Interest in the Darlington Fourth j of Jalv Celebration, and particularly j the automobile races is looking np in I Sumter. An effort is heing a ada to get as many automobilists as possible to ?o from Sumter to participate in the races. Efforts aie also being made to induce the Atlantic Coast Line Com oany to run a. special train from Sum? ter leaving heie at 7 o'clock a. m , ; and retorniDg, leave Darlington at 7 j o'clock in the evening. ' Mayor C. S. ; McCullough, of Darlington bas writ- j tue to Mtssre. W. W. McKagen and E. j I. Reardon asking tbem to try and get as big a crowd as posible, and the Second Regiment Brass Band and Or? chestra to go over from Sumter on that day. There will be a horse and cattle show, automobile races, bicycles race, bsae bali, and other attraction? on that day. Darlington helped Sumter out during oar recent very successful fall festival and live stock sbow by send? ing large crowds, and also by many entries in the live stock show. Sum? ter people should return the compli? ment by sennding as many people as possible to Darlington. If the Second Reg.ment Band and Orchestria can possibly make arrangemeunst to go over, and if a good many automobiles are taken over, backed by a large crowd from Sumter it will be a good adver? tisement for Sumter, and it will show the good people of Darlington, and other places that Sumter has net for? gotten the support the entire State gave ?nmt?r when we entertained forty thousand people here on last Thanksgiving Day, fed, housed and en- j te rt ai ned them and sent them all home i wei1! pleased and happy.
