of these exerclsss In Sumter.
At a meeting of the Board held on
Thursday afternoon at the Hampton
school Mr. E. I. Reardon. the Manag?
ing Secretary of the Chamber of Com?
merce, presented from the Board of
Directors a petition, signed by the
free-holders and qualified electors of
ctty of Sumter, requesting that an
lion be held to determine wheth?
er or not bonds to the amount of
$10.000 should be Issued to Increase
facilities for education In Sumter and
to provide for additional teachers.
The Board has set the election for
June the Sth.
The Board wishes to make the fol?
lowing Improvements In the school
buildings of the city:
first: The heating, ventilating and
sanitary system of the Washington
school Is nearly a sjuart?a- ..r a cm
tury old. Several sanitary experts
have made a critical examination of
this plant and. while all or them
havs expressed agreeable surprise that
the system should have lasted for so
long a time, all are now agreed that
It should l>e completely renovated.
Second The sanitary systems at
the Calhoun and Hampton schools, as
modern ss was possible at the time
when theaa two buildings were, tract*
ed. should be mom mixed.
Third Improvements that am Im?
perative are to be made at the Lin?
eal n school.
Fourth The Hoard feels that it is
exceedingly fortunate to bo able to
purchase at a reasonable Injure a lot
that ts not ..nly at the centre of pop?
ulation and adds so much to the lot

Fifth There sre. within thirty

of sll schools show that, when the
enrollment reaches a thousand. It then
begins to grow very rapidly; but. If
there Is no more thnn the natural In?
crease, additional school room will
be needed next year. In the Wash?
ington school this yen there were
about three hundred gsOfl pupils than

this, they wlnh at the same time to

way what these young ladles ought to

that the people wish their children to

WILL NOT BUILD ELEVATOR.
Facilities for BtsiMmlng of Grain Croi*
Not Yet I*rovlded.
The Chamber of Commerce has
been notified that the Atlantic Coast
Line Kailroad company does not see
its way clear to erect a grain ware?
house at Sumter. This notice comes
as a great disappointment as the
commercial organisation had reasons
to believe that the railroad company
would build this granary.
This announcement serves to com?
plicate the already embarrassing po?
sition the Chamber of Commerce finds
itself in oecftuse every possible ef?
fort has been made and all possible
means exhausted to make Sumter a
grain market.
The business men of Sumter woulo
not put, up the money to erect a dour
mill or grain warehouse. Ju.-?t what
will l?e done about furnishing a mar?
ket at Sumter for the thousands of
bushels of oats, wheat, and corn to
hi offered for sale Is an unsolved
problem and a rather serious situa?
tion.
Chamber <>f Commerce committees
and directors and officers, and the
Sumter newspapers have tried In
every conceivable way to have mar?
keting and manufacturing facilities
created in Sumter for the surplus
i.iiin crop, i?ut without avail.
It puts hundreds of farmers In a
dilemma, and if the surplus grain can
not hi marketed at Sumter. a serious
blow will hi delivered at future dl?

The members of the Manning-Wes

Methodist church were the guests of
the Westeyan-McLcod Hilde class of
Trinity Methodist church of Sumter on
Sunday, between fifty and seventy-fl vc.
of the visitors having come up on the
morning train or in automobiles t0
spend the day. The occasion was a
very pleasant one for both classes and
much interest was manifested at the
meeting, which will be the cause for
harder work being done in both towns
to increase the size of the classes.
About the first of the year the Wes
leyan-McLeod Hible class of Sumter
land the Wesleyan Hible class of Man?
ning began a competition to see which
would have the largest membership
by the end of the year. The contest
was keen and close for awhile and
then the Sumter class began to grow
with leaps and bounds until now it Js
nearly double the size of that of its
competitor. Yesterday there were
about three hundred local membera
present and with the large number of
visitors made the class attendance
the largest which has yet been had
Mr. Charlton DuKant of Manning,
leader of the Manning class made the
address on the Sunday school lesson
ai.d a fine talk it was. The class met
at jMB, just after the train from Man?
ning arrived and at the close of the
lecture, the class formed in line and
proceeded to the tabernacle, where
they listened to the Hob Jones revival
services. The class formed at the
church and marched up Liberty street
to Washington, thence to Calhoun and
thence to the tabernacle, about three
hundred and fifty being in the long
line of Hible students.
The visitors from Manning were
dined in the homes of the members of
the Sumter class members and again
in the afternoon they attended the
Bob Jones revival services, leaving on
the afternoon train and in automobile?
lato in the day for their homes at
Manning.
The occasion was something new
for Sumter and proved a very pleasing
event. It is probable that the two
classes will In the near future arrange
some other plans for their mutual cn?
tsrtalnment, which will encourage
present Interest and hr the means Of
creatii g more interest in the clt
work.
