MEMORIAL MEET
ING SUCCESSFUL

+ A huge audience heard Judge Men
del L. Smith Of Camden make an ad-
dress at the memorial meeting
which was held at the Opera House
at $50 p. m. Sunday.
The meeting was opened by the
singing of the national anthem. I'm
mediately following this was a pray
err by DIR. John A. Rice, pastor OF
Trinity Methodist church.
Hon. John H. Clifton was present
ed by DR.. S. H. Edmunds, who act
ed as chairman for the occasion. Sen
ator Clifton made few remarks in
which he told Of the deed OF a son
Of Sumter county during the recent
war. He then introduced the speaker
of the occasion.
Judge Smith, who was an officer OF
the United States army, and having
been stationed in Germany for some
time told of some of his experiences
and visits during the war. Judge
Smith was placed upon a committee
to investigate the German evacuatlons,
and he stated that it was never the
intention of the Germans to give a
single foot unless it was absolutely
necessary. The speaker paid many
glowing tributes to the valor of the
American soldiers in France. Judge
Smith remarked that it was OF no
great importance as TO the form the
memorial took, but that he person
ally preferred a monument placed up
on the capital grounds in Colum bia to
keep company with the other monu-
ments there.
After the speaker had concluded
Mayor Jennings made a few re-
marks in which he said he would &C
a little further than Judge Smith ano
say that the American soldier won
the war. Judge Smith said that the
American soldier may not have won
the war but without the American sol
der the war could not have beer
iwon. Mr.. Jennings said that Sumter
quota in the drive for 100000 was
$4,000. The first subscription was
that of Ex-Governor and Mrs. X. l
Manning for $1,000. The total amount
subscribed at the meeting was over
$4,000.
The meeting was a success and the
committee in cha 'ge are well pleasec
with the results.

SUMMERS COOL START
OF SHORT DURATION

Summer broke in Saturday night at
1905 O'Clock like lion. Yesterday and
today she continued the antics of a
lion, but the weather bureau stated
this forenoon that since every dog
has his day" so every summer must
have its warm days. Therefore. a
kink will soon appear in the lions tail,
and rising temperatures will probably
demand a recall of the lion.
The forecast is cloudy, with rise
in temperature. Washington this
morning had temperature. but not
much Of a rise was noticed. At noon
the mercury registered IS, just two
degrees higher than at the same hour
yesterday. 1t was stated by the
weather bureau that the cool breezes
now being experienced are due to high
pressure areas over the great lakes
regions and northeasterly winds The
entire coast has been affected.
From midnight last Saturday until S
o'clock yesterday afternoon the tenn
perature vacillated between So and IS
degrees. Its lowest mark was So, at
7 o'clock in the morning. and it's high
est, 70, at o'clock last night.
