C%hautauqua Has
Closing Numbers
Vierra's Hawaiians and Jess
Pugh Bring to Close De-
lightful Seven Day Red
path Program in City

The Redpath Chautauqua closed
it's seven days very enjoyable run
in our city with it's 'joy night Civ
en- at the big tent OF Saturday.
Jess Pugh, fun specialist, had
charge of this program after the
very delightful thirty minutes pre-
ceeding him, at which time Nierra's
Hawaiians gave a concert Of a
most pleasing nature. This Ha-
waiian company. amade up Of five
men and one woman, playing on
various instruments, brought be
fore the audience their quaint and
plaintive melodies which breathed
Of the South Sea Islands, and which
made quite a hit with the audience
as was manifested by the loud ap-
plause given. a highly enjoyable
afternoons program was rendered
also by this splendid seXtette Of Ha-
Waiian musicians.
Mr.. Pugh endeavored to entertain
his audience with a mixture OF
Jokes, character delineations, dra-
matte imJersonations and several
funny stories. Some of his num-
beers were really clever and high
ly laughanle but the audience was
probably somewhat disappointed in
Mr.. Pugh in his role as a laughter
producer.
The ChautauQua programs have
been we'll attended throughout it's
entire run in Sumter and upon the
whole, the program was entirely
satisfactory and highly pleasing.

A Word of Appreciation of Sum
tei'S Little Folks.

Editor Daily Item:
Some M has said:
Youth, what mans age is like to
be, doth show;
We may our ends by our begin
nings know"
Such being the case, Sumter has
much to be grateful for, and can
look forward with confidence to
the future of her boys and girls,
her citizens Of tomorrow. Of the
many good reasons for this opti-
mistic outlook, the one that I de-
sire to call especial attention to
at this time is the splendid con-
duct of our little folks during the
recent Chautauqua- During this
season which has been so much
enjoyed by US, the conduct Of the
little folks has been ideal, and lit
tie do they realize how much
their excellent behavior added to
the pleasure and success of the
occasion, showing as it did, such
thoughtful consideration for those
older than themselves. as we'll as
for those in charge of the enter
tainment. AS one Of those official
ly responsible for the coming. Of
these splendid entertainments, it is
with sincere pride that I can say
that I have not heard a single
word Of complaint or criticism this
year, a record that our whole city
car be proud of.
This splendid record is some
thing for which those of us who
believe in Sumter's young folks
are so grateful that I offer no apol-
ogy for asking enough Of your val
ued space in which to call public
attention to the matter, and to
also voice my own sincere personal
appreciation.

is always made on time. Orator

readings practiced for the occasion
by thoroughly interested people.
This year was NJ exception. The
attendance was full and Thoroughly
enlisted in the cause. The orator
chosen was expected to do good
service and earnest expectation
greeted his rising to do his part.
The reading Of a prayer by Mr..
Mckenzie P. Moore was followed
by the singing Of America by the
choir. The president of the Me
mortal Association, Mrs. J. L. Frier-
son introduced the orator, Rev. DR..
John A. Brunson, Of Sumter, with
appropriate breyity. The address

TAT a classical school, but both of
these schools and persons occupies
a very important place. He stated
that no matter however we'll train
ed the individual may be, unless he
has developed the qualities of in
tegrity, obedience, honesty and
truth through a system of educa-
ing. He closed his address by
making the clear assertion that
there are certain values in life that
are fundamental and these gre the
ones to be emphasized.
After the singing of several ad-
ditional musical numbers by the
students of the high school, which
We're indeed excellent and upon

passed by the guests present, the
meeting. was brought to a close.
The honored guests, were then Civ
en- a. most delightful luncheon at
the school by the members of the
domestic science class of the high
school,
The purpose Of these meetings is
not shat the state department may
ascertain what the students are do
ing with their school work as these
facts are procured in other ways,
but the purpose and main object is
that the students may receive the
lasting inspiration that comes to
the young when addressed by men
whom they honor on account Of
their personalities "ud official po-
.sitien.
It is difficult to estimate the
value upon the students themselves
Of the meetings but it is certain
that the inspiration of a day like
yesterday will be felt for many Gays
to. come.
The guests. of the school were
further entertained in the after
noon by rides 'ahcut the city in
automobiles furnished by high
school pupils and also by being
present at the evening performance
Of the Chautauqua, for just as soon
as Superintendent Thomas, of the
.Chautauaua heard that these guests
were in our city, he invited them to

Mothers Day.
Crock Hill Recordl

Sunday, May Il, is set apart for
observance IN memory of mothers
those who are with us still, those
who await us. From many pulpits,
in many journals, in homes
throughout the land, there. will be
thought and speech Of the first and
last and best of friends. But it is
important not to let the sentiment
ensendered perish with a flower on
a coat without a practical fulfill
ment in a course of conduct.
We talk of being loving in our
homes as We talk of universal
friendlinesS, and when It comes to
practicing the precept we T found
wanting often. It Will not mean
much to eXalt and magnify a moth
er and dedicate a day to her and
then relapse into comparative in
difference to family claims the rest
OF the running year.
No eulogy approaching adequacy
to the theme is possible. In all the
ages orators have lavished the re-
sources Of their art in depicting the
infinite devotion that is a sentimen:
unique on earth-a sentiment Of
ten lavished on the unworthy, a
sentiment that is instructive and
neither asks nor gives a reason.
There can be no greater misfortune
tkAn to come into the world and
be deprived of the sheltering So
licitude that ~mother-love devotes
to infancy. Those who would pull
down the pillars of society most
speedily and surely have only to
arrange with the Bolshevists that
infants shall be taken from a moth
er's care and "nationalized' il,
vast, imperSonal institutions that
disregard the family tie as a con-
temptibie superstition. The or
phanages and asylums that we
must support for those whom
harsh circumstances deprive of
maternal care can never be the
completely satisfactory substitute
for all that mothers are meant to
be.
There is no reward commensu-
rate with a mothers devotion. No
wage a take the measure Of the
value Of her service. In return for
love she asks for nothing but love.
