The forthcoming session of the
Third District Congressional Conven

well-defined movement to that end Is
already In progress, and there Is good
reason for the belief that the Conven

A petition, numerously signed by
eitiztns of Amerlcus, will be sent the
nominee, Hon. Dudley M. Hughes, re
routing that Amerlcus be selected
Dr the convention.
Tlie time and place wherein Mr.
Hughes will be formally declared the
nominee of the democratic party of
the Third district in the next Con
fess has not yet been determined.
This will be left to Mr. Hughes very
largely, hence the request.
It lias been many years since the
Third district Congressional Conven
tion was held here, and the friends
ftil supporters of Mr. Hughes feel
viuite confident that he will ac
quiesce In their wishes that Sumter
vonniy he thus favored this time. ,
'lr. Hughes reply to the request to

Monday.
Next Monday. 6th, will be observed'
as National holiday in Amerlcus, in
stead of Saturday, a busy day with
the merchants, and to the end of
making the closing unanimous the
business houses will celebrate the-
holiday Monday.
Business here will be entirely sus
pended, a Sunday-llke calm will pre
vail, and Amerlcus will quietly en
joy the day, aa all patriots should.
There will be nothing doing, and
with sixty of the leading business
houses closed one need not constitute
himself a bargain hunter with any
hope of success, for only closed
doors will greet him.
For years It has-been the time-hon
ored custom to shut up shop on the
National holiday, and there will be
no change of schedule now.
The closing agreement ls thus.
signed by the following houses.
We, the undersigned, agree to close -
our stores and respective places of
business on Monday, July 6, in ob- ■
servance of the National holiday, it 1
being deemed Inexpedient to thus close -
