Ten pounds Is not a great weight ordinarily but only the biggest sorts of turnips ever weigh that much. The Tlsdale turnip was the largest the writer ever saw. Mr. W. H. Seale, who retired from the office of County Supervisor, after eight years' service, on Tuesday, has accepted a position with the North? western Railroad, in the roadway maintenance department. Since the City of Sumter extends financial assistance to the Sumter Band, the Sumter Light Infantry and the Anti-Tuberculosis League why not go another step and make an anuual appropriation for the city nurse? The Civic League does not collect from private subscrlptior a sufficient amount to maintain the nurse and the | deficiency has to be nade up by the ladles themselves. The solution of the problem Is to be founi in the increase In the number of contributors to the city nurse fund or li an appropria? tion by city council The quarterly and monthly financial statements of the County Board of Control are publisher today In com? pliance with the law. The net profits of the last quarter of 1908 exceeded $22,000. T1LLMAN POWELL KILLED.
