A MONSTER PICNIC.
More Than 1000 Attended the 4. A. & Ii
SOciety's Annual Picnic Wednesday.

More Than 1000 Attended the 4. A. & Ii
Society's Annual Picnic Wednesday.
A fine day, big crowd and good
time expresses in a few words the result
of the Father Mathews L. A. & B. So
ciety's picnic at the Driving Park on
Wednesday. AS a drawing card these
annual events have been the means of
getting the largest crowds of the year in
to town and what is best of all the people
are so we'll pleased and entertained that
they look forward with pleasure to the
next season. Measured by the number
of paid admissions taken at the gate no
less than 1000 people were present at
the grounds on Wednesday.
A long line of teams followed the
Father Mathews parade and band to
the grounds at 10 a. NJ, when an enter
tanning address was delivered by Rev.
Ambrose Murphy of Lacrosse, who told
of the noble work the T. A. & B. Society
was doing Al adjournment was then
taken for dinner. The afternoon events
opened with series of horse races, the
first being stallion race between Sanka
Tanka, owned by VIM. Bigger, and Pike,
by G. Gibbs, the former winning both
half mile heats easily Time 1:20 and
1:1715.
The most interesting of the races was
the chariot race and although it was
hippodrome affair it was sufficiently close
to furnish the desired excitement. Three
heats were run and the prize, S15, was
taken by Maud Winthrop of Evansville.
Next came trotting and pacing race,
purse S25 in which there were three
entries, Mildred Wilkes, owned by j. w.
Conn; Star, by Tom Haight; and Charles
Britten, by w. S. Atwood The first
heat was taken by Star and then Gus.
Drager went out and captured the race
with Mildred Wilkes Time, 1:16, 1:16
and 1:13. A green race followed, same

Mr. ELIHU RooT the new secretary of
war, is distinguished lawyer, man of
general ability and in the prime of a Wig
Orous capacity for work. His selection
is due to a careful study Of duties ahead.
Cuba Porto Rico and the Philippines
are under military government. When
Congress meets their transition period
will begin. 1t is evident that the coming
labors of the secretary relate more to civ
il problems than to active army opera
tions. In all except one island of the
Philippines this condition has already
been reached The greatest war secre-
tary the country has known was law
yer, and so was the greatest war presi-
dent, both acting together through the
same era. Secretary Roots task will be
chiefly one of pacifcation and develop
ment. 1t is believed be has the ability
and the training to be of signal service
to the country.

Liquor on Ships of War,

The law prohibits the sale of liquor
upon ships of war. Tobacco is not
part of the supplies issued to the sail
Ors, but a supply is carried upon all the
war vessels for sale to them No alco-
hOIic drinks were served our soldiers
stationed outside the limits of the Unit
ed States during the war with Spain.
In some of the large camps, notably at
Chickamauga.s spirituous and malt liq-
uOrs We're sold. 1t may be broadly
stated that liquor was sold at all the
camps in this country where it's sale
was not prohibited by the local laws.
Tobacco is a part of the army ration
furnished by the government.

THERE is general awakening all over
the state on the good road question. 1t
is coming to be considered as business
proposition. Tax payers can see, and
have seen for years, that the system of
road improvement and the plan of raising
taxes to improve the road for years past
has been failure, waste of time and
money. It's time to be doing something
that will be of a permanent nature.
Good roads are a necessity these times
Farmers and teamsters loose too much
time by reason of poor roads. In this
age of sharp competition and low prices
the farmer finds himself compelled to
solve this road problem and the business
man is not slow to see that he must be
the farmers ally in the work. Transport
tation is the great question. The carry
ing cost of all commodities must be re-
duced to the minimum. The farmer
finds the expense of hauling the products
of his farm over poor roads too much and
the solution Of the problem is good roads.
That's all there is 20 it. He is forced to
protect himself

PROBABLY comparatively few persons
in these days have tremors of apprehen-
sion when starting on a railway trip.
But for the satisfaction of those few a
contemporary has compiled some stats
tics to show that railway travel is quite
a safe occupation compared to other
things. This compilation reveals the
fact that in the twelve months of 1898
only forty passengers on railways
of the country lost their lives, while in
six months alone of the present year
lightning made away with 127 persons
and Fourth of July celebrations with
144. The conclusion is plain that it is
better to travel steadily for over eighteen
months than to celebrate the Fourth
only once.

The cotton mills in the up country have
during the past year, earned dividends rang
ing from Is to 35 per cent cf the cspItaa
stock. The Sumter Cotton Mill is smals
afai: and the operating expenses are corse-
quently disproportionateiy larger, bat Is
earned, nevertheless, l43 per cent last year:
The up country towns are prospering, they:
are growing rapidly, business is brisk tie
year round asd the banks are filled with
money, and this is all the result of the estab-
lishment of factories There is 20 reason
why Sumter should not grow and prosper as
the up country towns. If We had numbss
of large factories and there is no reason whs
the factories are not here, except the failure Of
the people, the merchants and business men
especially, to get together and by uniting
forces build them. When once q start hae.
been made, and oSe large factory is 10 sue.
cessful operation it will be easy to build
others and to secure the Investment of out
side capital in any amount desired.
Other towns have done this and are doing
it every day, while Sumter ls doing nothing
in that line. Sumter is making some pre-
gress, but it is snail's pace as compared With
the progress of other smaller and poorer
towns These are the facts of the situation ana
the business met and property owners Of
Sumter who have most at stake and who
would receive the greatest benefit by the
increase of business and the enhancement IN
the value of property BY the growth and
prosperity of the city should face the Issue
squarely, consider the facts and do something
to put Sumter in the march of progress along
the road to prosperity.
