BOOST ORANCEBuRG
SOME GOOD ADVICE ABOUT
TOWN BUILDING.
A Campaign Launched to Make Or

A Campaign Launched to Make Or
angeburg City of 10000 by 1920.
Pull Together.
The following article from Mr.. At
ticus Marchant, secretary lof the
Chamber OF Commerce, and one of
the biggest boosters who has yet
struck Orangeburg, will be read
with much interest. a determined
effort to make Orangeburg a city Of
$4,000 by the next census should be
made, and we believe with the do
or die spirit it can be done. The
chief thing is to make a noise, and
keep the city in the limelight of
publicity. But 1t takes money and the
business men must aid.
The Automobile Booster trip comes
off in about two weeks. Don't let
it be said that it failed through lack
Of cooperation. Don't let the towns
1t visits say it was poor or secon-
Diary show. Make it what it should
be. Do your part-everybody doing
their part and 1t will be bowling
success-something that in later
years you will be proud to say that
you were in the first booster trip.
We suggest for a slogan: 10000 or
bust. 90

There will be a picnic at Jerusa-

eral interest.
In the first Of a series of three
games at the State College Park yes

St. Matthews by the score Of Z to 4.
These two teams have played four
games, resulting in two victories for
Orangeburg, one for St. Matthews
and a lie.
Whatever may be this years cot
ton production, one thing Is certain,
and that is that this cotton year will
end with the smallest stocks Of cot
ton and mill supplies within a de-
cade pass. Even a large crop, there
fore, should, therefore command a
good price.
Quite, a delegation of Masons
came down from St. Matthews Tues
day to attend the meeting Of the
Commandery that night at the Ma
sonic Hall. The brethren will al

outside when they visit Orangeburg,
which Me hope will be frequent.

Just as firmly as I am living that we
could come very near atproXimating
such a result if we could work and
advertise end spend the necessary
money to that end. Il is certain
we can not attain such a result un-
less we try. How many men will
aid in making Orangeburg a city of
100000 In 1920"
The "Orangeburg Spirit" is SIM
ply latent and needs arousing and
once aroused will force results. We
must expect some opposition from
that class of people who don't know
that the war is over, and who want
to continue doing business just like
folks did thirty years ago. but l be-
lieve they can also be aroused once
We start things going.
We should have fund Of at least
$4,000 per annum to carry on the
commercial work of the Chamber OF
Commerce and advertise this city OF
ours. Other cities are doing more,
with not half our resources and
wealth, and We must not allow our
selves to lag behind. 500 men in
the city and county should be found
who would be willing to pay $40 a
year to carry on this work. Think
about this seriously and let's try it.
Apply to Orangeburg the motto
with which I opened this article.
Very respectfully,
- A. H. Marchant.
