One in the Bethel section, and the other in the Concord section. A great many more milk cows were found in these communities than was thought by farm demonstrator J. Prank Wil? liams. If there were ac many milk cows in all the different sections of Sumter county as there are in these two sections, and if the people had the same attitude towards keeping dairy cattle, it would justify starting up a creamery in Sumter. A cream? ery in Sumter however is only a mat? ter of time as soon as a sufficient number of milk cows on the farms warrant the establishment of the Sumter creamery. An expert from the dairy division of Clemson College will visit these sections the latter part of this week to give definite instructions about feed? ing dairy cattle, and what the people may expect to receive for the cream that will be shipped to the Darlington creamery. The Cha.nDer of Commerce will extend this Clemson expert every convenience and courtesy within its power to assist in the investigations and visits to the two sections in which the creamery routes will be establish? ed. President J. Frank Williams, of the Sumter County Farmers' Union noti? fied the secretary of the Sumter Chamber of Commerce that the crops having been all about gathered for the 1915 season, that the farmers of this county will be prepared to reopen the Sumter Curb Market on Thursday, December 9th, and that they will fur? nish produce on this curb market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays of each week. Mr. Williams says there are big crops of collards, turnips, sweet po? tatoes and quantities of pork and pork products, and turkeys, chickens, and that eggs will soon begin to be more plentiful. The curb market will be on the South side of the Court House square, east of Law Range. All fresh meats brought in will have to be either wrapped up or screened by wire in order to comply with board of health regulations. This doesn't ap? ply to vegetables however, or poultry, eggs, etc. Mr. Williams suggests to producers of beef and pork and pork products, such as hogshead cheese, blood and h : puidingF, etc., hams, ShOtlldSTS, ansage, and als- sellers of buttor, hat *J<store lefpvlng hon.? same bo a igbed and marked, and well wrap? ped in abBoiuteij clean wi pii per so as to be fly and dust proof. If this is done it wid not be neces? sary to screen the vehicle, especially if the fresh meat producta are packed in b?xes or other receptacles after being wrapped and the boxes covered over with clean cloth or other sani? tary 'Aust proof coverings. It might be stated by way of Inf or-: matlon that only where beeves and hogs are to be cut up at the market is It necessary to screen the wagons. Farmers can at practically no ex? pense compared with results In satis? faction given consumers, prepare their meats in dust and fly proof shape to conform to health regulations. Since the farmers have themselves decided, al*ter mature deliberation, and trial that the Sumter curb mar? ket has been a profitable venture, and that it pays for the producers to meet the consumers at a central market place this winter and early spring, it can be reasonably assumed that the Sumter Curb Market has passed the experimental stage, and should be? come a permanent institution in Sum? ter. The farmers of Sumter county, and the consumers of the city of Sumter, in large numbers, have tried out the Curb Market method. It Is practically unanimously agTeed by consumers and producers who have patronized and furnished foodstuffs on the Curb Mar? ket that It Is a good thing. So that the Sumter Chamber of Commerce and the Retail Dealers* As? sociation, representing the organized business interests of Sumter, and the women of the Sumter Civie. League, representing the consumers, the 'three organizations directly responsible for the institution of Sumter's Curb Mar? ket, assisted In every possible way by tho City Council and the local board of health, arid health officer, to coop? erate with the farmers will continue to do their best for tho Curb Mar? ket. Believing in "the greatest, good to the greatest number" and that "equal rights to all and special privil? eges to none" is a sound .naxlm of good government, and opposing rigid? ly anything that savors of a "corner" or "trust" Ih foodstuffs, the consumers of Sumter Will show their friend ;, the farmers of Sumter, l^ee and Clar? endon counties who have offered pro? duce oh Sumter's Curb Market, that Sumter, officially, commercially, and socially believes that what benefits the country benefits the city of Sumter. That when the farmers prosper the City prospers. Therefore tho Sumter Curb Market whlctl divides a considerable percent? age of profit between the consumer and -%he producer, In the meantime keeps thousands of dollars of Sumter county money in Sumter county, is a democratic organization with demo? cratizing influences and profits which encourage the farmers to diversify and to live at home and help to keep home money at home. The God given right to till the soil and produce foodstuffs is the right every tiller of the soil should enjoy. And the right to intelligently and profitably and honestly market that which the farmer produce? can not and never will be denied the pro? ducers of this country. The right of the wage earner te spend his money with the farmer is equally as sacred and will be rigidly upheld. Elimination of middle men's profits between the original producer and the consumer is as legitimate as the elimi? nation of middle men's profits between the retailer and the manufacturer or the wholesale merchant. Common sense business methods between the producer and the consum? er, with economy of direct transaction is as legitimate as good business judgment and practices in any line or lines of business. Realizing that what helps the mass? es helps business men of Sumter, with very few exceptions, Sumter's business men are for diversification and the live at home methods on the farm. With creame/y routes established, and a government creamery in Sumter before very long, with intelligent marketing facilities, and with city and country working harmoniously together for 'the greatest good to the greatest number," there is little room for the calamity howler who imagines that the Curb Market ought to be abolished because it enters into legi? timate competition with equally legi? timate, worthy, and non-producing competitors who live by the farmer and that which i \o farmer produces, liko all the rest of the world lives from the tiller of the soil. Licenses to marry have been issued to E. Murr Hall and Miss Leonora G. Williford, Sumter; and Gleaton Eu? gene Green, Shiloh, and Miss Sallie Robinson, Turbeville. Licenses were also issued to the following colored couples: Peter Cabbagestalk and Daisy Murray, Sumter; Josh Sumter and Hattle Hamilton, Stateburg; Ed. Harris and Margaret Snow, Horatio; Moses Nelson, Jr., and Rosalie Thom? as, Sumter. O'DONNELL SAFE OPENED. Contents Found to Be in Good Condi? tion?Preparing for Business.
