w. j. Andrews yead.

William j. Andrews, one of the old
est and best known colored citizens Of
sumter, died Saturday af ernoon after
several weeks illness. The funeral SER
vices were held at Mt -Pisgah A. M.
E. church Monday with a large at
endance. He had been a member of
his church since its organization and
for more than thirty years served as
the superintendent of the Sunday
school He was also several times the
representative of his church in the
General Conference. During recon-
itruction he represented Sumter coun-
y in the House of Representatives for
several years. AT time when cor
upton, bribery and brib taking were
he rule and not the exception among
members of, the legislature, w. J.
Andrews maintained his reputation for
honesty and integrity and when the
,erpet-bag government was over
brown in 1876 and the Democrats re-
gained control Of the State govern
nent Andrews declared that he had
1othing to fear from Investigation.
And when the investigation was made
and the Book of Frauds published, in
which was listed the name Of every
man who had accepted or given
orioes or otherwise defrauded the
State, the name of w. j. Andrews was
lot found in it. 1t was an honorable
record of which he was justifiably
proud, in the circumstances. For
many years Andrews conducted the
only restaurant for white people in
Sumter and from this and the fish
business of which he also had a mo-
nopoly, he accumulated a modest COM
oetence. In industry, in honesty and
in his general conduct as a citizen and
as man W. J. Andrews was an exam
pie to his race. He had the respect
and confidence of the business men of
the community and was generally re-
garded as a type of the best among
Sumter's colored citizenship.

informal discussion of the relative
merits Of the proposed Pickney's
Landing bridge over Santee river and
the Garner's Ferry crossing toll fiat
boat ferry, as to their value to Sum-
ter county and city was had.
Mr.. E. E. Rembert thought the
Pinckneys Landing free bridge of
more value as that would onen up a
new trade territory of several counties
to this city and county, whereas, in
his opinion the Gamers Ferry cross
| ing will cause the cream Of Sumter
county trade from the western section
| of this county to be lost TO Sumter
because hundreds of people prefer to
go to the larger towns like Columhi..
to do their trading, whereas Richland
county on the other side of the Wa
teree river offered very little trade to
this city.
Mr.. J. T. Williams and Mr.. A. c.
Phelps thought Sumter could com
pete with Columbia in prices and
quality Of goods, and hold it's owr
against Columbia. Mr.. Williams
thought that owing to rush of bust.
ness in Columbia during the life OF
the cantonment many Richland peo
pie would come to Sumter to trade
during the war. Mr.. Phelps though
Sumter sold goods for less money
than Columbia anyhow. Mr.. Rembert
thought that we must look forward tc
the time when there will be no wa,
and must compete with Columbia dur
ing normal times under normal con.
ditions with Columbia's advantages as
larger city with greater amusements
and other attractions than Sumter
will have. He thinks it would pa,
Columbia to spend one hundred
thousand dollars to get the Garner's
Ferry crossing.
Mr.. II. G. Osteen thought it very
important that the new road to Tur
beville be opened without delay
citizens of that section have re
quested it and he was told that mucl

GREEKS OF ASIA MINOR
SEND MISSION TO AMERICA

A friendly mission which has come to
this country in behalf of the unredeemed
Greeks in Turkey includes among its
members Christos Vassalikaki, member
of the Greek Parliament, and N. G.
Kyriakides, a prominent shipowner and
trader. Both of these men have led
busy lives in the world of commerce and
politics. They have lately interested
themselves in the liberation of the
Greeks of Asia Minor because, as they
say, they could not remain Indifferent
observers of the sufferings and misery
of their compatriots. Although Mr..
Vassa1ikaki is member of the Greek
Parliament from the island of Lesbos,
he has lived part of his life in Smyrna
and is we'll acquainted with the Greek
people who live east of the Aegean.
stIn no district is the world struggle
between autocracy and liberalism more
clear-cut than between the Turks and
the Greeks in Asia Minor" Mr.. Vassali-
kaki recently declared, in an interview.
"The Turks are the most brilliant ex-
amp1es in history of -absolutism, imperial
rule, and the doctrine that Might makes

Morale, They Call 1t. and 1t Is
Winning the War
By BRUCE BAxroN

Back from the line they came. their minds fs1
Of pictures that refused to fade.
They did not smile, they did not joke; they
did not speak. Like mon grown old IN sine}e
night they dropped heavily upon the ground,
their eyes staring cold before them.
In moment the hut door opened and Ssers-
tary came out His eye took in the situation y
glance. 1t was no time for talk; he turned
back into his hut again.
And suddenly a baseball rolled out and
bounded on the ground; then came bat; and
gloves; and catchers mask.
A man who sat beside the hut picked up thf
ball and turned it idly in his hand if it had
been some foreign thing. Another man picked
up the bat third played absently with glove.
Then, like fame out of smouldering embersf
a baseball game born full hedged behind
that little hut. The air was filled with laughter,
and the loud shouts Of men whose minds are
cleansed of every worry, and whose hearts arc
free.
So peace came to those men who had been SO
burdened with their memories. And in the
morning they were fresh AS mon who had never
fought.
They call it morale-the miracle that restores
mems spirits and sends them back every morning
fresh and confident.
You have to-day your chance to contribute 70
morale. 1t is chance you must not miss.
For morale 10 winning the war.
