What this town needs now more
than anything is some sort Of organ
ization SO that the work which Is to
be done in the civic preparedness
campaign may be done Systematically
and so as to achieve the most results
A chamber of commerce or some
sort OF organization through which
the county agent and those who are
conducting the campaign could CO.
operate and who could assist in 4
way that would be profitable, would
be a great thing. Possibly the best
organized county in the State is Sum
ter and it was worked through the
chamber of commerce in the city OF
Sumter. And Laurens has done the
same thing largely through the Or
ganized commercial body of the city
Money is needed to carry on the work
1, and it could be more eQuitably dis
tributed and collected through an or
ganized body.
But somehow our people do not
seem to realize the good OF an organ
lied commercial body, or if they do
they have never sustained one any
length Of time. Some sort of organ
cation is sadly needed here at this
time

SCHOOL BOYS on THE FARMS.

Judge J. D. Murphy, one of the
most distinguished citizens of Ashe-
Vile, \. c., writes to the Ashevllle
Citizen that eve can best serve the
country by making every acre OF
American soil do its best in the pro-
duction of food crops and goes on 70
make a most practical suggestion:
Let camps for boys be erected IN
three OR four sections of the county
md let all the unemployed boys and
Young men OF the city go to these
camps and offer their services to the
farmers nearby at reasonable wages
% aid in raising food crops. Soon
here will be number Of school boys
out Of employment. Tents can be
rented on very favorable terms.
Results:
''1st. All young men and boys. In
~tead of loafing on the streets, would
be serving their country.
"2nd. Acquisition Of practical know
ledge by the boys and young men.
"3d. Improvement in health.
"4th. Habits Of industry acquired.
"5th. Boys given an opportunity
. earn something for themselves.
18th. The gaining Of knowledge OF
amp life"
We take the above from the edi-
.orial columns OF the Greenville News
of recent date and the suggestion
>f Judge Murphy is worthy of consid-
ration. And there are lot of 9TH
ar people around the towns who seem
% have nothing to do and it would
ee we'll to get them enlisted in this
movement Of food production. There
) no time to waste because the time
or planting is here and II the crops
re not soon planted there can be

And only second in the producing
f the crops is the arrangement for
he marketing, and the preserving Of
~uch crops as are perishable by pro-
iding canning factories and teach

1t has been decided to hold about
% meetings in various sections of the
county next Wednesday night at S:36
o'clock and there will be some one
or two persons present to make short
talks to the farmers and their wives
who may attend These are supposed
to be heart to heart talks about some
matters that very seriously affect the
people Of this country and which
we very much fear the people have
not yet fully realized Corn is now
$500 the bushel and flour s12 the
barrel. and it seems that if some
thing is not done to increase produc-
ton the price will not be the serious
problem but the question will be to
get the food at any price. Coopera-
ton and every one doing his part
S the thing that is needed in this
hour. There is no place in this army
for the drone or the sulker.

GUARDSMAN SHOT
FROM AMBUSH; ONE
POTTER rs KILLED

Minneapolis, April Histories of
the killing of an alleged plotter by
guardsmen, the wounding of four
guardsmen and three alleged plotters
and the court martial of several sup
posed plotters leaked out today, de-
spite the silence of military officials.
Public anger was aroused as the re-
ports of attempted assassination of
guardsmen became known.
Guardsmen yesterday frustrated a
supposed plot to blow up the WASH
burn Crosby flour mills and the st.
Paul railroad bridge at Mendoza, near
here. A stranger seized at the Wash
burn Crosby mills. carried a suitcase
containing 10 sticks of dynamite and
two bottles of nitroglycerine. He was
thrown in the Fort Smelling guard
house and with others taken to the
federal penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth, 1t is believed.
1t Is reported another prowler was
shot to death by sentries at mill here.
Military officials are silent. "A st.
Paul sentry carries a bullet in one leg
today after being fired on from am
bush. Three guardsmen and three ci-
villains are in the Fort Smelling hos
pital as result of frustrated plots.
