te New School Building: Again.
Editor Item: We bad hoped that
Board of Education won iii take
action on ?ur charges vi rta refer?
ence to the new high school building
as would have relieved us of the un?
pleasant duty of again appearing in
print, but their card needs some atten?
tion from us.
>n analysis reveals several facts
!ta we desire to emphasize, but be
proceeding we wish to say that
did not reflect, in any manner upon
gentlemen who compose the Board,
?vera? of them are personal friends,
and all of them are welt known to us
as enjoying the full confidence and
esteem of the citizens of Sumter. We
say this much because it has been
urged that people who live away from
unter may forman erroneous opin
from reading our article.'
We desire to call the attention of
ie pub?ic to the- fact that the card
was ooly signed hy four members of
the board? and that the name of Mayor
A. B. Stuckey was not signed to it.
Now for the analysas: The four
gentlemen say, "We hav? felt satisfied
that no reasonable ground 3xists for
sach comp'aints," and yet a Urie fur?
ther down they admit that "The vari?
ous alleged defects pointed out by Mr. '
biller are not new to the board. They
> had already been referred to our archi?
tect for adjustment." Undertaken,
mind you, to have matters adjusted
where "no reasonable grounds for
sach complaint exists:" Then why an
Iadjustment?
. As to the "necessary departure from
the foundation plans. Of course a de?
parture was necessary, very necessary,
where the architect had so neglected
his business as to pass upon and allow
toe contractor to put up interior walls
.- that had to be dug out and jack up
thousands of brick, raising them from
^Aeir original position and letting
I them down again on a nev foundation.
? Technically, their architect may not
have passed upon the building, but
practica?y he has. Mr. Wi ison has
been here once and made an inspec?
tion upon which he ordered a ?600
payment. At five other times his em?
ployees, Messrs. Urquhart and Leitner.
have made inspections upon which
,$9,094.57 have oeen paid. The entire
cost of the building to be $12,000, leav?
ing a balance of $2.305.43 ye? due.
Now, practically, as we see- it, the
building has certainly been passed
upon and accepted, notwithstanding
an innocent looking clause, in fine
print, at the bottom of the order,
which reads: "This certificate is not
an acceptance of any parc of the work,
nor is it to be construed as a guaran?
tee that the work will be completed
for the balance due under the con
1 tract." The milk in the cocoanut is in
the rest clause which says there is no
guarantee, &c. So that really, the on?
ly guarantee that the building will be
constructed for $12,000, is that given
by the contractor's bond for $5.000 m
the American Bonding Co., of Baltt
>*raore, that is, if they are solvent after
the great fire of two weeks ago.
The card refers to "a local architect"
making "certain damaging state?
ments." The best plan is to produce
the "statements" themselves, and we
* have procured the letter of Mr. Zeig
Ier, which is published in full below.
It only remains for us to inform the
, public that the cracks in the walls,
reported by us. have been nicely
?plugged up with mortar and washed
J?ver to eliminate al! traces of them,
which process, of course, adds great?
ly (?) to the strength of the structure.

