Committee Has Arranged for Mooting In Early October?Building Better Than Festival The executive committee of the Y. M. C. A. are going to make an effort to secure a building for the work in Sumter. There is demand for an as? sociation, and experience has dem? onstrated the fact that there can be no permanent success without a suit? able building owned by the associa? tion. The committee has arranged for a mass meeting on some Sunday afternoon in October. The exact day will be announced later. At this meeting the work will be presented by experienced speakers but no con? tributions will be solicited. In discussing the ways and means to begin this enterprise, the commit? tee made comparison of the public benefit to be derived from a Y. M. O A. building and from a Fall Festival, with the result overwhelmingly in favor of the building. They therefore make bold to suggest tnat the festival be postponed for the present and the money placed in a Y. M. C. A. build? ing. A permanent investment will thus be made which in their judgment will be of great and lasting benefit. Very respectfully, CM. HURST, Secretary. Sumter, Sept. 10, 1909. City Schools.

Farmers' Bank *> Trust Co. The statement of * the Farmers' Bank and Trust Co., which is printed today, Is. a mile atone-in ths upward and onward progress of the youngest of Sumter'e banks. The statement It? self, when-subjected to careful ana? lysis by an . accountant I or banker, shows that the bank Is In sound, healthy and growing condition,, that, the officers of the bank- hare reasoa to be well satisfied.. But- It Is only by comparison that the real and unusual progress that the bank has made In itttk P**f ? can be graphically shewn. 'The'statement shows deposits of 1327,357.34?>pn, Sept. 8. 'Ot, the deposits were only 1231,931.18. The loans and discounts now amount to $451,846.39?against $371,665.37 one year ago. The cash resources?cash In bank and due by other banks?ag? gregate $81,826.12 against $56,039.73 on the same date last year. These fig? ures show growth along all lines? healthy growth and rapid growth. The establishment of *the branch banks at Summerton and Plnewood are other evidences of the growth and progressive policy of the bank, but the branch banks, as yet have contribut? ed nothing to the growth and strength of the parent institution, not having become self-sustaining. In future they will probably do their full share toward the extension and enlargemem of the parent bank's business and re? sources, but up to date all growth is to the credit of the home bank ?0 0<i "Men may come, and men inay go," But The Mutual Life Insurance o>. < iocs on forever.

Simon Mickens and another negro man were killed by lightning Friday afternoon while riding on a wagon load of cotton, which was being car? ried from the fleld to the gin house on the farm of Mr. T. H. Clarke, * near Mecharticsville. Another negro who was lying between the two, who were killed, was shock? ed and burned but escaped serious in? jury. Two white boys, the *ons of Mr. Bradley, who were riding on the wagon escaped unhurt. There was an unusually severe electrical storm throughout that section Friday after? noon and many telephone poles on the Sumter-Bishopville line were splintered. At Mr. W. D. Fraser's place a team' of mules were frighten? ed by the lightning and ran against the frame work of the gin house shed, knocking it down. The shed fell on top of the mules, but they were not killed, as a wagon with rack, which was under the shed supported the weight of the wreckage. A family tree is of no use to the lumber dealer. Col.
