JUST A MATTER OF CHOICE

With the return of the bright
Spring days and the promise of the
coming Summer in the air, We may
expect to again hear the discussion
regarding Sunday sports and games.
The automobile has to- certain ex-
tent changed the old-time observ-
;nce of the Sabbath, and few homes
remain IN America where the play
ing of the piano on Sunday is pro-
hibited. Laboring men and women
have neither the leisure nor the
means to devote to weekday pleas
ures. The hand of necessity is on
their shoulders. But for one day in
seven, if they are not too deadly
tired from the excess of the week s
work, thew may 90 out and see or
participate in popular sports and
games. And we believe they will
demand this privilege.
Any other day with them is i'm
possible. Hence they demand the
right to get out where they can
breathe and laugh and rejoice, even
as do people of leisure. The laborer
with the clean heart demands for
himself the right to walk, to swim,

go to the ball game, to visit the
country, or even to go to the movie

Certainly the laboring people are on
the side of a well-observed Sunday.
but tho fact doesn't necessarily
mean that they prefer to sit down
and read "The Lives of The Saints"
or "FoX's Book of Martyrs" They
know they can observe the Sabbath
splendidly and religiously by filling

souls with the joy Of outdoors.
They know that by SO doing they

Sumter, Oct. 19.-At a meeting of
Sumter county farmers at the court
house today a resolution was adopted
that whereas the price of cotton did
not permit the continued payment of
the prevailing prices for cotton pick
ing it was the sense Of the meeting

a hundred beginning Monday" Seven
tyfour Of the members present signed
an agreement to abide by the resolu-
ton. Mayor Jennings stated he had
instructed the police to see that all
bodied men were at work The
rural police force is also enforcing the
vagrancy laws.
Another resolution that was passed
by large majority but not without
much heated discussion was one that
the governors of all cotton growing
states be requested to call special ses-
sions of their legislatures to pass laws
prohibiting the planting of cotton in
1921 OH account of destruction of boil
wecVil and as the supply of cotton on
hand exceeds the demand for it,
This meeting Of farmers which was
presided over by l.. D. Jennings, fol-
lowed the meeting of the cotton ex-
port corporation. The two meetings
were largely attended by men Of all
professions and it has been said have
never been surpassed in enthusiasm in
the history of the county. Chairman
Thomas J. Kirven presided.
The first matter brought up was
that Of subscriptions to the corpora
ton. A shortage of blanks had de-
layed this work but Secretary Wilson
reported subscriptions of GIG bales of
cotton, $3,95O cash and 5000 in Liberty
bonds.
Twenty-Five bales more were sub
scribed at this meeting. All farmers
seemed in favor Of the corporation
The speaker of the morning was J. J

sibly explained the American Products

entirety.
