in
town to those who have produce at
home to sell, but it helps the farmer
by affording a daily market for his
surplus products. Yesterday several
ladies who reside in the country and
having such produce to sell, called for
and filled out blanks and hung them
upon the bulletin board. 1t costs not
penny, and should prove of inesti-
mable value to producers and consum-

AMERICAN WOMEN
SUPERINTENO GIVING
FOOD TO SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press.)

L
LONDON, Feb. 13.-Under supervis-
ion by American women, cahteens are
to be established at all the leading rail-
way stations in London, where sand
wiches coffee and other light refresh.
ments will be supplied free to soldiers
in uniform.
Thousands of soldiers pass Though
London daily. frequently without suf-
ficent money to buy food.
In work at railway stations, the
American women who have been look
ing after stranded Americans and Bel
gian refugees, have learned of the
great need for canteens where the
soldiers can be promptly provided with
nourishing food without cost. The War
Office is so well impressed with the
women's plan that its assistance in
carrying on the work has been as
sured.
Mrs. Viola Scott, Mrs. A. T. Stewart
and a score of other American women
who have been assisting travellers ever
since the opening of the war are the
prime movers in the plan and have the
backing of the entire American Wo-
mems War Relief Committee.
Mrs. Benjamin Lathrop, who is one
of the most active workers in the
French Emergency Committee organic
ell to supply the immediate needs of
hospitals in the north of France, has
interested Mrs. H. C. Hoover and many
other American women in this partic-
ular movement and is collecting gem
erous quantities of ether and other
hospital supplies so sadly needed in
many of the isolated hospitals near
the battle line. Mrs. Lathrop left Lon
don this week for an inspection tour in
Northern France
The Duchess of Marlborough has
accepted the craftsmanship of the phil
anthropic committee of the Society of
American Women in London. This al
ready has c number of workrooms es-
tablished for the employment of wo-
men thrown thrown out of work by
the war, but the need is so great that
a marked extension of this work is
planned. Mrs. A. T. Stewart, with the
assistance of this committee, has Just
opened workroom at 1913 Victoria
Street, where INDECENT gentlewomen
will be afforded an opportunity to earn
living. At present fifty women are
afforded employment there, most of
them knitting supplies required by the
army.

LONDON, Feb. IA daily ration Of
rum is still part of the regular supplies

In some quarters fears have been ex-
pressed that the distribution of an al

lead some of the men to form perman-
ent habits of drinking, but army lead
