Everybody Has Money at Lake City.

The Lake City correspondent OF
the New and Courier says: An air
of prosperity prevails here that has
been heretofore unknown, and both
the tobacco farmers and the hands
that have been employed in growing
and now in marketing the crop seem
alike to have plenty of money and
are spending it freely. Debts that
have been contracted ard left stand
ing for the past two or three years
in many instances have been already
retired, one old negro having been
heard on the streets to make the
statement that he had not before
been out of debt for sixteen years,
but had now paid up and had all of
his papers.
There is now on deposit with the
two local banks more than one mil
lion and quarter dollars, which is
greater by far than any deposits
that have ever been carried: The
prosperity of the community is
further shown by the evidences on
the streets daily of new buggies as
we'll as new automobiles, and orders
for some of the makes of the latter
exceed the ability of the dealers to
supply.
Business has been unusually good
ever since tobacco commenced COM
ing in, all of the stores here having
enjoyed fine trade, and already
two cars of new mules have been
shipped in here from the West and
been disposed Of. Three new stores
have Just been completed and with
in the next few days will be occupied
by the owners.
Within the next few weeks it is
expected that ] M Truluck will com.

will utilize all of the rooms above
his block of four stores. This will
give the town much needed enter.

FIRST OF DRAFT EXAMINED,
Local Board Completed Examination of
456 Men Yesterday.

The local examining board for the
selective draft took up its arduous
task of examining 480 men sum-
moned to present themselves Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday. there
being 100 summoned for each of
these days. Of the entire number,
"a failed to appear before the board.
Three of these, however, had prevl-
ously entered the naval service.
Others who failed to report were
certified as eligible for service.
There were 112 of the draft re-
jected by the medical examiners on
account of variety of physical
defects.
Of those who passed as physically
fit for the service. 245 claimed ex-
emption. while only 80 claimed no
exemption.
As the situation now stands aOout
one Of five is ready for service, and
IT Wi. require some tlli!" YET ~ ue-
termne just how manl II the men
who have claimed eXempti2a will
actually lie exempted by the District
Board. Each one claiming exemp-
ton has ten days in which to file
atfidavits to substantiate his claim.
Passing up those who claimed eX-
emption and those rejected, and
at the rate of SO out of the number
already drawn, it would require the
examination of $40 additional men
to make up the county's quota in
the draft. However, it is hardly
probable that very large percent
age of 245 claiming exemption will
be excused from service.

The New Officers.

There are manv who envy tie
splendid young South Carolinlans
who have won commissions at the
officers training camps. 1t is very
great honor which has come to them
as result of their patriotism, their
ability, and the earnestness they have
shown in the rigorous course of
training through which they have
passed. 1t is an honor for which
many of them have sacrificed much
and for which all of them have work
cd conscientiously and hard.
What lies ahead of them none can
foretell. They will take their places
soon as officers in the army of the
United States at time when this
nation is involved in the greatest war
in all history and when, unless all
signs fail, a mighty eXertion OF Amer
ica's strength is needed to assure VIC
tory. Theirs will be posts of danger.
Unless the end of the great struggle
is nearer at hand than most of US
row suspect, some of them will make
The SUpl enc sacrifice.
Come what may. we know that
they will reflect honor upon South
Carolina. These are strange times.
The lives of these young men have
been marvelously changed but so tar.
assuredly, it has not been a change
for the worse. They are better men
now than they were before this eX-
perience came to them-blgger,
broader, with a firmer grasp upon
fundamental realities. Perhaps IN
this new field some of them have
great careers ahead of them. They
have done their duty so far and have
emerged with credit from a hard
test and this is an augury of what
may be expected of them in the fu-
ture-Neps and Courier.

Canning Peaches.

If peaches are packed in the jars
with the pit cavity down, more fruit
can be put into the containers and a
finer looking product is obtained.
Peaches should be washed careful
ly in cold water, dipped into boiling
water a moment or two until the
skin slips and then into cold water
for an instant. The skin is then
slipped off, the peaches cut into
halves and the pits removed and the
halves packed into jars with pit cavity
down. A few pits should be placed
near the bottom of the jar to give
flavor to the fruit. Add medium
syrup boiling hot to fill jars, partial
ly tighten tops and sterilize for six
teen minutes in boiling water. Af-
ter complete sterilization, remove
jars from the boiling water. tighten
tops and invert to cool in place free
from draughts. Then wrap in dark
paper to prevent loss of color. label
and store in cool, dry place.

Don't Play the Clam.

