< mm- this Week?Wool Denote in
Bmm
Washington. June 4.?The flnate I
committees' report of the reciprocity
bill to the Senate will feature the be?
ginning of the third month of the ex?
tra session of Congress. The hear?
ings, which have continued almost a
?month, will close tomorrow or Tues?
day, and on Wednesday the commit?
tee will go into executive session to
determine its disposal of the bill.
Chairman Penrose Is confident the
committee will reach a vote before
adjournment Wednesday, In which
event the bill would be reported
Thursday.
Once in the Senate, the bill will run
a gauntlet of speeches and amend- 1
menu. At least thirty Senators ex- I
pect to address the Senate In oppo?
sition to the hill. No one counts up?
on less than six weeks of debate.
With the Presidential contest only
a year off. there Is a general dlspo- I
sltion to play for position. Despite I
Democratic and Insursent Kepuhll- I
ran persistence. Mr. Penrose predicts
passage of the bill and an adjourn
ment of the extra session before
August 1.
In committee the most serious con- I
filet pr??hab|y will m cur over the
amendment of Senator K >ot, wlth
holulng the application of the agree?
ment of wool pulp Imported free
from Canada so long as local or pro- I
vtnclal restrict! ?ns are placed upon Its
exportation. As a rule, this restric?
tion is opposed by Democrats and In-I
surgnts and favored by regular Re*
publicans. The opposition If. on the
ground that It would be SOOTf dr-istic I
than the present law.
Friends of the Administration are
urging reporting the bill without any
dlficatlon. A favorable report is
not expected from the committee. In
deference to the President's wishes,
many Republican Senators will re?
strain their opposition to the extent
of permitting the hill to go to the
Senate without recommendation, hut
they will reserve the right to oppose
the measure In open Senate.
The Lorimer case will receive re- I
newed attention in the Senate during
the week if ?ommlttee on privileges I
and elections carries out the "gen- j
tlemen's agreement" for the selection
of s special committee of eight to I
consider the case.
Names of the Senators designated
would he sent back to the Senate f or I
confirmation, making a reopening of I
the whole case possible.
Tomorrow Senator Pomerone Is to I
call up and speak to his resolution I
directing criminal proceedings against I
the officers and directors of the Stand- 1
ard Oil and American Tobacco com- I
panics.
Tin? Senators' popular elect on bill I
is still the unfinished business of the I
Begaste and will he voted eg June
In the House the debate upon the I
wool tariff will begin W^edresday.
What the House will do after this Is
uncertain. Nothing will th?n he he
fore It and the ways and mean* com?
mittee may enter upon the revision
of the cotton schedule. Democratic
leaders however, are somewhat dls
pgfjgi r . postpone sctb n until the
Best session. In that ca o the House
will adjourn from time to time while
awaiting the action of the Senate. <
House committees will continue*
active throughout the summer and
possibly autumn. This week a spe?
cial committee will begin probing the
affairs of the American Sugar Refin?
ing Companv.

INDEXING WORK COMPLETED.

January i, HMM? to Preten! Time
According to Cott Family Name In?
dex System.
The work of recording the indexes
^f the deedi end mortgages recorded
in the office of the county clerk ac?
cording to the Cotl Family Name In?
dex System, as agreed upon with
Walk. r. Bvani A Cogawell ?'..., of
Charleston, has been completed, In?
?pooled and accepted and the young
ladies who have been d dng the work
will leave the city Wednesday.
The contract to have the new sys?
tem installed was made sometime last
January with Mr. Thorpe, the agent ->f
Walker, Bvani & Cogawell Co., and in
February Misses Bobbin, Ratcllff and
Wllburn were sent here by the com
panv to do the work. Miss Bobbitt
was placed in charge and with some
assistance from ladies of the city
the work was pushed rapidly for?
ward to completion. Saturday mark?
ed tho last day of work for
the young ladles, at which time
the work was passed upon and
accepted. /
The new system which has been in?
stalled will save much tim*' to those
wh-> have to look up titles to deeds
and mortgages hereafter and will In
time to come save the county much
money. Heretofore, about every ten
years all of the Indexing had to be
done over as the books used became
t~>o small for the number of names
filed. This called for an expenditure
of a considerable amount of money
every ten years for the rewrittlng and
relndexing of the records, which of
course In a number of years amount?
ed to a large sum. Hereafter the rec?
ords Will b,- kept in loose sheet books
which ,when they become too large to
handle, can be divided into two or
rmvre books, which can he easily
handled. The indexing will all be
done hg the county clerks and will
tie done as the nanns are added to
his files and the deds and mortgages
recorded.
The cost of the work to make tho
new system was something over $1
100, much less In Itself than at any
other time In several decades when the
Indexes had to be rewritten. The
method has been adopted by a large
number of counties In this State and
means a great deal of saving of time
for those who have to look up the
records, and of money for the county.
Misses Elizabeth Bobbin,* Mary
Ratcllff and Alice Wllburn, the young
ladies who did the work, have made
many friends while they have been In
the city and will be missed after their
departure. Miss Wllburn left last
Monday for her home In North Caro?
lina and Misses -Bobbitt and Ratcllff
will leave Wednesday.
Mr. J. w. McKeiver, chairman of
the committee on securing manufac?
turing enterprises for Sumter, stated
thi.* morning that he had Tuesday
raised $1.000 from four public spirit?
ed citizens of Sumter towards get
lng the desired site for the buggy
and carriage factory which will be
erected here if the city pays for the
site. It Is reo.alette that the citizens
nf Sumter raise the required amount
for, If they do not, the city
and Chamber of Commerce will fall
down on the first chance to get a fac?
tory plant to locate here. If the first
?ffort to set a factory here falls short,
nther atempts to get such enterpris?
es here will also end in failure, for
It Is always the beginning that sets a
standard for the town.

