Proposition Meets With Favor.

A dozen, or perhaps fifteen citizens,
attended the meeting called for the

Association. The matter was discussed
in an informal manner and ways and
means for organizing the association
and maintaining it after it shall be or
ganized were considered. OF ~ourse.
nothing definite could be accomplished
at this preliminary meeting, but it
was evident that there is a strong SEN
timent in favor of the stock show as
an annual event in this city. and there
is reason to believe that the associa-
ton will be organized.
BY general consent Mr.. W. A. Bow
man was selected as chairman Of the
committee on organization and he was
directed to appoint, at his leisure, a
committee to assist him in making a
canvass to ascertain how many busi-
ness men will take stock in the pro-
posed association. If this preliminary
canvass is productive of results favor
able to the organization, another
meeting will be called and the perma-
nent organization will be taken up
with vigor.
The stock show would be an excel
lent thing for Sumter and this section
Of the state for it would encourage
stock breeding and would be Of more
real and lasting benefit than an an
nual festival such as was held last
November. All that is needed to insure
the success Of stock show is a little
enthusiasm.
