The London Statist, for In? stance, calls It a notable phenomenon that the extraordinary ease In the money markets of the United States bee enabled New York to assume the part hitherto played by London und Paris in temporarily linaiiclng coun? tries In difficulty.

Methods Successful at Panama Might Work Here. Without question the ability of science to exterminate the mosquito, given the proper paraphernalia for that purpose, we venture to suggest that It will not do to argue success In New Jersey and on Long Island j from the achievements reported from I the Isthmus of Panama. Contrary to the prevailing superstition, the mos? quito Is not at its best as regards numbers in the tropics. The insect prevails there as tn Vera Cruz, Ha- i vana. Bio and other far southern lo? calities, but he gets more numerous and more ferocious as one travels north, and in Alaska and Siberia be? comes an actual menace to human life. To rid the canal zone of mos? quitoes was easy compared with the project of the scientists in this re? gion. On the Isthmus, in Vera Crus, Ha? vana, and other tropical and semi tropical districts the mosquito is sel? dom seen in such vast clouds as tn various places near New York. The insect is not nearly so numerous !n the tropics aa in New Orleans, where seme years ago the local authorities triumphantly announced its final ex? termination and where subsequently it appeared in myriads. It Is doubt? ful whether the measures that have been so successful on the isthmus, methods which have never been re? laxed for an instant, will bring about similar results In these parts even If it be feasible to adopt and practice them. We do not believe that the system established by Colonel Qor gas In the canal zone would be ef? fective in this neighborhood even if its application were feasible. He had , comp*rhtively few mosqultov* to deal jwlth and unlimited means at his dis j posal. We have them *>ot only in 1 bewildering number* bui of myster? ious origin and h'ihits There are many collateral fallacies In connection with the mosquito. One ? will solemnly announce to you that the mosquito can not propagate wlth . out water. Another will say that It can not move more than half a mile, though that limit has been extended lately to five miles. This would go to show that If you destroy the breeding places, abolish water bar? rels and tin cans and the like and persuade every neighbor within a radius of five miles to adopt similar tactics you at leant would be exempt It Isn't true. We know of houses that were closed, say on June 1, the water turned off, the screens put in and the windows closed. These houses were left In that ^ondtlon un? til early October. No mosquitoes could get In or out Nevertheless when the premises were thrown open four months later, mosquitoes were there In greatly Increased numbers, doing business at the old stand and making life a torment as before. A f-?w years ago, after a mosquito cru? sade In Orange. It was boastfully an? nounced that the pest had been elim? inated. The following year mos? quitoes appeared In countless swarms, and the leadei of the once triumph? ant crusade fled forever from the set? tlement and betook himself to more promising neighborhoods. Do we really understand the mos? quito? To base a hypothecs' upon] the alleged success of Colon? Gormas ir. Panama seems very problematical. The local scientists say they can do the trick if provided with the neces? sary means,, and possibly they may. But what assurance have we that their postulate Is correct? How do we know that the methods which ap pesr to have been successful in Pan lama will fit the needs In this vicin It.?New York Sun. A Correction. I?r. A. B.

VERICT AGAINST A. C. L. Dr. C. P. Osteen Wins Suit, Getting $1,000 Damage. The case of C. P. Osteen vs. the Atlantic Coast Line Hallway Com? pany for damages Incurred during the shipment of live stock from Siimter to Robblns ended Friday when the Jury returned a verdict of $1,000 for th plaintiff. Of this amount $100 was actual damages and $900 punitive damages, on account of the railroad having violated the law re? quiring prompt delivery of live s;oc^. In this instance the horse was tn transit nearly forty-eight hours with? out food or water. The verdict in this case against the A. C. L rallraod makes the fourvh which has been returned against the railroad company during the week. Shelley Lawrence got $11,500 of th< $25,000 sued for; . R. Geddings sued for $25,000 and got a verdict for $5,000 and J. W? Jackson got ? verdict of $238.95, the full amount sued for. It looks rather ugly for the Jonn ? oats In the h<?use of representatives to announce that they are going to do away with the "rule of reason" In the supremo court.

