SummertOn.

In my lettellAs week said tha
which had happened those most con
cerned had much rather 1t had moi
happened, at that time had learned
that the Summerton Mercantile Com
paru, one of the oldest aud larges,
Me CT ntile establishments in this town
was going into voluntary bankruptcy
but at that time rot knowing just what
their liabilities and assets. was l left
it off, since then it is shown that
their debts are listed at sos, 742, 16 and
it's assets at Sl02, 3S5, 81. This failure
will be regretted by hundreds OF. peo-
pie no doubt who has been doing busi-
ness with this concern for number OF
years, but with the amount OF business
done by them the past year, and stock
fertilizers and merchandise at high
price, they found it impossible to any
thing like meet their obligation at the
present price of cotton ETC., hence the
only thing to do was to close their
doors or be closed.
The many friends of Miss Katherine
Capers of our town were little puz-
zled to see her name appear in Co.
lumbia paper as one who had secured a
Teachers Certificate" from the Rich
land County Board of Education, Miss
Capers is attending the College for
Women. and took the examination
just to test her nerve. The paper
quoted the Board as saying that the
applicants receiving certificates at this
examination, MADE the highest record
of any that had come before them,
Miss Capers won 1st grade with gen.
eral average of over 80. She is pursu-
ing course for the degree of A. B.
we feel sure she will accomplish her
ambition, and we extend her our hear.
