Captain Erickson of the steamer Flyer was able to do Captain Anson of the Althea a good turn on his trip from St. Michaels. When about ten miles off Rocky Point the Althea was noted practically helpless, owing to the batteries hay ing for some reason given out on the gas engine. They had sent q boat from the stern wheeler to Golowin in order to secure help for the Althea. Captain Erickson with the Flyer drew aIonside Cap An sons boat and was able to supply him with sound batteries. thus end abling the Althea to resume it's journey which is to St. Michaels and then up the river to Marshal in which business if sufficient orders come along, the Althea will be kept permanently.

The Jewel Guard returned from very interesting trip to Nunivak where the Methodist Mission under the direction of the Reverend Dr. Baldwin established another mission station for the natives. The itinerary was without any circum- stances of sensation. The crew was landed for the Arctic but that boat so far is unable to get out owing to low water. The Jewel Guard draws three feet and yet it stuck on the bar and at low water was high and dry. At high water it got off the bar and drew inside abreast of the Arctic. As the Arctic draws six feet of water, the time this boat will have wriggling across the tide flats may well be imagined. The Jewel Guard will probably now go on a trading trip.
 
 For the information of the pub lie, it is stated that any person can now trade in Siberia providing that they can get the license from the Russian revenue cutter and as this is only a matter of form and the payment of a small fee, it can be seen that there are no difficulties attendant upon it. The schooner Ram which has been on a trading trip was refused permission to trade, or more correctly the na- tives refused to trade with the people on the schooner, until they had secured the required license. This will therefore eliminate the long trip to Petropavlosk where to all boats under the former regime had to go to. clear from before be- ing allowed to trade along the coast.

LUMBER MILLS QUIT.
Shut Down Due to Slump in Market
and Not Strike, Say Operators.

Seattle, Aug. 23.-Announcement
was made today by the organized
lumber manufacturers of a contin-
ued and practically unanimous shut
down of all the Pacific Northwest
lumber mills and logging camps for
1T least four months or until after
the beginning Of 1918.
The lumber operators declared that
The shut down was not due to the
strike which has seriously affected
the lumber output for several months.
but rather was the result of "a slump
n the market" The statement points
out that it is not the intention to
close down the shingle mills. The
statement. issued by the West Coast
Lumbermen's Association. added that
he lumbermen would be glad to
meet and aid in any way possible j.

Government Calls for Knitted Gar

Supply the Need.

Supply the Need.
From The Daily Item, Aug. 25.
AS stated in a telegram from the
Red Cross War Council, printed a few
days ago, an urgent call has come
from the American troops in France
for large supply Of knitted gar
ments for the winter The Sumter
Red Cross has been asked to supply
900 sweaters and an equal number OF
SOCKS, mufiiers, wristlets, etc., totaling
about $500 garments. The purchas-
ing committee has ordered large
supply of yarn, which is expected tc
arrive early next week. This yarn will
be supplied free to those who will
pledge themselves to knit for ouI
soldiers in France, and as the time is
short and the need urgent all men,
bers of the Sumter Chapter and all
other women who can knit or will!
learp to knit are requested to call a,
the Red Cross Headquarters or phone
the headquarters and register for this
work. AS soon as the yarn arrives
those who have agreed to knit will
be notified and the yarn will be fur
nished them. The call is to the wo-
men who really want to do something
to help win the war and are not just
'ndulging in sentimental talk. There
is work to be done and it must be
done now. If they want to contribute
to the comfort of the soldiers in the
trenches they can do so by knitting.
Every garment that is knitted by a
woman in her spare time is just that
much contributed to the cause. Ev-
cry garment knitted by home WORK
ers relieves to that extent the strain
that is being put upon the manufac-
turing plants of the country, which
are already overtaXed by the work
that they have undertaken for the
government to furnish equipment fol-
the army. All the factories in the
country working twenty-four hours 9
day seven days in the week canno,
supply all the needs of the army
and for that reason the home work
ers are called upon to assist by max
ing those things that they can max,
In spare time. If every one will dc
the things that they are fitted to d,
the winning of the war will be made
easier. If you can knit it is youl
duty to knit for the army. Call OF
phone the Red Cross Headquarter,
and pledge yourself to do your dut!
now.

FEgf0 PREACHER KILLED.
PUT TO DEATH By WHITES AND
BLACKS.
Had Talked RecklessIy About the
War and Against White People
Two Arrests.

York, Aug. 23.-W. T. Sims, a ne
gro preacher about SO years of age.
met death this morning at the hands
of number Of unknown whites and
negroes, five miles west of York. He
was taken from the home of Bob
Burris, where he was spending the
night, at 2 o'clock, shot several times
in the legs and once in the head with
a pistol and brutally beaten, from
which he died five hours later. Fred
Penninger, white, and Frank Twitty,
negro, have been lodged in Jail on
the charge of completely in the af-
fair and Dick Norman, white, has
ben searched for all the afternoon,
but has thus far evaded arrest.
An inquest held this afternoon by
Magistrate j. E. Conner was adjourn
ed until Monday in order that addi-
tional evidence might be obtained.
Mystery surrounds the affair which
is heightened by the fact that the
band that beat the negro was COM
posed of both whites and negroes.
Burris. at whose home the tragedy
occurred. states that his house and
yard were filled with men.
Sims was found about 500 yards
from Burris' house shortly after day
light. He was conscious but was un-
able to give any very coherent ac-
count OF the previous nights happen
ings. He professed ignorance, how
ever, of the cause for which he had
been mistreated. His home was at
Chester. but he was pastor of a
church near Sharon. OF late he had
incurred the enmity of many mem
bers of his congregation on account
OF his keen criticism, according tc
people of the Sharon section and also
on account of alleged misappropria-
tion of church funds. Negroes told
the whites that he was indulging in
reckless utterances about the war and
was endeavoring to poison the minds
of members of his race against white
people. Reckless members of both
races evidently combined to put him
out of the way.

Good Roads Cannot be Bailt by Poll
sacians-Trained Engineer Requir-
ed.
Editor The Daily Item.

! Editor The Daily Item.
The adage that prosperity can't
travel to country over bad roads,"
Is we'll exemplified in this section. In
lower Privateer township there is a
region Of country comprising rs or 80
square miles untraversed by a public
road, a condition without a parallel in
the county, even including the sand
barrens Of Manchester. This is nat
uraily fertile region and it's develop
ment would add much to the taxable
resources of Sumter county. Two
petitions for roads through this Sec
tion were presented and acted upon
favorably during the incumbency of
the late supervisor, but the roads
were never built. During last spring
l wrote to the supervisor stating the
facts of the case and enclosing O map
or the section drawn to a scale. He
replied that he was not building
roads, but repairing those already
built
But is this being done? The road
on the north of this section, by Beth
el church and Privateer station, is a
succession of mud holes and sand
beds. The Cane Savannah road on
the west and the Georgetown road on
the east were clayed half heartedly in
spots four or five years ago and than
'et severely alone. To the South
there Is no road this side of the
Clarendon line.
Probably the supervisor is doing
the best that he can. But that is
not enough in this day and time. He
is the relic Of an outgrown and obso-
lete system. The day is past when
any citizen, by virtue of his friends
and political hackers. can fill this Of
flee. The supervisor should be a civil
engineer. specially trained for
this purpose. His pay should be ade-
quate and he should be promptly
displaced II found inefficient. Until
this Is done our highway system will
be miserable botch, the modification
and handicap of ourselves and the
contempt Of outsiders
