SlMTERS PURK WATER A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT. Analysis at Various Times Shows That the Water I? Free of Disease bearing Hactrrla. The 8umter correspondent of the State, who never lets pass an opportu? nity to say a word for Sumter, writes as follows: Sumter, Aug. 3.?The published re? port that a man In Anderson found a tadpole In the drinking water furnish? ed by the waterworks of that city is proof positive that Anderson city water Is Impure or rather Infected with disease bearing bacteria. Sumter water, however, is derived from a depth of 422 feet from a number of driven wells and no tadpoles can get Into our water supply. A cltlsen of this city asked the Sum? ter health officer what that official would do if he found a tadpole In the water furnished by the Sumter water? works. The health officer said: "If X saw tadpoles In the Sumter water I would immediately light out for Keely Institute or the Corbett home at Greenville." Speaking about pure drinking water Sumter has been having chemical and bacteriological examinations made at different times of the city water sup? ply In order to keep a record by com? parative periodical examinations. This Is done merely as a precaution and also for advertising purposes in order to show how pure the Sumter water Is, as the analysis has always shown that the Sumter water is one of the purest in the world and has always been absolutely devoid of disease bearing bacteria, In addition to con? taining mineral properties of high medicinal value. During the Charleston exposition Sumter had a water exhibit in the Sumter booth consisting of a large glass exhibition tank, and another large 26 gallon tank In which Sum? ter water was kept for free distri? bution. Every y several barrels of Sum? ter water were shipped to the man? ager of the Sumter exhibit, Capt. A. W. Suder, by the Sumter health offi? cer under Orders Issued by Mayor A. B. Stuckey and the city council. Sum? ter water soon got to be In great de? mand and It was Impossible to supply the demand but the best possible was done. The commanding officer of the corps of United States marines stationed at the exposition grounds begged that his officers and men be supplied with Sumter water. This was a bigger proposition then Capt. Suder could comply with, but he consented to let the soldiers have a barrel or so each week, the government paying all ex? penses connected with the handling of foie water. :i The first bacterial examination made of Sumter water necessitated the sample being collected under rigid Instructions sent by the bacteriologist In Charleston who examined the wa? ter, and the sample was collected by a reputable and well known physician of Sumter who packed it in Ice and sent It down by the health officer. The bacteriologist had instructed the health officer to use a bottle which had been carefully boiled. When the analysis was completed the bacteriol? ogist rang up the health officer, who was spending a few. days in Charles? ton, and told him to come down to the laboratory. That officer went, of course, and the bacteriologist asked If there had not been some misunderstanding of his Instructions and whether the water had not been put in the bottle and boiled Instead of Just boiling the bot? tle. Being sssured that the bottle alone wss boiled and that the water was Just natural as drawn from the spigot the bacteriologist exclaimed that the analysis proved the water to be so nearly as pure as distilled water that he was apprehensive that some mis? take had been made.

New York, Aug. 3.?An important conference to outline a plan of cam? paign in New York State was held today by Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national comittee, wit.i Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. The conference con? tinued for some time and it was said that the part which the national Dem? ocratic committee will play in the cam? paign in this State was determined. After a conference lasting over two hours, Chairman Mack said: "Mr. Murphy and I talked of the situation in the State and what is be? ing done to elect the national ticket. A more active campaign will be made here after the State convention* No mention was made of the guber? natorial candidates. "The State committee Witt direct the campaign in this State and as long as everything is satisfactory?and everything has been so far?the na? tional committee will not Interfere. "Much has been said of Mr. Bry? an's speaking campaign. It is Mr. Bryan's intention to speak in centres of doubtful States, though he will not make the number of speeches that he made In his former campaigns. As has been announced, he will speak twice in this State, once in Greater New York and once in Buffalo, but I shall try to persuade him to speak also at some point in the ceter of the State. He will not speak in the State until some time after the 8tate con? vention, whclh I understand will be ? the latter part of September or the first of October. "I believe New York to be the bat? tleground where the Democratic party has a good chance of success." Senator Jno. \V. Daniel of Virginia, Henry Watterson and Former Sena? tor Pettlgrew of South Dakota had a conference with Mr. Mack today. Senator Daniel wi'l leave for Europe tomorrow to be away a month attend? ing to his duties as a member of the monetary commission. On his return he sild he will take an active part In the campaign. Mr. Watterson Is engaged in the formation of his committee of editors throughout the country favorable to Mr. Bryan's candidacy. Chairman Mack, accompanied by Secretary Urey Wooison, left for Chicago tonight and will not return until after the Bryan notification. On his arrival in that city he will announce the make? up cf the subcommittee which will have control of the campaign east of .the Al'eghenles. The modern power station Is a pro? duct of the coincident development of the high speed dynamo and alternator and of the new steam engine. In lec? tures of the London Royal Institution, Gerald Storey has been reviewing the remarkable progress of the steam tur? bine, and he points out that no recip? rocal tag engine of large size Is now being put down either In England or on the continent. The first practical steam turbine was the one of ten horse-power built by Parsons In 1884. Several turbo-alternators of 120 /mrse-power were supplied in 1888,'and were used for electric light? ing stations. The compound steam turbine was adopted to work with a Condenser in 1892. The first condens? ing turbine was of 150 horse-powpr, driving a 100 kilowatt alternator, 4, 800 revolutions a minute, and this proved so economical a heat engine as to mark a new era. Return from the radial flow to the parallel flow type was made In 1894, with Improve? ments In detail that Increased efflelen-' cy and lessened cost. Large sizes were supplied to Germany, and' In late years the demand for the Parsons steam turbine has Increased by bounds until about 2,500,000 horsepower on land are used and ordered. For the marine steam turbine, first used on a passenger vessel In 1901, rapid pro? gress is at hand as well. Letter to H. I. Manning, Sumter, S. C.

