FOOD CAMPAIGN IN CLARENDON.
Public Meeting Held ut Manning Re-
spOnsive.

Manning, April IA public meet
ing was held in the court house here
today in the interest of general pre-
paredness. A stirring patriotic ad-
dress was delivered by Thomas C.
Mcleod Of Bishopville, very much
on the line of the address to all the
people recently issued by President
Wilson. He urged special productive
effort associated with frugal economy
IN the nse Of all foodstuffs in order
that the country's army and navy
might be supported as well as the
producers of arms and munitions OF
war, and that all the people at home
might have sufficient food and that
this country might have sufficient to
send supplies to the allies fighting in
the fields Of Europe to put down
tyranny and establish freedom and
justice among the people of the
world. He stressed the point that
with cotton selling at 20 cents an
acre will not produce enough to buy
the necessary home supplies that
could be produced on an acre at the
present market prices. The audience
was a representative one, being COM
posed of farmers, professional men,
merchants, bankers, public officials
and a goodly number Of patriotic
housekeepers.
At the conclusion of the address,
which was heartily applauded, a com.
mittee was appointed to traverse the
county and urge the farmers to duly
consider the urgent situation and to
so arrange their affairs as to cer-
tainly raise more food crops and feed
stuff than will be needed on their re-
spective farms and have some to
spare to meet the exigencies of the
country at large. County Farm
Demonstration Sem and the Jealous
club agent, Miss Katherine Richard
son, are taking a deep interest in the
matter and will enthusiastically urge
general patriotic preparedness wher-
ever they may go among the people.

AMERICA MUST SEND MEN.
Gen. Wood Declares Volunteer Ser.
vice Will Never Raise 100000.

Boston, April 17.--Major Gen.
Wood, speaking at a meeting of the
American Cotton Waste Exchange
here today, said that the United States
would not fulfil it's duty in this wa-
until it had sent to the front men.
The meeting was called to raise funds
to equip a complete ambulance unit
for the Red Cross.
''If we are to be a part of the war;"
said Gen. Wood, "our men in our uni
form must be at the front. 1t is no
child's play. We shall send living
men and bring them back dead-but
never until this is done shall we full
fiji our duty.
There is a long period of prepara-
ton ahead Of us, and the first step
is to back up the plan for universal
military service.
"A voluntary service. however de-
lightful in theory, is ridiculous IN
practice. 1t would be a noble thing
IL every man rushed to tho colors. but
every man does not. Only six thou
sand men have been enlisted in two
weeks, and leave it to you to esti-
mate how long it will take to get an
army of a million men,"

The Field Day, although not as
| largely attended as in some years,
was nevertheless. very successful. es-
pecially in that more of the contests
| went begging for contestants and that
so much interest was shown by those
| who stood.
Without the very generous aid Of
the city schools of Sumter, it would
| be impossible to have a Field Day Of
the kind Sumter county has always
| been proud Of. 1 wish therefore, to
thank all connected with the city
schools, who so kindly labored for the
success of this occasion.
/ desire to express my appreciation
of the work done by the various com.
mittees in the matter of judging in
the different contests; also of the
work done by Physical Director Dun
can Of the Y. M. c. A. and his COM
mittee. for the success of the athletic
event. .'..;.. - =, N
The 1917 Field Day has passed. but
1t will be remembered by scores OF
children, and by many grown folks as
being a very pleasant occasion.

| AVIATION FIELD
SCHEME CATCHES
EWATERYILLE FOLK

The story in the Kennebec Journal
of Tuesday morning regarding the
splendid place for an aviation field on
the Benton fiat started things imme-
diately in the city and arrangements
have been made for the holding of a
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
on Friday evening to take action in
the matter. In the meantime, DR.. j.
F. Hill, first vice president of the
chamber and a personal friend of Ad-
miral Peary. has wired him regarding
the situation here and it is hoped that
his reply will be here in time to take
it up at the meeting.
In the opinion of many people in the
city this is a matter that should be
pushed through to the end. Aviation
is to be one Of the big things in life
for the years to come, and the estab-
lishment of a great aviation base near
this city is one of the things that the
Chamber Of Commerce could we'll point
with pride to as an accomplishment.
1t has been suggested that the CO.
operation CT the Fairfield Chamber be
asked for in this matter, as it is as
much concerned in a way in this mat
ter as would be Waterville.

The heavy rain fall Of last Sunday
did a great. deal of damage to growing
crops and other property. Much seed
has been washed from the ground,
many gardens are in full or in part un-
der water, and the land is so thorough
ly saturated that it Is almost impossi-
BILE to do any work upon it. The bridge
at the foot Of Kent's Hill on the stream
from Torsey pond was washed out to-
gether with a large part of the road
way so that road Is now closed to the
public until repairs can be made. The
travel to Kent's Hill now goes over the
iNickerson hill road, which makes quite
a detour over a bad road. At Dead
stream the bridge is apparently all
right but the water is over the road
