BOXES FOR SOLDIERS
Dick Anderson Chapter Re-
members Convalescents at
Camp Jackson

It does not seem to be known gen
orally that there are still convalescent
soldiers at Camp Jackson, but there
are and just about one hundred fifty
of them. The u. D. c. chapters OF
the State have been sending boxes to
these soldiers every week, two chap
ters at time, twice a week. Last
Thursday was the day for Dick An
derson Chapter of Sumter to send.
The Chapter is a large one but very
few of the members were in town.
Only those at hand were called upon
and they generously contributed the
contents of two boxes. seventy-seven
pounds, which left Nor camp on the
eleven o'clock train Thursday morning.
In the boxes were ten cigarettes apiece
for every man, two large chocolate
cakes, a large pound cake, small choc-
olate and small pound cakes, jellies.
preserves biscuits, sweet chocolate and
chocolate peanut brittle and matches.
Some of the jellies and the matches
Were contributions from the Sumter
Canteen Service.
The following letter has been re-
ceived in acknowledgment Of these
boxes:
Miss Armida Moses, President Dick
Anderson Chapter, U. D. G.
Dear Miss Moses: Am writing to
thank your chapter in behalf Of the
convalescents for the lovely boxes of
nice things which you sent to them.

feet condition and a part Of the con-
tents were given to the boys on their
return from trip to tow,, last even
ing. The rest will distribute in the
wards this morning when can as
sure you it will be most gratefully re-
ceived. These boxes were among the
incest we have gotten. Again thank
ing your chapter, I am,
Very sincerely,

many days. With the far reaching
State organizations carrying the mes
sage of economy and increased pro-

the federal authorities in bringing to
justice. hoarders and prodteers Off

nounced'' certain facts are clear:
81 That all the people Of the ma
ton and all organizations should i'm
mediately cooperate for the purpose
of increasing the production Of the
necessaries of life.
'.2 That economy in consumption
and care in purchasing the neces-
saries of life are equally important
with production.
SO. That every agency of the feder-
al and State governments should CO
operate forthwith to prevent prof.
teering.
THE attorney general has assured
us that he will pursue under existing
and proposed laws all profteers.
..The suggestion of the attorney
general that a fair price commission
er be appointed in each of the States
and fair price committees in the diff
ferent localities Of States upon the
nominations Of the governors was in
dorsed.
While the attorney general ex-
pressed a desire to reply upon the as
sistance of community efforts in the
direction of the elimination Of prof.
teering through local fair price COM
naittees. he gave assurance that when
such efforts were not forthcoming and
results were nto satisfactory, his de-
partment would handle these ques-
tions directly.
"The attorney general was assured
that every State agency which could
be of service in this emergency was
placed at his command and he was at
liberty to call for any information and
assistance he desired for the State
authorities"

be communicated to every governor

MATTHEW'S
TAKES THIRD
ST, ST, .
Game Cocks Defeated in Last
Game of Season

In a game of baseball that was not
as good as the previous ones, ST.
Matthews defeated Sumter here Thurs
day 5 to 8. St Matthews gained the
lead in the first inning when Banks,
first batter up, secured a double off
Of Pearson's offerings. went to third
on bunt and scored on Gressette's
single to right field not for once dur
ing the entire game did the visitors
drop behind in the score. Banks
came back strong on Thursday, after
a poor showing Wednesday, and Sc
cured two of the visitors scores. The
locals netted two runs in the third
when Nunnamaker walked and scor-
ed on Johnson's home run, which was
the only one of the game.
Pearson, who was on the mound for
Sumter, was no puzzle to the ST.
Matthews hitters. He was hit f-e-
uuently and consistently when hits
were needed. BILL" Clarke manag-
ed to keep the locals hits well scat
tered. He was decidedly the better
Of the two pitchers and deserves the
victory such as it was.
The feature of the game was the
playing of Banks for st. Matthews and
Burns and Johnson for Sumter Both
pitchers were gievn the proper kind
of support that would enable them to
win.
The longest drive Of the game was
that of Banks to centerfield in the
fourth inning and netted only two
bases. Second to this lick was that
of Johnson over the leftfield fence
for a home run. While the game was
not as good as some previous games,
still it cannot be called a poor game.
1t was the first defeat for the locals
in the last six games and still leaves
Sumter as the best amateur team IN
this part Of South Carolina.
The baseball season has most prob
ably ended in Sumter. The last Sc
ries will be that with Cheraw IN

not defeated We predict that the

the meeting place on account of the
