Amsterdam, Nov 24.-"How Will,

by Wilhelm Carl, Socialist, whc
discovered the boards Of provisions
which the former emperor held in his
Berlin palace.
The quantity" the writer says
exceeded all expectations. In large
Wl:ite tiled rooms was everything:
literally everything one can imagine
in foodstuffs It is inconceivable that
af1e! four years of war such huge
quantities could be boarded. There
was meat and game in cold storage

meal in sacks piled to the roof,
thousands Of eggs, gigantic boxes fill
ed with tea, coffee, chocolate, lard.
jelly and jam; hundreds of sugar
leaves and endless stacks of peas.
beans, dried fruits and biscuits. Their
value amounts to several hundred
thousand marks.
These boarded foodstuffs can not
be better used than to be preserved
as a lasting memorial to our poster

GET YOUR TAG EARLY.
Licensing of Automobiles Begins Next
Week.

Columbia, Nov. 25.-One automo-
bile owner at least is assured Of
having his tag ON time He came in
early in October and brought his ap-
plication and fee. He wanted the
first one issued for 1919 and he will
get it. Most owners, however, seem
to want big numbers. About Is per
cent of the applications for 1918 IL
censes came in during the last three
days Of the registration period and
the three weeks following, after the
time for registration had expired. On
account Of failure OF the manufac-
turers to deliver the tags last year
the registration period was extended
to. January 31st.
The tags for 1919 are on hand
ready for distribution. They are
Grated in boxes of fifty each and the
boxes are stacked in storage room
in approximately consecutive order
So if you have a fancy for partlcu-
lar number for your car CONSIDER
how much trouble it would be Tor q
young lady clerk to go into the stor'
age room and sling boxes of tages
around until she found the one con
tanning the number you happened te
want. Or if you leave your money
and application with the request tina
the desired number be laid aside FOL
you when reached think how incon
venient it is to have your money ly
ing around in the way, since th'
money cannot be put in the casl
drawer. nor the entry made in th'
book, nor the application fled unit
your tag is reached. Of course. i
there are not about thousand or 81
applications waiting for tags to b.
mailed out, and if it is possible to fine
the number, the clerks will be glad t
accommodate you.

PUBLIC HEALTH
SERVICE PLANS
Efforts Being Made to Eradicate
Disease in South Carolina.

When in Washington during the
first part of the week, DR.. James A.
Hayne, State health officer, held
conference with DR.. G. G.. Pearce, as
sistant surgeon general of the Unit
ed States public health service. in re-
gard to general disease control in
South Carolina and was Informed that

direction of DR.. c.. v Akin, who will
have charge of all clinics in the State.
The sum Of s16,476.71 is at once
available to meet the expenses Of this
work The clinics will be conducted
at educational centers, and not only
venereal diseases will be considered,
but other health problems affecting
the community will be discussed.
DR.. Hayne also held a conference
with Congressman Lever and Surgeon
geon General Rupert Blue in regard 20
the bill providing funds for rural
sanitation on the plan Of the Smith
Lever agricultural appropriation. DE-
Hayne said yesterday that the confer
ence was satisfacto and is OF the
opinion that funds will be made avail
able by congress. Under this bill, IL
is provided that the county appro-
pirate a dollar, the State appropriate
a dollar and the United States meets
it with a dollar.
After this conference DR.. Hayne
visited Major Hoad of the medical
corps with regard to the sewerage
disposal of Camp Jackson which now
goes through Gill Creek and which,
according to DR.. Haynes is an out
rageous nuisance. Dr. Hayne
was promised by Major Hoad and
Colonel Hartmann of the engineers
corrs that immediate relief would be
afforded. Alva NJ Lumpkin accom-
panied DR.. Hayne in his interview with
| Colonel Hartmann.
While in Washington DR.. Hayne
says that he received the impression
that Camp Jackson would be maze a
permanent institution.

MANY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS YET
TO BE BOUGHT.
This County is Very Far Behind Doing
What 1t Pledged Itself to Do, And
Ranks Low in The State.

Sumter county is very low down in
the ranking of the counties Of this
State in the War Savings stamps pur-
chasing. At the last weekly issue of
the State directors Office bulletin the
county had yet to buy to fill its
pledged amount 100000 worth of
stamps. The year is almost gone and
to do what it promised to do this
county must buy at very swift rate
during the balance of the year.
The situation is difficult to under
stand, says the county chairman, as
the county has done so splendidly on
all the other quotas Of war work Of
various descriptions assigned it. The
only way he can account for It, he
says, is that the people have fatal
habit of putting off what it is not nee
eSsary to do at once. All other sub
scr;ptions, whether of loans or Of
gifts, had a limited time in which
they must be completed, and that
spurred up the people to act at once.
The buying of War Savings stamps,
however, runs through the entire
year, and thousands Of people keep
intending yet to buy, without actually
buying, overlooking the fact that the
year is nearly gone, and that Decem-
Der always calls for extra spending
The redeeming of stamp pledges
should be out Of the way before the
holiday expenses present themselves.
Because the fighting has stopped
does not mean that the need for
great quantities of money by the gov
eminent has ceased. The treasury
still counts its contracted outsoings
by the billions, and it looks for a def
mite part Of its income from War
Savings. It is hardly tfinkabie that
in the end Sumter county is going to
fan down on what it has promise3
to do, but if the people do not act
quickly it is in danger of doing so.

