Mass Meeting Notes.
The big mass meeting to be held
July 2nd, at 11 o'clock, at the court
house should be attended by every
farmer and business man and every
progressive woman in Sumter coun?
ty who can possibly get there. This
meeting will decide whether Sumter
county is to have a county fair asso?
ciation or not.
About two thousand postal cards
have been rushed out inviting citizens
of Sumter city and county t<? attend
the county fair association meeting.
It may b that "you" did not receive
a card. But remember "you" are
invited and everybody who wants to
help in pushing Sumter county to the
front ranks of progress among the
leading progressive counties ot .-outh
Carolina.
It is of course not feasible to secure
the name of every man in Sumter
county, but your individual respon?
sibility L not in the least decreased
by not receiving a postal card because
If you are a "live wire" "you" will
bo there any how.

PEOPLE OF si MTi:it TO HAVE
OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON
DISPENSARY ISSUE.
Supervisor's Work on Petition and
Registration Rooki Reveals Pud
Thai More Than a Third of Quali?
fied Voters Had Signed Petition for
an Election*
Supervisor Pitta Stated Tuesday af
ternoon that in- would order an elec?
tion on the dispensary, to be held on
the third Tuesday in August. After
going over the names on the dispen
aary petition, the regfatratlon hooka
and comparing them with the county
treasurer's execution books it was
found that mote than one-third of
i
the Qualified voteri of the county had
signed the petition and there was
nothing left then for the supervisor to
do but order the election.
For the past three weeks Super?
ior Pitts and Mr. R, Ii. McLeod have
been working On the petition, the reg
Istration books and the county treas?
urer's execution hooks and have had
I
hardly any time for anything else.
They have been busy, probably the
hardest part of their duty being in
answering the thousand and one
questions which the prohibitionists*, j
dispensaryites and persons just out
of curiosity had to ask concerning
what the supervisor was (hung in
Connection with the matter and what
he would do in future. It is safe to
say that the course taken by Super?
visor Pitts, while it might not meet
the approbation of all the most ar?
dent workers on either side, is as fair
a one as could have been devised.
His idea was to find out whether
one-third of the qualified voters of
the county had signed the petition and
he found out that they had. He first
took the petition and carefully com?
pared it with the registration books,
removing all names which were not
to be found on the registration books,
as only Qualified voters were wanted.
i
He then went over the list and com- ,
pared it with the names of those
registered voters who had not paid
their poll taxes before the fifteenth of
March, eliminating till names of
those who had not paid their poll
tax fix months before the time of
the election. Next he went over tho
registration books, removing alll
names'of those who were known to be
dead or moved away from the coun?
ty. The registration books were then,
compared with the poll tax executions,
of the county treasurer and the
names Of those non-signers of thO*|
dispensary petition who had not paid
their poll taxes six months before the
date of the proposed election were ell 1
initiated. Before this task was com- .
pleted It was found that more than a
third of'the Qualified voters of the
county had signed the petition and!,
Supervisor Pitta left off his compari?
sons and eliminations.
I
There were loft on the dispensary
petition' f03 names. The names of
the fifty persons who had signed the
dispensary and anti-dispensary peti?
tions were removed from the dispen?
sary petition, When Supervisor Pitts
hft off bis work of comparison of
the tax execution books and the reg?
istration books, with six townships
Still to be compared, he had left '-'M*'>
names of qualified voters on the reg?
istration books. Of course this num?
ber would be considerably reduced if
the comparison was continued to the I
end. However, this final comparison
w;ts not necessary and Supervisor
Pitta did not think it any use to go
further than to find <?ut for B cer?
tainty that more than a third of the
qualified voters had signed the peti?
tion asking for an election on the dis?
pensary question, of whether or not
Sumter County should reestablish the
dispensary.
The decision to order an election
will no doubt be the signal for the j
commencement of one of the hottest
campaigns ever held in this county
between the I u'ohibit ion ist s and the
anti-prohibitionists. The election will
be on the third Tuesday in August
and it is probable that the hot weath?
er will be made even more hot by
the ringing campaign speeches and the
earnest liubt which will be put up.

sorry that we haven't enough money
in the treasury to defray the expanses
Of the hoys and girls on this trip; but
as we go and return on the same day
the expense for each individual will
in- very little, i will take- charge of
the hoys in Sumter and personally
look after them until they return in
the afternono and Miss Lcmmon will
do tin- same for her girls. If Dr.
Haynsworth can get off, he will make
the trip with us. \
