PROGRAM WINS MUCH PRAISE

TAUQUA HAS EVER PUT
OUT.
Has More Varied and Stronger Attrac.
tiOns Than Chautauquas of Past
Years-Representati I'm City to
Start Program-Tickets May BE
Secured Now.

VIM. S. Wright, Redpath repre-
who will be in charge Of
the advertising for Sumter's Redpath
Chautauqua, which opens here,
Thursday, arrived in our city Satur-
day night, and will remain until after
the opening day. Mr.. Wright has
just visited thirty of the Southern
cities on this circuit, in Georgia, North
and South Carolina, Virginia, meeting
with the committees, who pronounce
this seasons program the best ever
offered their cities. Mr.. Wright is
personally acquainted with most OF
the talent on this seasons program,
having booked them for the past five
years in Michigan, and says that the
big program which opens in our city
Thursday is more varied. stronger and
better balanced than last years. every
day a red letter day. moving up a
notch from the high mark set the
past two years by the Redpath. Sell
dom has any community been given
the opportunity to hear such famous
musical artists and celebrated iectur-
ers as will appear on this big de LUXE
program in 100 Of the best and largest
cities from Jacksonville, Fla, to Chi
cago.
Anticipating that the Chautauqua
patrons Of this great circuit would ex-
pect attractions Of more than ordi-
nary excellence this season, after the
past two years progress, which proved
such big success, the Redpath built
up a program, new in it's making and
the best that ever appeared on q
Chautauqua platform. Mr.. y Wright
states that the talent this season is
costing three hundred dollars. ($300)
more per town than last year. The
extra cost represents an additional ex-
penditure, not an advance in salary.
In spite Of this the season tickets re-
main the same as last season.
Think Of it, this wonderful program
coming to our city and by purchasing
a season ticket you not only get to
hear this great array OF talent, for
twelve cents a number, but you help
your Y. M. C. A, which is making
the Chtauutaqua possible.
Tickets are selling fast. II you
have not secured yours do so at once.

oUART-A.MoNTH OPINION.
Relates to Duties Of Judges OF Pro.
bate.

Columbia, April 13.-Claud N.
sapp. assistant attorney general, has
rendered an opinion to c. r. Bell.
Judge of probate for Aiken county, In
which certain duties Of judges Of pro-
bate under the quart-a-month act are
outlined. The opinion follows.
Your letter OF the 10th instant to
the Attorney General relative to
your duties in connection with the
enforcement of the quart-a- month act
has been handed me for attention.
You ask to be advised as to wheth-
er or not under the terms Of the act
you are required. when requested to
do 80. to take the oath in connection
with the affidavit required to be filed
by persons making application to you
for permits to order liquor. You ask
further to be advised whether or not
the affidavit required to be filed in
person by the applicant.
"In reply thereto 1 beg to advise
that the affidavit required to be filed
may be made before any officer Of the
State qualified to administer an oath,
but in the event the party desiring
the permit should request that you
take his affidavit. 1t 10 your duty to
do so. You may. however, charge
and collect a fee Of rs cents for ad-
ministering the oath.
AS to tho question whether the af-
fidavit should be fled In person by the
party desiring the permit. am of the
opinion that It was the intention and
purpose of the legislature to require
parties making application for tho
permit to apear in person before the
judges Of probate and file their af-
fidavits, and that you should so rule.
The act In this regard is not specific.
This point. however. could be deter
mined by the court on the relation
OF the parties aggrieved by this con.
struction."

Suggestion Made as to Planting Crops.

Suggestion Made as to Planting Crops.
have noticed the many urgent ap-
peals that are. being made for the
farmers to plant food crops. The
difficulty is that these appeals have
come too late. Crops have already
been pitched and the farmers can't
do the work over to plant different
crops from those already planned.
However, 1 have suggestion to
make which will partially eliminate
some of the difficulties and give us
large crop of corn without materi-
ally reducing the cotton crop. 1t in
this. adopt the Aldrich plan worked
out by A. P. Aldrich OF Barnwell.
His plan In brief is this: Lay off the
land in four foot rows (the usual
width Of cotton beds), plant two
rows in corn and two rows in cotton
alternately across the field. This
gives IL feet on each side of
the two rows Of corn to the next two
rows of corn. Now that cotton has
been planted already in most places,
1t is possible to split each alternate
two rows open with a middle burster
and plant corn in them. The fertil-
izer already put in for cotton will
give the corn a splendid start. If
the corn be dropped one and a half
feet apart it will give $3.50 stalks
to the acre, or about SO bushels of
corn to the acre if properly fertilized.
The rows that remain in cotton
will make more than a half crop,
probably about two-thirds.
I suggest one innovation on the
Aldrich system-plant a 80 day
velvet bean to each hill Of corn. Tho
beans will give hugh crop of most
nutritious grain and improve the land
better than any other legume.
Mr.. Aldrich says that he makes
1000 pounds of seed cotton besides
a good crop Of corn by this plan
fully as much cotton as his neighbors
make who plant all cotton.
l hope NJ. Aldrich will follow this
suggestion with an article fully ex-
painng his plan and his success
with it.
If this plan were put in operation
on every acre of cotton planted in
the South it ought to add nearly or
quite billion bushels Of corn to
our production.

