Thursday afternoon and Friday
? noming the subject of discussion
teerywhere on the streets was that of

who hoard it told every

Hs hae' . >thlng whatever to say In

tafred a it the report verified It at
^ allowed a copy of th > pa
?h he tendered hia reslgna
seen. He said that he had
-ther to say than what was
is letter of resignation.
M?n> rsons thought thst Mr.
fssinings had scted too hastily In the
I aattsr and would regret what he had
loae when It was too late. The f;e??
era! opinion being, however, tha. he
^had scted wrong In the matter, as
be had stated at the Council meeting
that be did not wish Council In its
vote to consider h*e personal feelings
and tbhat he hsd resigned because
hs had taken the thing as a personal
affront. Instead of almply as a mis?
take In Judgment on his part. Many
thought that th?< mayor had a con?
tract with the elty and that he was
as much duty bound to serve out his
m of office as was he was bound to
mil his contract with the Germania
teelegs fi nk. Others thought that
? mayor was tired of his
gf and *was only waiting
use to get rid of his of
attributed any Mario- tu
or to the finance commit
her membora of ?'.?uiull,
?red a dlff ? gf ophv
e reloctlon of the Mayor's
ouiicll as small excuse up
the mayor should think
that his self r?sp.-et required his
rignatbn
The matter Itself upon which the
isyor baaed bis resignation was as
dlowa: Mayor Jennings was by a
dutlon of Council Instructed to
Itrk with the finance committee
th an Idea of getting cheaper g*sa>
for tro- rtty. Mr. Jennings cor
iponded with various parties with
its Idea in view sr d finally succeed
In Interesting th* Oermanla Sav?
in** *?ank <>f ('harbaton In th?< prop
Itlon and gfl r t\lklng with a rep
itatlve of that bank over the
hone for some time he secured tie
?a ?i the aartv <> wb^h** w*i*
liking; to put up tho money?$25,
00, ?at 6 per cent discount until the
>otea became due In December. Mr.
ennlngs in his conversation staled
hat he would take the money, sub?
ject to the action of the tinance com?
mittee, and unless he wired the bank
that night otherwise, the contract
was closed. He stated that be would
consult with tho chairman of the
tinance committee or the whole com- I
mlttee during the day about the mat- I
ter and see what action they would!
take. He lat?r saw Mr. lt. I. Man?
ning and ask-d him if he could get
any cheaper money fcr" the city, I
telling Mr. Manning that he had al?
ready secured the desired amount at I
6 per cent, but that he would bo j
glad if he could get any money
cheaper. Mr. Manning stated that he I
would try to do so during the day I
and let Mr. Jenn.ngs know what he
had done. j
Mr. Jennings lat r on in the day j
telephoned Mr. McLaurin, chairman]
of the finance committee, what he j
had done and Mr. McLaurin said that
he was In communication with a
party whom he thought could get J
the money even cheaper than 6 per I
i nt. He said that this party was!
Mr. Manning and Mr. Jennings said j
that he had already told Mr. Man?
ning about the matter and what he I
could get the money for. Mr. Mc- I
1. aurin later stated that he did not 1
understand the part of this conver-1
nation as to the rate per cent at which I
Mr. Jennings was to get the money. J
Still later In the day Mr. Jennings I
ww Mr. Marining who stated that as I
It was so late in the season the party
with whom he had exchanged tele- J
grams could not let the city have the J
money at a rate cheaper than 6 per J
cent. Mr. Jennings and Mr. Mc-j
I .aurin then discussed the matter I
again and it seems that Mr. Jennings
understood that Mr. McLaurin was I
satisfied with getting the money from I
the Germania Savings Dank, as well
as from the Baltlmoro concern I
through Mr. Manning, at the same rate I
of Interest and consequently he did I
not telegraph the Germania Savings
Hank that the contract could not be
closed.
The next day Mr. McLaurin broach?
ed the matter to Mr. Jennings, ask?
ing him what he had done and Mr.
Jennings stated that he had not wir?
ed to the Germania Savings Bank
and consequently the contract was
closed with them. Mr. * McLaurin
then stated that he did not think
that ih ? had till authority to e!f?se
the contract In tills way and he him?
self was not willing to do so. He
'?ailed a me- ting of the nuance cum
mitte?? for thai day and it whs de?
cided by them on a vote that the
money ought to be taken from the
Baltimore concern In preference to
the Charleston bank. Mr. McaLur
ln stated that he had understood Mr.
Manning to say that he could not get
the money at a cheaper rate than 6
per cent this year, because It was so
late in the season when it was ap?
plied for, but he would be able to get
the money next year, If It was bor?
rowed from tho same concern, at 6
or possibly 4 3-4 per cent discount.
It was upon this showing that the
vote was taken at the meeting of the
finance committee and Mr. McLaur?
in and Mr. Wright voted to get the
money from the Baltimore concern.
Mr. Booth, the other member of the
eommlttee. did not vote..
Mr. Jennings was not satisfied with
this settlement of the matter and
despite the protest of the nuance
committee took the matter up before
Council Tuesday night at its regular
meeting. Here the matter was
threshed over again. The principal
difference being between Mr. Jennings
and Mr. Mei.uurin on the statement
made by Mr. Manning. Mr. Jen?
nings said that Mr. Manning had stat?
ed that he could get tho money at t>
pat cent this year and possibly at 6
or a lower rato next year, while Mr.
Mcl*auriu argued taht Mr. Manning
had aald that he could get tho mon?
ey at ?i pat cent this year and at 3
percent or possibly 4 3-4 per cent
anal year, if the city desired to bor?
row more money ihen.
This matter being duly heard Mr.
CuttUtO moved that the action of the
Lyor be sustained by Council. Mr.
M< K' Iver aeeundod the motion, but
When it was put to a vote these were
the only two members of Council to
vote for it. Tho motion was then
made by ? member of Council to ac
? ? pt the Bioney from the Baltimore
one rn through Mr. Manning and
*f< sari Wright, Booth, Glenn, Ubame.
McLaurin and Wilder voted for It.
the mayor's action being thus set
aside by Council.
During the discussion Mr. Jennings
stated that be <jbi not see how
per eenl money from one place could
be better than I per coal money from
another plane, Members Of Council
-eem, ,| to think, however, that It was
bast to borrow the money from the
northern source with the promise of
I lower rate of din ount OOXl year,
If they borrowed It. Mr. Jen?
nings al luted that he did not wish
Council to consider his personnl feel?
's in the mattter at it was purely a
matter of bu.dnesa and the personal
.it ton ??hoold **'av r n
voting of the member! of Council.
He said that he could tlx the matter
allrlght with the Germania Savings
Bank, so not to let his personal em?
barrassment enter into the matter.

