The city of Sumter was in full glory last week. It was cer tainly a red letter week. The Travellers Protective Associa tion held its annual convention there and it was entertained most handsomely, and on last Friday Hon. James Wilson Sec retary of Agriculture, Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant industry; Congressman Scott of Kansas, chairman of the agricultural committee and Con gressman Lever, were in atten dance on the farmers convention. These distinguished visitors were also entertained by the city. The chamber of commerce had charge of all of the arrange ments, and well did they handle the great task. There was an immense crowd, and all forms of entertainment was provided, horse racing, base ball, automo bile riding, speeches and ban quets. The details of this im mense affair has been fully pub lished in the daily newspapers. It was a great day, and only demonstrated what a pull to gether-spirit can accomplish. The visit of a Cabinet officer, and members of Congress to a city means a great deal. Congress man Lever is a member of the committee on agriculture, and he is constantly seeking to se cure aid from the government in the interest of the farmer. It was through his influence these distinguished gentlemen attend ed the farmers meeting, ,which was the grandest ever held in the State, and it is our opinion, Congressman Lever will from this occasion have a ready list ener in Secretary Wilson, and Chairman Scott, whenever he wants an appropriation in the interest of agriculture. The large attendance at the farmers meeting gave each of the many speakers a most, attentive hear ing, and when the visitors from Washington came to the front a regular old time southern ova Stion was exteiided to each and all of them, especially was this noticable when that distinguish ed Iowia, Secretary Wilson was introduced, the audience rose, cheered, waved handker chiefs and hats for several min utes, and the cordial demonstra tion' was not lost upon the speaker. He was visibly affect ed by it. The great audience also ten dered Congressman Lever a grand ovation. In him they realize and appreciate that they have a sincere representative, and hard worker, a man who ~does not waste the people's time in playing politics in Con gress, but is always doing some thing in the interests of his con stituency, that they should show their appreciation in the pres ence of the gentlemen from Washington was very proper. Sumter is indeed fortunate in1 having a chamber of commerce that is alive to the interests of the city and county, and through this organization much of Sum ter's great progress can be at tributed. The business men of that city pull together and get results. IT IS ALRIGHT FOR THE OTHER FELLOW. ~It is reported that many of the prom inent citizens of Danville, Virginma, who recently helped to vote that city "drv" are now -seized with cold shivers" because the saloon-keepers threaten to make public a list of those persons who have been laying in liberal supplies of booze la anticipation of the inauguration of the "dry era." On this list are said to be names of many of those who voted for prohibition- But, after all, why should these individuals excite themselves? May not a man be -conscientiously in favor of prohibition for the other fellow?' Is not prohibition legislation enacted in favor of the com paratively few, who drink immoder ately, by the comparatively many, who do not? Is it not that we are our br-oth er's keeper?-The State. Ain't it the truth? Many who urge prohibition, argue that pro hibition -prevents the poor man from enjoying a luxury he can not afford, while they reserve to themselves the privilege of orderingwhiskey, drinking whis key, and in many cases sell whiskey on the sly to the poor man they profess to save from the luxury he cannot afford. How many good men and women are fooled by crafty hypocrites? A man who urges prohibition should by all means practice what be preaches. On the petition for a special election in this county on the liquor question. we are told there are many names that were put there by the party soliciting the signatures. and not by the party whose name appears on the paper. In some of these cases. beneath the name appears the initial letter of the mian that wrote the name, indicating he was authorized to sign. It is our opmnion everyone of those names will have to be stricken oif. There is only one legal way for on part sign the name of another, and that is by power of attorney. or by cross mark wit- s nessed. n The writer has never seen v these petitions, nor does he know ' when the matter will be taken d up for investigation, but if the county supervisor will permit a suggestion, we would suggest that whenever he gets ready to E go over these petitions he will invite to be present some man 0 who is for prohibition and one who is against it. that both sides will be enabled to see that the ti law with regard to these peti- t tiuois is faithfully carried out, N and we suggest further that the county supervisor will comimuni cate with the Attorney General i asking his opinion as to signa tures written by another person than the name represented. Can b William Jones write Thomas e Smith's name to a petition of R this character, and it be lawful. f although William Jones says h Thomas Smith authorized him a. to write his name? It the Attor- 0 S ney General decides such signa- 2 tures are illegal, the petition y falls of its own weight, if our in- T formation is correct. We are it told that fully one-third of the s names filed are not actually it signed by the parties whose tf names are represented, and also there are many duplications.

Among those pres- o ent was the writer. The dinner c was served in the old fashioned way. The ladies were untiring in their kind and generous hos pitality. While the party were seated on the ground eating, a kodak picture was taken, and the most conspicuous in the group are Mr. Archie Barron and Dr. I. M. Woods, both in candidate style pulling the meat from chicken bones. Messrs. Wilson McIntosh, Epps and others were very nice in their attentions to the guests. a Old Pope Moore was among the e dandiest of the sports flying c around the young girls, trying o to make them believe he is only 25 years old, and were it not for the cravat he wears given to himi t for a Christmas present by one r of his great-grand children he might palm himself off for a oung buck, and then too it is' reported he lost his teeth in the war and is trying to apply for a pension. What ails the candidates. none have so far appeared in your paer? Can it be they are ex peting to lay low and get on to the job by surprising folksy It is high time the people are to knowx who they will have a chance to vote for. It is reported there will be several candidates for the legislature, and it is to be hoped our next set will not come from the same community, as it is now two of the three members live at the same place, they should be scattered. Why not get one from the Fork this time, there is good material there. The Fork has at least one man in it, if he was sent to the legislature he would show the rest of the State somethiag about legisla tion. he can give us better roads, imppve the schools and put in improvements all round, and~ lower taxes at the same time. I hope he will be a candidate_ so we can have our representatives from different parts of the coun ty, and this is the sentiment at this picnic. VSTR Pinewood Pickups.