S UM TE E. S. C., Mcb 30, '03.
?Mr. E. C. Hayosworth,
Chairman B'rd Trustees,
Sumter Graded School,
Sumter, S- C.
Dear Sir: Siaee* my conversation
with yon last Saturday, also with Hon.
A. B. Stuckey, I have decided to place
rbis communication before your hon
* ?rabie board, for itscousideration*:
1. i will ask your board to consider
the matter of inviting architects to
* ?end in competitive plan? and sp?cifi?
cations for the school building. I en?
close herewith a number of clippings,
which will explain to you that plans
and specifications for public buildings
iare always selected from competitive
'plans. Mr. Stuckey having told me
as well as yourself, that you had em?
ployed an architect who was making
pian?. This I feel is a mistake on
3<??ir parr as wdl as Mr. Stuckey's.
From i be following facts ? cannot un
<*er>>rand h??w such men as your board
?* composed nf, could empioy an en
^gineer to fulfill the req ni rem eu ts of au
architect, on a public building, and
without asking other architects for
comparive plans, it being a universal
rute to secure from architects compet?
itive plans for public works through?
out the country.
? 2. Mr. Stuckey having told me the
I name of the party who you feel that
you have employed. This places me
m A position as a citizen el' this place,
to cal) your attention to the following
- facts, and knowing the ability of this
fc parry to be inferior in regard to archi?
tect's designs and other practical
parrs, and knowing als? that, he is not
,a? architect, therefore 1 will cite you
to the following information for your
Aboard.
3. This party referred to had charge
of the construction of O'Donnell &
Co's store building, and ir, is a fact
that he allowed tu b- erected over that
building a sky light which has fallen
io and came very near resulting in a
ia?rious accident.
4. I am satisfied that a majority of
your board can recall the difficulties
* encountered by both, the First Baptist
Church of this city, and the A. M. E.
colored Church, on account of mis?
takes made in the plans and speeifica
. tions by this party.
5. If your board will write Prof. J.
M. Judson, of Furman University, or
if you prefer, I will show you a letter
from him which I think will be surt?- ?
eient for you to know in regard to this j
* rty. - I
, If your board will write Mrs. M. I
Beckwith, of Denver, Cal., and ask j
brr reasons for discharging this man ;
emnlo^ed as arhiteci on th?* school
building at Bennettsville, S. C.
If you will write Darlington, S. j
and find out why it was that the
iizens called an indignation meeting 1
Hwy requested the trustees to
e this man do certain things on j
building, or else secure the ser- '
of another architect.
5 If you will write ro Lancaster, S.
. and a<k the reasons why the school
bmidmg at that place has never been
"von pleted. ,
6 if you will write to 0. -Narry,
ex-alderman, Columbia, S. C., and ask
if the city* council did not request this
mut) to hat:-! in his resignation as city
engineer, and what were th-Mr grounds
for doing so.
10. I am informed that this man
referred to as architect select, but en
i gineer in truth, at one time submitted
a proposition of making a survey ot
this city, and for which .he charged ar
that time $1.0C0, and that the .same has
been opened to competition, and per?
haps the bid of another party convey?
ed to him, and he ??nding out these
facts, then he decided to reduce his
former bid, taking off something like
$400 00. It seems to me that your
board, if they would consider this one
last act mentioned, for a few moments,
that they could readily understand,
that if this man could have succeeded
in robbing the city of $40000, in the
instance of making surveys, which he
evidently attempted to do, and if such
are facts, is it reasonable to suppose
that if the opportunity was afforded
him that he would do likewise again.
11. In conclusion, I wish to say,
i that I am not calling your attention to
the above few facts with the view of
making trouble for anyone, but only
ask your careful consideration and in?
vestigation of the facts which I have
cited you to in the above, as 1 am a
resident of this town, and intend t%
make it my future home, and my chil?
dren must be educated in this build?
ing referred to, I feel that it is my
duty to cite your board to the above
named instances for the benefit of the
board of trustees as well as to myself
and the public it: general. u
Feeling confident that after you have
made the investigations, as I have
cited you to in the above, that you will
then decide to invite competitive plans
from architects, leaving out eng! ritters,
and that you will compel each archi?
tect submitting competitive pians to
deposit a certified check for 5 percent,
of the cost of the building, as a guar?
antee that the contract will be let to a
reliable builder within the appropria
I tion, and in case this is not done, then
j the check together with the architect's
{ fees, will become forfeited and con
j tributed by the trustees to th" school
I fund.
Hoping that the above will be of
some service to you, as well as the
public in general, ? beg to remain,
Very truly yours,
D. G. ZEIGLER.
Hore Liant On the Subject.
Mr. E. F. Miller, Editor of Freeman, \
Dear Sir : Your piece that was copied
in " The Item" was the first that I
heard of anything being wrong with
the new. Graded School building. I
wish to say that there must be some
misunderstanding and I am quite sure
that "Mountains have been made of
mole hills." , All of the material pur
! chased of us By the contractors of the J
Graded School building was of the
very finest that we could procure, so
much so that we were forced to charge
from $2.50 to $8.00 per M. more than
we have charged any one else in Sum?
ter. Even the material bought through
Mr. J. W. McKiever was of the best
No. 1 yellow pine, some of which he
was so rigid in his inspection that we
could not furnish it, even though he
was willing to pay us $36.00 per M.
and this he had to procure elsewhere.
In all buildings there is obliged to be
some defects, but if the contractors
have been as particular in their selec?
tion of all tho material for thc build?
ing as they have been with us they
have the finest building in Sumter.
Though we have not seen the work
I am quite sure that the contractors
did the best they could.
Sumter Lumber Co.,
.per E. L Witherspoon.
P. S.-I send a copy'of the above
letter to "The Item" and have asked
them to publish same if they wish to
do so by your consent You may pub?
lish it also if you wish. E. L. W.
Leas Light.
Mr. Witherspoon was called upon by
me and asked to give the whole truth
by stating how many feet of lumber
he sold tc the contractors at the
prices quoted. After reflection, he
declined to give us the information.
Possibly he can explain to the public
at whose suggestion he wrote the card.
And how it is that he also undertakes
to speak for Mr. J. W. McKiever.
More light is what we want, npt less
light or half a trnth.

