Progress of the Fall Festival.
The first meeting of the general com?
mittee of the Fail Festival was held
in the office of Maj. H. Frank
Wilson at 5 o'clock Monday after?
noon with all members, save two, pre?
sent The meeting was business like,
but enthusiastic and the work to be
done was carefully mapped out and
discussed. Provisional appropria?
tions were made for each feature of
the programma so as to give the chair?
man of the various sub-committees
a basis upon which to work. A fi?
nance committee was appointed to
complete the canvass of the city for
subscriptions and this committee
began work yesterday afternoon. There
will be no turning back now, and all the
money needed will be raised promptly.
The subscription list will be publish?
ed within a day or two, and additional
subscriptions will be published from
day to day tbereatfer as they are
made.,
Each sub-committee will have
charge of a particular feature of the
festival and the work will be prose?
cuted systematically from now onward.
The people of Sumter can rest as?
sured that the Sumter Fall Festival
will be a success, au entertainment to
be proud of, and that will attract at?
tention throughout the State, if hard
work and enthusiasm on he part of
the committee can accomplish that
result. _
Sumter is the cotton market of this
section of the State. Thursday the
local buyers paid lO^alO.55 on the
streets, but one buyer bought a lot of
cotton in the afternoon from a boyer
in a neighboring city for 10 3-16.
Every farmer who comes to town
complains of the inability to secure a
sufficient number of cotton pickers to
gather the crop. The fields are white
with cotton and employment could be
given three or four times as many
hands as are available. Nevertheless
the cotton is being gathered so rapid?
ly that the gins are crowded all the
time. There is no doubt about there
being a fairly good crop in Sumter
county this year, and it is all opening
at once.
The A. C. L. freight office is having
trouble to secure a sufficient force of
laborers to handle the freight and there
is much complaint that freight is not
delivered promptly.
The Woman's Home and Foreign
Missionary Society of the Lutheran
church .began their "week of
prayer" Tuesday evening with an ap?
propriate address by Rev. R. Herbert
Jones, pa8torof the First Methodist
church. His subject was "Con?
secration."
The Recorder had a crowd of drunks
and disorderlies before him today.
Some of them were old stagers, others
were accidental drunks, so they claim?
ed, and one white man from another
place, was an unfortunate who had
fallen from a repectahle station in life
to that of a common drunkard.
Read the advertisements in this pa?
per if you wish to keep posted on
business nws. There are a number of
new ones today.
Can you picture a big store from
a small advertisement? Does the one
ever suggest the other? Do your
store's advertisements give the reader
an adequate idea of your store's im?
portance^-or of its size?

the most attractive, and Shoes always reliable.
We control the Rough-Not Costume cloth in
