FOR A GREAT CAUSE.

Interest seems to be tagging in the
campaign for contributions to the ma
tional finance committee. Americus
has not fulfilled expectations up to this
time and before long the crucial time
in the life of the party will have ar
riyed-without adequate funds to carry
on this gigantic campaign.
1t takes money to publish the enor-
nous volumes of campaign literature !;
keep your movement going in the
doubtful states; pay the expenses of
the campaign orators-all of that
comes under the head of money, and a
great amount of money.
Georgia is giving half-hearted rally
TO the cause, and of course it will be-
come stronger. We want it now. The
future Of the Democratic party is de-
pendent on the showing made in this
year of crisis, trouble and anxiety.
Of course, should the reported plans
tc take the state of Georgia away from
wilson mature, there will certainly b
a fight, and one which will long be re.

me after the invitations had been ac-
Il cepted that the U. c. V. would receive a
warmer welcome than had ever been
/ given the G. A. R., not because they
were any better blovd, but rather be-
cause of the pride of all our people in
the valor and sacrifices shown by the
Confederate soldiers in striving to
maintain tn ideals of the Confederacy.
When it comes to be thoroughly I'M
derstood that in our 1917 reunion the
u. c. V. are simply to be the guests Of
our national capital, which is now pre-
Earing to give us warm welcome, all
will go smoothly. On the one side,
every loyal Confederate, no matter
what he may have thought about ac-
cepting the invitation will acquiesce In
the decision of the majority; and all Of
our comrades will, of course. strictly
observe the cardinal rule of the hospi-
tality for which the South is famous

to do or say anything offensive to the
other. Thus Confederates will be
marching in the lines marked out for
them by General Lee in his farewell
address to his army, and by his whole
subsequent life.
"On the other hand, nobody under
stands the rules of hospitality better
than the city authorities at Washing
ton. These authorities had not as
sumed the obligations of host when the
U. D. C. held their 1912 convention at
the national capital; yet all Washing
ton, official and non-official, opened its
hear. and its doors to our Southern
women, and gave them a reception that
won them completely. With the city
authorities now our responsible hosts,
taking counsel with and aided by lead
ing residents, Confederates as well as
broad-minded Union soldiers, with
whom the invitation originated the re-
cepticn to the Confederate soldiers will
undoubtedly eclipse that given to the
Daughters.

THE PROPER SEED.

Of utmost importance in connection
with the successful fight on the boil
weevil is the pro~er selection of seed
for planting in the regions infested
and despoiled by the pest. Competent
authorities tell us that certain yariet-
les of seed should be planted in GER
tain sections, and that this move will
go long ways towards setting the
deadly work of the menace at the
lowest possible loss.
A meeting will be held here Wednes-
day, October 18th, under the auspices
o. the state board of entomology at
which well known agents and author
itias will talk on the boil weevil-the
means, plans and ways to fight him,
and above all comes with this advice,
the reasons why you should follow
these instructions.
For number of years the state
board has been using the farm of Mr..
NJ. B. Council, of this county, for ex-
periments with the best. varieties of
seed for this section. The wonderful
success is known to every one who
keep posted with the results of the
planting of the varieties on this we'll
TODD farm.
There is the same amount of comman
sense in planting certain varieties of
seed in certain sections as there is in
using different kinds of seed for fruit
in specified regions, and so on with
every species of perishables in every
section.
Sumter is getting down to hard
digging on the boil weevil proposition.
It is necessary-for this is no child's
play. They tell US that the boil weevil |
IS ninety per cent. scare, and ten per
cent. damage-but that is true, where
lie farmers follow the directions and
Instructions of authorities who have
become known in their work through I
heir accomplishments
A feature of the meetings is the

he Georgia Fruit Exchange, is taking
He tells the farmer that this well
Known marketing organization will
care for his crops other than cotton,
n car load lots. The market is ready
so the farmer can diversity, and not
hide the city with the retaliatory
statement that he can't raise anything
nut cotton, because he can't sell any
hing else.
There are some skeptics, prone to
mock and unable to believe the man
Who speaks to them as an authority.

ldvice of these men. They think they

TAXI SHORTAGE IN LONDON

London, Feb. 1.-The taxi short
age in London has caused the public
ITO fl the mail bags of the local
newspapers with complaints regard
ing the insolence of drivers and the
whist;ing nuisance. During rush
hours, especially during dinner and
theater times, drivers often refuse
to take fare unless they chance to
be going in the direction the driver
favors. This is due to the rule that
drivers when not carrying passen-
gers must pay for their own gaso-
line. A movement for law to pre-
vent the use of whistles to call taxis
is suggested, but while putting down
nuisance, it would not help trans
portaticn facilities.
The real trouble is traced to the
enlistment of competent drivers. Be-
cause Of this, some of the taxi COM
panies have temporarily retired from
business, Scotland Yard has hindered
the substitution of new drivers by a
refusal to relax on the strict geogra-
phical examination of former days.
Then, every candidate had to show
an intimate knowledge of London s
streets and by-ways. Many women
could easily qualify on the mechar-
ical side and show a fair general
knowledge of London, if the rules
were relaxed. Meantime, Londoners
who used to look down on plebeian
modes of travel are taking to the
undergrounds and the buses, which
maintain excellent services notwith-
standing the war.

GOOD FOR FLORIDA
IF BILL BECOMES LAW

Washington, Feb. = Highway
improvement in the State of Florida
will be given big boost if the good
roads bill, which has just passed the
House OF Representatives by a ma
jority of 2s1 to 81, becomes a law.
Under that bill the State of Flor
ida is to receive from the Federal
treasury $22O,34S per annum to aid
in the construction and improvement
of roads. OF this amount $65,000 is
a specific annual appropriation, such
as goes to every other State, and the
balance represents Floridas pro
rata, based on population and mile
age of rural and star mail routes, the
theory of the bill being federal aid
in the construction and maintenance
of rural post roads.
Florida, by the last census, had
752,619 inhabitants, or so per cent
of the entire population of the Unit
ed States. Its pro rated share of the
$25,0C0,00G carried by the bill, on
the score of population, is $S9,70S.
Of rural free delivery routes Flor
ida has 1888, with an aggregate of
5,5i6 miles. 1t has l76 star routes
and their aggregate length is 1,716.

rural routes and star routes in the