Wby is there so little interest. ap-
parently. being manifested in the
approaching town election? So far it
doe sn't appear to US that there Is
enough interest in the affair on the
part of our citizens to make up n
ticket, much l2Ss make the election
of these officials matter Of contest
between ca..Ci iateS. Certainty 1t Is
not because Of a lack Of capahllty
on the part Of many of them to nj
the offices. for. on the other hand,
there are really dozens ofmen good
citizens of the toNn-who are Wor-
thy, well qualified, and would doubt
less make valuable officers. AS a
matter of fact. the people of the
town regard the selection of their
municipal officers with entirely too
little concern. They fail to look upon
the nomination and election of mu-
nicipal candidates seriously. This
should not be the case. Every citizen
should have pride andinterestenough
in the town to put forth little effort
and the best material in'this direction.
Here we are on the eve of town
election when a mayor, six aldermen
and one commissioner of public works
are to be chosen by ballot. So far
there are not enough candidates an
nounced for these important offices
to complete the ticket. When call
was published some time ago for a
meeting of the Kingstree democratic
club, with view to arranging for
the election, etc. only two men were
present in response to the lcall, and
n0tnlnSs was QOne.
Every taxpayer in the town should
feel an interest in this matter, more
especially those who own real prop
erty in town. Certainly every cne
wants a real live, progressive mayor
and a board of aldermen who will
direct the towns affairs wisely and
use its money economically and to
the best advantage; yet so few seem
to want job as one Of these public
servants.
Remember, fellow citizens. that
the town of Kingstree is growing; it
has been growing for some ten or
twelve years and its public Offices
are gradually becoming more impor.
tant; the responsibilities that rest
upon the officials are likewise in.
ereasing and there must be men to
fill these offices. Progressive men
are needed; men who can see and
realize the needs of a growing town.
In short; men who can take up the
serious responsibilities that devolve
upon them from time to time as off,
eials, and bear them with honor to
themselves, with credit to their town
and to the satisfaction of the tax
payers. Don't. at this time. fail to
become a candidate for any Office
that you may feel, by occupying,you
could be of service to the town and
your fellow citizens, then later crit.
icise the acts Of those who may be
forced into the office you had thought
of announcing your candidacy for.
If you are going to play the clam
now, just go down in the mud and
keep quiet until the tide comes in
two years hence. The municipal pri-
mary election will be held Tuesday.

LUNCHEON FOR GAM

There is probably no city in the
country where the spirit of good fell
lowship reigns more supreme than
among Minneapolis musicians and
music lovers. This led, several years
ago, to the musicians banquet which
was voted an annual affair Here
lack of organization was felt and a
permanent organization was formed,
known as the Civic Music League.
Last week the league opened the
season with an informal luncheon Civ

wOOD PURCHASED BY THE CITY

There was a special meeting of
the city council on Thursday evening
to consider the purchase of the wood
cut by the Heinemann Lumber COM
pany, which was partially entered in
| to by the mayor and G. B. Bird
president of the Marathon County
committee of the Council, E. A. Dunn
Sr., Patrick German and Alderman
H. E. Damon.
Mayor Marquardt made a statement
to the council regarding the PROPOSE
ton; that the company had agreed
to sell the city the wood for $375 a
cord for hemlock and $500 a cord
for hardwood; that the company
could sell the wood to parties out
side of sWausau for a higher price,
but is was desirable to keep the wood
at home. In addition to the price of
the wood asked by the company, there
would have to be charged the cost
of hauling.
After some discussion the following
resolution was adopted, which auth
orized the mayor and city clerk to
enter into the purchase of the wood,
viz:
"Be it resolved by the common
council of the city of Wausau that
the report of the mayor be adopted
and the mayor and clerk are here
with directed to enter into a con-
tract with the B. Heinemann Lumber
company in accordance with said re-
port; further, that the mayor and
city clerk enter into a contract for
the handling and delivery of the
wood with the lowest responsible
bidder"

SUGAR SUPPLY

There are many stories floating
about concerning the sugar supply.
In Wausau there is an apparent
shortage and housewives have had to
be contented with limited purchases.
The report here has gone out that
there is going to be sugar famine.
Earl D. Babst, who is at the head of
the American Refinery, says there is
no justification in the scare. In testi-
flying before the senate investigating
committee he said that there is go
ing to be a plentiful supply of sugar
the coming year and that by placing
a limit on domestic consumption
would result in a larger surplus than
the tonnage shortage would permit to
be shipped abroad. Half of the
worlds sugar crop, outside of the
central powers, is produced by the
United States, it's territories and Gu
ba, and if properly distributed this
production is more than enough to
meet domestic demands as we'll as
supply all that can be shipped to the
