TOWNLEY MEETING
Is Big GATHERING
TURNER HALL IS FILLED TO
CAPACITY ENFARMER
LEADER TALKS
NO FAINTEST SUGGESTION OF
DIsLoYALTY IS HEARD.
ALL-PATRIoTs


ToWnley, president Of the Non-P Partisan
League kept the attention of nearly
800 people at meeting of the Nom
partisan League held at Turner Hall
last Wednesday afternoon The hall
was literally packed and when it is
remembered that the thermometer reg
istered IL degrees below that morning,
it must be considered a remarkable
gathering. A few women were present
and also few business men but the large
and overwhelming majority of the
audience was made up Of farmers who
live in the immediate vicinity of New
lJlm and surrounding towns.
Guards Against Frame-Up
The speaker was introduced by Levi
r. Samuelson of Lafayette. There were
also on the stage Joseph j. Sperl of
Cottonwood, Mic Reinhart of Court
5land, Louis Spelbrink Of Milford and
p p. Manderfeld, also of Cottonwood.
Mr.. ToWnley has his own reporter to
report his meetings so that he can at
all times prove just exactly what he said
at meeting, thus preventing the pos
slbility Of frame-up. Albert George
LOOMS of Springfield was also present
for the purpose Of taking down notes
for the Springfield Free Press. To
the huge delight of the audience the
speaker at different times took fall out
OF the Free Press and its editor, August
q. Erickson.
In his remarks the speaker dealt
largely on the necessity of organization
because, in his opinion, nothing can be
accomplished in any line Of endeavor
sussfess there is the best. Of organization
back of it. Not only is this true of a
business, or an industry but also in tie
carrying thru OF a political program.
Compare Business Methods
Mr.. Townley stated that every bust
ness that is we'll organized knows just
exactly what the goods cost and what
the expenses are to run the business.
That these items are figured out to a
mathematical certainty, to which is
added a certain percent for profit, so
that at the end Of the year the owner Of
the business can tell with certainty that
he will close the year with profit. He
then asked the farmers if they were
running that kind of system, if they
knew what their farm investments were
worth, what the interest on them would
amount to and whether they would
know how much to ask for their products
in order to do little better than break
even on their expenses. There was no
response. Continuing his remarks, he
showed that to a greater or lesser ex-
tent existing laws are to blame for
existing conditions and in view Of the
fact that ours is political democracy
where people themselves have the right
to determine what laws should be
enacted, that they must in the final
analysis take the responsibility of all
existing laws: that if they are not satisfied
with them and tie manner Of their
enforcement and application it is up
to them to see to it that all OF them not
'conducivet to the appiness of the majority
{ of the common people should be repealed

CAREFUL SHIPPING WILL
SAVE LIVE STOCK LOSSES

tJolumbia.-The attention of live
stock shippers is called by the Food
Administration to the necessity OF
careful loading Of live stock, particu-
IarIy hog shipments. While there is
no available data at hand giving e1-
act figures, the number OF dead or
criopIel animals arriving at market
is large, and, therefore, serious. It
is not only waste Of money but q
terrific waste of foodstuffs, and dur
ing the present crucial period when it
is so vital to eliminate waste, it does
not reflect favorably on those engaged
in the live stock industry to permit
such waste. While it has always been
customary to lay the blame on the
railroads, the Food Administration
feels that, although the railroads may
have BEEN responsible for great deal
of loss in the past, it has not been q
one-sided affair by any manner OF
means. The utmost care in loading
live stock will result in cutting down
the losses, and the cooperation OF all
those engaged in the live stocA indus
try Is asked by the Food Admnistra'
tion.

byterian.
DR.. Marcellus A. Renwick was born
in Newberry county, S. c., April 80,
1916, and died July 6, 1918. He was
reared under most favoring circum-
stances, in home of wealth and re-
finement, and best of all, of deep piety.
Choosing medicine as a profession he
was given the best of preparation,
spending two years in Paris for
special study. After practicing his
profession successfully for a few
years he retired to the farm where he
spent the closing years of his life.
DIR. Renwick was a man of faith
in God, exhimiting in all the ex-
periences of life the spirit of Christ
He made his profession of faith in the
old Kings Creek church, in which he
served for many years as a ruling
elder.
DR.. Renwick was twice married;
first, to Miss Mary Erwin who died
leaving three sons and one daughter.
On April 25, 1894, he was married 10
Miss Kittie Jones, of Newberry, who,
with two sons and three daughters,
survives him.
Though a great sufferer for many
weeks from malignant disease Dr.
Renwick was ever hopeful and uR-
complaining. He wished to live, but
put himself in the hands of God, ia
loving submission. He died in the
faith. and has been crowned among
the faithful, for we are assured that
his name was written in the Lambs
book of life.
