WANTS CO-OPERATION OF
CLARENDON COUNTY
Sumter, S. C., Oct. 9, 1922.
The Honorable-The Mayor and City
Council,
Manning, S. C.
Gentlemen:
I am writing your honorable body
as the duly elected and authorized
leaders of your enterprising city in
the hope that this letter will be dis
cussed in your Council meeting, and
that you gentlemen will take this mat
ter up with your city board of educa
tion or board of trustees, of the Man
ning Graded and High School, and
with the ladies and gentlemen of
Manning.
On Sumter County School Day, Fri
day, November 24th, of the Sumter
County Fair, November 21st, 22nd,
23rd and 24th, 1922, we are putting
on a mammoth spectacular pageant of
programs parade of city and rural
schools-many commercial fleets and
hundreds of decorated cars, and other
features. Sumter wants Clarendon
County td join with Sumter County in
this big educational advancement, bet
ter acquaintance, and co-operative en
deatvor between city, town, and rural
.. .ricts.
Why not get your citizens together
and arrange a special Manning or
Clarendon County division of this
pageant of programs ? We want as
many Clarendon county schools
rural schools, city and town schools,
floats, decorated cars, business houses,
etc., as will kindly come in with us.
Manning could pull off a splendid
>ublicity stunt-and Clarendon Coun
ty would also be benefitted as much
as Sumter and Sumter County. Your
big Manning school could easily make
several bea.:tiful floats of big trucks,
and have the floats loaded with beau
tiful Manning and Clarendon County
women and girls-you have plenty of
both of these there, I know that full
well. Then you could, if you don't
care to bring the entire school, have
four or five of the larger boys and
girls of the higher grades to march
with Sumter and Sumter county
pupils and teachers. We would like
1 GlIB1

Th D. IJ
every teacher and every pupil in Man
ning and Clarendon county to be with
us in this parade. Hundreds of Clar
endon car owners could decorate their
cars-either elaborately or in modi
fied form just as they please-or they
can put their cars in without any de
corations at all if they care to just as
they prefer.
Last year on County School Day
we had nearly five thousand pupils,
teachers, and others in our 1922 page
nt of Progress Parade. We invited
Clarendon and other adjoining coun
ties then to join with us. I am Lend
copy of this letter to County Superin
tendent of Education of . Clarendon
County for his information and con
sideration. But Manning, the county
seat, should take the lead and then
your rural schools would likely follow
the leads of the, county seat. Please
let us hear from you.
Yours truly,
E. I. REARDON,
Manager-Secretary.

ENTERTINMENT
On last Friday afternoon, Miss Ger
trude DuRant entertained at her home
"Victory Plains," in honor of her
neice, Miss Mary Elizabeth Dickson,
a bride-elect.
The whole of the lower floor was
thrown open to the guests and was
tastefully decorated with cut flowers,
pot plants and Southern Smilax. In
the receiving line were Mrs. Wi. E.
Daniels, Mrs. R. R. DuRant, Mrs. Mc
Kay Shaw and Mrs. R. Early Thomp
son. The guests were invited into
the spacious hall where delightful
punch was served. Misses Lois
Thompson and Ruth DuRant very
dainty presided at the bowl.
The ladies were then taken into the
parlor where Mrs. Reaves distributed
the letters, in the names Mary Dick
son and Walter High, which had been
cut in two, for the ladies to match in
order to find partners for a contest.
The contest which was the "Marriage
of Flowers" proved highly entertain
ing. As there were several ties it
was unanimously voted to give the
prize a beautiful cut glass vase, to
Miss Dickson. Mrs. Reaves present
ed it in her usual pleasing and grace
ful manner and held it up over her
head,. while Miss Dickson showed her
determination to appropriate every
thing "high" by reaching up and get
ting it.
The bride was then given a string
and told that, as she would need wrap
ping cord when she went to house
keeping, to wind it up. This led her
through the piazza, the hall, the par
lor and into the sitting room where a
commodious lint was spread, and
where Mrs. Garland had placed the
many and numerous gifts. All were
then taken to the back porch whei'r
cake and coffee were served. This
old home has recently passed its 90th
