Commercial and Savings Hank Adds Modern i onwnicncc to Us Hquip incut. The Commercial & Savings Bank In keeping abreast of the times hoi add? ed a new Burroughs ledger and post? ing machine to Its'office equipment, n labor saving device which In time and work will much more than repay for ltt< It in less than a year. This is the Urs! machine of its kind in any husi 11 ess house in the city, but it is a machine which banks especially have found convenient and have been in? stalling all over the country. The new machine is a posting ma? chine for ledger and statement work. It is operated on the same principle as a typewriter, but h usefulness lies in the fact that it can do by machinery as fast as the lingers and hands can move, work that it would take the brain much longer to do. The; instru? ment is a wonderful piece of machin? ery, whose beauty consists in the fact that it is absolutely accurate ami the book>keeper has not the same worry as in doing the work by head and not by hand. With the new machine the accounts of depositor! are kept in duplicate, in the ledger and in state? ments which are issued to the deposi? tor monthly, Instead of resorting to the former method of balancing up each individual pass book at the end of the month. The sheets being loose are merely taken from the ledger con? taining the statement and new sheets for the new month take their place. In fact everything that the book-keep? er ordinarily would do is done by ma rhine, and to make matters still more simple, the machine is operated by the mere pressing of a button, as an electric drive is attached and this makes the Instrument move automati? cally, almost, as well as add and sub? tract.

Posters Being Used Extensively?Ap? plications for Premium Lists, Etc The Slimier Chamber of Commerce is sure advertising the approaching fall horse, svino, and cattle show to be held in Bumter on October 13th, 14th and 15th. Secretary lieardon has put out hun? dreds Of pretty window signs on enameled colored pasteboard with the appropriate picture entitled "Hesi? tation" engraved thereon, and has also distributed many hundreds of the envelopes among the business houses advertising the coming show. These envelopes are much in de? mand. The window advertising pic? tures are also very much In demand by parties who want them to decorate their bonus with, but the supply is limited and requests of this kind have to be reluctantly refused. After the horse show there will be a great many of these pictures which may possibly be secured for home use by applica? tion to the mercantile houses where the pictures are being displayed. Applications for premium lists are coming in rapidly to Secretary Geo. D. Shore, of the Sunder Horse Show Association, at the Commercial and Savings Hank, and a number have been received at Chamber of Com? merce. It is desired that all applica? tions for premium lists and rules gov? erning contests be made to Secretary shore so that the contestants may be entered on the official lists and the ani? mals properly Classified by depart? ments. The interest being displayed In the approaching horse show as well as the cattle And swine exhibits is gratifying indeed. Hundreds of Sumter people who do not contemplate entering the contests are very much interested and are proud of the fall show. The riding contests are eliciting greater interest than any other depart? ment so far among the younger folks. There are four clauses in horseman? ship one class each for ladies, gentle? men, and boys and girls under fifteen years. There are four prizes in each Of these classes. Contest will be on horsemanship alone. The grand aggregate of cash prizes for the combination event of horse, mule, Jack, pony, colt, cattle and swine exhibits is more than $1,200, be? sides many other premiums of a de? sirable kind. it will afford a great deal ot picas-; nr.* in thousands to know that the' Ehl bfind will furrifsh the music during the show. _ wins th11' to KXPosrnox.
