INVITE THE VETERANS Editor Daily Item: Oo the 28tb cf May there appeared in your paper under tbe cap? tion, "Invite the Veterans," a letter signed "A Confederate Veteran" suggesting that tbe nut reunion of tbe State Division be asked to bold tbelr reunion in Sumter. Now, Mr. Rditor, oor camp woold hardly take it upoo itielf to invite tbe veterans without tbe back? log first of the City Council end tbe people of Somter, and secondly we would bave to ask the citizens to cootribote towards paying expenses ; I would therefore euggest that the City Council expresi tbemeelvee oo thie sub? ject and also cali a man meetiog of tbe citi sens of Sumter some time dunog this month to consider this questioo, io order that Camp Pick Aoderson may !?ke lome action at its meeting on Monlay, Ai'gust 6lb. Tbere is oo doubt ot the advantage to Sumter io holding tbe reunion of 1901 and tbe old soldiers of Sumter Couuty would be delighted to meet their old comrades there. As a rule the u.en who attend these reunions a11 prepared t > pay their own expenses an 1 a very few would have tone cm d for, the only quean i would be a plate tor the old soldier to stay at ; and it seems to tut- that tbe Sumter people who have always been raady to eotertain other bodies who btve assembled thtre will not be fouod wan ing when the old Confederate Veteran knocks at the door. Now, Mr. Editor, will you kindly publish this short note nod pusn the matter in your pipers uoill our meetiog?salesday io Au? gust A Member Camp Dick Anderson.

The forecaster will do bis best to bring down the Fareobbit to boiling beit and to a certain degree (or fraction of a degree) we believe be may succeed.

It got here and has come to stay awhile. This wave is fabrenheit. This foreigo-heit wave does not belong here. I may ruo it yet. It came from the tropics It is composed of three distinct waves. Tbey met here and united. One wave is from Cuba, Another is from the Philippines. The third wave came from these islands some time ago and was already here. The third wave is McKin ley's "wave of prosperity" that broke the ice. Maximum temperature today 150 degrees. Minimum temperature 145 degrees.

Wright, the well known statistician and political economist, contributes an article to Leslie's in which he discusses the reasons for cheaper labor nt the south He at? tributes this to three causes : legisla tion, labor unions and sociological conditions These do all enter largely into the matter. But the great advantage the south has is thst living is so much cheaper here than in the north The climate is so much milder and the productions *o varied, that the means of living, and of comfortable living, are in the reach of all who will work These advantages will aways be because they are natural advantages, so that the south can always manu facture at ar advantage over the north It is fin advantage that will increase too as the southern people become more accustomed to manu? facturing and acquire more ekill in this depart met t of industry.
