Young Mems Busii- -
ness League and
Sumter's Future
A Communication From P. M.
Parr0tt

Editor Daily Item:
read with interest President H.
a. Moses Review Of the years
work and achievements Of the
Young Mems. Business League in
your issue of the 2ath, and as
the league has honored me by
placing me at the head of this
live organization, for the ensuing
term, beginning August ,1st, I feel
that few words at. this time
might not be, amiss.
/. am deeply intere1ted in the
welfare and prosperity Ss Sumter
and Sumter county and heartily
endorse what he says as to the
great need e. this time of the
...live at home idea tand I. may
say the necessity of this idea being
put into actual pracice), as il
seems certain that we can no long.
er depend upon a crop Of cato.
each year to furnish our people
with sufficient cash to buy the ne-
eessities OF life.
It4sis the purpose of the Young
Mems Business League to ever keep
before the, people. of Sumter and
Sumter county the necessity of rais-
ing on the farms more and more
produce. and bending. our efforts
to see to it that there is a ready
market for every chicken, bushel
Of corn and potatoes; beeves, pork;
in fact everything that can be
raised by our farmers, and am
sure there is nothing. that grows
that cannot be. grown in Sumter,
and adjoining counties, for we
have without question the climate,
the soil, and I ann sure, the men.
I might mention the dairy in-
dustry also, which, is. fast growing
(and first agitated by the League)
not only in our own county. but
adjoining counties. and which to my
mind promises to be one of the
biggest factors in our community
towards bringing prosperity to
our people. The Sumter. Cream
cry has purchased and distributed
to farmers in the past few weeks
three car loads Of good milk cows
with orders tor as many more.
These farmers are furnishing but
terfat and milk to the creamery at
highest market prices, and with
the establishment of = second
creamery or. butter nlanufactory by
Mr.. r. H. Moses and others, more
farmers will be encouraged to add
more COWS and sell more. milk and
cream. This means many dollars
in the pockets of our farmers and
business ablishments of Sumter.
So let us not forget to encourage
the consumption of home made
butter and other products Of our
creameries. Call for it when you
place your orders with your go.
Ger.
As I said. the Young Mems
Business League has seen fit, to
give me the honor of serving them
as president for the ensuing year
which begins August 1st. 1t is
hardly necessary for nae to ask the
cooperation. or group captains
/ and committees and individuals Of
| the league,. as our members have
always shown interest and do not
fail to do their part. I shall en-
deavor with this cooperation to
keep working and pulling for
Sumter and Sumter county, SO when
shall turn my Office over to my
successor .he will take charge Of a
live organization with all Offices
fuctioning, with the traces tight,
and that we have moved further
up the road to prosperity and hap
piness.

son, .lr., cashier Of that bank has
in this letter expressed some fine
sentiments regarding the lmpor-
tance Of our business establish
ments cultivating closer person
al friendship with the splendid
citizenship of Sumter county's
rural districts:
We note with a great deal of
interest the annual Boosters Trip
to Rembert is scheduled for Aug
ust 9th. 1t is said that the good
people of Rembert are making
great preparations for the enter
tainment of the Sumter visitors

fortunate enough to attend will
have a big time. We believe that
meetings of this kind do a great
deal to promote friendly feelings
between the people Of town and
county, we get a lot Of valuable
business from that section and we
have no doubt but that we would
all like to know the people from
there better in social way. We
come in constant contact with them
in a business way but We do not
have the opportunity nor the time
to cultivate personal. friendship
which is a valuable asset to any
business man. We hope that you
will be able to go on this trip.
while you Will doubtless have an
enjoyable time get we would not
count it as day given over to
recreation only for we believe that
if you go out and mingfe with the
people of that section you will
further cement the friendly rela-
tions already existing between
Rembert and Sumter.

BOOSTER TRIP
re REMBERT
Cordial Invitation to Business
Men of Sumter Extended
by. People of sRembert ..ss

= / have seen !, a great deal in
Sumter and other newspapers about
the big gettogether between Sum
ter. and the rural sections booster
trip and picnic dinner. at Renbert
on Wednesday, August 9TH. 1t
would seem that Sumter is quite
enthusiastic about this approaching
event. Perhaps it will be well if
your readers and the Sumter peo-
pie know how Rembert and other
western Sumter county people feel
about this big. day Of social con-
tact and co-operation.
Our people at Rembert and ad-'
iacent sections are looking forward
with. equal pleasure to the visit Of
our good friends from Sumter. and
other sections OF our county. We
really do think that such meet.
ings and discussions as we will
have here. on.4August the 9th do a
great deal Of good for both the
city, and the country districts and
for the Smaller towns. also.
The business and professional
men. and women; of Sumter come
into very frequent contact in "a
business way. but neither side has
the. time and the opportunity to
know each other in social way, or
to cultivate personal fiendships and
create good will. and cooperative
understanding.
We. invited the citizens Of Sum-
ter to visit US as our. guests when
we learned from your Chamber of
Commerce secretary that you were
to put on your annual booster
trip to the rural districts. There
has not been a booster trip to the
western sections. OF Sumter coun-
ty in about eight years, the last
one being at Hagood which was a
very pleasant success. in every
way.
The good women of this town
ship and other sections are getting
ready to serve our visitors with a
fine picnic dinner. We are going
to give our visitors a royal; well
come and we sincerely trust that
every business and professional es-
tablishment in your city will be
represented at Rembert on We'd
nesday, August 9Th, Mr.. Reardon
informs us that The Young Mems
Business League has held a special
meeting to- endorse and do every
thing within the power Of these
husting young Sumter business
men to back up the Chamber of,
Commerce and other interests in
seeing that Sumter has a big rep
resentation at Rembert on the
9th of August. This is a fine spirit
of: cooperation, and we assure you
that Rembert although not as large
as Sumter, is putting forth the
same spirit of mutual cooperation
to create better understanding
and closer friendship between
city, town and country. ~
We just wanted to. let our Sum
ter men and women. understand
that we want them to visit us and
that we are going to do our full
part in making this .gettogether
event the kind of a success and
the source of pleasure it is intended
TO be.
