S?attlroraH w? Baut jinm. WEDNESDAY, NOV 8.1899. The Sumter Watchman was rounden jo 1850 and the True Southron in i860. The Watchman and Southron DOW has the combined circulation and influence of both of thc old papers, and is mani? festly the best advertising medium io Sumter Industrially considered Sumter is in a better condition than it has been in years. ?t"seems then that tbe time is ripe for making oar city a manufac? turing town, certainty more so tban it ?8U0W. We need a large cotton fac? tory and there is no good reason why we should not bave it. The factory that we have is a email one ; but it has made money and bas only reoentiy been enlarged and improved. Even with iis present capacity, however, this faotory is no; nearly so large a one as our town should have and were it ten times its sise we oould still afford an? other. If the need for a large factory seems so apparent, why haven't we ooo ? Simply because each ose of. us, how? ever anxious io heart, bas besn hug? ging the delu>ive phantom of hope until the links of our chains of inactiv? ity have become so strongly rivited than it is bard for us to brake loose. This is a sure method for not obtain? ing a factory or anything else and that is to set with arms akimbo for it to come of its own accord. We must realize the benefits that would accrue to the whole town if we bad in the midst of us a we!i regulated factory with a large pay roil and big dividends. Other towns are growing rich on account of industrial development, why not Sum? ter ? Let us come now to a practica! solu tiou of the whole matter. If some gentleman of Sumter in whose business ability and integrity the people have confidence will subscribe $10,000 and will volunteer to accept the presidency, ve fee! safe in saying that our citizens would increase this to $50,000, and this amount would be quickly doubled with outside capital. Io this way we would soon have a hundred thousand dollar factory, and others would follow. Does the solutioo seem infeasible ? Study the history of other oities. Io .our vaults today we have lying idle over a bait million dollars Surely , this eapital could not be put to better j use than in the industrial upbuilding of our town Let the Business Lsague interest itself io this matter. Thick of some gentleman with sufficient capi? tal, with business ability and with in? tegrity, persuade him to invest $10, 000, induce him to promise to aocept the presidency of the factory, and the success of the undertaking will be assured.
