Since Spar,snburg cannot furnish suita.

department had planned TO send to thatplacefor

vautages and inducements that Sumter can

true, TO take up the matter, but it the city
council aud the business men would get to-

Senator McLaurin in the matter 10 Sumter's
behalf camp might yet be established here.
Sumter has the TWO things that are most sec-
essary to secure csmp-a suitable site for
camp and en- -bundance of pure water.
There are number of places near the city
that would be excellent sites for large camps,
healthy. well drained and large enough for
the encampmeut of large body of men with
out crowding.
The advantage of having camp is we'll
understood by all who have considered the
matter, the men would spend enough money
in the city to keep the merchants busy aod
the business of the towa would be doubled
while the brigade remained. The matter is
worth considering, b1t if anything is to be
done it will have to be done promptly and
the suggestion is thrown ont for the consid.

The Cost of Electric Lights and
Water.

The probabilities are that when the new
contract for lighting the town is made next
spring, the contract with the Sumter Electric
Light Company then expiring, considerable
reduction in the price Of lights will be
secured. The contract for lighting the city
was made ten years ago when electric light
plants were much more costly than at the
present time aud it then cos, more to operate
them after installation, and at that time the
prices paid for arc lights for lighting the
streets and incandescent lights for stores and
dwellings were considered quite reasonable.
At this time, however, the prices paid for
lights iu this city are higher sDd ous Of pro-
portion to the prices paid in other towns that
have recently made contracts. Conse'
buently it is but righ. and rea-
souable to expect that when the new
contract is made reduction will be
secured and schedule OF rates for lights for the
city and private parties made to conform to
the rates charged in other places An idea
can be obtained of the prices in vogue IN
other places frop the recently made contract
for rieh,iog Greenwood. The Greenwood
Journal OF recent date says that the
"Price paid for lights varies according to
number used +; the cost ranging from 81 cents
each in case of rs lights to so ceots for SIN
gle l6 candle power lights. Arc lights are
rated to the city at $50 each"
The people of Greenwood pay less for water
than the people of Sumter, IS the following
statement shows:
Water rates decrease in ratio as the number
of faucets increases, the first faucet for do.
mestic use costing So, the second So. and
each .ditiopal 81 The nature of the bnsi-
ness Increases the price to the consumer, 'he
whole list being carefully graded. LiTery
stables are the highest on the list, S24 being
the least price. Hydrants are rated to the
city at S25.
However, as the contract with the Sumter
Water Company has long time yet to run,
there is no use to talk about wanting re.
doctiou in water rates for public and private
uses The rates charged by the Greenwood
company illustrate quite plainly that there is
a downward tendency in the charges, and the
people of Sumter Can look forward with a
reasonable hope to the tine when new con-
tract is made for reduction 10 water rents.

The Daily Item, Tuesday Oct. 25th.

with the advantages that Sumter has to offer.
The cooperation and irhuence of the officials
OF the A.laptc Coast Line should be enlisted
also.
A mass meeting of the business men Of the
city will be held in the Court House at
O'Clock this afternoon to consider and FORM
ulate plans for bringing to the attention OF
the war department the advantages Sumter
offers for the establishment Of a camp OF
troops. The matter has been generally dis-
cussed in an informal way on the streets
during the moruisg and the suggestion made
in this column yesterday met With such
hearty approval on ell sides that mass meet
ing for the purpose of organizing and setting
the ball in motion along business lines was
the result.
Now that the business men are thoroughly
interested in the matter it is settled tha, no
stooe will be left unturned to secure brigade.

it is not too late @ bare statement of facts

winrer in this city. The facts concerning
the sites suitable for large encampmen's. the
abundance of pure water aod the health rec

the strongest terms. And more important
