Sale of Medical Beer
Treasury VIII Issue Regula-
tions Soon

Washington, Oct. 30. - An
nouncement Of a definite treasury
policy for making available imme-
diately medical beer to the sick un-
der the new regulations may be eN-
pected shortly, high officials declar-
ed today.
Technicalities in the new regu-
lations discovered by prohibition
experts which might tend to delay
the actual operation Of the beer
regulations We're the subject OF a
conference today between Commis-
sioner Blair and Solicitor Mapes
of the internal revenue bureau.
Another question involved that of
making possible the immediate sale
Of beer for medical purposes. was
up for conference between Secre-
tary Mellon and Commissioner
Blair.
Prohibition C o n N is s o II r
Haynes has suggested that TIE
question of allowing brewers to dis
pose Of beer manufactured prior to
the> issuance Of the regulations, but
not yet dealcohoiized, might be sub
iect of conference with treasury
officials to determine, whether
stocks on hand in brewers ware
houes could be made available or
whether only beer manufactured
after the issuance of new regula-
tions could be distributed 10 the
sick.
Treasury officials asserted. how
ever, that in view Of the delay in
the issuance of the regulations
since Attorney General Palmer
rendered his opinion March 3, the
government should interpret its
rules broadly and avoid any red
tape procedure which might inter
fere with the brewers activities
under the rules. AS a matter Of
fact, officials asserted, the brewers
were entitled under the law TO
manufacture medical beer from the
time Mr.. Palmer's opinion was rem
dered without awaiting treasury
regulations, but had shown a dispo-
sition, in most cases, to conform to
government regulations in the mat

WHERE THE CLERGYMEN ARE

The editor OF the Century be-
lieves that the reason why there
are so many empty pulpits, SO many
ignorant pulpits and so many in
telEgent pulpits strangied by illib-
eral pews'' is that the men who
would, in former generation,
have gravitated naturally toward
the pulpit, now just as naturally
move into other fields of service.
Mr.. Frank names, as preachers
who have been and are preaching
through other mediums, such men
as Theodore Roosevelt; Winston
Churchill. author of '.The Inside Of
the Cup; Charles Ram Kennedy,
author of 1.-The Servant in the
House; Charles E. Hughes, who
preached basic moralities at county
fairs and political mass meetings;
and Woodrow Wilson, who made
to the young men at Princeton .'as
high appeals as any made by his
clerical predecessors. y
This is an interesting theory.
1t is backed up by people who
have observed that for many years
the social service recruits have
been largely from such young men
as formerly would have entered
the ministry. So, in many cases,
are those who enter Journalism.
There may be. in this a ground
for anxiety as to the future of the
church-or there may not. The
reaction fromfa aarrewness cramp-
ing to the intellect was bound to
come. But the enlarging Of the
fields Of those who, would serve by
preaching to include all the fields
Of puolie life makes for the widen
ing influence of truth and morality.
The human heart, alse. cannot
ave long without some spiritual eS-
preston. The church of the future
viii undoubtedly minister TO this
need without holding the mind in
chains.

LIES CLEAN SIDE.

The leading daily paper in one
of the large cities. has been con-
-ducting series of interviews with
prominent women concerning their
home lives and the circumstances
surrounding their marriages. Ev-
cry woman interviewed thus far is
happily married and has been for
years and is mistress of the best
type of American home.
These are women who would not
ordinarily give any publicity to
their personal affairs. They do it
now for the sake Of lesson and ex-
ample. Each simple love chronicle
as it appears is wholesome, heart
warming and far removed from the
1urid.
Such stories offer a pleasing con-
trast to the modern type Of SEN
suous fiction which young people
devour daily in books or see de-
picted upon the screen They help
to prove that public life and SER
vice do not interfere with compe-
tent home management. or happy
home life. They show that divorce
is not necessary to individual de-
velopment or the broadening of in
terest which helps to keep life free
from monotony. The more; good
women who let their stories of life's
clean side be published the better.

BARBECUE at Statcburg.

Mrs. W. NJ. Lenoir, Jr., principal
of Stateburg No. 10 rural school,
near Horatio !las requested the
Sumter Chamber of Commerce to
invite all of the people of this city
and county to attend q barbecue
and chicken supper at that school
house at 1880 o'clock, next Friday
evening, November 4th. The pro-
ceeds will be devoted to school i'm
provements in putting in more
needed desks, and other facilities.
Messrs. y. B. Murray, w. S.
Thompson, and r. NJ. Moore, the
trustees of this school district join
with Mrs. Lenoir in requesting that
big crowd attend from Sumter.
Any one who knows anything about
good eating and who attended the
hot supper at this school last fall,
will tell you that the ladies of this
school district are among the best
cooks in the world, and that the
men folks know how to provide
good things to eat. It is hoped
that Sumter will be there in num-
bers because the good people of
Stateburg are Sumter's friends and
among Sumter's best customers
and bank depositors
The effort to raise funds to i'm
prove school facilities being made
by the ladies' rural school improve
ment association of that district is
d commendable one and should be
encouraged by the public turning
out for this hot supper and helping
to put it over" by being there 10

for these who are there as there
are other features of the program
besides the splendid supper of a
variety OF good eats, but nothing
better than the supper.

