HIGHLY APPRECIATED

Editor, The Manning Times.


Editor, The Manning Times.
Manning, S. C.
In his card of thanks published in
several papers, Mr.. r. NJ Covineton,
III charge Of moving picture unit of the
South Carolina Board of Health,
thanked The Manning Times, among
other enterprising papers, for their
cooperation in the very successful
Sumter county Health Campaign lust
concluded.
l feel like I ought to let your ad-
Vertisers and your readers know that
Notwithstanding The Manning Times
Is published in another-Clarcndon
County, that the Sumter Chamber of
Commerce feels under obligations to
your enterprising and valuable paper
for so kindly cooperating with Sum
ter County in the past in every move
ment for the good of Sumter and
Clarendon Counties, whether we were
putting on a county fair-a booster
trip: cotton or tobacco growers CO.
operation meeting, or in any other
effort Sumter has started whenever
we requested The Manning Times to
help us reach the masses of the peo
pie through its columns. The editors
OF your paper have pursued a very
broad and liberal policy of inter-
county cooperation and have contri-
Duted greatly ,taathe cementing of the
ties OF friendship-and good will be-
tween Sumter and Clarendon counties.
especially desire to direct the atten-
tlon or the business establishments of
Sumter and Clarendon counties to this
splendid spirit of coordination. T can
not possibly imagine how we could
ever get anywhere in any movement
without the aid of the Daily Item of
Sumter, or The Sumter Herald, The
Columbia State, The Sumter Watch
MAJ! man and Southern, The Manning
Times and The Columbia Daily Re-
cord-these six papers invariably go
ing the limit in allowing us liberal
space to catch the attention of the
citizens for cooperative and educa
tional purposes.
Newspaper, men are human beings,
l know that because l am an old
newspaper man myself, and little
communication sounds sweet to the
newspaper men who really are the
most potent factors in every we'll
"ifccIeu eiforS or every klnd-but who
are seldom ever mentioned in the
resolutions of thanks-or seldom ever
given any credit for what thew do
Notwithstanding the fact we couldn't
40 very much without the educational
and publicity facilities afforded by
the newspapers. So I just thought I
would let you, and through you, your
readers know how much we peopie of
Sumter appreciate what The Mann
ing Times has done, in connection with
the other five newspapers above men
TONED. You nor any of your brother
newspaper men or women will ever
read, so far as any one knows now.
any Of the nice things that are poin..
to be written in the obituaries some
of us surviving scribes are going to
write about you after you are dead.
So take it from me, now, while vo,,
are living, that Sumter and Clarendon
counties owe you great deal and
know that everybody in those two
counties agree with what I am writ
ing. If you are not too modest. Won
can publish this letter, am rcspon-
sible for what is written herein.
Sumter is very proud of Clarendon
county's friendship and good will.
Yours truly,
f.. |. Reardon,
Manager-Sccrotary.
