IOW WOULD JESl S VOTE?
Mr. E. F. Miller Explslns flu Views
1>? the Liquor Question.
To the Kdttoi of The Dally Item:
h your baue of March 3rd. you
define your position on the question
of dispensary or prohibition, and in?
vite others to express their views
through y<?ur columns. In taking ad?
vantage of this Invitation, at this
time. It le my purpose to call atten?
tion to ? tew facts that ought to he
borne In mind.
Prohibition Is a moral as well as a
political Issue snd it is th< duty of ev?
ery tfood cltisen, as we s?e it, to oast
his I allot against the sale of whiskey,
give to ihs law his moral support, and
then he Has no more to do with the
consequences than he bait in the en?
forcement of other lawa The Chris?
tisn certs Inly cannot vote for whiskey
undtr a* y circumstances, for In so
doing he goes counter to the teach?
ings of the Master. He should ask
himself the question: How would
Jesus Christ vote If he were alive
upon the earth at this time ai.d a clti?
sen of Sumter County? Ihere can be
no question as to the answer. No
prohibitionist bellevee that an "Ideal
condition can be brought about by
the enactment of a law forbidding he
sale of liquor." They do believe,
however, that such a law could be
better enforced than the present dis?
pensary Inw. and would be a vast Im?
provement upon it. The present law
la a "snare and a delusion" and the
worst sort of a sham. The Sumter
County dlspenearlea are no better
than, sud In fact, are blind tigers,
because 'he whiskey they sell Is not
legally sold. The law requires the
use of "request" blanks, but we all
know that this wise provision Is open?
ly and flagrantly violated. No pre?
tense whstever Is made to enforce it
Other blind tigers and social clubs
also floumisU under the present sys?
tem, and would be no wrose under
prohibit ton.
We do not believe that, with the
dispensaries closed, there will be as
much liquor sold here as there Is
sow.
And leaving sll other considera?
tions out of the question, no man who
has a boy can afford, by his vote, to
establish a whiskey shop In our coun?
ty to tempt him tc moral and physi?
cal ruin.
Oas more fact, please, and let me
write It large: Were It not for the
revenue produced by the sals of whis?
key and beer In Sumter County no
sane man could be found who would
esst his vots for it Ars ws to sell
ourselves to this monster In order
that we may hear the Jingle In our
pockets of the few dimes saved In
taxes? We do not believe the man?
hood of Sumter County will do this
thing, bot will show to the world that
they ar? Influenced by nobler senti?
ments, and will repud'ate this scheme
'??for revenue only."

DIL ELIOT GkYKS HIS VIEWS OX
It \CIAL INTERMARRIAGE.
Says Different Peoples Have Never
Indulged to Their Profit?Irish
Should Not Wed Anierctuu* of Eng?
lish Descent.
Montgomery. Ala., March 8.?
"There should be no admixture of ra?
cial stocks," declared retiring Presi?
dent Eliot, of Harvard University to?
night In an Interview. "I believe, for
example, that the Irish should not In?
termarry with the Americans of Eng?
lish descent; that the Germans should
not marry the Italians; that the Jews
shofuld not marry the French. Each
race should maintain its own Individ?
uality. The experience of civilization
shows that racial stocks are never mix?
ed with profit, and that such unions
do not bring forth the best and
strongest children. There Is no rea?
son, however, why the races cannot
live together, side by side, In perfect
peare and amity.
"In the case of the negroes and the
whites, the race should be kept apart
In every respect. The South has a wise
policy. I believe that Booker T.
Washington has the right Ideals, and
'hat Dubola is Injuring the progress
of his race with his views."
President Eliot emphatically de?
nies that he ever said that there was
a suffrage problem in the North, ow?
ing to the predominance of Catholics.
"In the North we are affiliated In
our civic life by having masses of vo?
ters who know nothing of liberty.
Take the Irish?they say themselves
that at home they had no experience
at self-government Our problem Is to
show the newer arrivals that It Is to
their Interest to have effeclent gov?
ernment and not lavish expenditure."
Dr. Eliot left for Birmingham to?
night, and on Tuesday night will ad?
dress the student body of the Univer?
sity of Alabama, at Tuscaloosa.

