An Advantage to Manufacturers,

The adoption of free wool in the Uni
ied States tariff law has resulted in advan-
tage to the United States manufacturers.
according 10 a report from United States
Consul Schramm at Uruguay. he points
out that the shipments of Uruguay woods
TO the United States have largely increas-
ed by reason of the tariff change. This
Is greatly beneficial to the interests Of the
tnited States" he adds. from the fact
that the fine qualities raised here have
never before reached the United States
AS these fine woods cannot be produced
in the United States and at the same
time are essential 10 the manufacture of
various articles, it is evident that the
cheaper they can be made to our manu-
facturers the more they will be enabled
to compete for the worlds markets as
well as supply the home markets..

TONS OF GOODNESS.
The Ice Factory Puts IN Machinery
TO Make Fifteen Tons Mere
Ice Per Day.

The Sumter Ice Manufacturing Company
has just CLOSED n contract for new machinery
that will enable them 10 increase the daily
output Of ICE 10 thr extent Of fifteen tons.
The capacity OF the factory is now twelve
tons of ice per day, and when the new ma
chinery is put in The output will he twenty
seven tons of rs pure ice as can he made
every tw-nfv-fonr hours. This is proof thot
the enterprise has paid and that there is
money in tbe business. II is gratifying TO
enterprise, and especially so, when it is An
enterprise Of whose success there was con-
siderable ionbt when it was first proposed.
The capital stock Of Toe company has
been increased and several new stockholders
admitted to the company, All Of whom are
citizens of this city. There is yet 81, 900 Of
the new stock lntaken and which can be
obtained by anyone who desires TO put
money into n successful local enterprise. If
the stock is not taken by some party or par
ties not row members Of the company within
a short time, it will be taken BIZ the new and
original members Of the company.
The enlargement OF the capacity Of the
factory was made necessary by the growing
trade Of the factory in the towns and cities in
the Pee Dee section Of the State, which could
notbe supplied with the present output. Al
first the location of u branch factory at Flor
ence WAS contemplated, but Investigation
demonstrated that it was impossible 10 obtain
II supply of waller in that place THAI would be
as well adapted TO The manufacture Of ice AS
that outlined here, therefore that plan was
abandoned, and the factory here was enlarged
by the addition Of new machinery.
Toe quality Of the Sumter ice is known and
appreciated all ever Central South Carolina,
and wherever ii has been introduced the de-
msnd for II hiss steadily increased. This repu
rarion is well %merited, tor no purer ice is to be
found an, where. Only the pnrest water,
obtained from deep driven wells, is used. aud
this is distilled and condensed before being
converted into ice. Therefore it is the safest
aud oest ice for family use.
AS soon us the new machinery is put in
place the company will be in a position to
ship ice in Car load lois ct the shortest
notice, and such shipments will hereafter be a
feature of the business of the 6rst importance