Road Building
in the South

Columbia, Oct. Impressed
with the absolute necessity Of i'm
proved highways and realizing the
desirablity of building them at a
time when there is considerable
unemployment, the General AS
sembly Of Alabama has convened
in special session on call OF the
Governor for the purpose Of pass
a s25,00O,000 bond issue for. the
construction Of a state highway
system, says statement issued
Yesterday by the South Carolina
Good Road Association. The state
ment declares that there is activity
in almost every state in the nation
now along road-building lines and
declares that the people of South
Carolina should unite and demand
the inauguration OF program OF
road building on a broad scale IN
this state. ii
cat the next session of the Vir;-
einia General Assembly, says the
statement st is proposed to au-
thoriZe a bond issue IN the sum ol
$4,000, 900 for the construction OF
roads. AS is generally known an
issue Of $5O,000,000 was authorized
at the last session of the North
Carolina General Assembly and
permanent highways are being
built all over the state.
1T is row clearly up to South
Carolina to take steps to insure road
building in this state on a large
scale or we are surely going to
find ourselves commercially handi-
capped. Our farm lands are go
ing to decline in value; our rural
population will decrease and soon
the life Of the whole state will be
affected. This is the age of pro-
sress and one must keep step with
his neighbor or be lost in the
shuttle"

Wages Reduced
in Canada

Toronto, Oct. 2S.-Canadian
lumberjacks have moved back to
pre-war wages with one stride.
numbering concerns in Northern
Ontario and Quebec are paying
them 81 a day and their board and
report that they will be able to oD-
crate on a larger scale than was
considered possible a few months
ago, says a dispatch to the To-
ronto Globe. Last year skilled
workmen in the lumber camps re-
ceived from $50 to $40 month and
their board.
The reduced cost of production
is expected to stimulate building
operations which have been halted
by high lumber prices despite a
housing shortage throughout the
dominion.
For 81 a day, the lumberjacks
work 10 hours in the open, fre-
quently with The temperature 10 to
20. degrees below zero and they
subsist on the plainest of fares.

rally held in the First Presbyter-
ian church was addressed by Gov.
r. A. Cooper, who delivered a very
pointed and practical speech in
which he stressed the importance
of spirit Of peace among all peo-
pie, and made a plea to the citizens
of South Carolina for their obe-
dience to the laws at this time. He
stressed the high importance Of
men in all phases Of Sunday school

tive stand in the work Of the Sun

a decided success. The young peo-
pie who met at the Episcopal

1t is reported that a number of
Sumter county farmers and farm
laborers are considering removal to
Florida and other sections, having
become discouraged and panicky
on account OF the boil weevil situa-
ton. This has been one result OF
the boil weevil invasion in every
section Of the south. People who
failed to adjust themselves to boil
weevil conditions before the pests
arrived, having no faith in the re-
ports of boil weevil ravages in other
states, become panic stricken when
the truth is brought home to them
by personal disaster and seek es-
cape by running off to some other
state. There is just as good pros
poets and fully as great opportun-
ity to make a living in Sumter
county as elsewhere, and the peo-
pie who stay here and work hard
will be as we'll off next year as
those who esnigrate Here or else
where, hard work and economy
will be rewarded equally as well. a
change of scene cannot bring
prosperity Or produce living
without hard work intelligently
directed.

Notice to Subscribers.

Statements have been mailed to
all subscribers to the Watchman
and Southron.. We know, without
being told, that times are hard and
money scarce-no one knows it
better than we do, and for this rea-
son we urge those who are in
debted to us to make prompt pay
nlent of the small amounts due.
No one owes any-large sum, and no
one Will miss the amount they
owe us. The idea that because
no. one owes us a large sum for
subscription that we can get along
without it is erroneous, for while
no one owes much there are more
than thousand Of these past due
accounts on our books amounting
in the aggregate to several thcus-
and dollars. We need this money
more urgently than ever before in
the history Of this newspaper
owing to the heavy loss sustained by
the fire that destroyed our entire
printing plant last June. The new
equipment cost great deal more
than the { I'D, in consequence Of the
advance in prices as result Of the
war. The insurance that we car
ried was based upon the pre-war
cost of the plant, and when we had
to buy new machinery the insur-
ance money did not so far toward
replacing that which the fire de-
stroyed For this reason we are
in need of every dollar that is due
US ard we ask that our friends call
and settle or remit by mail at the
earliest date possible.
