You Say You Want Them. Do 'You? Hardly a day passes but ono can hear on the streets of Sumter the statement. "What we want in Sumter is more factories." Is the man who makes that atatement really in earnest? Does he mean it? Is he J willing to pay the cost? Is he wll- j ling first of ill to take off his coat and help push up the city so as to mike it inviting for factories? Is he willing to help pay the taxes for street Improvements, for pavements, for sidewalks, for better fire protec? tion and generally to help pay for those necessary improvements that will bring factories, invite capital, entertain visitors and commercial men und properly house and care for the labo* that these factories will employ. Nothing Is worth while hav? ing but that will cost you something. A man stood on the observation car of a Pennsylvania railroad flyer on his way :o Chicago passing over the mountains In Pennsylvania and was heard to utter the sentiment that he would like to have been the engineer who built that road. He little thought of the years of study that the con? struction of such a road had meant. He little dreamed of the lives that had been lost In the bul'dlng of that road, of the days of toll and hard? ship and labor. The man on the street wants factories but Is he wil? ling to make the effort that is need? ed to secure them. He sees a fine, prosperous factory in some city that may employ hundreds of hands and he wishes that he had that factory in his home town. If he would dig down deep Into the story of that fac? tory, he would find one man or a ?croup of men who were willing to take some chances and who were willing in Invest their savings in that undertaking. He would find years of hard labor and effort and worry on the part of the men who built up that factory. Some mem Imagine that all a Chamber of Commerce has to do Is to Issue an ingraved invitation to such a factory to move to their town and the factory will move at once. As a fact, with but a few exceptions, fac? tories rarely move unless they have been failures In theolr original loca? tions. These few exceptions of the successful moving factory are rare snd there must *?<~?mp v*rv serious reason of such removal. Wh n they do move it -Is with tha most careful j ii ?estlg^Uo'O of the legality in which tt.?y may decide to lo- ute nod when tbst locality demonstrates that it will subscribe to at least a portion of 'he ? npltal or aid In other so Potential waya Unqueetlonahly the best plan for the establishment of local factories Is to build snd develop with local cap? ital such factories at reason and in? vestigation demonstrate will pay and which the local needs and the sur? rounding trade territory demand. Factories established in this manner rarely move away. They grow with their terrltcry and are usually solid and consen atlve. They secure strong local support. These are the sort of factor!?* that have built cities. It Is not necessary that the management he obtained from local sources. The j proper skill often needed to manage ?uci? a faclory must be obtained else jwhers. There are plenty of men throughout the land who have been successful managers who have no financial Interest In the factories in which they are now employed and which thev are helping to build who are willing to Invest their savings In such a factory, provided they are given the opportunity of securing a bstantlal Interest therein and a greater Interest as the factorv grows. Hut the organisation and financing of such factories demands local in? vestment. The business men must be willing to sacrifice a few present pleasures and sometimes to strain his credit If such factories are to be started In Sumter. He must have tho sort ??f vision of the future that has ?>ul It our great west. It was the vision of the forefathers. The shoe may Pinch today but the walking will he good tomorrow. You say you want factories, are you willing to aid in se? curing them? Hit; MTOMOHII.K SHOW AT AT? LANTA. I,aru? -t Automobile Show F.vef Held In South to Come Off at Mlanta February 10-17.

IRA WILLIAMS' TRANSKEI MAY DEVELOP SOMETHING. Well Informed Man at Washington Declare* Itter? Will be Startling Developments in Future. Washington, Jan. 5.-*-It is rumored here today that a big sensation is in store regarding the transfer of Ira W. Williams, Stata demonstration agent in South Carolina, and that during the next week or two some? thing very much out of the ordinary may be looked for. A man who Is familiar with the situation satd to The State's corre? spondent today: "Something is going to break in thi3 matter before long. I know enough about it to say that much. I am not at liberty, however, to tell what 1 know." When told that Bradford Knapp of the department of agriculture had said that he would name a successor to Mr. Williams when he had found the right man for the place, this party further stated that people in South Tarollna might look for an explosion at that time or possibly before. Un? derneath the surface, he said, a small sized revolution is brewing and when it breaks It will be a very interesting situation. As already stated, Mr. Knapp is not yet ready to say who is to succeed Mr. Williams and will probably not make any announcement in the mat? ter for seevral days. The situation, on the whole is most interesting, and something spicy may be loked for in the very near future. WANTS NEW BUILDING. Fllerhe Looklg After Dillon and Marlon. Washington.
