Postmaster Dick
I Resigns
Dr. George W. Dick Who Ha:
j Been Postmaster for the Past
Four Years Out
Mr. T. S. Doar who has filled the
position of Assistant Postmaster of
: Sumter for a number of years under
the administrations of Postmasters
[George D. Shore and Postmaster Geo.
jW. Dick Thursday took the oath of
? office as postmaster and this morn
ing took charge of (lie total office,
succeeding- Dr. Dick whose resigna
j tion as postmaster had been accept
, ed by the department It is stated
j that Dr. Dick tendered his resignation
'several months ago. but no action was
J taken by the postoffice department at
I the time, and the matter has been
j held in abeyance until the past few
| days. An official of the department
, has been in the city for several days j
checking up the postoffice and the.
accounts of Postmaster Dick, and i
when this was completed the resig-1
nation of Dr. Dick was accepted. It {
has not been officially stated yet i
whether the appointment of Mr. Doar
as postmaster is permanent or merely
temporary to fill out the unexpired
term of Dr. Dick. It is believed that
the appointment of Mr. Doar as post
master would give general satisfac
tion, for he is thoroughly familiar
with the duties of the office and is
competent to fill the position efficient
ly and to -the satisfaction of the pub
lic.
The news that Dr. Dick has resign
ed and that Mr. Doar had been ap
pointed to fill the vacancy caused a!- '
most general surprise, for it was
known to but few that Dr. Dick had
tendered his resignation, or that any
change in the postoffice was impend
ing.
Married.
Miss Lois Alethea Reardon, eldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. I. Rear
doa. of this city, and Mr. Rufus A.

South Harvin Street Thursday after
noon at 5c39 o'clock, Rev. W. E.
Thayer, pastor of the First Baptist
:hurch officiating. The marriage was ,
a. quiet affair with only the imme
diate family of the bride present. Im
mediately following the ceremony Mr
md Mrs. Stephenson left for Wash- .
nprton. D. C and other points of in- j
erest where they will spend their
honeymoon. They will reside in ,
Rocky Mount, where Mr Stephenson
las his headquarters as division
uote agent, supervising the railway
?xprcss messengers and numerous lo
:al offices of the Cape Fear Division ,
>f the American Railway Express ,
Company.
The bride is a popular Sumter girl .
iaving been born and raised in this .
ity. and she has numerous friends ^
hroughout Sumter and adjoining
ounties who will learn of her mar
iage with interest. and who will j.
vish her and her husband every ,.
maginable kind' of happiness and j
?rosperity. Mr. Stephenson is well
nd favorably known in Sumter coun- <
y as he was the Sumter agent of the
Southern Express Company for nearly p
wo years before being promoted in j
he service of this company. Numer
)us friends of the newly wedded ,
o?ple were at the depot to congratu- v
ate and wish them z happy ^'mey- c
noon and a long and happ- . ros- .
?erous wedded life. They were the p
ippreciative recipients of many beau
ifui presents from their firends and ,

