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.
