Uncertainty OF Passage Over Bridges
Causes Delay In Visit to Rural Sec
tions. .
Owing to the continued rains and
the uncertainty Of whether, the public
highways will be in. condition con-
ducive to booster trip travelling, 1t has
been decided to, postpone the booster
trip from July 9th to August 2nd.
The itinerary OF places To be visited
ON August the End will be the same as
for the postponed date unless some
thing occurs to change the plans of
the committee. ai
Investigation by Secretary Reardon
revealed the fact that portions of the
public highways damaged by floods of
the past week can not be gotten into
shape for comfortable and fast auto
mobile travel. and II the rains con-
tinuc for next day or two it would be
impossible almost to travel over some
portions of the damaged roads, that
is with any degree of pleasure, COM
fort. and certainty of maintaining a
regular schedule which latter is very
necessary on booster trip.
Supervisor Pitts says he could not
guarantee that the damaged highways
will be in good shape and he agreed
with the officers of the Chamber of
Commerce that it is best to postpone
tho booster trip until Wednesday. Au-
gust Ind. when the roads will, If good
weather and sunshine are prevalent,
render the public highways alright for
a booster trip outing.
So far as can be seen now the
booster trip i'll positively be pulled
Off on August tho End, and If there is
any change in this proposed date due
, notice will be given all interested
through the newspapers and other
wise.
The Sumter Chamber of Commerce
requests that all of the parties writ
ten and to whom advertising matter
was sent about the proposed trip of
July the 9th will kindly do what they
can to advertise the booster trip of
Wednesday, August the End. The bus
mess men Of Sumter are very much
disappointed about not being able to
meet their friends of Trinity, Turbe
vile, Shiloh, New Zion, Sardinia, and
Mayesville next Thursday, but will
make UP for the disappointment on
August End.
