600 German propagandists in this
State have been hanged to telegraph

This statement was made today by
Howard Heinz, federal food admins
traitor for Pennsylvania, at a lunch
con of food officials.
Mr.. Heinz has just returned from a
Statewide speaking tour. He reports
that the activities of the German
agents have been making serious in
roads on food conservation.
These German agents have been
spreading stories that the allies are
eating white bread and that there is
surplus of wheat in Argentine.
With our present tonnage we can
not conveniently get the wheat from
Argentine to our allies because of the
long haul. 1t will be next year be-
fore we can even catch up with the
present sinkings of the u-boats."
Mr.. Heinz said we were sending
large quantities of corn abroad, de-
spite stories to the contrary.

The Board of County Commission
ers met Tuesday, March 5th, with all
members present.
The minutes of February 5th were
read and confirmed.
Reports for the month of February
were received from rural policemen
and home demonstration agents, and
also certificate from public cotton
weighers that the scales had been
tested and found accurate.
An invitation was received from
Supervisor Kelly Of Clarendon county
asking the Sumter county board to

Santee river bridge. On account OF
other arrangements no member Of the
board will be able to attend.
Commissioner McLaurin reported
for the committee on the tuberculosis
camp that they had received gener-
Gus donations of lumber from the sew
eral lumber dealers of the city. They
would continue the canvass in ex-
pectation of receiving donations of
hardware and other material. Con-
tractor J! M. Hardy is ready to begin

ment
A letter was read from Mr.. w. II
Tiller of Lugoff calling attention to
Ancrum's ferry as suitable site
for the proposed crossing of the Wa
teree on the highway to Columbia. He
referred to the fact that the bluff
extends to the river on the Sumter
side and that the swamp is narrow at
that point; also that the crossing
would cost less and be easier to MAIN
tain at that point than lower down
the river.
The board granted the sum of 5000
per annum. payable monthly, on their
expense accounts, for gasoline and oil,
to the rural policemen.
Mr.. Dozier Lee asked that the
county join the city in cleaning out
Turkey creek canal, the estimated
cost being $1,000, the city having
agreed to pay one-half of the cost.
The board believing that the estimate
was less than the actual necessary
cost of the work to be done, agreed
that the county together with the city
should bear one-half of the cost, pro-
vided. that the land owners would pay
the other half, and providing further
that the total does not exceed $4,000.
Charles Williams, colored, of
Mayesville was granted a monthly al
lowance of SO. Williams served
throughout the War between the
States and being now aged, infirm and
needy he was recommended to the
board as worthy of relief.

Garden Hints.

L. Soak any garden seed, especial
ly those slow to germinate, such as
pepper or okra, in sweet milk for "a
hours previous to planting Drain off
the milk and stir dry sand with small
seed (tomato or pepper) until each is
thoroughly coated with sand. This
makes ii possible to drop seed, one at
time. thereby saving seed and in
suring healthy plants. When plants
are crowded. the STEMS are blanched d
and tender and the whole planting is
injured.
2. Avoid overproduction Of vege-
tables that must be consumed dur
ing the growing season, such as let
tuce, radishes. etc.
3. Plant literally of vegetables
that can be kept for winter use by
canning, drying Or storing.
4. Best early varites of bush snap
beans for canning are Refugee and
stringless Greenpod. For late plant
ing. the Kentucky Wonder, a very
prolific running bean is the best va
riety. If the eye of the bean is turn
ed down when planted. the seed will
germinate more quickly.
4. The best early varieties of to-
matoes are Earliana and June Pink.
stones Improved and Acme are the
best varieties for canning.
8. Prepare early in the season for
the destruction of insects The sup
ply of spraying materials will be linn
tied and the demand large. Bor-
deaux mixture is good spray for
plant diseases. Formula:
pound bluestone,
1-2 pounds lime,
IL 1-2 gallons water.
Crush bluestone. dissolve and pour
over lime. Mix, add water and strain.
Arsenate Of lead solution which
may be made by mixing / ounce ar
senate of lead powder with 6 quarts
of water will kill the chewing in
sects which eat the fruit of foliage of
plants.
Kerosene Emulsion is good remedy
Tor the sucking insects such as plant
lice. 1t is made as follows:
Dissolve I pound hard soap in /
gallon Of boiling water. Stir i'm J

NEXT DRAFT SOON.
Men May Begin to Move in April

Washington, March 5.-Announce-
rnent of the date of the next draft is
imminent. The provost marshal gen
erals office has prepared IAN impor-
ant announcement" which is believed
to deal with the time and method of
5ummoning the second levy. The best
opinion is that the first of the men
will move to camp in April.
Publication of the announcement is
held up pending action by congress on
pending amendments to the selective
service act. The most important of
he proposed changes in the opinion
Of Provost Marshal General CrOwder,
s that which will give him authority
o base State quotas on the total
number of men in Glass Al instead
Of the total registered.
Preparations have been made for
summOning the remaining negroes
certified under the first draft. Be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 Of these were
called but only half of them have
been sent to the training camps. The
indavisability of centralizing these
troops in Southern camps and the
fact that the army medical authori-
ties do not believe it safe to transfer
them to colder northern camps dur
ing the winter given as principal rea-
sons for the delay.
The joint resolution, already pass
ed by the senate, providing for a
change in the selective draft law so
as to base the quota of each State
on the number of men in Class One
instead of on the population. was fa
vorably reported to the house today
" the military committee and will

Do You Love Orphan Children?

The Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton.

phan children, where the effort is
made to make the best men and wo-
men out Of them and where they are
cared fOr by officers, matrons and
teachers just as if they were their
own children. The institution depends
upon the public for support by con-
tributiOns. For forty-two years it
been an inspiration for the develop
ment of many other orphan institu-
tions. This year the Thornwell Or
phanage will cost $4,000 more than
in a normal year because of the high
war prices. Thus far God in His
mercy has put it into the hearts OF
His people to supply the needs of the
institution, but those needs being
greater than usual necessitate this
statement God leaves it to you, dea,

ASK FOR REFERENDUM.

ed Upon by People i'm New York.


Albany N. Y, March A referen-
dunn on the question of State wide
prohibition in preference to ratifica-
ton of the federal prohbitory amend
ment was recommended to the SEN
ate tonight in the report of the com
mittee on taxation and retrenchment.
The committee also reported favor
ably on the bill designed to bring
about Statewide prohibition during
the war.
After considerable pickering the
senate voted to recommit the referen-
dunn resolution and the emergency
prohibition bill to the taxation and re-
trenchment committee for hearing
next Monday.
In it's report to the senate the
committee said: "In the absence OF
satisfactory evidence as to Whether
prohibition for the State is favored b,

mittee favors the submission of the
