DIXIE BRICK POPULAR.
New Stylo Brick Made by Sumter
Brick Works Take Well Witli Ar?
ch ltects.
The people of Sumter will be sur?
prised, and at the same time grati?
fied, to learn the success the Sumter
Brick Works Is making with their
new "Dixie" brick. This brick, al?
though the same colors and *?hades
as the Sumter Greys, Is made with a
rough face instead of a smooth one.
The brick are made smooth first and
then the face is cut with a wire to
give a rough surface like a brussels
carpet or piece of tapestry. This
rough surface absorbs light Instead
of reflecting it. thus making a soft
pleasing effect. The original tapestry
brick bring $25.00 per thousand,
but the "Dixie is being sold at a
much lower price and Is finding fa?
vor everywhere it has been shown.
Besides this it offers a better surface
to mortar and plaster.
Mr. Ryttenberg has Just returned
from trips to Wilmington, Charles?
ton. Columbia. Every architect in
each of these cities recommended the
"Dixie" most highly, some imme?
diately specifiylng them on Joba in
their office. Th* reporter saw or?
ders for shipment of large quantities
to Charleston, Darlington, Columbia,
Beaufort and Greenville. The two
last being unusually long hauls for
brick with other brick yards so much
nearer.
The Immigration station at Char?
leston, to he erected next month, has
"Dixie" brick specified for the front
and sides.
Thin plant in addition to its new
equipment has Just purchas?
ed a new locomotive to haul clay In
place of the present hay burners.
Five years ago It was an old plant,
turning out twenty thousand brick a
day. Now it Is a modern plant that
make* forty thousand, and they sell
all they make. As Sumter consumes
only about one-i*ourth the output It
can be readily seen that Sumter dirt
brings good money back to Sumter.

THE LAST VjTES WILL BE
Still Time to Get in Some Val
ing Friends Given a C
Aid of the Candii
be Gladly
The beginning of the end, and what
an end it will be! A glorious finish
to the greatest newspaper contest
ever held in this section. The can?
didates are working today with
redoubled efforts and from now until
10 o'clock tonight their efforts will
be tripled, quadrupled, manifold, In
fact a hundred fold, if you count the
work being done by friends. ?Jutt
to illustrate: This morning a lady
slopped at the office and paid a
year s subscription to the Item. She
s.iid they had already subscribed for
two years in advance, but made it
three straight, to help a candidate
w ho has'a good chance to win. The
Item has been a regular visitor to
this family for years and they like
it so well that they say that they
will likoly take it for generations.
Candidates themselves will determine
i
the winners by their work. It is a
working contest because you must j
work to get subscriptions. The
grandest prizes ever offered are the
rewards, yet ihey are the rewards of
hard work. The hardest workers
will win the piano, parlor suite, and
gold watches.
Nobody wants to be a good lo3er
unless they find it impossible to he
a good winner, therefore, don't waste
one single moment thinking what
you would do if you should lose but
take every precaution to assure
yourself a place among the winners.
We wnnt every one to come in to
dny with a big bunch of subscrip?
tions. Those who do will have bet?
ter chance of winning.
All Over at 10 O'clock.
It will he all over tonight but the
shouting. That can not come until
the last vote Is counted and record?
ed for then only can a decision be
reached?and without a decision what j
is the use of shouting? There is
no telling who will do the shout?
ing. The contest manager doesn't
I
know, neither does any one else, j
Rumors of what such and such a
candidate may have in reserve will be
rife today, hut they should he treat?
ed merely as rumors.
A candidate may know what she
HOTEL COMMITTEE TO GET TO
WORK.
Expect to Hold Meeting of Commit?
tee in the Next Few Days to For?
mulate Plans.
From The Daily Item. July 19.
. was stated today by Mr. J. K.
Crosswell, Chairman of the hotel
committee, that although the hotel
committee had not done anything up
to this time in the way of raising
subscriptions for the proposed hotel,
(?wing to press of private business,
the committee would have a meeting
some time In the next few days,
probably tomorrow, when a plan of
campaign for the raising of subscrip?
tions for the hotel would he formu?
lated. As soon a'ter the meeting as
possible the committee would get to
work and would make a diligent can?
vas of the business men in the city to
raise the proposed amount for the
hotel building.
Much Interest has been taken by
the public in the matter and it is
probable that the news that the ho?
tel committee Intends doing some?
thing in the near future towards get?
ting the fund for the hotel started
will meet With general approbation.
The promoters of the Columbia
Sumter direct highway announce that
as soon as the cost of opening the
road and establishing the ferry shall
have been refunded to those who are
advancing the money the road
and ferry Will be turned over to the
county or the state as a public high
way.
Circulation of Silver and Gold.
Wot every ton of gold In circulation
there are 16 tons of silver.
True Optimist.
The real optimist is ihe man who,
seeing his train steaming out of the
station, Just aa he arrives, remarks
gently: "Well, anyway, I almost

Switzerland Is to have a national

that n<? one else knows. Some who
<lid nut appear to be in it earlier in
the contest may before right nave
enough votes to give them a winning
position.
Day of Rumors.
In every contest of any size there
are a great number of groundless
rumors rife, and experience teaches
one to disregard them.
Rut for the benefit of the mex
pei lenoed We may say that the final
day seems to have the same effect
on rumors that the first warm day
has on budding flowers, they simp?
ly hurst into bloom. If you should
not hear some very surprising tilings,
that would be more suprising than
anything you can possibly hear. To?
morrow you will be laughing at the
reports which the results will prove
untrue.
The Vote Will bo Heavy.
Most every candidate is holding
back a lew votes, some of them
more than others. They have been
waiting until the last ^ay. It is now
here, all the week the contest man?
ager has been issuing votes on sub?
scriptions which contestants have
taken home to add to their reserve
fund. While the vote exhibit in the
standing today seems large to 3ome
of the candidates, there are others
who have something up their sleeve
for the last moment who realize
that several hundred thousand votes
will be necessary to win either of the
capital prizes, and probably in the
I district prizes. Come to the Lyric for
[the result and for a surprise in the
size of the vote required to win.
Ploaso Come Farly.
Votes and subscriptions will be
[received at the Lyric up to 10 o'clock
I tonight, and not one minute later.
It should be borne in mind that there
will be many crowding us, all with
the same idea that they can be wait
I ed on ''immediately. If you put off
until evening to bring in your sub
I scriptions you will ha ;e to do a lot
of waiting yourself. This Is the last
word. The contest positively closes
at 10 o'clock sharp.

Appropriate Recreation.
An author, whose work is imagina?

logical, such as playing patience. An
accountant, on the other hand, whose
mind will run on figures, should not
play patience. He should mold fig?
ures out of clay or paint or do some?
thing artistic.
