An Interesting Paper Read Before
Local x oman's Club.

From The Daily Item May %.
Last evening IN Armory Hall there
was a goodly gathering Of the mem
bers of the Womans club Of Sumter
70 hear the reading Of paper on
Civic Improvement by Mrs. Sarah B.
V;Sanska
Mrs visa.lska was we'll received.
Her lecture was an interesting AMI
highly Intelligent discussion Of the
work Of the Civic League, Of its ac-
complishrnents in the past and Of its
hopes for the future. In the popular
demand for civic Improvements she
pointed out the fact that the voices Of
women had been heard in no uncer-
tain tones, and that their influence is
felt and appreciated. The most cour-
teous attention was paid to the read
ing, and the appreciation Of the au-
dience was evidenced by the great ap-
plause that was accorded the reader.
One behalf of the Woman's Club of
this city Mr. Hugh c. Haynsworth
gracefully presented Mrs. Vissanska
with a basket Of beautiful flowers.

At o'clock this morning on the
parade grounds at the Sumter City

for the purpose OF selecting thirteen

Geo. W. Hutchinson and j. W. Brad
ford, Jr.
After very lively and tiresome
drill, the following cadets We're Sc
lected as the best drilled corps: Boyd

ming, Windham Manning, Gabiol

Base ball is going to divide interest
with politics this summer. Tc many
people in Sumter it will mean more
for the local team to win the
pennant in the State League than for
Ben Tillman to be reelected Senator.
The passenger station in this city is
said to be the only one in town Of
any size on the Atlantic Coast Line
that is not lighted by electricity.
That the station is not properly light
ed is apparent to the most casual OBJ
server, and the fact is conceded by
not few IF the railroad people them
selves, and as they know the need for
more and better lights it seems strange
that they do not make some arrange
,ment to have the station properly
lighted.
The Graded Schools will close this
week. The attendance during the ses-
sion has been the largest in the his
tory of the schools and another school
house will be needed if the attendance
shows the same percentage of increase
that it has each year heretofore.
The electric fire alarm is still on the
bum.
The new court house will be the
biggest contract ever given out in this
city and it is expected that there will
be large number of contractors bid
ding for it.
Report has 1t that there will be sew
eral candidates for the Senate to sue
ceed Mr. Manning and that there will
be no scarcity of candidates for the
House.
It seems as if there will be two
Game Cock teams in this State. 1t
would not be bad idea to have the
two pitted for a mortal combat after
the conclusion of the season.
The city council has not yet had
time to consider the removal of the
signs from the business section, but it
Will probably get around to this mat
ter in a short while These signs may
be useful, though that is disputed
point, but they are certainly not orna-
mental.

Jewish Festival.

Pentecost, or the Feast Of Weeks,
began yesterday evening.
Services at the Synagogue We're
held Tuesday evening at $50 o'clock
and this morning at 1920.
This festival commentaries the
giving of the Ten Commandments on
Mt. Sinai. ca. NJ. 244S.) According to
Deuteronomy, 1910, it is cafled the
Feast OF Weeks because occurring at
the expiration of seven full weeks af-
ter the second day Of Passover.
Originally a festival of harvest, (EX-
odus 23,16) When the Hebrew hus-
bandman, having gathered in the fruit
Of his fields and orchards, proceeded
to Co.'s Temple to offer thanks for
His blessings. This custom Of bring
ing the offering of the first fruit has
been replaced in the Synagogue by
decorating the Jewish house of wor-
ship with plants and flowers. Of late
this feast has been fittingly utilized as
a day Of confirmation, opening the
portals Of Israers fold to all those
children who have passed the age of
13 years and beyond.
The Biblical scroll read on this fes-
tival is the Book Of Ruth, because it
tells of Ruth's acceptance of the true
faith and the harvest of the first fruits
in the field Of Boaz. ]. K.