Saving the Forest.
To Indicate the actual possibilities
of forest devolopments, the conditions
in North Carolina may be taken as
representative. Could a well-defined
forest policy have been adopted in
this State 26 years ago, not only
might more timber have been cut
than has been during the psat 25
years, but In place of a yearly de?
creasing cut of 35,000,000 feet, which
is now taking place, there would easi?
ly have been secured by this time a
yearly increase cut of more than
70,000.000 feet, with the prospects of
producing In a few years more than
twice the present annual cut from the
existing forest area. Every year of
delay, however. In adoption of such a
policy means many years of loss for
recuperation. It means the destruc?
tion of active capital, represented In
young trees, which no amount ?. f
money can possibly replace, for only
time and care can again establish
them. The South today has an op?
portunity to actually develop Its for?
est assets without Interfering with
their exploitation. Further exploit?
ation, however, without development
will take place by exacting an enor?
mous discount from the future earn?
ings of Its forests.

MANNIN? LAND SALE
-
Big Tract Sold at Auction and Lots
Bring High Prices?An Evidence of
The Tow u s Growth.
Manning, March 6.?This was sure?
ly a gala day In the history of Man?
ning, and its influence for the up?
building of Manning will be felt in
the future. The American Realty .fc
Auction Company of Greensboro, N.
C, sold with a blare of trumpets lit
erallyk|for a brass band of ten pieces,
under the direction of Prof. J. B.
Lehman, discoursed music while the
sale of 75 lots In the corporate limits
of Manning, known as the A. L. Le
se8ne tract, was disposed of by those
princes of auctioneers, Messrs. J. C.
Penny and D. A. Bodenhamer, at the
rate of one a minute. The land sold
aggregated thirteen (13) acres at
about ore thousand dollars an acre,
prices ranging from one hundred to
four hundred dollars a lot. Eight or
ten years ago this same properU
could have been readily pur?
chased at from $5 to $10 an acre and
yet carplr? crltlcis cont end that Ma i
nfnil is not growing.
Five prizes were drawn of five dol?
lars each in gold, and ten dollars In
silver, was distributed in the crowd.
There was an immense concourse
of people assembled and the bidding
was spirited.
The officers of the company are G.
T. Penny, president; J. C. Penny, vice
president; J. R. Thomas, secretary.
As this tract of land has been dis?
tributed among 76 purchasers, small
homes will be erected thereon at a
rental of say $5 to $7.50 per month,
and persdns of moderate means will
be enabled to live comfortably and at
a reasonable figure, and this will havo
a tendency to draw within our gates
from adjoining counties and States,
industrious and law-abiding people
and naturally an Increased popula?
tion means Increased prosperity.
In tho near future there will be
other sales of lands and the develop?
ment of Manning will continue as the
county seat of grand and good old
Clarendon. Manning will not only
command but deserve success.
Among the purchasers were: Dr.
Charles B. Geiger, Clerk of Court A.
I. Barron, D. Hirschman, .Rev. P. H.
Shuler, ex-Senator J. H. Lesesne, C.
R. Sprott. Among the out-of-town
persons who were present at the sale
were: Messrs. H. H. Bradham, of
Greenville, W. M. O'Bryan, Heine
mans, A. L. Lesesne, Sumter, J. H.
Mahoney, Silver.
Judge John S. Wilson, who has
been holding court at Monck's Corn?
er is home on a brief respite. As al?
ways, his many friends are delighted
to see this genial gentleman and
jurist.
Mrs. Beulah M. Dinklns has return?
ed to Manning much to the genuine
gratification of her many devoted
friends.
Mr. James H. Holmes, a very ener?
getic business man of Charleston was
here much to the pleasure of his
many friends.
Mr. Frank P. Burgess, cotton buy?
er, for the great exporting house of
Alex Sprunt & Sons of Wilmington,
X. C, spent a few days ajt his old
home, Stateburg. Sumter may well
be proud of this sterling youn* Amer?
ican.
The Plumbers' Demands.
To the Editor of The Dally Item:
Please permit me a short space in
your paper to make a few remarks In
regard to this scale of pay that the
plumbers of Sumter are trying to get.
If I understand it correctly, they are
demanding $3.50 for 8 hours work
per day. I can't understand myself
on what grounds they demand it. If
it Is from skill I would like to know
where it comes in at us you can take
any man or boy that has any In?
telligence whatever and teach him in
a day's time how to solder or wipe
a lead joint. Now they have served
no time as a mechanic would, to mas?
ter the trade.
It takes a machinist four or five
years to master the machinist's trade,
with all the disadvantages he has to
contend with, and it takes a good one
to demand or get $3.50 for a day's
work at 9 to 10 hours per day.
And again, I say that it is not fair
to charge this price in competlon with
other trades that require more skill.
And another thing, these plumbers
are here today and gone tomorrow.
And again how about the man who
runs the plumbing shop, who will be
compelled to hire the men at this
price, and of which he is entitled to
a certain per cent of the hired man's
time, therefore forcing the price up
to $7 or $8 per day for, I would like
to know. I am a firm believer in the
wage-earner selling his hire to the
highest bidder, but let him first prove
what work demands It.
This Is an unreasonable price and
1 think the plumbers ought to come
to some consideration before demand?
ing stich prices and other stipulations
In connection with their work.

