Neith? er Mr. McLaurin nor sny other man can make ths wsrehouss system a factional Issue, nor can he successful? ly use It, by specious reasoning, as a machine to udvance tho political fortunes of himself or his friends.

I The writer recalls how. on a certain occasion he waa shewing a neighbor a contraption he had put up In his barn loft to draw up heavy weights with, he grinned. When he was dem? onstrating how he could pull him self1 up. He succeeded admirably a bit and ' %m*n two feet Shot up and he went down three feet with a thud that knocked all the breath out. The neighbor laughed heartily and he, with the breath all gone, unable to speak, put on a broad grin. Talk to the average farmer about his crop and If ha grins Its a dry grin as sure as you are born. Gr?n and endure It, boy*. * Coming down the' train this morn? ing, in conversation with our worthy citisen, Mr. T. P. Sanders, he told us that Jwet after the war with seven hundred dollar* in his pocket, his all, he went down to Florida where he lost every cent of It, coming back to South Carolina flat and health gone. Every? body knows what he did. Starting at the ground he owns in the upper part of the county one of our largest and finest plantations. Yes, boys. Just grla and endure It. But you say "1 see nothing to grin at." Grin at the thought of your possibllttcs You've heard the story of the man preying to bs delivered from the bear. When a fight seemed Inevitable he said: "Now Lord, if you will not help me Just don't help the bear and I'll show you the devlllshest fight you ever saw." That's It, fight, to the last ditch fight. ?

The good and hospitale ladies "Of Sardinia who will serve the Sumter boosters with one of their delightful dinners on the community boosting tour August 8th (postponed from Wednesday, August 2nd) are desir? ous of knowing in advance, as near as possible just about how many to prepare dinner for. So that all Sumter and Sumter county business and professional men, farmers and Sumter county ladles who are wise and who contemplate going on the booster trip had better get busy notifying the Sumter Cham? ber of Commerce so that the secre? tary can put their nnmes in the pot. It is said that hundreds of Sardinia spring chickens that were cooped up and fattening for tho booster dinner have gained several pounds each due to the postponement of the trips, and that the Sardinia ladles will have to serve fried chicken, baked and stuffed chicken, chicken pie, chicken salad, chicken cooked In rice, and chicken of every kind except live chicken to get rid of the great many pounds of "booster chickens" being fattened for this special occasion. Sardinia and Turbevlllc ladles are famous for their unexcelled art of cooking all kinds of delightful food. Turbevllle entertained the Sumter boosters last year on the booster trip. Now the Sardinia ladles are going to keep up Clarendon county ladles' rep? utation as expert culinary artists, and Incidentally maintain the great repu? tation of Clarendon for hospitality to visitors.
