SENDS CHECK
TO HELP WORLD
KNOW SUMTER

With the limelight bursting upon
Sumter county from the advertising
she is already receiving and will re-
ceive from now on in constantly in
creased measure because Of her leader
ship in permanent highways in Geor-
gia, inquiries are coming to the Cham
ber of Commerce and business houses
here from probable investors and
home-seekers from afar regarding the
opportunities in Sumter county. To
meet this demand the Chamber of Com
merce has been contemplating the
publication of high class advertising
matter-pamphlets, etc.-for sending
to inquirers. Lacking funds for this
expense, the need was publicly stated
recently by Joseph Perkins, secretary,
and today he received from a local
business man a check for $25 to be
used for this purpose, provided other
interests contribute enough to make
up an advertising fund Of $JDe Mr..
Perkins submitted the letter for publ
cation in the belief that other men
would follow the example at once
Here is the letter:
Joseph Perkins, Secretary,
City.
Dear Sir: l enclose my check
for $780, which you can apply to
a fund to be used III getting up
high-clasa advertising literature
on Americas and Sumter county.
provided other citizens of the city
and county will send IN subscrip-
tions sufficient to make the fund
at least $4,000.
Our business is comparatively
small one, but We realize that the
Chamber of Commerce is doing
good work for the entire commun-
ity and your recent appeal for an
adequate advertising fund should
meet with hearty response, and
we are glad to make this contribu-
tion. ---------.

YOUNG POET
 GIVES ADDRESS

Robert Nichols, the young English poet, who spoke last night before the members of the Contemporary club, at the home of MT. and Mrs. David s, Day. gave most interesting talk pn the work done by the poets dur ing the war. As in the ages of long ago, the roar of the cannon, the ex citement of battle, the glory of vic tory, gives food for the Imaginative mind of the poet or author, and there will be many famous poem pro duced from the great war
 Since his coming to New York. Mir Nichols said that he is unable to write because there are so many things to write about. He just does not know where or on what to start He is of charming personality and jolly disposition that gives full vent when among an audience he ap- preciates. MT. Nichols spoke of other war poets, naming Seigfred Sassoon as an example. MT. Sassoon wrote ''To Any Dead Soldier at the time when so many of the English boys were giving up their lives in battle which seemed useless.
 He also read a number of his own compositions and judging from their merit there is great promise for the future Of this young man.

ATMOSPHERE COUNTS

The woman who possesses some pieces of charming old mahogany that have come to her as family heirI0oms or have been picked up here and there in rambles through old furni ture shops, can sanp her fingers at her wealthy neighbors whose Hvine rooms are done in modern style with velour hangings and upholstered davenports; for she has the .smal- 1ngs' of room that will infinitely surpass theirs in atm osphere and charm.

Assuming that a woman possesses the old mahogany heirlooms. the most expensive items of her furnishing probably would be the lampshades- and these even may be made at home if one has the patience and the skill. Inharmonious bits of bric-a-brac should be sternly banished: and if one has pair of fine old silver can dlesticks for the tip-table it would be a pity to use brass anywhere else in the room.
