The Appeal of the Service Men
The members of the local post of the American Legion makes
this, its last appeal to the voters of the good county of Sumter. From
thence forward the voice of the Legion will not be heard unless an
other occasion arises when the honor of the State is in the balance
We appeal to you in the name of the greatest nation in the world, we
appeal to you in the name of our native state, to defeat Tom atson
and Tom Hardwick at the polls on the Bth.
We appeal to you in the name of those who sleep in Fiander
Fields, beneath the blood red poppies, row on row’. Poppies crim
soned, as it were with their life blood which they so freely gave
for humanity; we appeal to you, the mothers, fathers, sisters, sweet
hearts, brothers and friends in the name of those men who rest be
neath the sod, to uphold principles that were ever present in their
minds as they turned their faces westward to join that innumerable
caravan from which they cannot return; we appeal to every man who
served honorably in the greatest of wars to catch the falling torch
and hold it high, in fact to hold it so high that those who have not
yet realized that their country is worth dying for and that the inter
est of their nation is to be looked at rather than the hero-worship of
unpatriotic men.
The hope and the supreme desire of every member of the Am
erican Legion is most aptly and fittingly expressed in the following
lines:
“Let true Americanism be breathed by every American mother
to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap, let it be taught in schools,
in seminaries, and in colleges, let it be written in primers, spelling
books and almanacs, let it be preached from the pulpits, be proclaimed
in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And in short let it
become the POLITICAL RELIGION of our NATION, and let the rich
and the poop, the grave and the gpy of all tongues and colors a?.d se:?. -
and conditions. SACRIFICE UNCEASINGLY upon its altars.”

the Third District A. & M. College
in Americus. At this school the ex
ercises began with a scripture read
ing by George P. Seig and Supt. Mc-
Math made a brief talk. R. C. Mo
ran then gave the pupils and patrons

Hntington Has 75.

and several others to be present. Miss
Lillah Echols is principal there this
year, being assisted by Miss Fannie
Williams, of Hamilton. This is Miss
Williams' first year in the Sumter
school system but Miss Echols is
well known for her effective work
last year. Here the exercises be
gan with the singing of “America”
by the assemblage, after which the
invocation was given by Rev. Guy
ton Fisher. Immediately after the
■invocation Mr. Fisher began his ad

the problems of the child entering
school. He was followed by R. 1 -
Moran, and Supt. McMath, the ex
ercises concluding with talks by J.
E. D. Shipp, H. R. Murphy, one of
the trustees of Huntington school,
and Miss Echols, who made a plea
for the co-operation and assistance,
of her patrons’ and the students in
the management of the school.

There’s not enough phosphorous in
' modern foods to benefit nearly one
half of the men and women of Amer-
I tea, scientists declare.
i To overcome this lack of an ele
, n.ent of your body that is necessary
to your health, your happiness and
I even your success in life, weak, anea-
I mic people are advised to take Bitro-
Phosphate as dispensed in leading
drug stores in the original package.
Speaking of people who are easily
fatigued, who lack ambition, nerve
and are ofttimes thin, weak, and sadly
lacking in firm, healthy flesh, Joseph
D. Harrigan, formerly Visiting Spe
cialist, North Eastern Dispensary, N.
Y., says:
“Patients who were apparently
physical wrecks who foolishly thought
| they needed only a blood tonic to en-
I rich the blood, have come for treat
ment trembling and shading, their
nerve force almost exhausted and in
many such cases the administering of
Bitro-Phosphate has produced seem
ingly magical results.”
People who feel the heat of sum
• mer, tire easily and often become ir
' I ritable and depressed, will find Bitro
■, Phosphate an inexpensive and helpful
friend.
Druggists report a wonderful in-
■ crease in the demand from men and
r women who are anxious to renew old-
time ambition and who are making an
I honest effort to become vigorous and
i keen minded with a power of endur
i ance that denotes almost perfect
s health.
They ask for Bitro-Phosphate be-
■ cause they know they need an inex-
■ pensive organic phosphate.
