HagOod's, News Notes.

Rembert, Sept. 23-Fine crops the
country over, fine crops on the pen
insula, but we have the boil weevil
sure enough this time but not I'm a
quantity to do much harm but may be
enough for seed. And the people are
not prepared. In our entire COM
munity only three or four are in any
measure prepared, one of whom is a
colored man. That has generally
been the case. where this scourge has
made it's appearance. Folks usually
are incredulous. You may send off
delegations to the infested districts
and they may come back and tell us
all about it but we will sit down
and wait to know the worst before
we act, especially if a small outlay of
money and work is involved.
is 1T not a real pleasure to see one
whom disease has tortured and pinch
ed savagely for years, especially if
that one be sorne dear friend, in the
conscious enjoyment Of the fact that
they are on the highway to recovery.
That pleasure was mine the other day
when i met Mrs. Sylvester Allen. She
went to Richmond and had her ton
siis removed
we are sorry to note that excellent
woman and splendid neighbor, Mrs.
w. J. Spencer ,is sick again; but from
last news was recovering.
Mrs. T. r. Moody who in company
with Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Shaw OF
Syracuse, went to the mountains of
western North Carolina after an ex-
tensive trip to Knoxville, Tenn, is at
home again much improved by the
trip.
And so Miss Courtenay Atkinson
with Mrs. j. L. Jackson after a short
stay at Glenns went to Saluda, n. c.,
has returned invigorated by the brac-
ing mountain air.
Mrs. II. G. Bethea is at home again
from Altapass where she spent a few
pleasant weeks.
While in the mountains there came
TO us the pleasing announcement that
Jesse Il. Jackson, teacher in the
South Carolina University and Miss
Teresa Sanders, youngest daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace Sanders, had
become man and wife. No finer
couple have welded recently in Sum
ter county.
Douglas Spencer is attending the
Sumter high school.
Mr.. and Mrs G.. II. IenOir with
their son Eugene dined with Robert
f.. Atkinson Sunday.
1t is rumored that Mr.. J. L. Jack
sno OF Hagood contemplates in COM
pany with Mr.. and Mrs. II. p. San
ders trip to Houston, Texas, Occa-
sion, Confederate reunion. He will
doubtless visit on the trip his son,
Bl'sh Jackson, i'm Louisiana.
We understand that Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. w. Sanders will also go.
CHARLES Sanders, Jr.. and Emmett
Emanuel have returned to Clemson.
And so Dinkins' Mill has become the
camping ground for more than one
set OF young folks. This year in addi-
tion to the Y. w. G. A. of Columb bia.
the Camp Fire girls Of Sumter ana
another company Of young folk were
there. This property last year was in
sad need OF repairs, has been thor
oughly overhauled. and everything
from wheat mill down is humming.
The miller tells me the patronage Of
the wheat mill extends from below
Wedgefield TO above Camden.

Fourth Red Cross
Roll Call
Will Be Held November III to rs,
1920

The fourth Red Cross roll call will
be held from Armistice Day, Novem-
Der |, to Thanksgiving Day, November
25, 1920. This is the time set for the
renewal Of membership in the Ameri-
can Red Gross and the securing of
new members. The coming roll call
will begin on the same day of the
month that marked the close of the
signing up" period prescribed for
last fall and will extend over a long
er time by five days, the third roll call
having started on, November 2.
The decision has been made by the
American Red Cross TO make each an
niversary of the end of the World
War, henceforth, the occasion for re-
newing popular allegiance to the Red
Cross through dollar annual m member-
ships. The grand objective behind the
Fourth Roll Call and for all the an
nual roll calls; for that matter-is 10
secure as nearly as possible universal
membership. -
The obligations of the organization,
which are financed through the an
nual dollar memberships, include con-
tinuation of measures in behalf of
AIHeTlcd 3 veterans or the WOfIQ w ar,
particularly the disabled; service for
Army and Navy under all conditions;
development of stouter nationaB re-
sistance to disease through Health
Centers, increase OF the country's
nursing resources and cooperation
with official agencies; continued pre-
paredness for disaster relief; Home
Service and community work; and
completion of relief work among the
war-exhausted and disease ridden
peoples overseas.
Ten million members are now en-
rolled under the banner of the Amer
lean Red Cross. This is twenty times
the pre-war membershipsof the So
ciety; and, in addition, there are four
teen million" members of the Junior
Red Cross. Division Managers and
their assistants are planning to make
the 1921 roll call'a more enthusiastic
and more nearly universal function
than it's predecessor, counting on the
greater popular knowledge, founded
on the practical work put into effect
during the past year, and a better
conception of the peace-time program
TO stimulate interest among all classes
of the country's population.
