Mr. G. B. Adams of Columbia, who
has several times been mentioned in
The County Record as being in Kingstree
with a view to acquiring an ini
terest in the Kingstree Electric Light
and Ice plant, has recently, we
understand, consumaied a deal with
the directors of this corporation
where!.y he becomes a stockholder and
| manager of the plant. Mr. Adams
arrived here late last week and has
taken charge of the operating end
of the business. It is his expressed
desire to give the town and users of
current :nd ice the best possible service
at a lower rate than we have been
paying. It may be some little time
before this can be done, but he says
he is working with that end in view.
We hope that the business people of
Kingstree will give Mr. Adams their
hearty cooperation by using current,
those who are not already equipped
with it, so that the plant may be
c perated more profitably to the owners
and a little more satisfactorily
to the patrons than has been the case
in the past. Mrs. Adams will join
her husband here soon and they will
make Kingstree their home.
Episcopal Services at Summerton.
The Episcopal services of Holy
Week and Easter of 1922 wore of unusual
interest being the last services
by their present rector, the Rov. W.
M. Walton. The solemn service of
the Fast of the Crucifixion on Friday
was attended by a congregation larger
than the number who usually attend
the Lenten services.
Easter morning was the first Easter
service held in the beautiful new
church with the grand pipe organ.
The organist, Mrs. L. E. Brailsford,
is rapidly attaining a mastery of this
instrument. The wealth of beautiful
flowers, the inspring music of the
special choir, accompanied by the new
organ, will long be remembered.
The recto, did net proach a sermon
of the usual farewell typo. His text
indicated an Easter Theme: "Who
Shall Roll Away The Stone." The
offertory sting by Mr. R. C. Richardsen
as soloist, "Thy Will Be Done,"
was excellently rendered.
The service closed with the hymn,
"In the Sweet Bye and Bye." The
lest four lir.es were sung by one of
the little boys as a soio and were
peculiarly touching as indicating the
close bond existing between the rector
and the children of Sur.uncrton.?
Manning Tines.
(The Rev. Mr. Walton is very pleasantly
known in Kingstree and his departure
from Sumrrerion will be
learned with regret.)?Editor.

Governor Issues Proclamation.
Columbia, April 17.?Governor
Cooper today issued a proclamation
setting aside Tuesday, April 25 as
"Cooperation Day" in South Carolina
rnd calling upon the business of the
state to assist that day in the campaign
to secure signatures to the cotton
cooperative marketing contract.
effort will be made to have
every merchant and business man in
South Carolina close up his place of
business on that day and go out with
committees of farmers and canvass
for contracts.
The proclamation issued by the
governor follows:
Whereas, South Carolina is essentially
an agricultural state, depending
ir large measure for her prosperity
mntoripl nm<rrP<5S on the Culti
vation and selling of cotton, and
Whereas, the growers of cotton in
our state have for many years followed
a wasteful, hazardous and unbusinesslike
method of selling their
product, which method has resulted
in the loss of thousands of dollars
and the consequent impoverishment of
our people, the establishment of low
standards of living in hundreds of
our homes, and in poorly equipped
schools, and
Whereas, Leading farmers and business
men of our state have under way
a movement looking to the orderly
and efficient marketing of our chief
money crop and the improvement of
our financial conditions, and
Whereas, The success of this movement
depends upon the wholehearted
cooperation of all of our people.
There, I, Robert A. Cooper, governor
of the State of South Carolina
do hereby call upon all the business
men of our state to devote on day,
April 25, to assisting in every way
possible in securing the signatures of
cotton growers to the cooperative marketing
contracts, believing that such
a system of selling will be of great
benefit to our producers and indirectly
to all of our people.
