The campaign In Sumter county
this year would be without great in
terest. but for the excitement over
the Congressional. Senatorial and
State contests. for there are few of
the county officials TO be chosen at
this time. The only county officers
tn be elected are. Superintendent OF
Education. Judge of Probate ana
Magistrates. The State senator and
members OF the House Of Represen-
tatives and Solicitor are also TO be
elected. but county offices. over which
there are usually lively contests, are
now four year terms. and were filed
two years ago. As yet there have
been no formal announcements OF
candidates. but 10 IL understo .d that
solicitor Mcleod who was appointed
TO succeed Solicitor StolI, will seek
election and that Court Stenographer
L. f. Wood will oppose him. that
superintendent OF Education Hayns-
worth will seek reelection and that
Judge Of Probate Richardson will
do likewise. as will Senator X. ID.
Epps. Whether any OF these will have
opposition Is not known. but there are
rumors that there are likely to he
candidates for both Judge OF Pro
bate and Senator. As TO the House
OF Representatives there seems to be
great apathy and there are NOT even
rumors of prospective candidates.

HOOVER TELLS PACKERS

Ending July Next.

CHICAGO. October 15.-In a state
ment to the American Meat Packers
Association, now holding it's thir-
teenth annual convention here, Her
bert c. Hoover, federal food admins
traitor, said that during the year end
ing July 1, next, America must ship
100000 tons of meats and fats for
consumption by our soldiers, the allies,
Belgium and neutrals. Other figures
showed that it will be necessary to in
crease breadstuffs shipment $500 900
tons over last year, sugar 100000 tons
and feed grains 100000 tons during
the same period
AT the Presidents direction I as
sured our allies that whatever their
war food program called for from US
we would fulfill" Mr.. Hoover added
we find we can give the increase of
food supplies over last year and still
have a margin over the amount neces-
sary to maintain our own health and
strength"
Boneless beef, it was announced by
the packers, is to be q big item here
after in shipments to Europe. A meth
cd proposed by the governmen for
removing bones from dressed beef has
been adopted by the packers, and it
was added this would bring about n
