"1 wlnh to call to your attention the
wisdom of carrying ss small a stocl.
as possible from now on. I beg to
remind you that In September this
State will vote on the question of
State-wide prohibition. If 8tatc-wlde
prohibition does not carry, and the
present situation Is unchanged, It will
?S3 no trouble to you to put In as large
at stock as you need. If, on the oth?
er hand. State-wid , prohibition does
carry and the dispensaries are order?
ed closed, you will have a small stock
to dlspoae of and. therefore, can dis?
pose of it to the best financial advan?
tage to your county. If you have on
hand at that tlmo a large stock it
>*lll probably mean a closing out at a
loas to the county, and I do not hnvo
to remind you that our communities,
on account of the shrinkage In values
and the stew payment of taxes, caused
by the extraordinary conditions of this
year, need all of the revenue that they
can have* This Is written In the In?
terest of your taxpayers and com?
mands your attention. I hope that
you will give this subject earnest con?
sideration, and see this matter in this

Ton* rrow.
The second annual visit of Redpath
Chautauqua gave its opening perform?
ance on Wednesday afternoon to a
large and enthusiastic audience and
Wednesday night the big tent was
well lllled with the crowd, who for the
second time heard the delightful per?
formance of the Music Makers Quar?
tette and the excellent lecture by Mr.
Sylvester A. Long, Both performances
indicate that Chautauqua this year
will he even more successful from ev?
ery point of view than last year, when
all who attended pronounced it a
great success.
The exercises were opened on Wed?
nesday afternoon with prayer by the
Itev. W. E. Thayer of the First Bap?
tist Church, after which Supt. S .H.
Edmunds, as chairman of the board
of directors of the Young Men's Chris?
tian Association, which organization
secured the Chautauqua for Sumter,
made the announcement that it was
hoped that Chautauqua would be
sccessful as a means of uplift in Sum?
ter, as it was intended to be. He then
introduced Mr. John F. Chambers,
the superintendent of the Chautauqua
to the audience.
Mr. Chambers announced that tele?
phone service would be made with the
grounds and requested that persons
expecting any calls during the per?
formances register and secure a num?
ber, so that when that number was
displayed they would know that they
were wanted and could leave the aud?
ience without any confusion. He
stated that no announcements would
be made from the platform during the
performances. Before retiring. Mr.
Chambers presented Mr. Sylvester A.
Ixmg, the lecturer of the evening. Mr.
Long made a very brief talk, telling
of the various numbers on the Chau?
tauqua progrum and praising the nu?
merous lecturers and other perform?
ers. He asked the consideration of
the audience for the performers, as
the attractions were all considered
good, or they would not have been
placed or ihe program, no matter
whit the 'pinion ol au> Individual
might be, for i ? s.-n-- did not all j
think alike and that an ottering which,
the attendant might think poorest
might be the one which would do him
the greatest good.
The Music Makers Quartette held
the undivided attention and pleased
the audience for the next hour. The
quartette offerings were of a high or?
der and the encores after every selec?
tion Indicated the delight of the aud?
ience. The music on the Marimba
phone seemed especially to please, and
again and again the performers were'
called on. The solos also proved ex?
ceedingly popular and the individual
singers were encored as heartily as
was the full quartette. The selections
covered a wide variety of subjects,
comic numbers being interspersed
among tho moro serious songs, all
making palpable hits. Afternoon and
evening the performance of the quar?
tette was heard With delight by large
audiences.
Mr. Sylvester A. Bong dealt with
the humorous, tho comical, the path?
etic and ambitious sides of life last
night In his delightful lecture "Hun?
gry People." libs main theme was
upbuilding through earnest Striving
for the better things of life, which our
natures desire. "There is an unsatis?
fied longing in every man or woman
for something," the speaker said, "an
ideal w hich is higher and better than
that we have.''
Mr. Long's illustrations were apt
and witty and he kept his audience in
an excellent humor throughout his
lecturo of more than an hour. Im?
proved himself a most entertaining
peakor and a man lull of the knowl?
edge Of the sunshine and the shadows)

throughout the lecture and Its close.

Newherry, April 21.?The second
day's sessions of the South Carolina
Interdenominational .Sunday School
association were tilled with interesting
services and addresses by experts in
the good work the workers assembled
here are studying.
The fact that Gov. Manning wan
willing to add to his heavy burden of
official duty by coming here to ad?
dress the State Sunday school con?
vention and his emphatic, whole
souled indorsement and commenda?
tion of Sunday school work made a
profound impression upon all his
hearers.
Tho work of the day was introduced
by a service of song at 10 o'clock, un?
der the leadership of Mr. Ixnvdcn, and
morning worship, led by the Rev.
F. E. Dibble of the Methodist church.

tion" was discussed by Dr. W. A.
Brown of Chicago.
Groctings were brought to the con?
vention by representatives interested
in its work.

Education" was the theme of an ad?
dress by the Rev. E. G. Carson of
Charleston.

from the executive committee," in
which he gave a lucid account of the
worK projected and carried forward
by the committee.

ties'and brief reports of the conditions
in each county.

] in. was aOsont.
J, T. Fain rep tied that York coun?
ty iia.d recently held ti record break
ing convention which was attended
by 175 delegates.
L. M. Lanford affirmed that the
best way to get delegates for a town?
ship, convention is to go after them,
and not depend upon written invita?
tions. All agreed that the most del?
icate question which Sunday school
work has to face is the financial
Issue.
S. F. Cannon told something of the
work in Spartanburg and the methods
which produced the success which
that county has achieved.

and gave hearty applause. The gov?
ernor's theme was "The Sunday
I School and Good Cltlsenshlp."
"The State administration Is hearti?
ly in favor of the work which you arc
I doing," said the governor. "As a boy
I was, by circumstances, denied the
privilege of attending a Sunday school
such as you foster, but my Sunday
school was at my sainted mother's
knee."
Obv. Manning referred lo the differ?
ence iu environment between this oc?
casion and the last time he had ad?
dressed a Newberry audience. "This."
said he, "is so much more pacific."
? it warms my heari to see this great
gathering of workers from all parts
of our State, whose purpose is to car?
ry forward this Sunday school move?
ment. The importance of the Hun
day school can not he overestimated.
! wish to bid you godspeed in the
irreal work which you are doing."

ing message of hope for the next year,
that it may he a brighter and better
year.
