There Is a little "Want Ad'' In this issue that Is In Its way the biggest thing printed In a Sumter rewspaper within a twelve-month. Reference is had to the advertisement, of the W. B. Boyle Co. for 121 or more hogs within the next week. There has heen com? plaint on* and on all winter that there was no market In Sumter for the sur? plus hogs that the farmers of the county had for sale. The W. B. Boyle Co. have succeeded In fading a mar? ket for Sumter ounty rslsed hogs snd If they can get the bog? to supply the market they have found It is rea? sonable to conclude that a regular market may be established and an out let found for all I he hogs than can be raised In this section. There can be no market whero there is no supply, and the chief obetscle In the wsy of developing a market for cattle and hogs In Sumter hss been the scarcity of ths supply. In ye&re past there have Hot been enough cattlo and hogs raised hereabouts to supply the local markst and even the supply that ex? isted has bsen Irregular and not standard lo quality. It Is to b? hoped that the effort of Mr. lloyle to estab lleh a market for Sumter county hogs will eucceed. Much hits been hoard about need of a market?now Is the ttms to demonstrate that there Is supply. in tmi mil asm, COAST LINE CONDUCTORS MAY REFUSE TO WORK UNDER IT. Mr. CUrk Says ta Par Cent, of 465 Members of O. R, C. Are Strongly Opposed to White Method of Audit w That the conductors of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company will de? cline to work under the White system of auditing their accounts as outlined by the management of the company la clearly indicated, according to Mr. M. W. Clark, third vice president of the O. R. C, who has just returned to Wilmington from a trip to Wash? ington, D. C. Reports of a referendum vote of all of the syiitem have been practically completed and .the indications are that ?6 per cent of the conductors a e in favor of rejecting this method of au? diting, which was made effective by the management of the company Jan uary IB. Mr. Clark said last night that t here was no question that fully 95 per cent of the 415 conductors of the A. O./ L. were in favor of refusing to work un ler the White Audit system. While Mr. Clark declined to comment on the statement made public by President J.< R. Kenly, of the Atlantic Coast Line, it ie understood that a com pre hensive statement, presenting the conductors' side of the controversy, is being prepared and in due season will be made public All conductors of the ompany have been fully Informed a* to the points at issue, between the ?ompany and its employes. The ad lustment committee of the A. C L* conductors will return to Wilmington nett Sunday with the ballots cast by he various local organisations of the X R. c, and after the ballots are canvassed, Anal action will probaly be aken early in the coming week. Mr. Clark declared that as a result >f the referendum vote taken by the ionductors affected by the new audit ng system, it was a certainty that ha conductors will back up the com nlttee in whatever line of action it Inally decides upon. In exp alaing the attitude of the sonductoie, Mr. Clark declared they sere perfectly willing to submit to accounts being audited by bona fide employes of the railroad, but art un?> ?Hllng to accept, all the methods in? corporated in the White system; espe? cially objectionable to the conductors, ie pointed out, was that feature ef the tystem w ilch requires the conductors o be followed through a train on ?Uich thtiy have been running lor a ong ported of years and on whioh all heir friends travel, and be chocked by ?mployes of a foreign concern who ire seeking to make a record. The conductors have been holding tonferencee with the Coast Line offi? cials for the past several weeks, but it the last conference held no ta*la aotory adjustment was reached: and he conferences were suspended. An adjournment was, therefore, taken in >rder that the questions at issue night be submitted to a referendum ote of the individual members of he various locals to ascertain their viahes in the matter. All refusals of ompany to make certain modifications n the avdit system were put before he members of the locals by some nember of the adjustment commlt ee who was present at conferences leid with the officials of the com >any.?Wilmington Star. fanperaitce Lecture by Mrs. Woech.
