FEEDSTUFT MILD.
w. B. Boyle Company Will Install
Plant to Grind Velvet Beans.

| The Sumter Chamber of Commerce
mas been notified by the w. B. Boy:c
Company. of Sumter, that this firm
has placed an order for two feedstun
grinding mills that will do wonders
for the farmers of Sumter county IN
preparing to raise hogs, beef and dairy
cattle in preparation for the cotton
boil weevil.
This enterprising local firm has
purchased two machines of a kind in
use In Chipley. Ga. by Mr.. d. E.
Floyd. who rumor says has done more
to help the farmers of his section
than any other man to prepare for the
boil weevil and fight it's evil effects.
This feedstuff grinding machine
grinds up to a fine well balanced ra
ton the corn stalks, shucks, cobs,
corn. velvet beans, vines and hulls,
all at one grinding.
The w. b. Boyle Company has pur-
chased one Of the largest of these
machines to be operated for the gen
eral public at the ginnery of the
Farmers Gin Company, and a small
er machine Of the same kind to grind
feedstuff at their stables. After the
ginning season the w. b. Boyle Com
pany will accommodate the farmers
by grinding their feedstuffs at their
stables on the smaller machine.
BY utilizing the entire corn and
velvet bean product the farmers will
have sufficient cheap feedstuffs to
warrant them going into the cream
route business as we'll as raising beef
and dairy cattle and hogs on an eco
nomical and large basis.

SimOndS Indicates FOur-Year War.

Looking at the situation as it now
stands, with the third anniversary of
the struggle in sight. it seems to me
that every sign points toward a four
year war. We shall continue to be
pleased by the optimistic reports that
those who sympathiZe with Russian
sound reason for believing that these
reports do not reveal the extent Of the
Russian collapse. Actually the allied
cause has been deprived of not less
than 100000 soldiers. who were or
ganized and commanded by brilliant
generals. Discipline in these armies
has been destroyed, temporarily at
Ieast.
This collapse has given Germany a
chance to utilize in the West the
troops that otherwise would have been
contained and fully occupied in the
East. 1t has given her another years
supply of men for the West. Her
condition at the end of this time, if
she does not win victory or peace, will
be far worse than before. but this l.
future consideration. Today she is
better off. because she has new di.
visions to draw upon.
A complete collapse of Russia and
| the signing OF separate peace be
tween Germany and Russia will only
make the situation worse. Then
firmly believe the outcome of the war
will depend upon the number OF
| hundreds of thousands of men the
United states can put on the western
front by this time next year. Beyond
next year the war cannot go. Durinf

Tells Them to Their Face.
Cardinal Mercier. of Releiur

cardinal Mercier, of Belgium, is a
brave man and loyal to his people
even unto the uttermost. Though
standing daily within the power Of the
German plunderers and oppressors of
his people, he does not hesitate to
denounce them in language that must
cause gnashing Of teeth. But to de-
stroy cardinal of the Catholic church
Will not do, so they have managed
thus far to keep hands off him.
| Not long ago an effort was made
indirectly to bribe number of priests
to furnish lists of men, which lists
were known by the priests to be want
ed for the purpose of carrying on the
deportation policy. But the priests
refused to do so. Thereupon each of
- priests was fined 100 marks. Car
dinAl Mercier protested at once, and
hafQre finishing his protest wrote these
words into It:
The military governor has had the
hardihood to sentence each one Of 10
priests to pay a fine Of 100 marks for
not having wished to benefit by q
privilege which their conscience for
bade them to accept.
Very we'll: they will pay the 100
marks from their modest salaries or.
If they do not have the means to set
tie 1t. perhaps they will pay with their
liberty for their inability to satisfy
you.
Very we'll again! know the souls
of our priests we'll enough to predict
that they will remain patient. just the
same. They will drink to the dregs
the cup of bitterness that you have
forced to the lips of a people who
never wished you anything but good.
I'VE await our vengeance in pa
tience.
II am not speaking Of our earthly
vengeance. We have that already, for
the regime Of occupation that you
force us to undergo is despised by
everything that is decent In the whole
world. I am speaking of the judg-
ment of history, of the inescapable
punishment Of the God Of Justice.
"And to you who are, if am we'll
informed, son Of the Church of
Christ equally with the most humble
of our workingmen, I dare to add that
you are loading your conscience with
heavy burden in covering with your
high authority military decision that
likens an act Of Christian and pastoral
abnegation to a crime.'
To tell the German masters OF Bel
CIV that their regime "is despised
by .yerthing that is decent in the
whole world is plain and daring
talk.
But the heroic cardinal spoke only
the bald truth. For the German re-
gime in Belgium there is not an apollo
gist left in the world outside middle
Europe. 1t is certainly "despised" with
passionate horror by all Christian peO
Piles. But it took courage to say
those scOrching words to the military
governor of Belgium. Long may tn,
cardinal live and rejoice in a liberated
and restored Belgium-even yet