Have You Bought Those Stamps
Yet?

Don't be gutter. You have

stamps. Buy them and a few more
This month the stamps cost s4.22
Next month they will cost you S4.2o
While the boys We're fighting they
had to be fed and clothed and Il
cost money to do so. You Furnished
that money by buying War Savings
stamps. Now that the boys are nol

from War Savings stamps is neeaeo
just as it used to be.
There were near four million men
in the fighting forces of your uncle

has begun turning them loose. but II
cannot all be done at once. JUST
few hundred can so out at tlille

ment even though the armlstlce mas
gone into effect.

buving the amount you pledged 10
buy. Then if you can buy more GO
so The treasury department mas
need for all of it.
Every Sumter county man, woman
and child should remember thls. ms
that Sumter county is nearly sZoV'
600 behind in buying the amount o:
stamps it promised to buy. Unless We

1 will not drink from German cup,
Or eat from German plate.
I will not deal with German man
All foul with German hate.
I'll use no drug with a German name,
That's grown on German land.
I'll eat no food and drink no beer
II made by German hand.
I will not use German tool,
Razor, or knife, or saw.
I will not trade win German shop
That lives by the German law.
I will not sail on German ship,
Where German songs are sung.
I will not breathe where Gods clean
air
Is soiled by a German tongue.
I'll mot forget those awful deeds,
To girls and little boys.
No more I'll hang on Christmas trees
Those blood-Stained German toys.
will not take Germans word,
He'll break it if he can.
There is no love in a German heart,
Or faith in German man.
This is my oath. when war is done,
I'll swear to keep it true.
And since I know you feel the :Same,
I'll pass it on to you.

FOOD ADMINS
TRAITORS MEET.
Sumter County Represented at
Important Conference in Co.
lumbia.

The meeting of the county foot
administrators, and cl1airmen of the
womans county councils Of defense
in Columbia last Tuesday was attend.
ed by Mrs. Nina Solomons, chairman
of the woman's division Of the Sum
ter county council Of defense, and z
I. Reardon, assistant county foot
administrator.
The two Sumter county delegates
returned very much impressed with
the fact, after listening to the splen-
did talk by Mr.. Franklin w. Fort
personal representative of United
States Food Administrator, Herbert
|C. Hoover, that the county food ad-
ministrators and food administration
representatives, and the councils OF
defense all over this country, have a
lot of work to do yet before being de-
mobilized.
Conservation Week of the food ad-
ministration, TO be held the first week
in December, the program. of winch
will be announced in a couple OF
days, shows that as Mr.. Fort said
while the war has been won, the final
victory has yet to be won.'
America now has a bigger task, SO
far as food conservation is concern
ed, than it had during hostilities, If
we are to prove as Premier Clemen-
ceau. of France said recently, that
we fought this war for humanity, not
against humanity" Having freed
millions of enslaved and starving old
men, women, and innocent children,
we can not afford to be inhuman and
permit them now to starve to death.
Hunger is the mother of anarchy
class hatred, and revolution, and ii
America permits hunger to continue
to stalk through the delivered coun-
tries, chaos will continue and red rev.
olution, murder, and other horrible
results Of disorganization and starva-
tion will place the civilization of the
world in greater danger than it has
ever been.
Mrs Solomons and Mr.. Reardon
pledged Sumter county to do its full
share in the peace aftermath as it
did during hostilities.
Mr.. G. A. Lennon, the chief coun-
ty food administrator for this coun-
ty has lined himself up for the con-
tinuation of the Sumter county food
administration organization, and there
is q great deal Of work to be done.
These three representatives Of the
state and national government hope
for and will beyond doubt receive the
same cordial and patriotic support
from. the people of Sumter County in
the future that they received in the
past. Chairman A. c. Phelps, Of the
county council of defense and cham
Der Of commerce has promised that
those two organizations will continue
as enlisted soldiers of the old
guard to back UP the food admin
istcation to ''the last ditch
The county food administrators
were instructed to get their office
forces we'll organized, and to spend
whatever money may be necessary for
the Dig Conservation Week program,
particulars of which are being sent
out from Columbia and Washington
in the shape of millions Of letters,
pamphlets, and other literature.
