URGE COOPERATION.
At last Monday's weekly meeting of
the directors of the Sumter Chamber
of Commerce .together with a num?
ber of Sumter's public spirited busi?
ness men and Sumter bankers, the fol?
lowing preamble and resolutions in?
troduced by Messrs. W. A. Thompson
and 8. U Krasnoff, were unanimously
adopted and ordered published .after
being heart My seconded In short talks
by Messrs. Nelll O'Donnell, R. B. Rei?
ser, H. J. McLaurln, Jr., C. G. Row?
land, W. B. Boyle, G. A. Lemmon, and
Secretary Hear don:
Whereas, It is of great importance
that the farmers, merchants, bank?
ers, wage earners, and manufacturers
of Sumter county, and the State of
South Carolina unite their forces and
influence for the purpose of preparing
for the approach of the cotton boll
woevll.
And Whereas, We believe that di?
versification of farm products accom?
panied by the "Buy at Home" an?i
"Live at Home" practices among both
our city and country people are es?
sential in any plan of preparedness <
against serious commercial, agrlcul-^
tural, and Industrial depression with ,
consequent depression of values of
both city and country property.
Now, Therefore Be It Resolved:
That we urge farmers, merchants,1
bankers, and all of our business men
to get together as often as possible
to study the situation, discuss and
formulate plans to meet the ?ituatlon
which will he brought about by the |
approach of the cotton boll weevil, |
and to bring home to every farmer
adn land owner the absolute neces?
sity for preparing In advance for the
radical chance In farming and busi?
ness methods and pratices which the
arrival of the boll weevil will neces- j
sltato. I
Resolved Further: That to this end
we urge that the neople of the coun- j
try attend the moetings from time to j
time for the purpose of considering1
the measures of preparedness to be |
taken, and hearing the addresses of!
agricultural authorities on this sub?
ject.
That the people of the city take
v>art in the booster trips which are
hereby endorsed by the Sumter Cham?
ber of Commerce as tending to
r n.;,thCn the pleasant and friendly
relations between the people of the
city and country. ,
That we believe that Intelligent co?
operation between farmers and the
business men of the city can work out
a system of diversified farming, with ,
markets to tuko care of the dlvcrsl-1
fled farm products which will suc?
cessfully meet the difficulties which j
on the arrival of the boll Weevil will
face the farming and business inter- j
ests of our territory, and which after
S short period of rearrangement of
our farming practices will bring
greater prosperity to our farmers,
business men, and wage eurncrs than
they have ever heretofore enjoyed.
Wc urge the cooperation of all our
people to that end, for only by united
efforts can we hope to escape the dis?
aster which has overwhelmed all oth?
er sections of tho cotton belt with the
approach of the cotton boll weevil.

TO REVIVE CREDIT BUREAU.
President J. Z. Hearon of the Retail
Dealers' Association is going to make
one more strenuous effort to renew
interest among Sumter's business es?
tablishments in the credit bureau sys?
tem.
This very Important branch of the
Chamber of Commerce requires cnly
three things to make it worth what
the Chamber of Commerce costs the
business men of Sumter, and many
times more, namely:
1st, interest in the bureau. .
2nd, reporting credit standings by
filling out credit rating blanks.
3rd, using the bureau for securing
information about credit standings.
tary took charge the interest in the
Retail Dealers' Association Credit Bu
reau was practically dead, and the bu?
reau feature was not used to any ex?
tent. ,
Pifesident J. Z. Hearon, just after
his election as president, with the for?
mer and first president, the late la?
mented Mr. J. H. Levy, made person?
al Vi8ists to each business establish?
ment member and left credit bureau
blanks to be filled out and returned
to the secretary's office, besides ap?
pealing personally to the heads of
firms to use this bureau and to make
regular reports. Cooperation was
promised, but given In only a few In?
stances. The bureau Is now In ex?
istence and used to financial advan?
tage, but not as it could be. The cred?
it bureali feature can save thousands
of dollars annually to merchants and
consumers by largely eliminating the
"dead beat," and by educating the
buyers to the value of prompt pay?
ment of accounts.
But only the members who wish t?>
make use of this bureau, and no one
else can possibly make this depart?
ment what it ought to be. If the
merchants will use it, report, and
ask for reports the credit bureau de?
partment is a valuable feature. But
no one can make a merchant or a
book-keeper, or a manager report and
ask for reports. It is the use that is
made of the bureau, and the interest
taken by the members that make it
valuable all to seller and to buyer.
Promise after promise has been made
by merchants and book-keepers, but
no matter how much they are press?
ed they somehow never seem to get
ready to fill out the blanks.
If It is underwear, see us, for we
have it and plenty of It. All kinds.
