Tho city of Sumter wa? tho ccntor of attraction to ibo people of South Caro Lina last week. It was tho occasion for tho gathering of thousands of repre sentativo citizens from all parts of tho State, and Sumter did the handsome thing in their entertainment. Wednes day and Thursday wore tho groat days of tho carnival week. A novel feature was tho automobile racing which was ?hi tro?lneed for tho first timo in South Caro lina. On Thursday afternoon was tho foot hall game between the toa ins of "tV ash i ngt on and Leo University ami tho South Carolina College. Tho latter won by a score of '21 to 0. both sides played well, hut the South C'liolina team had it pretty nundi their own Wily, lt was wit tossed by thousands of interested spec bit ors. At its conclusion wore prize .drills in which several companies look part. Tho (list prize was won hythe oom putty from Georgetown and tho second from Itichland. Thursday evening a banquet was given in honor of tho foot, ball foams at tho Hotel Suinter. A notable feature of tho evening was tho feast of reason and llow of soul. A happy incident was the pre sentation to Governor lleywartl bf a cano mounted in gold. Tho i >t respondent of tho Charleston Nows ami Courier well says : Mayor (i ugo W. Dick's little spooeb, presenting the cane to the Governor, was au uncommonly happy effort, oven for i i eorgo Diek whom, by tim way, ono of the youngest speakers alluded to as tho "Mayor of South Carolina," timi brought down ibo louise. It's a great thing for a town to have a mayor wdio is a credit to I in publie as well as in private, and snob is tho Game Cook Mayor. Mayors aro selected with caro in Sumter. Tho '.'ollowing from the Slayer's presentation speech must have gratified thc Cbvorhor to the fullest : "We love you, Governor. We have all watched your career since taking your seat in tho Gubernatorial chair with tho keenest interest, and in your many trials have sympathized lu) little. We fully re alize that lhere are matters, especially those touching executive clemency, that at timi's weigh heavy upon you, but knowing your faith in our One All Wise (Snider, and believing that your actions in all sm h aftturs aro tho results of your direct appeals to His tb rb tic of grace and mercy, wo may rest assured that our country's cause is safe in your hands.
