| is apparent that the county commls-
sioners are poweriess or unwilling to
cooperate it is the intention OF the Of
ficers Of the Chamber OF Commerce
to make this proposition a part OF the
program Of discussion for next Thurs
day evenings mass meeting to dis
cuss cooperative financing of a
scheme to erect sufficient residence
and business establishment buildings
to meet the demands Of the progres-
sive city Of Sumter.
Just exactly what the status regard
ing the responsibility for supplying
cotton handling facilities, that is pub
lie weighing facilities, is not clear fo
the officers of the Chamber Of Com
merce until they can secure further
light regarding existing laws covering
this matter. AS public weighing is
however compulsory. by State statu-
tory laws. and inasmuch as the public
cotton weighers are elected, controll-
ed, and supervised by the County
Board Of Commissioners and the City
Council of Sumter, this seems to place
20 considerable portion Of the burden
of supplying weighing facilities on the
county and city government.
That something has to be done very
soon, if Sumter is to continue as the
largest interior cotton market in South
tCarolina can not be denied. What is
the best method of controlling cot
ton weighing facilities? Should the
weighing platforms be owned partly
or entirely by the county, or should
the county lease platforms from the
railway companies and the Sumter
Cotton Warehouse Company. or some
other local cotton warehouse COM
pany?
Is there any provision by Jaw foI
the county and city or for either to
finance, without special legislation the
erection of cotton weighing platforms,
owned jointly by the county, city, rail
way companies, or some local cotton
warehouse company.
Should the matter fail Of solution at
the hands of the county commissions
ers then it is plainly a matter for next
Tuesday evenings mas smeeting when
there Will be present merchants, cot
Itan cptteH oduceEa bankers
and other business men.

Surprise Party To
Father MahOney
In Honor of His Eighteenth An
niversary as Priest

As a. manifestation of the high
esteem in which the priesthood is held
by a Cathloic congregation and IN
recognition of his accomplishments in
Sumter during the past one and a
half years as pastor of St. 5Anne.s
church, a surprise party was tender
ed Father Mahoney last evening by
the members of this parish. the occa-
sion marking the eighteenth annlVer-
sary of his ordination:
The ladies came prepared to serve
refreshments, and after taking charge
of the dining room and china press,
they. began to hand out little niceties
for the inner man.
With a few appropriate remarks in
which he assured the recipient Of the
love and affection which he is held
by his people, aside from the many
things accomplished in material
way. substantial purse was present
ed to Father Mahoney by Mr.. Neill
o'Donnell in behalf Of the conSrega-
ton.
Father Mahoney's surprise was evi-
dent and he feelingly responded to the
remarks of Mr.. O'DonnelI, assuring
those present of his desire at all times,
night and day, to share with them
their sorrows and adversities as well
as their joys and pleasures. both
spiritual and temporal.
Father. James Quinn Of Orangeburs,
close friend Of Father Mahoney,
surprised the latter with his presence
during the evening, leaving early this
morning for one of his missions.
The anniversary of Father Mahon-
[ey's ordination occurred last Sunday
June .1st, and he tried to 20. the
tdate from his congregation, but the
information leaked out during a SER
mon by Father Hyland of Charles
ton. and then the ladies of the Altar
and Sanctuary society got busy.
|. To Catholic priest, the anniversary
| of htss ordination is similar in many
respects to the anniversary OF the hap
py marriage of man and wife.
In taking to himself the Church as
his BRIDE. the priest practically gives
up all human. ties Of relationship or
earth and makes the. VOW Of chastit!
and obedience to his Bishop. forsak-
ing all things for God and the splr-
itual welfare ). of. those under his M
charge, sacrificing his life if neces:
sary in order to discharge his duties

the dying and needy and enforcing the
requirements of his high office as

ENGLISH IS COMMON TONGUE.
Chinese Girls Learn II to Talk to One

Chinese women students in the Tung
Flu College, Peking, China, are obliged
to learn English in order to talk with

dialects used by the student body.
Girls from the extreme western
provinces of China, who attend the
school, must remain in Peking during
all of the eight years required for
their high school and college train

would require six weeks for the trip

Girls from each of the western
provinces speak a different language
and they cannot understand one an
other any more than they can the girls
from northern, southern, eastern or
central provinces. Hence, they have
adopted English as common tongue
