=. Samuel Does His Bit.
NIB

Sam Tilley, colored, is a citizen of
Sumter and a citizen of the United
States of America, and being a citiz-
en- he feels that his citizen
ship carries with it responsibilities as
well as privileges. Sam was a young
fellow when the Spanish-American
war broke out, and although it was a
little war, as war goes in the twentieth
century, he felt that he had duty to
perform so he enlisted and saw SER
vice in Cuba. He is older now and
past the age of selective conscription,
besides having q wife and children
dependent upon him, his small earn
ings scarcely suffice to provide food,
clothing and shelter. Nevertheless, he
feels that he still owes a duty to his
county and the government, and as he
cannot join the army again and go to
the front, he has decided to contribute
his labor and service in the only 9TH
er manner possible. He feels that he
must respond to the call for money
and that he must be by some manner
or means be one Of the army of Lib
erty Bond buyers. He therefore has
arranged with his employed to buy q
$50 bond for him and to allow him to
pay for it in weekly installments
Samuel Tilley saw his duty and is
doing it, He is doing his bit, as the
English say. Are you doing yours
equally as we'll?

Government officials have declared
hat the production of print paper is
non essential to the successful prose-
cution of the war. That means that
those who are engaged in the manu-
facture of print paper are not to be
considered in connection with the eX-
cmption from tie draft; that coal
IAN be hauled to print paper manu-
tacturers only provided there is no
pressing demand for the transporta-
ton of war essentials, and that print
paper can be moved only under SINH
iar conditions. The narrow Ignorance
of officials along this line is more
than passing strange. The first alb
solute essential in the prosecution or

money. Congress passed the enroll
ment draft law; but just how 1t would
ever have gotten the people register
cd without the use of print paper in
tremendous quantities, is difficult to
see. And this two billion loan that is
now being foated, ercept for the
newspapers. how would the interest
of the public have ever been engag-
cd? So also as to the necessity for in
creased food production The people
had to be informed on the subject be-
fore they could be impressed with the
necessity. and without the use OF print
paper such n thing would have been
impossible. To our mind, ruling OF
this kind does not do credit to any
Government or other official. 1t is not
Intelligent and we are doubtful as to
whether it is even honest. The man
who does not recognize the import

print paper in the prosecution OF the
war. and in the conduct of affairs
generally. is simply a fool. He does
not know enough to call doodles

TWO WORKMEN INJURED.
ScaffOlding Fell at Pcnn-Sumter Lum-
ber Company.

Yesterday afternoon several negro
men working on the yards Of the
Penn-Sumter Lumber Company, were
painfully hurt when the scaffolding, on
which they were working, gave way.
Only two of the workmen, however,
we're seriously injured, one having had
his wrist broken and the other his
thigh broken in two places. From
Ill accounts it seems to have been
he fault Of the workmen that the
accident occurred.
The negroes were engaged in erect
ing a truss roof over the new planning
shed. The whistle had just blown
cor them to quit work but, before
stopping, they were ordered to put in
place the top truss cord, which oper-
alton would have completed the job
they were working on. The truss cord,
which was SxS and II feet long, was
raised to be put in place but was ac-
cidentally dropped before it could be
lowered into position. 1t fell. break
ing the timbers which were holding
it up and carrying with it the nine ne
groes who were working on the job.
Seven of the workmen were carried to
the hospital, but 1t is reported, as
stated above. that only two were Sc
riously injured.
This is the account as given by Mr.
Harris, the contractor who Is in
charge Of the work, when he was in
torviewed this morning.

Wreck at Lone Star.

Wednesday about SIS a. m. small
smasbup occurred on the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad near Lone Star, q
little station between here and Or
angeburg. The extra north bound
freight, No. 1917, was drawing into
the siding at Lone Star in order to LEI
the early passenger train, which pass
ed through Sumter at 4.3O this morn
ing, get through to Augusta. AS the
passenger train came up opposite the
freight it seems that one of the rails
under the freight broke, derailing
about four cars. These cars fell over
on the Augusta train, scratching 1t
badly and doing considerable damage.
When the fireman saw what had hap
pened, he jumped and seems to have
injured himself considerably. When
the train passed through here about
on it's way back to Florence,
the fireman was still unconscious. The
only other person reported injured is
Mr.. Meadows, the engineer on the
passenger train. He was only slightly
injured, however having burnt his leg
and bruised his shoulder somewhat.
No. 3S was unable to get by the
wreck on its way to Florence, but re-
turned to Augusta, taking the place Of
No. 35 which passed back through
here about noon on it's way to the
repair shops at Florence.