HOW TO OBTAIN SAN ITA It Y MILK
Clcmaon Extension Work?Article
XLTV.
Very few of the consumers of milk
give much thought as to where the
milk they drink comes from or un
d.r what conditions it was pr tduced.
So long ms it has no had color, taste,
or sna il they drink and are satisfied.
if the purity of milk c?uid be
judged by the above standard) the
milk inspector would have no work
and there would be n > such office. It
Is a sad fact, however, that such a
standard will not hold good as milk
may have no had taste, color, or ordor
and yet he very dangerous to the
health. Many of the outbreaks of
typhoid fever, scarlet fever, dysen?
tery diseases can be traced to the
milk supply.
What then Is sanitary milk? It is
milk that is produced by healthy
cows, and which is handled in a
cleanly manner from the time it is
drawn until it is consumed. To be
healthy the cow should not only
show no outward signs of disease,
but should give no reaction when
tested for tuberculosis. She 3hould
be kept clean and her udder should
be washed well before each milking.
The milker should milk with dry
hands and not follow th bad prac?
tice of dipping the fingers into the
milk while milkinp. The milker
Should not be allowed to har lie tho
milk at all If there should be a case
of contagious disease in his home.
A3 soon a3 the milking is finished
the milk should be removed from the
barn and at once st/alned through
a good grade of cheese cloth. If It
is to be sold at retail, It should be
cooled and bottled. If It Is to he
kept for home use, It should be put
aside In as cool a place as possible
and away from anything that has
much odor. Milk will very quickly
absorb the odor of meat, vegetables,
etc., if kept near such.
Especial care should be given at
this season to the milk that is fed
to babies and children. Much of the
stomach troubles could be av >ided
'f only clean milk was given them to
drink.

MR. Woods on CITY SCHOOLS
He Think* Thai People of (i<;
Should V?>t<; for Extra Tax Levy.
Sumter has a number <>f thing:
that arc creditable to its people, bu
I if tin-re is any one thing in whlcl
tin y ought to take special pride, it i:
tht lr pslendid, and this word is use<
advisedly, graded school system, foi
the assertion may be safely made tha
it has very few equals and certain!}
no superiors, and if they have any<
thing like an adequate conception 01
what this means for them and for the
future of their city, they will see tc
it that there is no halt in the work 01
these schools from the lack of mon
ey.
After the clear and concise state?
ment, concerning the needs of th<
schools, made by Mr. Manning, even
tax payer ought to vote for the ad
ditional levy and more If It is need?
ed. It will be well to have in mine
that it takes years of hard, intelli
gent, conscientious and oftentimes
unappreciated work to build up sucr
a line working system of schools, anc
to let them retrograde for lack 01
money will be a lasting reproach t<
the people of Sumter and a lastinf
injury to the material interest of theii
city. As Mr. Manning very truly ant
forcibly said, in his admirable ad
dreOS, "This Is an age of educatior
and no town or city can afford to b<
behind in this great work.' Then too
it is an age of competition, and in th<
race for supremacy, Intelligence wil
j always win over ignorance, for i:
I knowledge be power, then ignoranct
I stands for weakness. In fact then
is no way of computing the cost o:
Ignorance, but every dollar spent foi
education wdll be an investment tha
v ill return a very great harvest it
the way of gain, material mental am
moral.
Then too, it is well to remembe:
that th:-re is no such thing as stand
ing still and this truth applies wltl
special force to educational work
Notwithstanding the present fine con
dition of the schools there will al
ways be room for Improvement, am
these improvements and advances
like alT other good things, cost mon
e\ and the money ought always b<
forthcoming when it is needed t<
carry them on. The individual wh<
did not feel proud of the recentl;
grduatins ?lass is a pretty bad com
bination of selAshrtCse ^nd ignorance
Sumter is not a l.ew place, but i
town with a histor , and an honor
able on at that, at J this being thi
case makes It all th.? more incumben
on its people to ex^rt themselves t(
the utmost to advance its interests it
? very possible way, and if they wil
just look out for the schools the oth
or things will, in a very great meas
lire at least, look out for themselves
The writer takes special pleasur?
i in saying that parents who wish t(
lend their children to a first clasi
school, that is people who live out
side of the city, can do no bettei
than to send them to Sumter for tht
moral and religious influences there
are as good as can be found in an>
place in this or any other State, am
they, the children, will be sure t<
make friends wl ere there are s<
many big hearted. hospitable ant
cultured people.
