T. Poiarroy Jfe'Sons Promise New Ice Plant With Storage Facilities. On March 9th, of this year, J. T. Pemcroy & Sons, of Sumter, submit? ted a proposition to the directors of tho Sumter Chamber of Commerce in behalf of a northern firm to establish an ice- plant and cold storage facilities in this city, provided they wore fur? nished a free site and exemption from ordinary city taxes for'five years. The directors guaranteed the free site and exemption from taxes, the latter sub* ject to confirmation by City Council. At yesterday's meeting of the di? rectors Secretary Reardon said he had called on tho local representatives.of the proposed combination plant for a definite statement as to whether this northern concern will deliver the goods in the r.npo of another ice plant and cold storage facilities with? in a reasonable time. He was told that tho northern capitalists would be ready by next fall to begin installing the plant. The secretary asked for a guarantee of the plant in Sumter by tho first of September. Messrs. Pom eroy replied that they would urge their associates up north to try to comply with.this request. In the meantime the directors de? cided to see if some arrangements can be made of a temporary nature with the Sumter Lighting Company to pro? vide cold storage facilities for fresh pork and beef for the farmers of Sumter county, and probably of a per? manent nature on a larger scalo, should the demand warrant same. Messrs. R. B. Belser, G. A. Lemmon, and W. B. Boyle were appointed a committee to look into this matter and report at next week's directors' meeting. VON PAPEN'S SECRETARY CAP? TURED.

Washington, April 17.?The South's early fruit and vegetable crops are so threatened by a shortage of refrigera? tor cars that the interstate commerce commission today Issued a memoran? dum calling thz attention of the rail? roads to the importance of halving a sufficient supply of these cars for the movement of the crops. 'The importance of having refrig? erator cars for the movement of these crops is obvious," the memorandum reads, "and there would be some good reason for diverting the cars which are intended for that purpose to oth? er uses.
