The city of Sumter cannot, in our
opinion, accept the proposition of the
County Board of Commissioners in
reference to the removal of the jail,
and should not, even though it bad
the power to do so. We would sug
gest, however, that those who deem
it necessary to build the jail else
where might join forces, form q jail
removing corporation and accept the
terms laid down by the County
Board. This will be the suress way to
prove that the removal can be eject

The Weirhf of Ice.

The iceman and the goldman are
often suspected of giving short weights
maybe oftener suspected than guilty;
maybe oftener guilty than suspected.
The means of testing the weight OF
from ten TO thirty pounds of ice are
not always ut hand in the house, but
close estimate of the weight can be
reached by multiplying together the
length. breadth and thickness of the
block in inches and dividing the prod
uct by thirty. This will give very
closely the weight in pounds. Thus, if
block of ice is 10 by 10 by 8. the prod
uct is 900, and this divided by thirty
gives thirty pounds as the correct
weight. y block 10 by 10 by 6 weighs
twenty pounds. This simple method
can be easily applied, and il may serve
70 remove unjust suspicion or to detect
short weights.