} Danger at Crossings
i -
ij Chairman of Safety Committee
Invites Assistance of
i
Ministers
?
I -
I Recently the Safety Department of
j Atlantic "Coast Line Railroad sent out
; through its agents on the line of roaci.
; five thousand copies of a circular lei
! ter addressed to all ministers of the
;Gospe:, as follow::: :
! "As a close observer of events you
j have, perhaps, had occasion to note
! the alarming number of people killed
? or injured while driving automobiles
J over railroad crossings.
! "Personally, T loci much concern
J over these appalling occurrences, and
am anxious to assist in spreading the
doctrihe of 'safety' and caution among
our people. However, it has beer:
found difficult to reach our best pec
j pie in a way direct enough to bring
to them a realization of the loss 'of
j life attributable to thoughtlessness.
| "After much deliberation. T have]
j concluded it would be within the j
bounds of proprioty and consistent j
with the humane' policies of our min- j
istry.'to help us and dare hope you
agree with m^. A majority of auto
mobile owners in each community^ire
of the best type, of citizens and it is
this class which as a rule attend
some church regularly.
"I am fully convinced that if driv
ers'of cars will 'Stop, Look and Lis
ten' before crossing a railroad track,
nearly, if not absolutely all of the ac
cidents will cease.
"The Safety Movement on this road
was started with the sole idea of con
servation, and it seems desirable 'that
its scope be extended beyond those
immediately employed as workers, ot
to those who may be travelers, on the I
railroads. It is apparent that the
growing evils oC carelessness should
be combated with the thought and
argument of the foremost. leaders of
each community.
"Therefore. I desire to appeal to
you for assistance and beg to askj
that.' if consistent, you refer to this
question in one of your sermons at
an early date. If practicable, please
let me have by mail a quotation on
this point from your sermon.
"In addressing you on this subject I
f^eel that, as a citizen interested in a
::reat question, it is proper for me to
draw to your attention a problem so
sritally affecting our people.
"I shall appreciate an early re
sponse, giving your views and whether
?fou may find yourself- in a position to
nelp.
"With assurances of respect, I am,
.?ours faithfully,
- "Robert Scott.
?Chairman. General Safety Commit
tee."
This course was decided upon by
he "General Safety Committee' in .
iew of the apparent growing ten
lency cn the part of automobilists to
ake undue chinches in attempting to .
:ross railroad tracks ahead of mov
ng trains, thereby causing unneces
afy loss of life and limb.
"Many personal acknowledgments j;
iave been received from ministers j
howing their hearty support in this j
iumanitarian movement, and it is es- j.
imated that between three and four '
housand talks were mado on this j ;
ubjeet by these ministers in territory j
mbraced by the Atlantic Coast Line!
^aiiroad. Estimating each congrega
ion at average of 100 people, it will ?
?eadily be seen that approximately j(
ia!f a million people heard this mes- 1
age. and it is confidently believed
hat much good wfll be accomplish- :
d thereby.
Many times the automobile..driver
s-tempted to take a chance in cross
ng a track ahead of a train simply j
>ecause of the excitement of the mo-,
nent, and it would be well for pas- i
cngers in these ears, who are prob- j
ibly not laboring under the same,
excitement ns the driver, to admon&h ?
he one at the steering wheel to ex-i'
??reise the utmost '?are in approach- r;
ing grade crosings.. not. only for the)
safety of those on the back.: seat. [;
t>ut for his own safety as well. No j
doubt jiist such a word has averted I
many an accident in the past.
The hearty response on part pfj
ministers in complying with the rail
road's appeal is not only gratifying to"
the :oacls but i^ appreciated by those
motorists who believe in practicing,,
'.he doctrine of "Safety."

Editor Daily Item. ? ;
Sonie day:; ago L read an article j
from a man. living in another eoun- ?
tv cn the dog menace, arid I so hear- j
tiiy agree with him that I am im- ]
pelled to say a word myself. i
He proposes to have all dogs tax?-'! j
$2.*>0 and bitches 55.00, and that a |
collar be worn by all that are taxed.)
This would easily show who were;
evading the law and therefore could;
be deal* with. ..j
Now r am a small farmer and am'
sandwiched between negroes, and.
very few have less than two and j
sometimes three half .starved raven-!
ens creatures, which after nightfall.)
are almost equal to old . Bowser's cats,.!
only they don't slop on the back yard.!
fence, but come seeking what they;
may devour from fine hens, broilers, j
turkeys, eggs, table scraps, etc. My !
sleek well fe.d. t.?>: paid on Shepherd;
nightly disputes their right to depr&rj
fiate on our .premises: but a hungry J
cur fears no toe. We literally have]
dog"s in fronl of us and dog:; to th'i
t ear of us. dogs 'o the/right of us ;;nc .
' dogs to the left of us.
Now in all seriousness why do we
have to endure such? Somebody
j mighl say give 'em biscuits. No pui
j the tax on and let our rural pcliee
I men gej busy and see thai all are re
turned for taxation $2 00 a nd $5.00
or more: then will the problem!
solve itself. Any dog worth feeding j
and keeping should be worth tha*
:~uii!. And then let this fund be ap
plied to the roads or schools and it
would l>e quite a boost for cither.
