A Call For $4,000 Census
Enumerators.

The Director of the Census, Hon.
Sam L. Rogers, announces that SO,-
600 enumerators will be needed to
take the next census. The work be-
gins on January 2 and will last about
two weeks in cities, and month or
more in rural districts. Rates of pay
will vary, depending upon the locall-
ty and character of the district to be
canvassed. The average pay per
enumerator of 1910 was about $40.
At this coming census it will proba-
bly, be not less than $1o0.
"Active, intelligent and reliable
men and women, not less than IL
years of age, are needed for this
task" said Director Rogers, "and in
a sense, this is a call for volunteers.
The importance of complete and
reliable census, especially in these
critical times when more than ever
before perhaps, we need complete
data rgarding population, conditions,
tendencies and resources, can hard
ly be over-emphasized. The reorgan-
;zation of the social and economic
structure and the readjustment Of
internal relations necessitated by
the war must be based on accurate
knowledge if we are to act wisely
and deal justly with all classes and
all interests. 1t is hoped, therefore,
that public-spirited, energetic people
throughout the country will volun-
teer to act as census enumerators
even though they may not care for
the positions so far as the pay is con-
cerned. sould be sorry to think, and
I do not believe, that all our patri-
otism was used up by the war and
none left over for public service in
times of peace"
Col. B. F. Davies, Supervisor of
the Census for the Second District
of South Carolina, which includes
the counties of Aiken, Allenda,e,
Bamberg, Barnwell, Beaufort, Edge
field, Jasper, Hampton and Saluda,
states he will need large number of
enumerators for this district. Appli-
cations or requests for application
forms should be sent to him on or
before October 25. His address is
Barnwell, S. C.
AS test of their fitness for the
work applicants will be required to
fill out sample schedule and will be
duly notified of the time and place
for this test. So far as practicable,
the place selected will be one which
is easily accessible.

John Wesley experimental in sleep

Finding he woke every night about
twelve and lay sleepless for some

and rise earlier. The first day he rose
at seven instead of eight, the next at
six, the next at five, the next at four,
BY rising at that hour he found he
slept without waking throughout his
ration and thereafter rose at four

Hostess Woman's Club.
At the request of the local COM
mittee of which Mr.. John Arnett is
chairman the Woman's Club at it's
regular bi-monthly meeting on We'd
nesday afternoon, assumed the re-
sFonsibility of raising the first dis
trict's quota Of the Salvation Army
Fund, for which drive will be
made the week Of October 26 to No
vember l. The county has been ask
ed for $4,000 and $3.50 of this has
been assigned to the first district, but
with the Woman's Club behind it,
there is no question of the success
of raising the required amount, first
because the cause itself is more than
justifiable, and then because the
Woman's Club, public spirited and
tireless number of energetic women
that they are, have heretofore ac-
complished where others have fail
ed. 1t was due to the interest and
energy Of the Woman's Club, and
to them alone, that any sort of well
come was staged in our town for
welcoming the Battery D Boys home.
Others might" have done it, but the
Woman's Club "did" it, and the Sal
walton Army Committee is fortunate
in securing their aid in this under
taking. They have not definitely an
nounced their campaign plans for
raising the money.

AMERICAN WORKER
CRAFTSMEN ARE URGED BY THE

NATIONS VEAL.
In Labor Day Message, President vii.
son Expresses Gratific alton at
Labor's Attitude in Supporting
Government Program.

Observation-Disclosures Wilson, in 6
Labor Day message to American work
ers, announced that he would call in
the near future conference Of rep
resentatiyes of labor and industry tic
discuss fundamental means of better
ing the whole relationship of capital
and labor and putting the whole ques
ton of wages upon another footing
The president said he was encour'
aged and pleased with the results thus
far of the governments efforts to
bring down the cost of living, and ex.
pressed confidence that substantial re.
suits would be achieved in the solving
of this problem. Patience and Wig
lance, however, he said, must be eXer-
cised, and the. governments efforts
must have the cooperation of every
citizen.
Presumably referring to the existing
labor unrest and threats of strikes, the
president appealed to every citizen to
refrain from doing anything that would
tend to increase the cost of living, but,
instead to do all possible to promote
production.
Gratified at Labor's Attitude.
The president expressed particular
qualification at the attitude taken by
labor in supporting the governments
program to meet requests for addi-
tional wages through a lowering OF
living costs, and said he hoped that
the workers themselves would move
with the government instead of against
1t in the solution of this great domes-
tic problem"