The granite quarries in Fairfield
county have been forced to shnt down
as a result of the Baltimore fire. The
Winn^joro Granite*Co., had the con?
tract for furnishing the granite for
the new Custom House which was* in
the burned district.'
t Secretary Hay's proposition that
hostilities between the Russians and
Japanese be confined within a certain
area, and that whatever the outcome
of the war Chinese territory shall be
preserved to China, has seemingly met
with the general assent of the powers
of Europe. If neither Russia nor
Japan is to secure any territory, it is
to be wondreed what the war is for
and why it should be waged pt all.
Russia's worst enemies are not the
Japanese. They are to be found in
Russian territory and paying unwilling
taxes to support the Russian govern?
ment. It is this discontented element
that may prevent the czar from send?
ing men and ships to the far east in
numbers sufficient to overrun the dis?
puted territory in a short while.

The city of Charleston has entered
suit against the Atlantic Coast Line
for bringing ill paupers into the city,
the suit being started against the road
for dumping a small pox patient on
the city a few days ago.

getting busy with plans to elect
Senator Hanna's successor. Fully a
dozen prominent politicians are men?

The Senate has refused to provide
a pension for former i^ueen Liliuo?
kalani of Hawaii.
Tbe intemperate language used by
the committee in its report on the
remodeling of the State House at Co?
lumbia is somewhat unfortunate. If
in fact the work on the improvement
of the State House was of inferior
quality the committee has weakened
the force of its discovery by its sophc
moric declamation on the subject and
anyhow, tho manlier in which the
subject is handled will create a suspic?
ion in gorae minds that there is some?
thing in the matter besides an impar?
tial investigation.--Spartanburg Jour?

Japan's Attitude.
Washington, Feb. "10.-Secretary
j Hay bas acjded another to his long
j list of diplomatic triumphs and the
j United States is once more " enabled
j by his diplomacy to head the nations
in a concurrent effort to preserve th?
integrity of China. Mr. Hay's note
of Feb. 10 to Russia and Japan urging
them to confine hostilities within as
small an area as possible and to re?
spect the neutrality and administra?
tive entity of China will be accepted
by Russia, as well as by Japan, and
all the nations will join the Wash?
ington government in inviting the
combatants to sgree to the proposi?
tion.
M. Jusserand, the French ambas?
sador, called upon Secretary Hay at
his residence today officially to in?
form him of France's acceptance and
inferentially it is known that Russia's
acquiescence will be communicated
very soon. At the Russian embassy
tonight no intimation had been re?
ceived of the government's probable
answer to Secretary Hay's note, but
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa?
dor will inform Secretary Hay as soon
as St. Petersburg advises him.
The London government, it is ex?
pected, will not be inclined further to
inquire as to the details of the propo?
sition. It bas been known for several*
days that England adhered to the
principle.
The formal acceptance of the other
powers it is expected will follow rap?
idly but the success of the proposi?
tion is assured by the decision of Rus?
sia and Japan to agree to it.
The chairman of the appropriation
committee of the house of representa?
tives says this country will spend this
year $42,000,000 more than it will
make. Will the obliging chairman
kindly put us next to this scheme for
spending so much more than we make.
