SCHOOL RED CROSS.
Auxiliary Chapter Organized I'm the
High School.

A school auxiliary of the Sumter
chapter Of the Red Cross was organ
ized this morning at the Girls High
School. DR.. Edmunds read the pres
ident's proclamation to the children
OF the United States, after which
Mrs. Nina Solomons made a short
talk to the girls, telling them what
the work Of the Red Cross is, and
how it offers an opportunity Of service
to all. She told them that the great
war now being fought is their war
and through this organization they
VIII be enabled to do their part in
the most effective way. Miss Emmie
Osteen read a report of the Red
cross work that has been done by
the Seventh grade since the spring.
The amount of work accomplished by
these grades under the direction OF
their teacher. Miss Harrington.
should certainly prove an inspiration
to all, and makes us realize how
much can be done by concerted ac-
tiOn and the organization of the forces
OF the whole school. This report will
be published in full later. 4
Mrs Osteen then organized the
chapter with DR.. Edmunds as chair
man and Mr.. l.. c. Noise as treas
urer of the School Chapter Fund.
The following teachers were asked to
serve as an executive committee: Miss
Harrington, chairman; Miss Linnie
McLaurin, Miss Eudora Kirk and
Miss Katherine Moses.
Each teacher will act as chairman
or her grade, and secretary and
treasurer will be elected from the pu-
pills. AS soon as a membership fee of
twenty-five cents has been collected
Tor each pupil. the school as q unit
Will become the High School Auxii-
Try of the Sumter Chapter of the Red
cross and will display a special Red
Cross banner bearing the name of the
school. The pupils will then become
Junior members of the Red Cross and
are entitled to wear the Red Cross
membership button.
All funds collected by them will be
used for the purchase of materials to
be made up by them into supplies
for the Red Cross, or the money may
be given for other uses of the Red
Cross by direction of the executive
committee. No part of the fund will
be diverted for chapter use or for gem
eral expenses for the Red Cross.
The work Of boys and girls for the
Red Cross will vary widely. The
training of mind and hand which
must precede effective concerted ac-
tion for community relief and better
ment is the goal of the Red Cross, no

White school Statistics for First
Month.

The superintendent's report for the
first scholastic month shows that
there is an enrolment Of one thou
sand, sixteen children in the white
schools of the city---the largest first
month enrolment in the history of
the schools. This enrolment will
grow, as the year progresses. The
lines of the school district are coinci-
dent with those of the city.
In the elementary schools there are
thirty-one more girls than boys; in
the high school there are three more
boys than girls; in the whole white
school there are twenty-eight more
girls than boys.
The prospects for next years high
school enrolment are very bright, as
in the grade just below the high
school, the grade before which so
many pupils leave school, there are
up to date one hundred fifteen pupils
This means thatt here will be a very
large addition to the high school of
next year.
1t is interesting to note that there
are in the Washington school build
ing, the first three grades, nearly one
hundred more pupils than there were
in the whole white school at the
time of the first monthly report in the
fall of 1895.

they seem to be now. This feature
has been the cause Of general COM

ready for their school work.

In North Carolina.

In a county not q thousand miles
from here there are certain sections
where the Grand Old Party of Lincoln
and Hanna is strong. Efforts to
arouse enthusiasm about the war have
hitherto been attended in those re-
gions with negligible results. Making
the world safe for democracy is the
phrase thar sticks in the way there,
as it has been reported to do in a GER
tain other county. The inhabitants
have never heard anything so outra-i
geous as that a rock-ribbed, dyed-in-
the-wool Republican, Republican
from away back, should be expected
to assist in making anything safe
for the Democratic party. And certain
of the leaders, it is reported by a pat
riot who has been laboring without
results to arouse militancy against
the Hun, are declaring that Roose-
welt, Taft and Hughes have all done

Democratic party.-Greensboro News.

BETTER LIVE STOCK.
South Franklin Farmers Buy
 Two Cars of Fine Cattle

Frank Pendergrass has set the pace in modern livestock farming The shorthorn cattle on his place are fine, fat and charming.
 Tom Watson is the next in line to buy a pure bred herd. His cattle are so smooth and fine they are the latest word.
 Ed Flanagan we're glad to know, one of our new beginners has shorthorn cows which at the show, will certainly be win ners.
 Hudson and son have bunch of pure bred cows and swine. And kindly take from me this bunch wont be left behind.
 Young Morton Hudson, though a boy,is coming to the front. His yearling heifer is a joy and something to adore.
 J. B. McFerran skinned the lot and walked off with the cream: His toppy animal is certainly a dream.
 Jerry Mcdonald got his kale 
 by the hardest kind of knocks, but bought shorthorn at this sale that cost two hundred bucks.
 Jim Ledbetter is another soul who never does things by halves invested quite a roll in a bunch of pure bred calves.
 South Franklin now is in the fight for pure bred short horn cattle. These breeders if we are right will soon have the cash to rattle.
 And while our thoughts are on the wing, we hope you'i! all take heed in fine stock, sin every thing. Grand Prairie takes the lead.
