Mr.. w. F. Robertson,
Sumter, s. G..


Dear Mr.. Robertson:
l have yours of April 7th and ]
want to heartily congratulate you
upon the excellent record made by
Sumter in the recent Inter-City Cam
paign
AS matter Of fact up to the pres
ent year no city with a white male
population of less tIan 5000 (that is
to say, much lcss) had ever even con-
sidered entering the Inter-City Cam
paign. The handicap list was there
fore arranged to make the race easier
FOR so small city as Greenville or
Greensboro. You can therefore un-
derstand why it is that the handicap
did not help you very much. What
Will be done for the future l confess
none of us know, but every year for
the past six, problems have present
ed themselves and in some way we
nave been able to meet them and con-
'N> Wv o"S VI tiiio plstH W dll COu-
cerned. When you bear in mind the
above fact that we only expected
cities as small as Greenville, I do not
think we feel SO badly on our handi-
cap.
In confidence / may say that an
other serious problem is to get such
a clear understanding of the rules gov
erning the campaign as will result in
more equalized scores as a rule.
Your M. Birchard has sometime
since received notice that a meeting
would be held in Columbia April 14th
10 a. m., Y. M. c. A. building. At
this time and place all of the cities in
terested will set up the rules for
next year and if the rules do not suit
Sumter, it will not be because we
have not all tried to make the plan
helpful to all. Personally, I am
hoping that you will be able to be with
us along with Mr.. Birchard.
With best wishes, / am,
Your fraternally, y,
r. H. King.

Mary was heartb broken. To disobey
