Mrs. Edward Met'a Ii um Entertains.
On last Friday evening, Mrs. E. W.
McCallum threw open the doors of
her pretty home on Broad street in
honor of her sister, Miss LiHian Wil?
son of St Charles. There were about
twenty invited guests, and upon the
arrival of these the. home presented
a lively appearance indeed.
The young folks made m^rry for
sometime and about ten o'clock were
ushered into the diulng room, where
an elegant supper awaited them.
Time flew too quickly and "good
night" soon had to be said. All en
poyed the hospitality of Mrs. Mc?
Callum, for she had shown herself
to be an ideal hostess.
The guests present were: Misses
Lenora Williford, Margurite McLeod.
Jennie Chandler, Margaret Bryan,
Iva Belle Hughson, Mable Handle.
Lillian Wilson and Mrs. D. R. Mc?
Callum, Jr. and Messrs. Henry Moses,
"Billy" C:owson, G. C. Warren, J.
Arms Bryan, L. C. Bryan. S. M. Mc?

trial Trip.
IThe industrial trip foi -.ex; May
is an assured fact Already fifty
J two men have given in their names
as intending making this trip. This
I list will be published within the next
few days. It is not too early to lay
; your plans to take the trip and to
send in your name. This trip will be
an event and It Is certain that the
story of it will go down in the history
of the city. It is also certain that
Sumter will secure more real publicity
out of it than can be estimated.
At the same time, while there will
be plenty of pleasure, places and in?
dustries will be visited and studied
that will more than pay the cost to
any man going.

"Observer" made some pertinent
remarks on the need of an Agricul?
tural and Industrial Fair for this
county. If we have ever felt the need
for the encouragement of diversi?
fied farming, we certainly feel the
need now. Now Is the time to be up
and doing. A fair of the kind plan?
ned for will mean a great deal for
this county. The best of it Is that the
cost of such a fair need not be great.

The picture* taken by Mr. Winhurn
in the last few days show Sumter in
a very favorable light. The street
views are fine, especially those of the
residence streets which show the fine
trees of Sumter. Most of the book?
lets published by the Chamber of
Commerce throughout the country
give considerable space to their resi?
dential streets. Few of them, if any,
can show as fine trees as can Sumter.
It is true that many of these trees
need care and immediate attention.
They are the pride and should be
made the special oare of every citi?
zen.
Many of these pictures are to be
sent north to be placed on slides and
will be shown with the moving pic?
tures on the 19th and 20th.

Sometimes when things look a lit?
tle blue it is well to take stock.
Things may not look so blue after all,
even if cotton is down. There is a
lot of good in verything and there
may be in the present cotton situation,
especially if it will caiise more di?
versification and if the citizens of
Sumter county will use proper meas?
ures to make this diversification per?
manent
Sumter has accomplished a great
deal in the last year. Every citizen
should be proud of the present con?
dition of Main street with its new
pavement. There has been wonder?
ful improvement in the cleanPig of
this pavement too in the last few
weeks. Sumter leads nearly every
city In the State in new incorporations
and new capital invested and posi?
tively leads per inhabitant. The to?
tal amount Invested in this way and
in new buildings and Improvements
will touch the million mark. Add ?to
this the new capital that will be ex?
pended with the coming of the
Seaboard and the $75,000 to be ex?
pended on the new gas plant and
Sumter is able to do some self con?
gratulation. The present temporary
depression is, after all, only tem?
porary, while the actual results that
have been accomplished this year
are permanent. The depression will
soon be forgotten while the accom?
plishments will live and grow to the
benefit of Sumter as the years go on.
These accomplishments should not,
however, cause us to stand still. Nor
should the present temporary depres?
sion. Rather they should cause every
loyal citizen of Sumter to work might
and main, shoulder to shoulder, with
his fellow townsmen for the build?
ing of a greater and a better city.
