so ably represented our southland
and who's ranks are thinning very
rapidly, to join us in this worthy

amount you are willing to subscribe

pie of Americas, but the matter Of =
large barbecue, brass bands, advertis-
ing, decorations and many thingsc too
numerous to mention, will require
money considerably more than has to
this date been subscribed. If you
can't spare the money we will gladly
accept good pig for barbecue. We
will be pleased to publish the names
o. all who subscribe to this either by
cash or pig estimated to be worth SO
much, as soon as the required
amounts are received or pledged.
You are patriotic Sumter countian,
and we feel that you will do your
rart and that you will attend this
reunion to which you will be well
come. You can write the chairman OF
this committee for such information
as you may desire and he will gladly
furnish same.
Feeling that you will respond
promptly and assuring you that every
penny contributed will be properly
accounted for and used for this occas-
ion only, l beg to remain, very truly

ATLANTA KEEPS OLD
GLORY FLYING HIGH

ATLANTA, GA, July SIN keep
ing with the nationwide patriotic
movement more American flags are
being displayed over public and office
buildings, hotels, clubs and homes,
than ever before. Not content with
all this, ways and means have been
found to keep Old Glory flying TWEEN
ty-four hours day and to have it il
Illuminated at night. Atlanta started
its decorations on flag day, June 18th
ad have kept it up for weeks, put
ting on many extra touches on the
Glorious Fourth.
So impressed was the Fourth Ma
tional Bank of Atlanta with the
patriotism shown for the flag that
the bank issued beautiful booklet
on THE American Flag" giving its
full history from the time it was offic
ally adopted by congress on June 18th
1777. The frontispiece contains a

adelphia, the birthplace of the Amer
lean flag.
Every school boy knows the story
of how committee appointed by
congress, of which Washington was a
member, called on Mrs. Betsy Ross,
the widow of John Ross, an expert
needlewoman who conducted an p-
holstrey business at her home, and
arranged with her to make the flag.
"a design was shown her. as the
Fourth National bank booklet points
out, "and she suggested that Wash
ington re-draw it, which he did. You
remember how she also suggested
that the stars should be five-pointed.
and, taking a, piece Of paper, she
folded it deity, and, with cut of the
scissors, showed how readily these
five-pointed stars could be made"
The booklet concludes with copy
of '"The Star-spangled Banner,
which from custom and common coa-
sent, is the national anthem.

William L. O'Connell, Chairman
of the Public Utilities Com
mission, Promulgates Or
der on Traction Com.
Danv.

Chairman William L. O'Connell pro.
mulgated the order Of the Board Of
Public Utilities on the Chicago trac.
ton lines compelling them to provide
seats for all passengers and to install
trailers whenever necessary to carry
this order out.
The traction company refused to
obey this order and appear to be aid.
ed and abetted In their apparent de.
termination to discommode the pub.
lie, by certain members Of the city
administration.
The following extract from the ON.
cial proceedings Of the Public Utilities
Commission and the City Council
Committee may enlighten the public
to some extent as to the attitude Of
the traction companies.
Before the State Public Utilities
Commission:
Commissioner Walter A. shaw-You
believe, Mr.. Busby, as a practical rail.
road man, that, In view Of the develop.
ment and Improvement effected In
cars. It would be o practical PROPOSE.
ton to operate trailers?"
President Leonard A. Busby, Of the
Chicago Surface Lines-Yes. and I
think It would be help.
Commissioner Walter A. Shaw
"Then you believe, Mr.. Busby. 40 .
practical railroad man, that In view Of
the development and improvement
effected in cars 1t would be o practical
proposition to operate trailers?" Pres.
ident Busby-"Yes. and I think It
would be help"
From indications It would seem 40
though the letter sent to the city
council by President Leonard A. Bus.
by Of the Surface Lines asking the
city to define its position toward the
states ruling was q step In q care
fully worked out plan Of legal strategy
by which the aldermen will be used
to pull the traction magnates' chest

nOYnE'S FAME Ma.
TlONAl
The Courageous States Attorney
Would Make an Ideal Candi-
date for Vice President.

Maclay Hoyne Is the one Democrat
in the West who has attracted the
attention OF the country on account of
his fearless administration of his great
office.
The New York states attorney has
frequently attracted nationwide at.
tention by his attacks on grafters.
Chicago, the central metropolis of
the country, holds the attention of the
American people to greater extent
than any other city.
That is why Maclay Hoyne is today
a National Character.
His fearless prosecution of crooked
policemen, who believed themselves
to be all powerful, has won for him
a place in American politics that will
grow with time.
This was only one of a hundred vic.
tories won by him for the cause of
right and justice.
Illinois could have no stronger can.
didate for National honors to offer
to the Democratic party at st. Louis
next summer.
There is no Illinoisan named in any
party for high national preferment
now, whose record can at all compare
with that Of Hoyne.
He has done things.
And what he has done has been for
the public good.
Wilson and Hoyne would be an in.
vincible combination.
