ROSh HaSllanah-The New Year

The Jewish New Year, or Rosh
Hashanah, falls this year on Thurs
day, September 18th. Like all Jew
ish holidays it is reckoned from even.
ing to evening and its ir'tial service
will be held on the evening of the
eleventh. While, owing to the vari-
ance between the solar and lunar
systems of calendation. it NAV ap
pear to occur irregularly, it is def
nitcly set in the Jewish calendar as
the first day of the seventh month
Tishri.
1t is not known scripturally as the
New Year. In the Scriptures it is
termed the Day OF the Memorial of
the Blowing of the Trumpet" Neviti-
Gus NNIII-24 or simply, as the DAY
Of the Blowing of the Trumpet" (Num-
bers NXIX-1.)
The nature of the festival is what
It's name signifies i. e., a marking Of
the passage Of time and a monition
OF the uncertain tenure Of human
life. 1t does not commemorate any
historical incident. Nor does it make
its appeal to the radical conscious
ness of the Jews. IS appeal is en-
trely to the present and to the in
dividual conscience. 1t j. thorough
ly universalistic and can be respond
ed to by all re!iGionists of whatever
creed.
The day is observed seriously and
solemnly. 1t emphasizes the sense of
Divine guidance. and, at the same
time, of human responsibility. The
blowing of the trumpet, the Shofar
or rams horn, is the peculiar service
of the day. 1t is the bugle-can of
the Spirit, arousng the conscience
In the contemplation of misspent
hours. and awakening the impulse
to make the new, coming year more
fruitful Of noble and unselfish ac-
ton.
The observance of the day is com
pletc alike by both the reform and
orthodox wings of the Svnagog. OF
ices and business houses are closed
and the house of prayer is throngcd
with worshippcrs.
The first service i'm the new Tcmplc
Will hc held Wednesday evening in
celebration Of the Jewish New Year.

BRANCH OF FARMERS RANK
AND TRUST co TO BE OPEN
ED THERE NEXT WEEK.
Number OF New Banks in Course of
FORMATION at Various Places in
This and Other Counties. All OF
Them Affiliated With Sumter Banks

1T was announced Saturday by
President {. G. Rowland of the Farm
ers' Bank and Trust Company, that
branch of their institution would
open up in Mayesville during the fol-
lowing week. Quarters have been Sc
cured and the bank will have it's home
in the building known as the DR.. Nc
Elveen Drug Store until such time as
the bank can build its own home.
Mr. Rowland was in Mayesville
Saturday morning when he completed
the arrangements for opening the
bank during the following week. Of
ficers for the branch institution have
been decided upon, but their names
Will be withheld until later. This is
the second branch bank opened by
the Farmers Bank and Trus. Com
pany. they having opened one at
Pinewood several years ago which is
in good condition and doing a good
business.
will have behind it the influence and
strength of the mother institution in
Sumter, which has something over
three-quarters Of a million dollars in
resources. Another feature in favor
of the new branch is that Mr.. G.. G..
Rowland, the president of the Far
nd
resident of Mayesville for several
years previous to his moving to Sum-
ter and he has many friends there
which leads the bank officials to be-
ueve that the branch bank will do a
satisfactory business.
The Farmers Bank and Trust
company is next to the youngest bank
in the city, but it has done a good
business since its organization and is
recognized as one Of the strong banks
OF the city.
The opening Of this new bank in
Mayesville is in line with work Of a
similar sort being done by the other
banks in the city. 1t has recently been
announced that bank will be open
ed at st. Charles which will be affili-
ated with the Bank of Sumter. and
banks are in course Of formation at
Hagood and Rembert which are af-
filiated with the City National Bank.
Banks connected with the City Ma
tional Bank have also been establish
ed at PinewOOd and Paxville. 1t can
thus he seen that Sumter is soon to
become a banking center for many of
the surrounding towns.

In the line of sports the children held sway, while among the adults q broncbo busting contest resulted in John Fredcricks winning first. and Max Richards winning second prize. IL was an old time occasion. and pleasantly observed by large attendance. The credit belongs to Judge Mowday and D. J. Evans.
