Fair Week Festival^ Secretary Keardon Gives Out? line of Proposed Amusement Features Slimier is gone; to have the big? gest and most spectacular merchants' trade and gala week in conn* . iion with the Qreatei Gamecock County fair, November lfith lo 19th ever staged in South Carolina, perhaps in the south? ern states. Between the Sumter Chamber of Commerce gala week committee and the Sumter County Fair association at least ten thousand dollars will be Bpent in attractions, premiums, etc. At yesterday's gala and merchants' trade week committee meeting at the Chamber of Commerce with county fair officials, 'it was decided that the responses so far from Sumter's busi? ness men warranted the committee in taking chances on the staging of this combination and costly event. Many more hundreds of dollars are still needed, but the committee is relying on the "Sumter spirit" to put up the necessary money, and the merchants' trade and gala week and the biggest and best county fair ever staged in this state was decided upon, and will positively be pulled off on the dates above mentioned. Lieut. Geo. K. Wright, the death mocking birdman. will startle uhou sands by his daring leaps from one airplane to another, by his spectacu? lar parachute leaps, turning upside down wliile standing on top of the aeroplane, and other death defying feats for two and possibly for three days. This attraction alone is costing the committee twelve hundred dol? lars. The Royal Scotch Highlanders con? cert band, the beautiful Dehmarde sisters in aerial acrobatic stunts, and sculptural posing, these stunts being also dangerous and spectacular events, the big automobile and commercial trades display parade under the aus? pices of and paid for by the Sumter Automotive association with two $250 prizes for best decorated com? mercial and private owned cars, the Kraus?- Greater shows, football, open air dance, daily free band concerts, and other attractions, Sumter day, rural school day. and the biggest car Iival of bargain propositions any ierchants ever put on to top the pro ram. Other features of this instructive and strictly hign class week of pleas? ure and cooperation, and optimistic producing, and pessimism exterminat? ing, get together, forget your troubles, pull together and make business bet? ter, put up the price of cotton, kill the boll weevil business, etc., will be fea? tured throughout this county and slate in leading Kastern Carolina pa? pers during the next two or three weeks. Just watch your home news? papers in Lastern Carolina, and in Sumter county for fuller particulars. This will be an Eastern Carolina ex? hibition of resources and pleasure.

Since the creation of the of? fice the city council has, time and again, hunted out men from other places to fill this position. Has the wisdom of that course been proven by the brilliants success with which the men, so chosen, have ful? filled Urn duties of the office? If expert training be considered necessary, why not select a man whose character, ability and personality fit him for such work, and let him go away and get the technical training? I believe there are institutions which purport to train for municipal man? agement. Why not ( lux?sc a man whose stable characteristics are known, one of which would bo pride in his home town ? I feel satisfied that such a man could be found amonp the citizens of Sumter. perhaps at less than the sal? ary council is now appropriating to that purpose, and, since the tendency is toward reduction, would not that be a good place to bigin?