Mr. G. W. Reardon requested per?
mission to repair the Moor of a wood?
en store within the fire limits. His
request was referred to the Fire De?
partment Committee with power to
act.
Mr. D. D. Moise on behalf of Mr. T.
B. Jenkins asked that council would
state definitely at what time their
promise would be fulfilled, to pipe
the drain across Mr. Jenkins' land or
I divert the water from the land, as
the open drain prevents improvement
of the property and may be injurious
to the public health. The mayor as?
sured Mr. Moise that tt was the pur?
pose of council to do this work as
soon as it can be reached.
I Mr. Moise on behalf of Mr. Jenkins
and other property owners asked that
the water system be extended in the
j southwestern section of the city for
j protection from fire of the many build
I lngs recently erected In that section.
I The matter was referred to the Com?
missioners of Public Works.
Mr. Moise for Messrs. J. H. Archer
and Geo. M. Zeigler asked that their
I license tax as money lenders be re
I duced on the ground that the license
I of $100 Is excessive and not reason
I able as required by law. And out of
I proportion to the license on other
I lines of business. Council declined to
I reduce the license.
j W. T. Andrews Invited council to
I attend a lecture on 18th instant by

Mr. W. B. Costin asked permission
to build a fence at the rear of his
store on Liberty street, within the fire
limits. He was informed that the fire
I limit ordinance does not forbid
I fences.
The following report from the Sew
I erage Commission was read and
I adopted.
I To the Honorable, the City Council,
I of Sumter:
I Gentlemen:?The Sewerage Com
I mission elected by you April 3rd,
I 1907, have finished the work assigned
I to them. Their term of office has
j therefore expired and they now de
I sire to be relieved from further duty
I or responsibility. The magnitude of
I the work accomplished has far ex
I ceeded our expectations and the cost
has been much greater than was an
I ticipated. Notwithstanding these facts
the city has profited by our method
j of construction In three important
J particulars. 1st. We have saved not
less than $16,000 over the lowest con
I tractors bid. ?2nd. We are assured
J that the system is much superior to
J those which are constructed by con?
tractors. In this connection wo would
say, that no necessary expense has
J been spared to obtain the best results,
though at the same time we have
been careful not to spend a dollar
that was not considered necessary.
3rd. By our method the city has
boon enabled to make valuable Im?
provement of streets, by using the
clay and refilling the trenches with
sand. How much this incidental im
I provement i3 worth, we have no
means of computing. In addition to
I these benefits, all supplies in connec
I tion with the system were purchased
in Sumter, so far as they could be
procured in the local market, and our
merchants received the profits of the
trade.
That mistakes have been made, we
do not deny, but we have been gov?
erned at all times by a sense of duty,
and have done the best we could to
perform the arduous task imposed
upon us. Whatever these mistakes
may have been, we feel sure they
have not been more numerous nor
more serious than are commonly
made In such undertakings. Unfor
seen difficulties and obstacles have
arisen all along through the work.
These had to be overcome and entail?
ed much labor and cost.
Sixteen and two-tenths miles of
sewers have been laid at an outlay
of $87,377.23. In addition to that
amount there is a balance of $6,14 7.
30 (not Including interest) due for
pipe; making a total cost of $93,524.
53. We have a quantity of pipe,
tools, pumps, etc., left over, which
will be of use to the city, and which
we ask you to take off our hands and
give the Sewerage Commission credit
for their value as shown by an inven?
tory to be made. This credit will re?
duce the cost of our sewerage system
to about $92,0000.
In conclusion we extend our thanks
to council for the hearty manner in
which they have cooperated with us
in this most important and costly en
te: prise ever undertaken by our city.
Respectfully submitted,

