Only a portion Of the war work done
by the United Daughters Of the Con-
federacy after the United States en-
tered the war has been tabulated but
the report of this gives some tremen-
dous figures Of amounts taken in the
Liberty Loan drives. of contributions
for all war funds. work in the Red
Cross and so forth. Unique however
in the records of patriotic organiZa-
tons was the work done by the L. D.
C. IN endowing hospital beds. The
American Military Hospital No. /,
Neuilly, France. was the hospital Sc
lected and in this the United Daugh-
ters Of the Confederacy endowed sew

diers of 1S61-1S65,' "The Brave Sol
diers Fighting in France" and so
forth. These brass plates are to be
placed in museums in France.
Richard E. Power. executive secre-
tary of this hospital wrote the presi-
dent general of the L. D. c.. Miss
Mary B. Poppenheim of Charleston:
4 should like to say to YOU word
of personal admiration. not alone for
the splendid interest which your or
ganiza ton has shown in the work for
this hospital. but also for the wonder
fully efficient manner in which your
organization functions. You certain
ly have the spirit of cooperation and
team work eXemplifed in a marvel
Gus degree. and I am sure that the y.
D. C. could readily accomplish tasks
which less efficiently organized asso-
Citations could not even undertake..

Howell
Children,s Gardens.

For the past week Z have been visit
ing in Sumter and my attention has
been specially attracted by the chill
dren's gardens.
}s Sumter is, I think. rather unique
in having a garden director who is
teaching the children in the city
schools how to garden in the most
modern and scientific way. She has a
hundred or more gardens under her
charge and the children seem most
irterested and enthusiastic in their
work.
With the help of the director they
have chosen the most favored spot in
mothers garden. and when this was
not possible their enthusiasm has led
them to dig and hoe and plant the
rarking. And one showed his great
faith in the garden that was to be by
renting vacant lot and by hard
work Transforming an unsightly spot
into one of beauty and usefulness
Some Of the young gardeners, to en-
phasize their ownership. have wired
oft the space given them, and along
this treliis have planted beans so as
to economic space and labor.
IN the gardens are found winter
spring and summer vegetables. One
little aearly bird. has even been
selling corn for several weeks. The
chldren gather their vegetables with
pride and some are learning to pre-
pare and cook them.
"A committee appointed to judge
these gardens is making daily visits
and hopes to turn in their report
shortly when prizes will be awarded.
The children are selling their vese-
tables at the Childrens' Market on
the Cour. House steps at nine o'clock
every Saturday morning. This has
been a great encouragement TO the
young gardeners, and with the mon
i5ey they hope to buy tools. fertilizers
etc, so that next year their gardens
may be even better.

The Children's Market which is held

day morning is not receiving the pat
ronage from the housekeepers which
it deserves. The children are there
promptly, with their baskets Of fresh
vegetables and fruit, but the purchas-
ers are few, and last week the little
folks had to dispose Of their wares
from door to door. The prices are
regulated by a committee OF LADIES
and are guaranteed to be standard
and the quality Of the produce Is first

RED CROSS NOTES.

Because the war is over and the

Death.

Mr.. Sam NJ. Haynsworth. one Of the
best known citizens of the Foreston
section of Clarendon county, died
suddenly at Martins Lake yesterday
afternoon about ; O'Clock. He was
fishing on the lake and fell from his
boat into the water. as the result Of q
stroke of apopleXy. it is thought.
Help reached him within a few min
utes. but when he was removed from
the water life was extinct. Mr..
Haynsworth was known and sincerely
liked by all the Sumter fishermen
who have been accustomed to fish at
Martins Lake and vicinity. He was
about So years old and unmarried.

JOY SERVES NOTICE
 ON GAMBLING HERE

While he is withholding action for a few days until he has received a written opinion from County Attorney Robert N French relative to the in depreciation to be put upon the new state gambling law in its enforcement Deputy Sheriff J. K Joy yesterday announced that all card playing for money, chips, markers, or anything of monetary value, must cease. It is his intention to enforce the law strictly, he said
 According to Mir Joys interpreta- tion, card playing in clubs for money, chips or chalk" as he expressed it, is not to be tolerated and he will ar rest any one found violating the law.
 Similar steps were taken several days ago by the peace officers at Lowell, which is said to be closed tight fer the first time in consider able period.
 Mir. Joys personal interpretation of the law is that playing for prizes at card club is a violation of the law, but this was one of the, phases of the new enactment upon which he re quested enlightenment of Mir. French.
