AGREE TO CLOSE EARLY.
All of the Jewelers of the City Agree
t<> Close at six O'clock.
To the Jewelers of the city belongs
the honor of taking the Initial st< p
towards all of the stores In the city
dosing at six (?'dock. The question
of closing at six to begin the lirst of
April was taken up some time ago by
s? v< ral merchants but nothing de
ftntte was done In the matter. Hera
tofore it has been the custom to close
n\\ stores at six o'clock beginning at
the first of Mas and continuing until
the first of September,
This year a departure from thai
custom was talked Rbout by several
merchants In the city, they having
thoughl that early closing to begin
the first of April was not a bad Idea,
ill of the merchants would agree
to the proposition, but no action was
tai- n In the matter because no o.;~
wouln take the initiative to circulate e
petition for that purpose or go
around to the various merchants in
the city to get them to < lose early.
The talk to this effect was among
the merchants who 1 OW keep their
stores open later than six o'clock .
Now' conies a statement from all of
the jewelers of the City that hereafter.
beginning April ist, they will close
their Stores at six o'clock. Much cred?
it belongs to them for their initiative
and it is probable that other stores
will fall in line in the next few
days.
The jewelers who have signed the
contract that they will hereafter close
at I o'clock, beginning April 1st, are.

Mr. J. w. MoKelver and MaJ. W.
L, Lee returned from Greenville
Saturday after examining the various
kinds of street paving that were be?
ing laid at that place. They were
much pleased with the work that
was going on and stated that it was
a pity that all of Sumter's streets
could not be paved In the same man?
ner. At Greenville it la incumbent on
the owners of the property adjacent
to the street to pay one-third of the
cost of paving, the remainder being
paid by the city. Thi? is for all
street paving that is done and unwil?
ling citizens can be forced by law to
pay their part of the cost.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL,
Poster and Encourage The Love of
Flowers by the Cliildrcn.
Editor Daily Item.
Tin- writer asks for space In your]
columns to extend his congratulations
and good wishes to the members of
the Civic Leagu? , and also to predict
tor them a large measure of success,
tor the Inauguration of a movement
to Induce tin- children t<? cultivate
flowers for it is very certain that they
could not devise any plan that will
i<e of more benefit both to the city
and to its people individually.
"hero can be no Question of the
fact that when it comes to the cul?
ture of the beautiful w< are far be?
hind the cities and towns of the
north and for this to he the case is
simply a reproach to our people.
Some years ago the writer received;
a h ttcr from .< gentleman in Boston |
in which he stated, in connection with
this subject, that everything that
taste could suggest and that money
could purchase was used to adorn
the city and that it was a good invest?
ment simply from a financial stand?
point. <>wing to our milder climate:
it Is much easier, and costs less, to
beautify our cities and towns than
those in the Northern part of the
country. The only thing lacking be?
ing our Indifference and a want of
appreciation of how helpful the cul?
ture of the beautiful is mentally,
morally and spiritually. An individ?
ual may have wealth, be well educat?
ed and have high social position, hut
if that man or woman does not love
am appreciate the beautiful they lack
genuine refinement and this deprives
them of such a large measure of en?
joyment that, no words can adequate?
ly describe their loss.
Encourage the children lo culti?
vate Mowers is beginning in the right
way, for the mind of a child is both
receptive and plastic ond impressions
made in youth will remain through
life. Then too, when they grow up
and leave their homes to take their
place in the world's work they will
take this love for the beautiful with
them and mike it a blessing and an
inspiration to all with whom they
are thrown.
Encouraging children to cultivate
(lowera will have a good effect on the
grown folks, for a great many of them
are very much remiss in this respect
and this will be a gentle reminder to
them that thev ought to take pride
in beautifying iheir yards, Sumter

yard was too email to hold any llow'
I
ers, what there was of it was shaded
by some good sized trees, but there
was room for some magnificent
palms and ferns and a very fine spe?
cimen of the Norfolk Island pine. If
all the householders of Sumter would
follow the example ? f 4* >vn<
this little ...ttage it .voubi soon be
kown as the City Beautiful. There
;t. etiler places worthy <. r fa ntion
lack of space forbids the men?
tion of but two others that tho writer
used to admire, one on East Calhoun
and the other or. Broad street.
In this connection the writer would
like to suggest that there ought to
be a Civic League in every country
neighborhood, organized for the spe
cial purpose of encouraging the cul?
ture of flowers at the homes of the
members and for improving the sur?
roundings of their churches and
schools. If a prlSS w? re offered for
the most desolate and ugliest place
the decision would have to be made
between the grounds of a country
school and a railroad station, that Is
if the competion was only open to
South Carolina.
The only criticism that can be
made on this movement on the part
of the Civic League is that of fur?
nishing free teed, for while there
would be fewer competitors the re?
sults would probably be better if the
children were to furnish the seed
themselves, but the main thing is to
get them Interested In the culture of
dowers.

County Clerk of Court L. I. Parrott
Monday received a telegram stat?
ing that Judge DeVore was sick in
bed and unable to come here to hold
court. He was further instruct?
ed to adjourn court from day to day
until he heard to the contrary.
All of the .iury eases to be heard
at this time of the civil court were
wound up last Friday, but there are
a great many of equity cases on the
docket here which Judge DeVore was
to come back Monday to hear. His
sickness, however, prevented his com?
ing and court will be adjourned each
day until his arrival. ?
The A. C. L. railroad is now finish?

crossing just east of the railroad sta?

long needed and will be of much
service to vehicles desiring to pass at
this crossing when passenger trains
are in the yard.
