Lai ;w?;c.ru?v .a sThitth ^kii. Lui?i?on
stated that there Is "absolutely no
foundation for the report." The ru?
mor that such a deal would be made
originated In Baltimore and a dis?
patch from that city stating that the
Coast Line would ho purchased was
published in the Savannah Morn?
ing News of Sunday. An Investiga?
tion of the matter on Sunday, as
staed In The News and Courier of
yesterday, indicated there was nothing
tangible in the report and President
Emerson's telegram, received yester?

BARGAIN DAY NOTES.
Money Still on Pole?Big Wagon
Loads of Children?(.reused Pig
Caught.
From The Dully Item, Nov. 23.
One negro muuaged to get suf?
ficiently high or. the greased pole to
secure the oue dollar bill but the
five dollar bill was still dying uear
the top at noon today, de.spito the
frantic efforts of a number of dar?
kies to climb ihu pole.
The wagon carrying che largest
number of children seen up to noon
today was sent in by the Bethel
school. It had on it 4^ children
It is one of the wagons used in
hauling the children to a central
school.
The greased pig was ieloas:-d out
of his box a few minute* before noon
today and was caught by half a doz?
en darkies before he manifested a
disposition to run or to get away. It
was impossible to say who became
the owner as there were so many
with their hands on the pig.
COLD STORAGE PLANT INSTALL?
ED.
Citizens' Moat Market Keeps up with
Advance of Progress.
One of the signs that the mer?
chants of Sumter are keeping in line
of progress are the several new and
advanced lines of goods that they
have put In. The Citizens' Meat
Market, not behind merchants sell?
ing clothing, ready-to-wear garments
and other such paraphernalia, have
shown their desire to keep things in
their market up-to-date by having
installed a cold storage plant.
The plant was ordered by Mr.
Walter. Boyle, the manager of the
market, several months ago, but
has Just been Installed. By its use
the market will be able to have on
hand at all times a good supply of
meat for sale to both the ietail and
wholesale trade In and outside of the
city limits and to all of the small
towns situated in the vicinity of Sum?
ter. The cold storage plant is the
usual sort run by an electric motor
and operated by ammonia which cir?
culates through pipes inside of the
plant cooling the brine solutions
down to any degree desired. The
electric motor is a ten-horse power
affair and at present has to be run
only three to six hours a day to keep
the plant at the proper degree of
temperature. Of course in the sum?
mer when the place has to be kept
even cooler than in winter and it
will be harder to keep it cool, th?
motor will have to be run longer and
oftener. At present the meat will
be kept near the freezing point and it
will be kept clean and nice in its
closed box.
One of the advantages of the cold
storage plant Is Its saving to the
operator. The butcher's ice bill is
generally something enormous dur?
ing the summer time, but it la not in
this that the greatest saving Is
made. The feed bill will be cut down
to a great extent. Heretofore cattle
sometimes had to be kept and fed
for weeks at a time before the
butcher was ready to kill them.
Xow all he has to do when he gets
the cattle up from the farmers anx?
ious to sell, he kills the. animal at
once and stows him away in the cold
storage plant. Also, the butchering
which has up to this time been a
semi-weekly occurrence, will be
converted into a semi-monthly event.
At this time twenty-five or thirty
cattle can be butchered up in a day
and hung up In the plant where they
will be kept in perfect condition un?
til they are sold on the market. The
plant, when crowded, will hold as
much aa forty beeves at one time,
and without crowding will hold thirty
full grown beeves.
The plant Is put up by the Brock
Butcher Supply Company of St.
Louis, whose r prssontStlVS is now
ruttinr on iho finishing touches in
the installation of the plant.

ried a most beautiful armful of Chry?

pastor of the Mt. Zlon church in the
St. Charles neighborhood and was
well known throughout that section.
GOOD CROWD FOR BARGAIN
DAY.
Street Scenes Similar to Those of
Circus Day.
The advertising campaign in behalf
of Bargain Day seemed Thursday
morning to have had Its desired effect
for there was a good crowd on the
streets ready for all of the fun that
was to come and possibly also ready
with their pocket books to secure all
of the bargains that they wanted
during the day.
The crowd came on train and In
vehicles through the country. Tb -
surrounding towns furnished their
full quota of shoppers and pleasure
seekers and this morning it appeared
that the day would be a I !g suc?
cess. The greased pole had not ye*,
been erected, but it was ri;?h' there
to be put up and the greased pig was
ready to be turned loose In the
crowd. The automobiles wars also
on the street In numbers, ar.d prob?
ably ready for the big auto parads at
11:30 o'clock.
