FOSTER REPJDIATEO.
BY EJGENE Y. DEBS
UItya-Radical Communist Leader
No Longer Supported by So
sialist Dictator

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-Commun-
ism has definitely split the So
cialistic ranks Of the country, and
Eugene V. Debs, Socialist party
dictator, has withdrawn his sup
port from the ultra-liberal group
led by VIM. z. Foster, it was
learned Wednesday.
The split has come through a
struggle between the moderate and
extremist liberals Of control Of the
International Ladies Garment
Worker union here. Foster, who
has been trying to convert the
union to coInmunistic principles by
claiming the support of Debs, was
repudiated by the Socialist leader
in a statement issued n Chicago.
Since his trial on a, charge Of
criminal syndicalism in Michigan,
Foster has been working through
the workers party, which he or
ganized, and spreading propaganda
through the Trades Union Educa-
tional league. he split the com
bined conference OF the Farmer
Labor party and trade unions here
having stacked" it with workers.
party votes, it is said. Out Of the
communistic factions at this con-
vention he formed the Federated
FaTmers-Labor party, which is an
other tool in his hands.
The more conservative liberals
the farmers Of She sFarmer-La-
Dor party and the Chicago union
leaders, including the veteran
John Fitzpatr;ck-refused to go
with him. Debs' announcement
makes the split complete.

ASSOCIATION
WILLNEET WEDNESDAY
Newly Organized Body Will AS
semble at 10 o Clock in Com
merce Chamber Offices

The first monthly meeting of the
Sumter County Poultry association
will be held Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock in the office of the
Chamber of Commerce at the
court house. Secretary T. o. Mar
shall in announcing the date of
the meeting expressed the hope
that large attendance of the
members will be present.
Az this meeting it is planned to
discuss among other things the ex-
hibit to be made at the Sumter
County Fair here Sept. 25-29, when
it is expected a number of parties
interested in poultry as CONNER
cial proposition will send repre-
sentatives to Americas. Already a
most creditable exhibit is assured,
but the promoters of the poultry
association are anxious to have
poultry establish commercial go
ing concern in the county at the
earliest possible date, and the
greater the showing made at the
fair, the sooner this can be ac-
complished.
Since the last melting of poul-
try breeders when the Sumter as
sociation was formed, a number of
Americas residents have indicated
their intention of putting in siz-
able flocks with the purpose OF
adding to these as rapidly as sue
cess crowns their efforts in
handling a smaller number of
birds. These fanciers, it is point
ed out by Secretary Marshall, can
receive valgable information
through attending the meetings Of
the association regularly, these be-
ing occasions when the various
breeders exchange ideas and tell of
their several experiences in the
hanrlineS of flocks. There are no
dues or expense Of any kind CON
nected with membership in the as
sociation, and every fowl faneier in
the county is urged by the officers
of the poultry association to be-
come members Of the organization.

Splendid Church Structure

CUTLER TELLS OF NEEDS
Building Program Called Large
or Larger Than That of Amy
Other Georgia Church

The work on the First Methodist
church building will continue with
out interruption, completing the
Sunday school room first, then the
auditorium. A sufficient number
of workmen will be kept on the
building to complete as early as
possible.
This fact was made clear at a
meeting of so or 60 men of the
church at the court house Monday
night, when reports were made by
church officials regarding the f.
nancial status, future plans and
rehearsal of what already has been
accomplished.
More than 100000 has been ex-
pended up to the present for ma
terial, labor, freight and other in
cidentals. The treasurer has paid
$4,000 on this gross expenditure,
leaving a balance, not yet due, of
$4,000.
Subscriptions from 364 members,
and friends of the church, total
ing $108,000, have been made. To
this sum there was added $21. 900
from insurance on, the old build
ing, thus making $4,000 avail
able for the new project.
There is balance of $4,000 in
subscriptions not yet paid, due at
stated intervals over a period of
three to five years. Only AS of
the 364 persons subscribing to the
building fund have failed to pay
any part of their subscriptions.
Pastor John M. Cutler opened
the meeting with the statement
that he had appeared before the
women's organizations of 1.-THE
church and they have pledged to
do their part in producing funds
for completion of the building;
that the Sunday school pupils were
more than meeting their share.
He said friend of the church
had visited him Monday afternoon
and promised to pay the salary of
one brick mason for three or four
weeks.

1921, that we have been operating

largely due to large amounts ex-
