Quite a Number of Merchants Are Willing to Close Their Stores. A number of merchants have said to the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce that they are perfectly willing to close their stores on Labor Day in order to give their employees an opportunity to go to Florence. All that is required is for some interested party to circulate a paper for the ? signing of an agreement for all to ? close. One merchant said that he thought Sumter would do itself good j by closing up on Labor Day .and go I ingto ^Florence, as it will be not only a good advertisement for Sumter to show that che is desirous of assisting her sister towns in celebrating La? bor Day but that the action will make friends for Sumter. Who-will circu? late the paper for an agreement to close the stores? ? DILLON' WANTS NEW COUXTY. The Attempt to Divide Marion Coun? ty to Be Renewed. Dillon, August 27.-The people of upper Marion county are greatly en? couraged over the new county pros? pect. Mr. T. A. Dillon, mayor of the town of Dillon, which is to be the county seat, said that if no un? foreseen difficulties arise the election will be held the latter part of Xo vember, and there is every- promise of j success. Mr. Dillon is one of the ; moving spirits of the campaign. The j firm of J. W. Dillon & Son is advanc mg the money for the surveys and other incidental expenses, and both ? the father and son are doing all they can for the new county. In the last survey of the area it ' is _ proposed to incorporate in the new county, --nade by Mr. JVT. Ward- j law, of Darlington, it appears that j Seilers and Latta are not included. ! Mr. Wardlaw has* completed his j work and reported the results to the i new jounty committee. Sellers is out j because that town e#mes within the^, eight mile limit from the Marion county ^.ourt house. But there is an entirely different reason why the growing town of Lat- ' ta has been left out in the cold. It j seems tmat a great majority of the ? people of Latta are satisfied to re-, j main in the old county of Marion, and they so expressed themselves at the election held on the new county question in 1902. The Latta vote vir- ! tually killed the new county. Since j that time sentiment has not changed; '! if anything the opposition to the new j county is stronger than it ever was, and the new county faction decided j to remove this obstacle by cutting Latta out of their territory. . In running the lines the surveyor has produced a situation that will | make a very funny appearance on the map. However, it was an ingenious scheme to get out of trouble. The town of Latta was circled, the radius being e. half mile. A strip of land. 100 feet wide, connects the town with J Marion county. A public road, the state line from Reedy creek to Ma? rion court house runs along this strip. Thus it is that while Latta owes her J allegiance to the oldi county, she lies j completely within the territory of the j proposed new county. Latta will ! make a strange looking spot on the j map. May His^Tribe Increase. All honor to Governor Hey ward! He has repeatedly demonstrated his superior fitness for the exalted posi tion which he occupies. May the gov I ernor soon to be chosen be of the j Heyward stripe.-Edgefield Advertis? er. Revenue officers arrested two j blockaders and confiscated a large ' still in the Riverside section of ! Greenville county. jThe men were . caught in the act and|xfter rne usual ; preliminary examinations before a i t . United States commissioner were j - -. f ! bound ever fer trial. If tbs1 rainy spell is ever broken cot? ton picking will login, but it will be soon over for unfortunately for this section there is not much cotton to pick this 3'ettr, compared with last year and the year before. Grand Chancellor Morgan has writ? ten tc Game Cock Lodge, No. 17, K. of P., complimenting it upon being the banner lodge of the State by more than 20 members. This speaks well for the organization here when one considers the number of large orders in this State. Up to last year the Game Cock Lodge was ahead of the other K. of P. lodges, but Charleston then had the lead by four members. Now Sumter has gotten ahead and is going to stay ahead. Great interest is being manifested in this organiza? tion and the membership is rapidly increasing. \.v i t'-:\ Saving ortunity aaaaasaaaaaaaasaasaaa Would you like to get a good Suit of Clothes, Pair of Trousers, Suit for the Boy, a New Hat or anything in the Toggery line, and to buy it for much less than it's worth ?
