A large auditorium for public meet?
ings is one of the greatest unfilled
needs of Sumter and the need will
Rrow greater with the increase of
population. The city board of educa?
tion has the opportunity to supply
this need, if the financial end of it
can be managed, by adding a third
etory to the proposed new girls' high
school building and making It into a
large auditorium with a seating ca?
pacity of at least one thousand.

The cotton market continues strong
afd futures have been advancing
Steadily On the basis of future quo?
tations October cotton should be
worth mors than ten cents, but It will
be a gsmble of the most hasardous
sort to plant a big crop with ths ex?
pectation of realising high prices. It
will pay to play safe on cotton this
year. A small acreage?one-third or
one-half of last year's and as good
yield as possible per acre is ths safe
proposition.
Mr. W. W. ix)ng, State Farm
Demonstration Agent, who is now
devoting a great deal of his attention
to the devleopment of the cattle
raising Industry, states that he in?
tends dividing the Stste into four
market dlsti ta for the sale of cattle,
the market to be aeessible and con?
veniently located in each district. ?Hin?
ter should be selected as one of the
four markets. This is a matter for the
Chamber of Commerce to keep track
of and see that 8umter's interests and
claims are properly presented to Mr.
Long. Sumter has the location and
railroad facilities, in the latter re?
spect especially, offering superior ad?
vantages over any other town east of

by Taking Nearly Half of Prizes.

and Manning Edens Wins Those in Athletics?Event Was
Successful in Every Respect and All Present Found Oc?
casion Enjoyable.
Sumter county's fifth annual Coun?
ty School Day was held Saturday In
this city with about five hundred
(school children and a large crowd of
their friends and relatives present
with them to participate in and share
with them the pleasure of the event.
The honors of the occasion were car?
ried off by Maycsvllle school, which
captured thirty-eight contests, and
second honors went to Concord, which
won seven prizes. Several other
schools tied for third place.
Flags will be given to the three
teacher, two-teacher and one-teacher
schools winning the greatest number
of prizes. The names of the one- and
two-teacher schools to be awarded
flag* will be announced later. Mayes

Mayeevllle school also won honors of
UM high and grammur school depart?
ments. Manning Edens of the Lee

curing four of the prizes in the con?
tests.
The day was a success. The weath
sr was fine and all present seemed to
enjoy the many events. There was
no confusion in the holding of the
contests and little during the day.
There was a slight delay In the award
lag of the prizes as many of the chil?
dren were not present when called |
and this hindered those In charge.
Several of these prizes have not yet
been delivered and are being held by
the County Superintendent of Educa?
tion until they are called for by the
proper persons, when they will be de?
livered.