FINE PROGRESS MADE.
( OMMITTKKS WELL STARTED ON
WORK OF RAISING $5,000.
Sumter Business Men Show Pine
Spirit and Subscribe Liberally to
Chamber of Commerce.?Work to
IW, Pushed Hard.
The two committtees appointed to
solicit subscriptions from the busi?
ness men of Sumter and all persons
Interested in the growth of Sumter
and the securing of a live secretary
to run the Chamber of Commerce
started out on their work Friday
morning with determination to win
and they were not one hit disappoint?
ed in their alms. Everywhere they
found the spirit of progress prevalent
and nowhere were they refused or
turned down.
At some places tho person sought
simply to ask how much they wanted
or expected of him and when he was
told he went down in his jeans and
pulled it out without any words about
it. He was ready to give and he was
willing to give whatever the commit
tee thought he ought to give. Of
course, not near all of the business
men were seen nor were all of the
(inns visited, yet more than $1,000
was subscribed and most of it was to
he turned in at once. Before noot
more than $500 in cash had been pu
up by those who were prsent at the
meeting Wednesday night and others
have the money ready to give it when
the committee calls on them.
Those who were seen during the
day promised to send in their checks
for the amounts subscribed at one
and it is probable that when th
week Is over the money will nearl
all be put up In cash to back the
progressive move being made by th
Chamber of Commerce.
The committee has divided itsel
Into two divisions and those division
set out Friday morning with the Idea
of seeing as many persons and firms
in the business section of town as
they possibly could. They went out
again in the afternoon for the sain
purpose and met with equal success
Almost all of the firms and the in
dividuals called on have subscribed
liberally.
The committee set out with the de?
termination to raise a fund not less
than $6,000 in one week and their
work Friday indicates the successful
realization of the undertaking.
The two ? on tntttees a: work Fri?
day were composed of the following
men; in one comngUtce were: Moesri
h. i Manning, d, p. Moles p. r
McCallum, Jr., J. H. Chandler; in the
other committee were: Messrs. Nell
O'Ponnell, J. R. Clack, J. M. Chand?
ler and W. B. Upshur.
The success of the two committees
working Friday to raise funds for the
Chamber of Commerce may be seen
by the amount raised, the total of
which amounts up to $1,836. Of this
amount the committee headed by Mr.
R. I. Manning, as chairman rallied
i960. The other committee which is
headed by Mr. Neil O'Ponnell, as
chairman, raised $886. The total
cash amount raised Friday up to 6
o'clock was $866. Other cash contri?
butions were promised during the fol?

mainder of the amount contributed.
All of these contributions were In ad?

years I suffered from pains through
