his rife over the top and fired two shots
when "crack' went a bullet and he
tumbled off the step, fell into the mud
at the bottom Of the trench, and lay
still In a huddled heap with bullet
hole in his forehead.
At about the time he expected to ar

LIBERTY BONDS

THIS WEEK-APRIL 6TH-a new
campaign to fioct $4,000, O,000,000.00 Of
Liberty Bonds ~ be started. We are
hopeful that our people will be more
liberal buyers of this issue than Of
the bonds previously issued. The war
Will continue for some time vel. But
we MUST and we WILL win. To car
ry 1t on, Uncle Sammy MUST have
money. Western Farmers promise to
be heavy buyers of these bonds, and
special efforts will be made to induce
Southern Farmers to buy, because IL
is believed that the Southern Farmers
will get more for their products this
year than ever before. Consequently
they will have more money than ever.
Lend some Of your money to Uncle
Sam by buying Londs. It Is an abso-
lutely SAFE investment. Uncle Sam
will pay you back, and II he should
get to the place where he can't pay,
the money that YOU might have paid
for bonds won't be Of any value to
you. Help Uncle Sam to win with
your money and More FOOD CROPS
and make what You have worth More.

PALMETTO GLEANINGS.
Happenings and Events Of Interest in
South Carolina.

South Carolina.
The new quart-a-month law was
declared constitutional by Circuit
Judge Sease, in a decision filed at
Sumter Monday. 1t Is understood
that an appeal will be taken to the
supreme court and that tribunal call
ed upon for a final decision. The
case in which the decision vas filed
by Judge Sease resulted from the re-
fusal OF Probate Judge Richardson, OF
Sumter to issue any permits under the
new law on the ground that 1t vas his
belief that the law is unconstitu-
tional in that 1t devolves duties upon
the judges Of probate beyond the scope
OF their duties fixed by the constitu-
tion and that the law violates the Sec
tion Of the constitution which requires
that an act she'll relate to but one
subject which shall be expressed In
the title. Both sections are over
ruled by Judge Sease in his decision.
The case Is friendly one for the
purpose Of testing the law. Mandamus
proceedings against the probate Judge
to require him to grant the permit In
issue were instituted by the attorney
generals office, the probate judge con-
ceding the liquor was desired for
medicinal purposes.

public by the United States depart
ment of agriculture through the bu-
reau of crop estimates for this state.

reau of crop estimates for this state.

teresting estimates for South Carolina
US well as the United States as whole
| in this regard: South Carolina, per

WOMEN DELINQUENTS.
President Has Set Aside $250,ooo for
Their Reformation.

President Wilson has set aside
$3.50, 900 from his $100,00O,0O0 war
emergency fund for the use OF the
commission on training camp activi-
ties in establishing additional refor-
matory facilities and houses Of detsn-
ton for delinquent girls and women
found near military camps. The mon
ey will be spent in the south where
majority Of the camps are located
and II is planned to aid several exist
ing state reformatories by building
new cottages which will accommodate
80 or 60 occupants.
Each state will be required to share
the expense Of construction by appro-
priating sum equal to It's allotment
and agree to complete the reformatory
within one year.
The women will remain at the re-
formatory from one to three years and
will be trained along industrial lines.
The institutions to be aided will be
those which, like the Sleighton Farm
at Darling. Pa. have been erected on
the cottage plan in the country. AT
some places u cottage, accommodating
80 women complete itself with dining
room and kitchen, will be built. AT
others where 1t Is necessary to pro-
vide for 60 occupants, two rooming
cottages will he erected with de-
tached dining room and kitchen for
both.
The only state SO far definitely Sc
lected to receive a gift Is South Caro-
lima which had made an appropriation
of land and money for a reformatory
near Columbia.
New buildings will not be construct
ell for detention homes. Houses will
simply be adopted for the purpose and
young girls may be held in them
pending disposition by the courts.
They will receive medical attention,
meanwhile.
A special committee to disburse the
fund, now being organized by Mr.. Fos-
dick, includes among its personnel
Mrs. Newton D. Baker, wife OF the
secretary Of war. who has been active
in sociological and welfare work
among the soldiers. 1t will work In
connection with the committee on pro-
tective work for girls and the law en-
forcement bureau. botli adjuncts OF
the training camp committee.
THE centering Of tens Of thousands
of men at certain points has naturally
increased the number Of girls and wo-
men at these places needing correc-
tion." declared Mr.. Fosdick. land the
present policy OF enforcing strictly
state and federal laws against vice
has brought out forcibly the acute
need for increased facilities where
young girls may stay while awaiting
the action Of the court and institutions
where the more confirmed delinauents
may be confined"
