Council of Defense
An Important Meeting of Coun.
ty Organization to Be Held
Saturday.

Chairman A. c.. Phelps is confidently
expecting a unanimous attendance at
the meeting of the Sumter County
Council of Defense Saturday, Decenl-
Der 28th. He hopes that every mem
Der will. as far as lies within his pow
er, SO arrange his business and social
engagements so as not to conflict With
the Council of Defense meeting which
will be called to order promptly at
II o'clock.
The question of whether this coun-
Gill will comply with the requests OF
the National Council Of Defense, and
of the war department and remain
in existence until disbanded by the
United States government, after peace
has been declared, will be decided at
Saturdays meeting, and arrangements
for another year of usefulness and pa
triotic endeavor, election Of officers,
and other important matters must be
considered at this meeting.
Organization Of the farmers, bank
ers. city and country merchants large
land owners, and others in adequate
preparation for the early coming Of
the cotton boil weevil, is one Of the
most important functions Of the
Council of Defense. And there are
other equally as important matters

problems are solved correctly Besides
the war is not yet over, the victory
has been won, but the problems, ano

Tax Collections
In Spite of the Abundance of
Money People Are Slow in
Paying Taxes.

In spite of the bad weather OF the
past few days, the collection OF the
State and County taxes for the cur
rent year is proceeding somewhat
more rapidly than was the case sever
al weeks ago. This is accounted for
by the fact that visit to the treas
urer's office is a necessary prelim1n-
ary to obtaining certain permit from
the Judge of Probate and the fact
that the first penalty for the non
payment Of taxes will shortly be add
ed. During the past two days over
s15, 900 have been collected, making
the total paid in up to date s70,S72,-
100. Though this is more than was
collected last year at this time, fewer
people have paid their taxes, the
greater amount being due to the in
creased assessment. This delinquency
of the tax payers seems to be state
wide, as the State treasurer states
that his collections for the year are
quarter of million dollars short OF
what they were last year at the same
