Editor Daily Item:
Please permit me the use of your

called the meeting would present a
constructive program upon which We
could all unite; and ! attended the

ence Endorsement to every plan that

Of it all no plan was offered except
that of Mayor Jennings to sell good

more Of the citizens had left the hall.
II Chairman Jennings was really sin
cere in wanting an expression of
opinion Of the people Of Sumter coun-
" on the controversy between himself
and the other members Of the Board
Of which he is chairman why did he
insist on an Endorsement by about 100
citizens. and refuse my suggestion Of
a referendum when the County Court
is voted on? Neither would be bind

PISGAH NATIONAL FOREST

Not al the national parks are To-
Gated in the west, although Ameri-

Pisgah National Forest. This lovely
forest is located in the mountains Of

ment acquired it in 1914. The area
of the forest is about 93.39S acres.
nearly all mountainous. Because tho
public-spirited individual who plant
ed for the future understood the val
ue Of constructive forestry, there has
never been any exploitation within its
precincts. Giant oaks. tulip trees,
poplars, chestnuts, balsams and 9TH
er native North Carolina trees are all
to be found there: The native deer.
bear and buffalo are protected
The public is discovering the Pts
gah Forest. Every year finds an in
creasing number Of happy travellers
enjoying its lovely scenery and natur-
al glories. There is already a Well
built motor road which makes the
ascent Of Pisgah mountain COM
paratively easy matter, and other
roads are TO be constructed
The vacation season is almost al
hand. ,Citizens who wish to try some
thing different this year could not do
better than investigate the opportuni-
ties for wholesome, happy outings in
the nations parks and forests.

Ga, Dispatch comes disillusionment:
The man who Will take a drink Of
! 'moonshine liquor whose making h"
did no, superintendent himself c.tre>
little about his term of years on this
planet.
The writer OF these lines in the
good year 1879 looked into the dead
faces OF three men. every one Of them
heads OF families who gave their
lives to wildcat liquor.
These three dead men. their funer-
ais and flowers. their widows and or
phars and the toll of mothers am the
little ones they left to struggle on in
the world-all these fri@htful things
are preaching more powerful SER
mons against moonshine liquor than
any eloquence of prohibition lectur-
ers we have known and heard in
years.
In what state-one almost feels
like saying. in what communication
this sad story not be duplicated?
Homo brew, wood alcohol and ~ iv
concoctions Of hundred kinds have
taken a heavy toll in the. last yeal
or two, and are taking it still. Even
Canada, which many Americans mis-
taienly regard as a sort Of alcoholic
paradise. and which is now nearly
all legally dry as this country, tells
the same story. A Canadian news
paper remarked lately that so far
as the ordinary citizen is concerned.
there is no pure whiskey in the world
now"
AS knowledge of this fact spreads.
it has indeed, more effect than
preaching. Observers say that late
ly there are signs of a elimination in
drinking, and in bootlegging. TAX
ing a drink furtively is not SO much Of
a joke any more, since it has so often
proved to he tragedy. Respect for
prohibition is gaining, less from con-
scientious observance than from tn
fear of death.

TIE MASS MEETING.

To those wl-o expected the mass
meeting Thursday afternoon to solve
all the problems that fret and bur
den business, finance and asricul-
tuFe, and to forthwith evolve scheme
to relieve all distress, to provide mon
Sev and credit Tor all who need one
or both and to usher in a new era Of
profteerinS prosperity for everybody.
the occasion was a distinct disa2-
pointment. AS was to have been rea-
sonably anticipated no one was pre-
pared to offer q guaranteed plan to
advance the price Of cotton to forty
cents, or to show q way to paying
debt without producing or selling
something to raise the necessary
money. The mass meeting did not,
m fact, accomplish a single definite
object, save to demonstrate that there
: IS the Will among a large number OF
the people OF the town and county %
get pgether TO do something to pro-
mote better conditions. Where there
IS the will to do thing attainment is
certain. Therefore we feel encourag-
ed by the gathering together Of so
many representative citizens in the
interest of the public welfare, and le-
spite the paucity of tangible results
the meeting accomplished good. 1t IS
the starting point for future confer
ences that viii iead 10 we'll consid-
cred and practical undertakings.
In the course of the actresses b.
the speakers on the program there
were number of encouraging and
helpful suggestions, but. with the ex-
sception of Mr.. r. B. Belser, none of
them indicated plan for making
practical use Of the ideas advanced
MIR. Belser outlined definite plan for
creating an organization to buy and
sell staple products that the farms
of Sumter county are capable OF
growing proftably. This plan is
briefly set out in an article, prepared
by Mr.. Belser, and published in an
other column.

The signing. Of the wateree bridge
contract by the Richland County
Board sof Commissioners Friday
on the strength of "a resolution by
the Sumter county delegation abso-
mteE guaranteeing the money for the
construction of the approaches on the
Sumter side of the river insures the
early beginning of work on the bridge
at Gamers ferry. Sumter county has
appropriated $37,500 and Richland
county like amount 10 supplement
q federal APPROPRIATION of $4,000 for
the construction Of the bridge. The
approaches to the bridge on either
side of the river will have to be pad
for either Ey the counties or by indi-
syiduaf citizens. The money for the
approaches on the Sumter side-con-
sisting of about four miles Of cause
way, three bridges across creeks and
q number of smaller bridges and cul-
yerts-wiil be contributed by citi-
zens, and the county board will not
be called on for an appropriation for
this purpose. The estimated cost of
the approaches on the Sumter side
is s25,09e, which amount number
Of interested citizens have pledged
themselves to raise. The approaches
on the Richland side will not be az
extensive and the cost will not be
great. It is said that the bridge will
he complefsd within twelve months
from the time work is started. and i
is planned to have the approaches
completed within the same period. To
make the road practicable for regu-
lar traffic considerable work Will be
required on the Carriers ferry road
between the Stateburg road and the
edge. Of the river swamp. 1t is the
presumption that the work on this
section Of the highway will be done by
the chain gang. There are two eX-
tensive beds Of the best grade OF
gravel On this section Of the road and
it will be a comparatively easy and
not very expensive undertaking 10

Between seven and ten thousand pco-

given.
The campus made an ideal setting
'or the performance. IN 4 depression
was the stage, while on the slopes
surrounding tier upon tier OF seats
had been erected, affordinS TO every
person an excellent view. The grassy

ID ample space for the hundreds who
came too late TO get reserved seats.
Al the last minute an additional Sec
ton OF the seats was provided, al
hougf only provision was made for
1000 seats more than was at first
contemplated. 1t was q spectacle that
will long be remembered.
More than 1.400 students of the
college and of tnc training school
participated in The performance and
each character was faithfully por-
l..ayei. every COSTUME having been
designed after Il careful study OF the
customs and styles ui the exact pc