"RUBBER LADY" THEY CALL HER OLD OVERSHOES HAVE MADE MKS. MATZ NEU INDEPEND? ENT. Twelve Years Ago She Discovered \ That There Was a Demand for j Them and She Has Since Brought Up a Family by Dealing in Old Rub? ber?Russia Supplies Most. Xew York, Aug. 3.?The "rubber lady" has long been a creature of mystery along the North river front. They have called her the "rubber lady" because for the last ten years consignments of old rubber shoes have been coming to her from abroad. Had it been new rubber they would have thought nothing of it, but they wondered why a woman should want to import old rubber shoes from Eu? rope. According to the "rubber lady" herself, the sale of this apparent'y worthless stock nets her a large an? nual income. From all the countries of Europe, 'but principally Russia and Turkey, she receives old rubber, which is sent to reclaiming plants in various parts of the country. There the good rubber is extracted and used over again in the manufacture of articles containing rubber. By this trade the "rubber lady," Mrs. Augusta Mantzner, has been made independent. She has brought up a family of six children. She is an authority on this special branch of the rubber business. Seated before her desk in her home, as she is a mother first and a busi? ness woman afterward?she told the story of her brief business career in this country, which covers a period of 12 years'. Her business was started by a chance query sent in a letter from a friend across the water. "Is there any place In America where I can dispose of o'd rubbers?" was the question. It set Mrs. Matz ner to thinking. "I will find out," she said to herself, and then started out to visit some of the big establishments that deal in rubber goods. "I at once discovered," said Mrs. Matzner, "that it was not only possible to sell old rubber overshoes, but that there was a big demand for them. At once I wrote to my friend and told him to send the rubbers along. With? out capital I carried on my business for a couple of years, always carrying my account at one bank. At the end of two years I went to the head of the bank and calmly asked for a good many thousand dollars credit. " 'Do you think you are good for it?' asked the.banker. "I told him I thought I was and then exp'ained my business, with the result that he gave me credit without hesitation. From that time on I did as much business as I could con? veniently handle. "First I got my stuff by the carloao, then by the 200 tons and now I get many thousand tons at one time. By far the largest part of my for? eign stock comes from Russia. Now I know you will ask me why; every one does. "Well, it is this way. Nine-tenths of the population of Russia wear over? shoes nine-tenths of the year. Both summer and winter rubbers are worn. j "So when it is understood that the yearly collection of old rubber's fn the United States amounts to about 16,000 tons may be Judged what the export from a country like Russia might be. Turkey comes next In the amount of rubber scrap exported. "By far the largest reclaiming plants In the world are in the- United States and a'together the 16 do an enormous amount of business. It is said that one of them expended with? in 24 months as much as $750,000 for 11,000 tons of old rubber shoes. The price of rubber scraps varies from 3 cents to 5 1-2 cents delivered at the factory. "It is a fact that the supply of old rubber Is not equal to the demand. It is found advantageous to mix old rubber with new In manufacturing many articles. New rubber Is too heavy, for one thing, to form the en? tire composition, and then of late years the supply of new rubber has been growing smaller each season. The situation will Improve in time for Immense rubber plantations have been started and old ones renewed, but it will be at least 20 years before the new harvest will be reaped. "Women are heard frequency to remark that rubbers don't wear so long as they used to. The reason for this is that there Is a demand for light vcight storm foot, coverings and c >n leHfUSntly less rubber Is e^ed in them than in the old fashioned rubber shoes. The result is that they do not wear so long. "There is an Increasing demand for rubber each year. I import between 1800,000 and $400,000 worth and am the sole representative of European Arms. Some years, of course, the im? portation amounts to more than that. "I have always superintended the reception and unpacking of my con? signments. In a way the business |l something like selling grain or cotton for I make my sales several months ahead, deal In futures, as It were, pre The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been in use for over 30 years, has borne the signature of and has been made under his per* sonal supervision since its infancy* t^cucA^ti Allow no one to deceive you in this* All Counterfeits, Imitations and??

Fat Man Was In Serious Predicament. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 6.?Rising from a night's rest in a Pullman car to find that a thief had stolen all his cloth? ing save the undershirt he had on and one vest, was the experience of Wil? liam E.
