A movement to establish a savings
bank with a capital stock of $25,000 is
well under way, more than one half of
the proposed capital having been sub?
scribed for already. It is not propos?
ed to apply for a charter and organize
the bank until fall, but the stock will
all be placed within the next few weeks
and the bank is now ah assured fact.
That the proposed bank is needed in
Sumter is the opinion of a large num?
ber of business men and the subscrip?
tion list already shows the names of
quite a number of the wealthiest and
most successful business men in this
county. The shares will have a par
value of 850 each and the payments
on stock will be made in easy install?
ments so as to enable all who desire
to subscribe for stock to do so.

LONG DISTANCE 'PHONES.
Line Will be Built to Camden to Connect

The Sumter Telephone Co. has clos?
ed a contract wiht the South Carolina
Telephone Co. for a long distance
telephone service and Sumter will soon
be on the circuit connecting all of the
large towns of the State and the big
cities of the North, South and West.
The Sumter Telephone Co. will build
a long distance line to Camden te*
which point the South Carolina Tele?
phone Co. agrees to build a long dis?
tance line from Columbia. The poles
for the Sumter-Camden line are
now on the ground and Mana?
ger Belser of the local company,
states that unless some unfor
seen obstacle arises the line will be
completed to Camden within the next
six weeks. Long distance service will
be established as soon as the Colum
bia-Camden line shall be completed,
which will be about the time the
Sumter line is finished or soon there?
after.
The tolls for long distance messages
will be made as reasonable as possible
and it is expected that the business
men of this city will find the service
economical and very convenient.

The Question of Inviting the Veterans to
Meet in Sumter Next Year.
Mr. Editor : The reunion of the
Confederate Veterans of South Caro?
lina for 1901, is now an event of the
past. There was extended to the con?
vention no invitation for 1902, and in
consequence the selection of a place
for next meeting is left to the discre?
tion of the Commanding General of
the South Carolina Division, Gen.
C. Irvin Walker.
Now Mr. Editor, Sumter in one
sense might be considered to have
done her duty in extending an invita?
tion last year to this body for the
meeting in 1901. But does this natu?
rally follow ? In a few more years
there will be no old confederates to
whom we may do honor. Hence iffwe
would honor them and through them
the cause for which they contended
from '61 to '65, it must be done soon.
Columbia has responded most nobly
to the call made upon her, nobly did
I say : Y'es ! and in a manner that no
other city in South Carolina is able
to do, except perhaps Charleston.
Now sir, Sumter (in size) is neither
Charleston nor Columbia and may not
be able to do quite as well as Colum?
bia has done. But with a steady pull
and a pull altogether Sumter can
entertain the veterans all the same.
The only question now is are we will?
ing to make the effort ?

HOUSE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Queer Antics of the Electric Fluid at St.
Charles.
The family of Mr. John W. Mont?
gomery-, of St. Charles, had an ex?
perience Monday afternoon that no
one would care to undergo. During
a thunder storm the house was struck
by lightning and every member of the
family was severely shocked, though
none were seriously injured.
The bolt struck the roof, near a
chimney, scattering the shingles in all
directions. The weatherboarding on
one end and side was torn off and scat?
tered over the yard and part of the
plastering in one room was knocked
down. The only thing in the room
that was injured was a double-barrel
shotgun, which was leaning in one
corner. This was split from muzzle to
stock, one barrel falling in one direc?
tion the other in the opposite. After
tearing off the weatherboarding the
electric current jumped from the house
to a pump on the back piazza and did
no more damage.
Mr. Montgomery says ho knows the
lighting never stopped till it got to
the bottom of the pump, for it stirred
up things at the bottom so thoroughly
that the water has been red ever
since.
