GAME COCK DAY k SUCCESS. SOLDIER BOYS FIND MUCH PLEASURE IN I?NJOYMENT OF GOOD THINGS 8ENT THEM. Jitney Filled with Boies Receives Warm Welcome at Camp Moore and Young Men Quickly Vanquish Eat? ables?Visitors to Gasap Find Com? pany Ii tn Good Health and Enjoy toff Cttay at Styx--Visits of Ladies Espeeially Appreciated. Game Cock City day at Styx, Camp Moore, was a complete and happy event all the way through, according to Secretary Reardon of the Chamber of Commerce, who went along with numbers of Sumter ladles and gentle? men to see "Our Game Cock Boys" yeeterday. N The Jitney bus, prettily decorated In red, white end blue bunting and flags, numbers of Sumter pennants, made a record breaking run all the way to Styx without mishap. Messers M. W. Shelley, E. I. Reardcn and Dr. J. B. Watson, of Watson's Pharmacy fol? lowed the Jitney sbov.t thirty minutes behind as sn emergency csr, but the Jitney made fast time and ths escort car did not catch it until Columbia was reached. Thsv automobile then led Into Styx and saa ^HOe old Ford kept a roll In' along," as was said of the Jitney bus, and turned up nrsY at' ths Sumter Light Infantry street. Immediately about one hundred and ten husky, happy, sunburned and hungry Sumter soldiers from every company In the camp came In double quick step order and surroundsd ths committee and the "feed wagon from horns" as the boys called, (ths feed wagon mostly > and the "8. U I." gave, ths "feed committee" u royal welcome and handshakes. Major Bradford, Captain Brown, Sergeant Major Perry Brown and oth? er officers lined the company up to receive the boxes. But it was hard work keeping the soldiers In Una. as they wo-ild sneak ovsr to look in the Jltnajr Jsjha a lot of children looking for psassstts from Santa Claus. Keenr-wow and then you could hoar a corporal holler out " gel back In lire there you men" or a commissioned cmcer would yell out "why can't you make thoee men stand In Uns," stc. Ths Sumter boys from Charleston companies and other commands had been notified to be "on hand" aad they came with a rush. As "Led" Reld from the band remarked, "the colonel aad other officers didn't want ?a Hot or a mutiny, so they allowed the Bjniuler boys, wheresoever dis-1 parted, to get there in a harry" O s?o how Sumter grub from home i cd." There **s enoush to eat to (sad -50 men and the Sumter company was then msrohsd around ths Jitney hold? ing up their boxes and waving their hats snd "Johnny on the Spot" (Blanchard) of Columbia took a mov? ing picture of the company, the fit? i ey and a number of Sumter ladies and gentlsmen. Mayor v Jennings, Councilman C. G. Rowland and others 't alking around with the boys. "Silent picturos," as Johnny on the ftpot called them, w ten also/ for Ihe State of Columbia. About IS happy Sumter soldiers ?oon a/ere seen sitting on the ground In tha hot sun.in Company L street eattag their boxes," as they said, v hen Mr. Blanchard had another Moving picture of them with Mayor Jennings In ths center snd other Sum tar men. Also another "silent pic? ture" of this group for ths State. The Sumter boys requested the committee to express their heatry ap t isolation of the thoughtfulness of the ladlee of 8umter. Certainly the Cime Cock boys were mode very hippy and they couldn't say enougi to show their appreciation. A number of the Sumter boyis came to Columbia In the Jitney and oi hers in the committee automobile. Dr. Watson gave some of the boys n nie ?round Columbia in his car which carried the "feed committee" to Styx. Col. Springs of the Second regiment w.is visited by a number of Sumter vlidtors snd he expressed his thanks to the people of Sumter (the ladles par? ticularly) for thinking of the Sum? ter company. Col. Springs said that Sumter county has a Just right to feel mighty proud of the Sumter boys who are loyal, patriotic, well behaved and gentlemanly soldiers. He feels proud of them too. The Sumter company ate their lunches in groups of ten in their tents with friends and relatives from home, who went over for the day. Among those who went from Sum? ter were Mayor L. D. Jennings, Coun? cilman C. O. Rowland, Supervisor P. M. Pitts and the Misses Pitts, Mr. J. H. Chandler, Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Allem, and Miss Koenecke, Mrs B. M. Poattet and Miss Nettie Powell, Har? riet, estd little "Major J. W. Brad? ford, Jr.," Mr. and Mrs. Joel Ben bow, M. W. Shelly, Dr. J. B. Watson. Mr. T. H