OF the almighty God and was resur.
rected from the dead on this beautiful
morn, which we call Easter. Sum.
merton IS exceedingly fortunate tc
nave IN her various churches and
places Of worship an able pastor to
1uily explain the true meaning of this
glad Eastertide, that we nav ex-
empllfy the life of the Saviour in
whose memory such services are held
The past week there has been vcrv
llttle or comparatively no rain and
this has caused the tobacco planters
no little worry as most of the TO-
oacco that has been transplanted in
thls section has suffered greatly from
ehe drought. However they say that
1t IS not by any means too late and
that IL we can get good shower in
d few days which is, as a rule yerv
frequent in April, everything will
come around all right and with the
tobacco warehouse completed by july
ISL, Summerton will be mecca for
all the folks in the surrounding con,-
munity and things will begin to liyen
here in July, the month which form
erly was very dead" one, as fa,.
as business was concerned. This is
what Summerton has needed for the
past three years and we are GLAD
TO see our good people awake to the
fact.
NO" that Summer is near, why not
get up good base ball team in
eummcrton and help pass away the
time these long afternoons As
most OF the boys are back at home
and Summeiton has some very COOL
aX-Stars on her roster we see no
reason that we should not have some
very good games with our sister
GOWNS like Manning, Sumter, Kings
rec and others? Everybody likes to
see a real good base ball game, and
With the prospects we have len Sum-
merton, it looks like we might have
leader if the team could be sue
'esstuily organizer and managed.
What about it boys?
Some time ago there appeared an
article in this column in which was
stated that work was to seen COM
nence on the tobacco warehouse in
aummerton but up to the present
ime such has not vet been the case
However, we gather from different
PARTIES that it was the intention of
he stockholders to have the ware
lous ready to market the coming
rop at home in Summerton, which
We all agree will be the thing for
he merchants Of Summerton to get !
ehind and push if they want and ,
eed the tobacco money that will pre-
all when the crop is ready for the !
larket. Last year there was a great !
cal Of tobacco planted around Sum-
1erton, of course much less acre
ge than we find this present year,
ut the crop was gathered and mar
eted principally in Manning and
sually where the farmer finds the
est market for his tobacco there is
mere he is prone to go and leaves
good amount Of money there from
is receipts. For this, we cannot
lame them. Now what we want to
npress on the merchants and other
lslness enterprises in Summerton is
mply this, that if they want share
this community in August they
Ill have to get behind this warehouse
'slness and push. We further under
and that the building committee has
1T yet met and that the order for
e building material has not yet been
ven out and if the writes is correct
Informed this is now extremely
'cessary in order to complete the {
'ucture and have everything in read 7
ess by the time the crop comes .
