Ol?itta Veterans Picnic
Largely Attended and Enjoy?
able Reunion of Old Soldiers
and Citizens
Mayor L. D. Jennings, Solicitor F.
A. McLeod and Secretary B. I. Rear
don attended the Olunta Veterans an?
nual picnic last Saturday. There were
approximately lifteen; hundred people
present from Sumter, Clarendon, Or?
angeburg, Florence, Lee, Darlington,
W'iUiamaburg and other counties.
Hon. Thos. G. McLeod, of Bishop
ville, was the orator of the. day. His
speech was up to the mark' in every
respec and he upheld! his reputation
as a speaker from start to finish, and
the large audience showed its sincere
appreciation by frequent applause
throughout.
There were hundreds of Sumter
county ladies and gentlemen and
iheirboys and girls preisen! especially
from Rfvitoei township. The outlook
lor big yields of eotton, corn, and to?
bacco, and other jhdd' crops in Flor?
ence, Sumter, Lee counties through
which the Sumter officials passed was
never better in their opinion. One
thing that impressed these gentle?
men was the good condition of the
roads In all three counties, theyjsa^k
ing the trip in automobiles via Mayes
ville and Lynch b?rg which put them
through parts of Sumter, Lee and
Florence counties.
A gratifying feature of the occasion
to the three representatives' was the
interest manifested by Shiloh farmers
ip the coming hard surf iced road
from Sumter to Hudson's bridge, via
Shiloh, to the Florence county line.
A number of these good fchiloh citi?
zens said that the Sumb?r tobacco
market and other business concerns In
Sumter will be benefited by this road
as it wirKenable Sumter county citi?
zens living from twenty to thirty two
miles from Sumter to haul their farm
products to Sumter over the hard
surfaeod highway, and to make more
frequent trips to their county seat
with less wear and tear on cars and*
a. great saving in time. Increase in
the amount of farm produce to be
hauled, and a considerable decrease
in the oost of hauling each load, all
of which mean the saving of man}
thousands of dollars to the farmers
every year when that hard surfaced
road is completed. They also Jlg
ure that they will save thousands ot
dollars in the hauling of fertilizers
from v their railway statlor.s in this
county, and in transporting other nec?
essities irom town and city to the
farms.
It aar, evident and very gratifying
that tho;ai good Sumter county citizens
feel a Very friendly interest in Sumter
and its business establishments. They
feel that the long distance from Sum?
ter to the extreme limits of Shiloh
township has in a measure put them
aqmewhat out of touch with the coun?
ty seat. Sumter. They said that they
Ukf Suniter? ana Sumter business men
and professional men. and that they
were de.drlous of getting into closer
tQudh with Sumter, which they will
do as-soon as the hard surfaced high?
way is built. It looks us though a
good hard surfaced highway to Hud?
son's Uridge will bring much more to?
bacco and cotton to Sumter and mean
much more business for Sumter, much
Of which now goes to other nearby
trading'centers and markets.
Sumter's business and professional
men should get into closer touch with
the extreme portions of Shll?h, Tur
beville. Sardinia, New Zion. Pleasant
drove. Trinity, Norwood, Lone O?k.
and Wood's Mill sections am cultivate
closer 11 Iglidships and trade relations.
All those sections are rich agricultural
sections, live at home and very pro
gresive sections naturally tributary to
Sumter's markets and business con?
cerns.
One leading Shiloh citizen living
about thirty miles from Sumter snffi
that the Hudson's bridge road will be
worth hundreds of thousands of dol?
lars annually to Sumter in increased
f>umbers of people visiting Sumtsr and
coming much offener than ihev now
come?that murh tobacco and other
farm product* will come to Sumter
over a hard surfaced road that does
not come here now.
When you consider the fact, the
very pleasant fact that fifteen hundred
people were sumptuously fed at the
picnic dinner with innumerable good
things to eat such as fried chicken,
chicken pie, chicken cooked in rice,
country cured ham, biscuits, maca-*
roni pie, sliced tomatoes, sweet and
mixed pickles, preserves^ of various
kinds, and so many different kinds of
delicious, cakes, tfles, tarts, and other
sweet morsels that Mayor Jennings
couldn'l eat more than one third of
the different vurieties though he did

That Grand Jury R eport
Further Facts Relativ?; to the
Water Supply at the Single?
ton' School and Committee
Inspection
Mi\? Editor:
In your issue of Saturday, July 24,
Mr. Irving Jiyttenberg, "for tlte com?
mittee" undertakes to answer my crit?
icism of the report of the rura. schools
committee of the Grand Jury. He
seems only able to reply as to one
school, the Singleton, and publishes a
etter from Mr. E. W. Lewis.
Now, the committee said of the
Singleton school: "There is no water
supply.
I said in my article: "There Is abun?
dant water at the Singleton school,
notwithstanding the report says there
is none."
Air. Lewis says: "They ftlie trus?
tees) have only recently had a pump
put In order for use and that prior to
ihnt lino.' the teacher and children
had been using water from the pump
in my yard."
As will be seen from the above
quotations, the committee said there
was no water, I said there \v:.h water,
and now their own writer, Mr. I^ewis,
says there was water, but he tries to
help them out of the hole by saying
that only recently had the pump been
put in order. H-e is evidently* suf?
fering from a case of -bad memory,
because the records of t.h<? county
show that $12. was paid for putting
in a pump at the Singleton school
prior to October L7th, 1919. So much
'or that point.
These same records show that Mr.
Ben Clements collected $3.00 from the
county for one day's services In in?
specting the schools and Xv Irving.
.Kyttenberg collected $L4 for 4b.ree
days' service in attending to the same
business. Four days only was taken
up In Inspecting 44 schools. >.'o wander |
the report was so full of errors! And
it Is not surprising that so many of
the schools were painted in ;such dark
colors when it is known that they
were visited either by the "light of
the moon," as. Mr. Raffield".suggests,
or in the afternoon after school
hours. 1 have communicated with
ftve of our teachers and th?jy all say
that no committee visited their
schools during the last term. Such
being the case, of course, this flying,
night riding inspection, could not be
iccuratc and the marvel is that they
had the nerve to report at ill.
Respectfully,
E. F. Miller.
Scrap Tobacco
Off the Marketl
South Carolina Tobaccft Grow?
ers Association Recommends
That Trash Be Not Sold
Florence, S. C, July 28?(Special)
Scrap tobacco will be kept off the
market in South Carolina, as North
Carolina is doing, if a recommenda?
tion, adopted today by tho central
committee of the South Carolina To?
bacco Grower's Association, is en?
dorsed by the board of directors, who
are caller! to meet here Tuesday, Au?
gust 3, a\ 11 o'clock In the morning.
?Memlx'vs of the central committee
discussed this problem at lenjtb from
various phases. They determined that
the extremely low grades not only
till demands for which high 5 r grades
would be us?d, fall to bring the cost
of production, ord tend to w.'iken the
market for 'be higher trades, but
greatly and seriously affect the statis?
tical position of the industry. In in
tance, millions of pounls a:' tobacco
'are reported in storage lodny. As a
matter of fact, probably m"?re :han
half of this is not manfactutable for
high grade use, ihe members believe..
Nevert In-less, it is tobacco and ra
poretd as such, and has Itg be.ar.8h
influence on the market of th;: present
crop.
Within the past two week?, several
hundred member.*! have been signed up
for the South Carolina Tobsc-:o Grow?
ers Association, as reports to the meet?
ing this morrn^g showed Loral oi
gaimations are Oeing formed in prac?
