The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1896-04-29

Dr.. China has offered TO let the Willing
Workers circle of .be Kings Daughters have
the use of his soda fountain during the en-
campnent of the Citadel boys. Should they
take charge of the fountain then they will be
able to realize quite sum for that circle.
They will have good material to work on and
the girls know how to make the boys drink.
The Orangeburg boys will give dance
s'complinentarv 10 their Sumter friends" 90
the night Of the Both instant. Sumter
should send over as large delegation as
Orangeburg sent here on similar occasion.
The Orangeburg boys have made arrange
ments to entertain their Sumter friends and
pleasant time is promised all who go.
If three or four of our farmers who have
farms near the city were each TO plant an
acre of straw berries, they could give en-
ploymeut TO one hundred hands the year
round, and for two months of the year could
keep three times that number at work. A
moments reflection will show the most
skeptical that factories are not all that is
needed to make our city enter upon an era OF
prosperity. Several stra berry farms would
bring to the city just as many laoorers as
factory would.
Mrs. Loripg, the president of the Willing
Workers Circle of the Kings Daughters de-
sire especially to thank Dr.. China for the use
of his fountain during the past two weeks;
also the lady and gentlemen friends Of that
Circle who patronized them 80 literally
while they had charge of the fountain.
Quite nice amount was realized. There is
no doubt abou; it, if Dr. China could have
as lovely and efficient clerks at his fountain
the entire summer as he has had the past
two weeks, his sales of soda water would ex-
ceed all previous sales. Prizes were Of
ftred to the two young ladies selling the
largest quantity of soda water. Misses Lille
of the prizes, their sales having amouated TO
more than any of the other girls. The large
amount of good done by the Kings Daugh-
ters is astonishing and they should be en-
coaraged in their good York. The Ci:cle
here is blessed in having 80 capable and eff
cient president as Mrs Loring She has
worked hard and has done more than any
one else 10 build up this Circle Of the King 5
Daughters, and she should be proud Of her
work, and justly so too, for we know Of no
organization OF young people that can boast
of as many pretty girls as the Willing Work
ers Circle. They are rightly named, they
are wiling workers, and their works will
live after them.