In accepting this report council
adopted a resolution of thanks to the
retiring commission for the valuable
service rendered by them
The following claims approved by
the Sewer age Commission were order?
ed paid: City Water Works, $382.61;
Brailsford & Co., $27.50; Durant
Hardware Co., $5.25; Booth-Harby
Live Stock Co., $92.89.
Minutes of Feb. 23rd, were read
and confirmed.
The mayor pro tern stated that he
had not signed the Ordinance to reg?
ulate Driving Droves of Horses and
Mules through the streets, but had re?
served it until Mayor Boyle, who had
suggested its provisions, should have
an opportunity to see it.
Mr. Barnett for the Finance Com?
mittee, reported that the clerk and
treasurer's report for February had
been examined and found correct. And
that all claims referred to them had
been approved.
The Committee of Public Works
submitted report of superintendent of

take some action in reference to fire
equipment. Postponed to next meet?
ing.
Mr. Bultman for the Opera House
Committee stated that the switch for
lights as now proposed would cost
$100 and was authorized to have It
installed at that price. He also re?
ported that his committee advised
against payment of the First National
Bank's claim of $104 for plumbing.
The report was adopted.
Mr. R. F. Haynsworth of the Fire
Station Building Committee stated
sickness and absence from the city
had prevented him from calling the
committee together and was granted
further time.
Mr. Ligon for the Police Committee
presented report of lights not burning
in February. And police report for
February as follows:
Arrests, 85; fines, $328.50; days la?
bor, 360.
Mr. Ligon suggested that some rule
should be made as to the number of
days vacation and sick time which are
to be allowed to each officer annual?
ly. And thought that the present al?
lowance of ten days vacation should
continue, with an additional ten days
for sickness. And in case an officer
should be absent and sick for more
than twenty drys, he should not be
paid for such additional time. This
suggestion was adopted. The Police
Committee was authorized to pur?
chase summer jniforms. They are to
decide upon the price.
Request of Mrs. C. R. Gregg for
permission to improve her residence
within the fire limits, was referred to
the Fire Departmnt Committee with

Kansas City. March 8.?Missouri's?
two-cent passenger and maximum*
freight laws were nullified* by a de?
cision handed down today in the Un?
ited States District Court by Judge
Smith McPherson, of Rod Oak. Iowa.
As a result, it is believed there will
be a quick return in Missouii to three
cent fares. Frank Hagerman, for
the eighteen companies involved, as?
serted today that the decision sound*
ed like the death knell of the two
cent rate in every State in the Union.
Judge McPherson held that both
the commodity and passenger lawn
were confiscatory and unconstitution?
al, and Mr. Hagerman declared that
it is not conceivable that if the two
cent rate is confiscatory in Missouri,
it can be compensatory in other
States. The State on the other hand
declared emphatically that Missouri's
fight for lower rates will continue*
Elliott W. Major, Attorney General,
was in court today when the decision)
was read, said an appeal would be
taken and the present Legislature
would be asked to pass new rate laws
that would stand the tests of the
courts. Governor Hadley made a.
similar statement.
