Publicity. ,
Immediate y upon taking up thl.
work, vour secretary established re?
lations with the Isrger commercial
bodies of the country. Many of theee
bodies publish monthly or weekly
bulletins * hi h keep us Informed of
the progress being made In these
cities. Letters have been written and
psjbltshad tn the great trade Journals
of the country. Theee letters are
factors In advertising tl. I State,
county and city. Really successful
advertising and publicity, however,
can not be undertaken, to any gr>at
extent, until the proper basts has
been laid for a fo||ow-up system.
There must a ways be the data, facts
and literature and the ability to de?
liver the goo.In. The past year I
been one of preparation and we are
now ready to launch our campaign.
The Sumter ' .Idee has been careful?
ly prepared and will bo mailed and
distributed In all parts of the coun?

every iniulr\ ind we believe that wo
have th.? goods ready for delivery.

It wo ild be well for every man who
may i ontemplute making this trip to
be prepared beforehand with Infoi-'

home town and county. Ho is ce tain
to be asked questions concerning the
South and this State that will atnazo

vertising within tho last two \enrs
SJ never bfJife, and investors an I
prospective p ?ttlers living in other
parts of the country are anxloui to
learn nlng the opportunities
here offered. If this State and sec?
tion desires to receive Its share of the j
results of the. publicity, no time
should be lost. The spec'al advantages
thereof must be presented and In no

men living In sumter today who do
not even know of the goods being

This Chamber Is working to encour
njjc d 1 v <folflcotion and rotation of
Oropc. Tho problem Is a difficult one
but it W our firm opinion that It -an
be Bo'ved by the establishment Of such
industries as will encourage the farm?
er t?? diversify. Fortunately such in?
dustries do not demand the outlay of
any great amount of capital. Sumter
hOUld have and I believe will have
within tho year, a canning factory and
a county fair and perhaps a ?orn ele?
vator and grbt mill. The effort that
N being made by the City National (
Rank of this city to induce the farm?
ers to diversify might well be copied
by othorn. i
While the defeat of the proposed!
b ?nd issue for good roads was on its!
fo .. ;\n apparent set back, yet the dis?
cussion of this pjrnnt gucntlon by the
voters of th? county must eventually
hear fruit. If this county Is to re
c ive its share of the progress that Is
moving the entire South, it must not
neelect this es ilnl factor. Sumter
should be the leader rather than a
f dlowot In this respect.

For many years the South had the
raw materials and the north the fac?
tories. This condition is rapidly
changing. The time Is rapidly corn?
ing when tho South will not only
manufacture all that It needs, but)
will ship its manufactured goods to'
all parts of tho world. Hardly a day
nasse? but that some new factory Is
heing established In the South. Fach
elty has Its peculiar difficulties to
overcome In securing ihe <.? ntion of
new factories, but a united effort and
willingness to sacrifice a few present
OOmfOrtS lor future gain will accom?
plish wonders In this roSpocL One
factory brings SJIOfhor. Personally 1
believe In the small factory, establish?
ed with local capital and I believe In
the city with many small dfforsttl d
industries, ra'her than in the eity
founded upon one single large in?
dustry. Sumter has mado splend'd
progress during the last year In the
establishment of the Rowland Rugey I
lory and the Sumter Shoe Manu- j
facturlng Co. Tf loyalty supported by
local capital, they are both sure to
trow and proepey ami to add ma
terlalty to the wealth of the commu?
nity U? well as being the nucleus for
others of like kind.
The Sumter Oas plant is an as?
sured fact. I am reliably informed
that work on the plant will .dar with?
in two weeks. The total Investment
In this plant will amount to about
ITIttee, ail of which is outside capital

she has five hanks and ono trust com?
pany with a total capital of $670,000
and total r 'sources of almost $3,000,
000. During tho year the Dank of
Sumter has increased its capital from
$?75.000 to $200.00. The City National
Dank from $25.000 to $150,000 and
the Sumter Trust Company from
$25.000 to $50,000, or a total increase
for the year of $275,000. Our banks
realize tho demands that are soon to
bo mado upon them because of the
rapid development of this section and

It has never been our policy to
make predictions without some good
solid foundations upon which to
make them. The man, however, who
oan not be optimistic in the face of
the facti and who can see no bright
promises for the coming year, needs
s< methlng stronger than facts.
Baaing my estimate upon solid
I 1 its, upon oontracts that have been
dosed or upon expendlturea that
havt already been arranged for, Sum?
te* win have received in cash for
Improvements, bulldlnga, railroads,
etc , before the end of next year, over
one-hair million dollars. The Bea
boird will alone expend within the
county between $130,000 lo $150,000,
To this sum mac be added. $1,0,000
for the City National Bank building,
$100,000 for the new hotel Including
the coal of the i"t. $75,000 upon the
? s plant, $40,00 for tho new Metho?
dist church, $25,000 for the Bank of

Monday afternoon f<>r the second

in a mistrial, with Mr. 1 >. D, afotOS

The case was one of those worked
up by the negro detectives hired by i
the city. Elsie claimed that she had
never seen the detective, while the
detective told of having visited her
and how he bought the whiskey. Mr.
McKagen testified to having sent th ?
detective to the house and having '
seen him knock at the door. Wit?
nesses were put up by the defense to
show that Glanton, the detective, had
told other parties that he would
"turn them up" if they did not pay
him $2.00.
The jury after tho hearing of the
evidence returned a verdict of guilty
and the recorder imposed a sentence
of $100 or 30 days on the Fr?ser wo?

ey deposited therein. If you had
called my attention tt, this matter as
Mr. Wilson did Governor Aueet'l at?
tention. I would have immediately,
upon the filing of your report on Feb?
ruary I, 1911, ordered that proper
proceedings bo instituted to protect
the interests of the county and State.
I consider your failure in this matter
dereliction of duty, and unices you
can give a satisfactory . xplanation I
would advise that you at once tender
your reglsnation as State bank ex?
aminer, and save any further un?
pleasantness. We do not want in this
State carelessness or negligence in
office; ignorance is no excuse. I
would also be giad if you would ad?
vise me why you did not act in ac?
cordance with Section 2.351, new Code
of Laws of South Carolina, when you
found the condition of the Lexing?
ton Savings Bank, one year ago.
Very respectfully, Cole [* Blea*e,
