The American, Charleston's new
morning daily, made it* appearance
Sunday with an Issue containing
seventy-eight pages. The most strik?
ing feature of the new journal is the
large volume of advertising that it
carries in Its first Issue. If it can
maintain Its advertising patronage on
anything like this scale the financial
success of the paper Is assured. The
telegraphic news service of the Amer?
ican ig supplied by the International
News Service, which a guarantee that
It will have all the news from all the
world and have It while it Is news.
Mr. John P. Grace, 11*4 former may?
or of Charleston and one of the most
widely known lawyers and politic! ins
of that city Is the editor of The Amer?
ican and he Is assisted by a staff of
experienced and successful newspaper
men. The fact that Mr. Grace is the
editor gives the American a personal?
ity from the outset?It will reflect the
views and opinions of Mr. Grace?it
will be John P. Grace's paper, and as
he Is a fluent writer and a man of
decided convictions The American's
editorial page is not likely to be dull

Grin and Bear iL
There is such a thing as dry aria*. 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.

Ladies of Sardinia Wish to Know Ue
' forehand H*H? Many are Coining on
Booster Trip.
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.
No. will cure Malaria or IJilious
Fever. It kills the germs:.?Advt.
