and instrumental music-solos, duets
recitations, dialogues and an histori-
cal address by Col. John J: Dargan,
begin at s O'Clock p. NJ, The whole
purpose of the entertainments-the
object for which the club was organ
ized-is to teach South Carolina his
tory, local history especially, and to
arouse a more general interest and
intelligent appreciation of the high
place our State occupies in the real
history of the country. Col. Dargan' s
address is limited to forty minutes, but
into that space he has compressed a
great fund of historical information,
earnest eloquence, and stirring appeal
to the men and women and school chill
dren of today that they redeem from
fast enshrouding oblivion the history
of their native State, the truth con-
cerning the great deeds of their fore
fathers-pioneers, soldiers and states
men.
The club has visited quite number
of places in the Pee Dee section and
has received an enthusiastic reception
everywhere and an invitation to-:
return soon to continue the good work
for educational extension. a.
Col. Dargan needs no introduction
in Sumter county where he lived for
twenty-six years.
Supt. Love, of the Charleston Ex-
position, reports that twenty counties
will have exhibits at the Exposition.
Our exhibits are being collected as
rapidly as possible and there is no
reason why we cannot have one Of the
most creditable shows at the Exposi-
tion for Sumter County is certainly
one of the banner counties of the
State.
The Sumter Military Academy foot
ball team suffered defeat at the hands
of the S. G., College second team Mon
day afternoon by a score of 81 to 0.
The cadets expected to put up better
game against the Carolinians than
they did, but their opponents were
more experienced in the game and
easily walked over the Sumter boys.
The cadets played a good individual
game, it is reported, but the team
work was poor. The ends appeared to
be weak. The team returned to the
city on the morning train.
Everyone remembers Boone, the
hypnotist, who was here last spring.
It seems he has been in hot water in
Winston, N. G. From story sent
from that palce, it appears that Boone
hypnotized two young ladies' IN store
and offered one Of them S25 week to
go on the road with him. When he
returned to the store, the proprietor
had caught on to his game and inter
fered. The young ladies said they had
not definitely decided to go with him
but the matter had been discussed.
Some hot words followed between
Boone and one of the men clerks and
a policeman had to come in and lead
Boone outside. The two young lady
clerks may lose their positions.

Hall Society will hold their bazaar

ter. OF course the postofice will be

men. This is just little notice to

Der 4th and 5th. List of attractions