BRITISH CAPTURE LENS.
IMPORTANT RAILROAD CENTER

London. April 16.--Although Brit
ish patrols have been In the streets
Of Lens and the British are in the
outskits of st. Quentine the fall of nei-
ther Of these towns has been officially
announced. It Is apparent that the
Germans are desperately resisting the
E'ritish advance to give the engineers
time in which to destroy the mines
around Lens.
The British announce the capture
Of villeret, which straightens their
line northwest of st. Quentin. They
also announce additional progress
northwest Of Lens.
The French announce that they
have penetrated the German second
lines In Alsace and \found many Ger
man dead. They have also made ad-
ditional gains south Of the Disc river.
Artillery fire was heavy last night In
Alsace. Lorraine, Champagne and sois-
sons. at Rheims and south Of the
Disc. Nv
The fighting on the western front
has assumed almost the proportions
OF general engagement. from the
North Sea to Switzerland. Artillery
fire and raiding are becoming signifi-
cant. even along the line the Belgians
hold. Germany announces a British
and French loss of eleven airplanes
yesterday between Scissors and ver-
dun.
The Germans also announce that
the German fire prevented British at
tacks on the northern bank of the
river Scarpe also northeast OF Croi-
selles. The report says the Germans
repulsed the British north Of Arras
on the Combat road. taking four hun
dred and seventy-nve prisoners and

disintersted. The country expects
YOU as it expects all others, to fore
go unusual profits, to organize and
expedite shipments of supplies of ev-
cry kind, but especially Of food, with
an eye to the service you are rem
dering and in the spirit of those who
enlist in the ranks, for their people.
not for themselves. I shall conf
IDENTIFY expect you to deserve and win
the confidence of people of every sort
and station.
ITO the men who run the railways
of the country, whether they be
managers or operative employees, let
me say that the railways are the
articles of the nations life and tha.
upon them rests the immense re-
sponsibility of seeing to it that those
arteries suffer no obstruction of any
kind, no inefficiency or slackened
power. To the merchant let me sug-
gest the motto small profits and
quick service adm to the ship build
er the thought that the life of the
war depends upon him. The food
and the war supplies must be car
ried across the seas, no matter hov
many ships are sent to the bottom.
The places of those that go down
must be supplied and supplied at
once. To the miner let me say that
he stands where the farmer does
the work of the world waits on him.
If he slackens or fails, armies and
statesmen are helpless. He also is
enlisted in the great service army.
The manufacturer does not need to
be told, I hope, that the nation looks
to him to speed and perfect every
process; and I want only to remind
his employees that their service is
absolutely indispensable and is count
ed on by every man who loves the
country and it's liberties.
Let me suggest also, that every one
who creates or cultivates a garden
helps, and helps greatly, to solve the
problem of the feeding Of the nations:
and that every housewife who prac.
tices strict economy puts herself !n
the ranks Of those who serve the ma
ton. This is the time for America To
correct her objectionable fault of
wastefulness and extravaganza. Let
every man and every woman assume
the duty of careful. provident use and
expenditure as public duty, as a die
tate of patriotism which no one now
can expect ever to be excused or for
given for ignoring.
I'm the hope that this statement of
the needs Of the nation and of the
world in this hour Of supreme crisis
may stimulate those to whom it comes
ar. remind all who need reminders
or the solemn duties of time such as
the world has never seen before. I !
beg that all editors and publishers
everywhere will give as prominent
and as wide circulation as
possible to this appeal. I venture to
suggest also to all advertising agencies
that they would perhaps render a very
and timely service to the
country If they would give it wide
spread repetition. And hope that
will not think the theme
Of it an unworthy or inappropriate
subject of comment and homily from
their pulpits.
The supreme test Of the nation has
come. We must all speak, act and
serve together. /,
