The Hogs Must Go.

A special meeting Of City Council was held
Thursday night TO consider the hog ordnance
Introduced short time ago and given the
fret reading The ordnance was taken up
and read second time. After general dis
cussiou the ordinance was adopted by q
unanimous vote.
The ordinance declares it unlawful to keep
any hog or hogs, pig or pigs within the in
corporate limits of the city after the Poblica-
ton of the ordinance.
This settles the hog question, and there
should be little difficulty in future of keeping
the nuisance under control. If any person
violates the ordinance by keeping hogs in the
city they can be reported to the police and
they will oe punished by 6ne or imprison'
ment. The Health Officer and the police are
charged with the duty of enforcing the new
ordinance just the same as any other city
law, but they should make special effort to
drive the hogs from the city and punish those
who violate the law by maintaining hog
pen nuisance.

Removal of the Telephone Factory

The Columbia State of Saturday stated
that Mr.. Peter Blow, president. and Mr.. c.
T. Mason, manager, of the Telephone Manu-.
featuring Co, of this city, spent Friday in
Columbia looking for site suitable for tie
location of the new factory that they con.
template building in the near future.
Mr.. Mason returned home Friday after
noon and Mr. Blow went on to his home in
Knoxville, Tenn.
Mr.. Mason was seen Saturday and asked
for statement 10 reference to the report, pub
lished in The State, that the removal of toe
Telephone Manufacturing Co., from Sumter
is contemplated.
Mr. Mason said that decision has not been
reached and it is not at all certain that the
telephone factory will be removed from
Sumter They have decided, however, to
build new factory that will cost about $780,
600. The main building will be 500 feet
by SO feet, with part of it two stories in
height, giving in ali more than 10000 feet
Hoor space. The business has grown to such
dimensions that the building now in uae is
over. crowded aed it is impossible to keep up
with the orders. The output is now sold
several months ahead and orders are etill
piling up. At present 10 hands are EN-.
ployed, but when the new factory is built 300
or 400 will be needed.
The new factory is certainty, all the plans
having been drawn and estimates for the new
machinery made. But the location of the
factory has not been settled, and other things
being equal, it will be built in Sumter. Ar.
Mason and Mr. Blow have inspected the avail
able aud suitable sites in this city and have
several nuder consideration. They visited
Columbia to look over the ground there, but
especially to examine a factory building
which they were informed was suited to the
reeds of their company end could be pur-
chased or leased on advantageous terms.
In nut shell the situation 10 jast dhis :
4 new telephone factory must be built 10 the
near future. and the men who own the bust
ness are looking for the nest advantageous
location before they make the large outlay CT
money that will be required to build and
equip the new factory.
Mr. Mason, himself, prefers remaining in
Sumter, but if be shall be convinced thatit will
be to the permanent advantage of himself and
the Telephone Manufacturing Co. to move to
another place, the new factory will not be
built in Sumter.
The thing to be doDe now is to make it 10
the interest of the Telephone Manufacturing
CO. to remain in Sumter. The business has
grown and prospered phenomeuaily in Sum-
ter, and there is no reason why the city can
not offer inducements that will more than
Offset any apparent advantages that other
places possess
For several years this paper has urged the
exemption from taxation of all manufacturing
enterprises for a term of 6vs or ten years,
bu. nothing has been done. Nov is the time
for action to be taken if the people desire to
retain the largest and most prosperous man
ufactory that Sumter has.