He and His Wife Bruised and His Buggy Broken. A few evenings ago Dr. Birnie and his wife met with an accident that almost proved a serious one. They were returning from the country along Liberty street and in the dark the horso ran upon a big pile of clay placed in the street near the east Liberty street railroad crossing. Dr. Birnie stated that there were no lights on the pile of clay at the timo and that he had no reason to sus? pect that it was there until he felt the buggy going upon it and then turning over. Both Dr. Birnie and his wife were thrown out and con? siderably bruised, but they were not seriously injured. The buggy was broken to pieces and left in bad shape. It was learned that the dirt had been placed in the street on each side of the crots1r,s, a pile of cMrt being on each side of the street. The fact that there was no light upon the dirt or anything to keep vehicles from running upon it or to let them know it was there seems i ? lu< 6 rStflrOSd enmnanv liahl? for negligence CHAMBKR Ol OOMXERC1 IfOTEfl The greatest aids 'n the op-build? ing of any city are the local news .?papers. They are the mouthpiece of the community and of the com? munity organizations. In this respect the Sumter papers have been more than loyal in their support of local organizations. Their columns are always open to any movement for the Improvement of conditions and for the encouragement of home indus? tries and business. They need the support of every true ""Booster/* Sumter people subscribe largely to the State papers and thus indirectly support the merchants and the ad? vancement of other cities. During the State Fair which le in fact a great carnival for Columbia and is a great aid to Columbia business men, the Columbia papers carried columns prior to the fair in the pure "Boost? ing" of Columbia and Columbia busi? ness men. This is only rfght and proper inasmuch as these are Co? lumbia papers and they are expected to "Boost" Columbia. But this means the diverting of thousands of dollars from Sumte? that would normally be spent here. When Sum? ter has any spec' 1 day, however, as In the case of the Bargain Day on Thursday, the 2?rd, wg must depend almost entirely ami the merchants of shunter must always depend upon their local papers for publicity. We should therefore use every effort to encourage our own local papers and thus encourage local industries. ? es The Legislative Committee met at the Chamber Monday evening, at which a number Of very Important matters were considered.

Charleston, Nov. 18.?Tha annual smoker of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce held last nght with more than two bundled representa? tive business men and a number of invited guests present. Addressses of a practical, yet in ?ing nature, the closer knitting to? gether of the cooperative spirit In Charleston, and the exhibition of several reels of moving pictures show? ing what Charleston is today,, social? ly, commercially and industriahv, j were the features of the the meeting.

Garrison, manager of the Clemson station at Jedburg, Secretary A. V. Snell of Sumter. and President E. W. Dibbs, of the Farmers' Union. The News and Courier reports Mr. Mr. Snell's and Mr. Dahbs' speeches as follows: Secretary A. V. Snell, of Sumter. formerly connected with the Oklaho? ma City Chamber of Commerce, who spoke to the Ad Men of the city s-?\ eral monthes ago, was next ca!'.ed upon to speak to the meeting. M<*. Snell's subject was "Co-operation." I He looked at his subject from all angles, speaking on team work, unity, the spirit of get-together, pull-to? gether and virile and lasting co-oper? ation between each city and town In the State. He stated that no city was able to do a thing properly all by itself, and that with the he'p of its sister cities it would not only achieve better results, hut would be able to do them in one-tenth of the time. Mr. Snell showed that every com? mercial organization in the State and every city within its borders was watching Charleston and was begin? ning to believe in the work being done here, not only for the betterment of local conditions, but for the ad? vancement of the whole State. He believed that South Carolina needs new blood to show her farmers and business people what great things can be done In the way of seizing oppor? tunities and advancing the interests of the whole commercial and indus The lasr. speaker * the V'-n!ng was Mr. ,K j^v. Dabba president of the State Partners' Union Mr. Dab - made a very plain-spoken eddeses, but his speech was well received, nevertheless. He believed that while cotton was king in this section of the country, yet it was the worst sort of tyrant. He spoke earnestly on the conditions prevailing today in this State and the marketing conditions relative to cotton and other crops. He called these marketing conditions a joke, but believed that co-operation and unstinted backing by the business men of Charleston and other cities in the State would correct these conditions in an astonishingy short time. Mr. Dabbs stated that the union betwen the business man and the plain, practical farmer of the CRYING FOR HELP. Lots of it In Sumter, But Daily Grow? ing Less. 1 The kidneys cry for help.

New York, Nov. 1 '..?The recent activity and strength of the securities of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company, in the Baltimore .market have given rise to rum rs of an early dissolution of the Seaboard Com? pany, which controls the railway. At the local offices of the Line no con? firmation was obtainable, but cre? dence attaches to the rumor in bank? ing circles. An informal conference of Seaboard interests was held here today, but it was stated that no action looking to the dissolution of the holding < pany was taken. Should action b< termined upon, the first step w be the retirement of $6,360,000 preferred stock of the Seab Company.
