The time has come for men to show
their patriotism by their deeds rather
than by their words, says the McAles
ter News.Capital
A state OF war already exists be
tween our country and the greatest
military power on the face Of the
earth. The president OF the nation
has sent out an S. o. S. call. Men are
wanted IN almost every capacity, and
women, too, to aid the country in pre-.
pairing for great struggle The pres
ident and his advisers are determined
to prepare for the worst, for a long
and bloody war, for any eyentuallty.
No man knows what the next twelve
months viii develop. AT the breaking
out OF the great civil war it was pre-
dicted It would not last more than six

Preparedness must be the watch
word from this time forward, not only
in the army and navy but IN the indus

How to Handle and Store.


Farmers should provide themselves
with proper storage facilities. For
specifications for storage-house con-
struction, write for Farmers Bulle-
tin No. 548, Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. C. When the
sweet potatoes are dug they should
be handled with care so as to avoid
bruises in which disease germs often
gain a foothold. A barrel of sweet
potatoes is often worth as much as
barrel of apples, but they are
seldom handled in the same careful
way.
The seed and, in fact, all sweet
potatoes should be held at tempera-
ture of 85 degrees during the sweat
ing period, with free ventilation of
the storage room. The temperature
should then be lowered gradually to
so dgrees or 55 degrees f. and the
sweet potatoes kept at this tcmpera-
ture in well-ventilated room.
For information on diseases of
sweet potatoes read Farmers Bulle-
tin TIA.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-10-24
SWEET-POTATO SEED
Locate Disease Free Hills and Reduce
Loss from Black-Rot, Stem Rot,
Wilt, and Blue-Stem.

Select your seed sweet potatoes in
the fall-whcn you are digging and
can locate diseasc-free hills-is the
advice of the United States Depart
mcnt Of Agriculture. Such seed Sc
lection will help your next crop cs-
cape diseases which each year destroy
from 100000 900 to 100000 bushels
Of sweet potatoes. A little extra care
in handling your market crop and
providing proper storage will avoid
important wastes this year.
When the potatoes are dug, the
seed for next years crop should be
saved. Split the stems down to the
roots and take seed potatoes from
the bcst-yiclding hills where the en-
tire hill is free from black rot, stem
rot, and other diseases. Plants with
stems blackcncd inside have stem-rot,
wilt, or bluc-stcm. Any sweet pota-
toes with nearly round, sunken spots
on the surface should be discarded.
Such potatoes probably have black
rot.
Potatoes with other types of
wounds on the surface and with rot
ted ends should not be taken for
seed Other diseases may be har-
bored in such spots and may trans
NIT the disease to the crop next year.

NAME OF PRESIDENT
WILSON DEFILED

Atlanta, Ga, May 19.-Percy Lynn,
Englishman and musician might have
submitted to being called out of his
name by William Plattke, German and
musician, although it's extremely
doubtful, but when Plattke applied
the same epithet to President Wilson
which he had applied to Lynn, then
the Englishman romped on his ding
dong, as they used to say in the days
OF Roman gladiatorial glory. They
met in the hall of the Musicians I'm

scrap no window glass remained un-

accused Joe NJ. Wustkoff, an official

nanEly asserted to the Judge that he

A GREAT MEETING AT THE
PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH

The meeting at the Primitive Bap-
fist church last week was a great sue
cess. The meeting began Monday
night and continued with two services
each day throughout the week The
attendance was fine Sunday and
Sunday night the house was more
than filled, especially at the night
service. Members had to go away
because they could not get into the
house.
The preaching of Elder Grouse was
plain, but with the power and indeed
it was excellent, He held his con-
gregations with the greatest of inter
est. In fact, the preaching and the
meeting has been the talk of the town
for the past few days.
Eleven members were received into
the church during the week The
church has more than doubled their
membership since the constitution OF
the church.

CONCENTRATION CAMPS
WILL CREATE MARKET
FOR FARM PRODUCTS

Atlanta, Ga, May 19.-Eighty thou
sand recruits to be trained in the con-
centration camp in Atlanta, location
OF which was announced yesterdaysaf-
ternoon from Washington, will fur
nish a market for enormous quaint
ties OF food crops raised BY Georgia
farmers, and this market. will be still
further increased by the location of
another concentration camp for $4,000
recruits in Augusta, Ga, while South
Carolina farmers will find market
for their food crops at the concentra-
ton camp for $4,000 recruits located
in Columbia.
From the standpoint of the farmers
of Georgia and South Carolina, the
war could have brought them no bet
ter fortune because in the three con-
centration camps located in these
three cities will be trained 100000 men
while the number of officers and men
employed in the clerical forces at
tached to the camps will run the NUM-
Der up to 275,000 at least, il not more.
The training of this vast number OF
men in the heart of the South will
create a market for all the food and
forage the farmers can raise, will
stimulate all lines Of business in these
cities. and will be felt throughout the
entire territory adjacent to the camps
