THE NEWS FROM SUMMERTON, Rains Aid Crops and Cheer Farmers ?New Gasoline Boat Launched on River at Wright's Bluff?School Closed After Successful Year?Park Purchased by A. F. M.?Silver School Closes?<Four Fined for Seining. k Summerton, May 26.?Good rains fell here Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, and cotton and corn are looking fine now. All the farmers have about straightened out their faces and washed off the blue, and are now expecting to make a big crop of cot? ton and get 15 cents for it and forty dollars for their seed, they say. Last Tuesday morning about C o'clock a wagon being drawn by four large farm mules, was seen passing through town loaded with an unus? ual looking apparatus which attract? ed the attention of tho early risers, and upon an investigation it was found to be Lydia No. 1, the beautiful and well-built gasoline launch of Mr. C. M. Davis. It was built by Mr. 8. W. Nelson, and is a real beauty from every standpoint. It cost about eight hundred dollars, and was being car? ried to Wrights Bluff to be dumped In to the river. Your correspondent with a number of other folks followed the crowd of the bluff. Reaching the bluff' a'hard rain began to fall, und at ere time it looked like the crowd would have to get In the river to keep from getting wet. But the rain soon passed over and you never heard a crowd I of politicians make any more sugges? tions as to how a thing should be done than this crowd made as to how "Ly? dia" uhould be dumped In the river. For about four hours almost every man's suggestion was tried out, and nothing doing. Finally Joe Davis who I almost lost a pair of rubber boots said he had to leave that place for Char? leston by the way of Capers Island on the Lydia No. 1 and he got every? body very busy and by almost an ac? cident the launching was made, and everybody began to say "I told you 180." Then your correspondent and a few others took a joy ride which was just I simply fine. About this , time the din? ner signal was heard and the crowd came out and drank coffee and ate corn bread not having had time to fish any but it has always been said that anything was good on Santee. and the bunch there Tuesday will testify to the facts. After dinner was over, Messrs. C. M. Davis, S. W. Nelson, J. E. Davis, F. R. Dingle, H. A. Rich bourg and E. K. Moore, with Pompey Lemon, the cook loft for Capers Is? land where they are going to spend a day or so and go on to Charleston on a business trip, leaving "Lydia" at Capers' Island where Messrs. C. M. and J. E. Davis own about four thou? sand acres of hunting and Ashing ground. About the time the crowd was leav? ing "Anne Elisabeth," of Columbia, passed, going from Georgetown to Columbia, seemed to be heavily loaded and your correspondent asked the captain what he was hauling and he said "something good to eat." The closing exercises of the Sura merton graded school were held last Friday night. A very able address was delivered by the Hon. Charlton DuRant. This has been a very suc? cessful year for the school. It is not known whether or not the teachers have been elected for the session of 1916-1917. The membership of the Summer ton Lodge No. 105, A.
