A MARKET FOR HOGS.
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.

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.
A cordial invitation is extended to
he public to attend a lecture to be
icld in the Sunday school room of
Trinity church on Friday evening,
February 18, at 8 o'clock. The ad
iress will be in the interest of tem?
perance, conducted by Mrs. Weooh of
