Abbey, who not only fur? nished the stereopticon, but took en? tire charge of that feature of the election bulletin service. The stere? opticon was operated by the regular operator at the Lyric, who stuck to his post until there was no room for doubt of Taft's election?and the dis? play of additional bulletins was use? less. Mr. Abbey's assistance In this undertaking was and is highly appre? ciated by the management of this pa? per. We are also Indebted to the Sum? ter Ice, Light & Power Co.. The Sum? ter Telephone Co., and the Sumter Telephone Man'-'^turing Co., for assisstance which each extended as a public service, as well as courtesy to this newspaper. Every business man. especially the merchants, should read the article, "Advertising As A Commodity?" print? ed in this Issue. It presents the ad? vertising proposition in a clear-cut, business-like manner, and throws light upon several phases of the ques? tions that are generally misunder? stood, especially by non-advertisers or beginners. Advertising is a "com? modity" which the newspaper has to sell. The man who buys It as he needs it, and uses It Intelligently will realize a profit, Just as the merchant who Is a good buyer and salesman makes a profit on his merchandise that he sells over the counter. We are reliably informed that com? mencing November 15th, the Atlantic Coast Line train to Hartsvllle, leaving Darlington at 8:50 p. m., will continue on to Cheraw, arriving Cheraw at 10:45 p. m., and will leave Cheraw at 6:00 a. m., via Hartsvllle, arriving at Darlington at 8 a. m. This train gives Darlington complete connection with all points north, south, east and west, arriving In Darlington at 8 o'clock in the morning, giving visitors all day in Darlington and an opportunity to leave for home in the evening. There is talk of having a big tourna? ment and free for all horse race In this city on Thanksgiving Day. Large money prizes will be offered for the winners in the tournament and the best riders from Sumter and adjoining counties will be invited. The candidates for the postmaster Ihip of Sumter who based their cam pnign on hope of Bryan's election have called off the canvass and the incum? bent will be left in peace for four years more. As a proof that hope springs eternal in the human breas*. the quiet, but determined, campaign that was being waged by the several aspirants for the postoffiee?provided Hryan won?was conclusive. The good will, good offices and influence of the Daily Item was besought by some Who heretofore have never evinced, practically, that they know such a newspaper existed, and they almost succeeded in convincing the manage? ment that the item was a power to be seriously consllered in the disposition of the postmastership. But it is all off now and the Item will never know whether it could hu.ve had a say-so in the selection of the postmaster of Sumter. Mr. S. J. F. Young brought to this office Friday three of the largest sweet potatoes of the season. The largest weighed 4 1-2 pounds and the ether two a fraction over 4 pounds each. Mr. W. M. Sanders of Satcburg. who was in town Friday, made a record as a truck grower this year. He plant? ed a little less than one-half acre in onions, from which ho sold |t7.2S worth of onions, besides what lie USCj himself and gavs away. After selling off tin- onions he planted the land in tomatoes and Scans. From the to? mato patch he sold $???>.60 worth be? sides giving away a great deal, using all he needed and put up more tha i 100 cans. He still has 3f> bushels "f green tomatoes for sale, which were gathered t<? save them from frost. The bean crop w as not a sued at owing to dry weather, an I he sold only $4 worth from this patch. His total cash receipts from the half acre were $11*7. 75. The Civic League is greatly indebt, d to Mr. H. N. Abbey of the Lyric then tre for his valuable assistance in the Carnival. Mr. Abbey not only gave his moving pictures free of charge to the League, but assisted in the other shows In every way he possibly could. Taxes are being paid very slowly is usual and County Treasurer Lee is not kept busy. The rush never comes un? til after Christmas. The sewerage system is not yet com? pleted but the end is almost In sight, only one or two short lines are to be laid and the work on them is progress? ing rapidly. County Supervisor W. H. Seale re? turned Monday morning from Jack? sonville, Fla., where he went to iden? tify Archie Brady, colored, an es? caped convict who has been wantad for several years. The negro who had been arrested in Jacksonville proved; to be the man wanted and he was brought back by Supervisor Seale. Brady was a member of the gang of, car-thieves who several years ago stole cotton on a wholesale scale from the Atlantic Coast Line. One or more, members of the gang would board an outgoing train and at an agreed point would throw off a bale or more of cot? ton which would be hauled away by other members of the gang who were in waiting. Within a short time thejr got away with twenty or more balea of cotton and it was only by accident that they were detected and some of the gang arrested. Some of the cot? ton thieves have never been captured although their names are known The better grades of cotton are sell? ing for 9 cents and better; middling brings 8.85 and 8.90. """The""public weighers have handled apt poxlmately 24,000 bales of cotton sinoe the season opened. That show* that the crop of cotton in Sumter ter? ritory lacks a great deal of being a. full yield. THE RIFLE RANGE. Gen. Boyd Spent Yesterday in the City Inspecting the Proposed Site. From the Daily Item Nov. 7. Gen. J. C. Boyd, Adjutant and In? spector General, of the State, spent, yesterday in the city. The purpose of his visit being to inspect the site ot the proposed rifle range which the State is considering establishing. It . has been practically determined In locate one ritie range in this section of the State and several eastern Caro? lina towns are endeavoring to secure It. The site that Sumter Is advocating and which was inspected by Gen, Boyd yesterday is located on the farm dt Mr. Singleton Bradford about two and i half miles west of the city. The ocation Is regarded as an Ideal one in ?jvery respect, as the land is almost perfectly level and has as a back; rround an extensive and thickly wood? ed swamp, against which the targets would be erected. Gen. Boyd made a thorough Inspec? tion of the proposed site and the ad? jacent country. He expressed himself is pleased with the topography of the country and said it was well adapted :o use as a rifle range, but he was en? tirely non-committal in respect to the nature of the recommendation that hs would make. It is hoped that he will make a fav? orable recommendation and that the ifle range will be located here, as it a/OUld mean the encampment of a large number of militia here each year for rifle practice. The State would have to expend considerable money annually for the maintenance >f the range and the annual encamp? ments would also be a good thing for " the town. MORE CORN GROWN.