Clarke, Mr Hal Clarke, Miss Etsher Clarke, Miss Frances Smith, MIhh 4'athryn Itcnrdon It was * picnic day for the Sumter boys In fact. The Boston Candy Kitchen treat of a large box of fru:ta and two big boxes of candy made the boys feel good, and they sent their love to "Harry" Metro pole along with lots of love to the Sumter ladles. The Sumter boys also appreciated the courtesy extended by Cush C. Moore the Jitney bus line owner, who sent his Jitney along at practically cost of operation in honor of the Sumter boys, saying he wanted to make no piofit on the trip. The prettily decorated Jitney bus at? tracted much attention In Columbia and Camden where short stops were made and along the road to the Styx all the way from Sumter. At Camp Moore there were hundreds of sol? diers looking at the "Game Cock City" feed wagon from home as it was call? ed. The officers of Company L sent an official message of thanks to the ladles of Sumter. Major Bradford and Capt. Brown said they could not properly express their gratitude in behalf of themselves and their brother soldiers. Capt. Warren of the commissary de? partment admitted that the "home rations" prepared by Sumter ladies had regulation rations beat a city block with several store lengths to spare, according to the verdict rend? ered by the Sumter soldiers. There was not a man in the Second regiment company hospital yesterday. No Sumter man had reported sick yesterday anyhow. The Sumter visitors were shown through the kitchen, tents, and com? missary departments and a close In? spection was made and a satisfactory verdict rendered of cleanliness and healthfulness. One soldier remarked that there are no mosquitoes, few flies, none in the kitchen, and he said: "If we didn't have to work, we would be happy, if we could get a Sumter Jitney bus full of home grub about once a week, and If more of Sumter's beautiful girls would Just come to Camp Moore offen? er and not have anything to say to the soldiers of other companies than the "S. L. I." of Sumter. This soldier wants a rule adopted stopping the Sumter girls and all Sum? ter ladles from looking at, smiling at, or talking to any other than Sumter boys at Camp Moore, because as he said "these Sumter girls have very little time here anyway, and they should not waste time talking to any? body but Sumter boys anyhow when they do get here." So Gamecock City day proved pleas? ant 'all around without a mishap of any kind. The Ladies' Auxiliary to the Game Cock Boys have every rea? son to feel proud and as happy as they made the Game Cock boys by their thoughtfulncss ond remem? brances in _uch a substantial manner. Seasonable Bargains. The Sumter Dry Goods Co., are quoting some extraordinary prices on Palm Beach, silk and serge suits, be? ginning with the appearance of their large ad of this issue.?Advt. "Twilight Sleep" Has Competitor. "Twilight sleep," it Is declared, will be superseded by the use of ni? trous oxldoxogen gas to make child? birth painless. The latter gas. the new use of which was discovered by Dr. (Carl Henry Davis, In Rush Medi? cal college. Is practically harmless, while "Twilight sleep" Is regarded by American doctors as being extremely dangerous to the patient. Nitrous gas, according to Doctor Davis, deadens all pain, but allows freedom of thought and action. A patient under its influence can fol? low instructions, and it need be in? haled only In small quantities and at Infrequent Intervals to be successful. A Liberal Proposition! Any lady who is contemplating a summer trip can secure a suitable coat suit in silk or serge at the Sumter Dry Goods Co. for Just half price, or If you prefer, select any Palm Beach or Cool Cloth suit for $5.00. Isn't that liberal??Advt. It Is a peculiar thing about railway companies' arguments: when an ad? vance in railway rates are under dis? cussion, the roads can produce the most astounding figures to prove that such an advance will not fall upon the consumer "because the Increase to the entire population Is so innnttea Imally small that the dealer could not by any means add it to the cost of his product," but when it comes to the question of increased freigh* rates to pay wages, the proposed in? crease immediately becomes a burden? some proposition for the entire nation. In this latter case, the public must puy, so the roads say. Head about tho cut price coat suit sale at The Sumter Dry Goods Co.? Advt. Marriage License Record.
