CITY RECORDER.

That the city of Sumter will have
a recorder is assured. Who this re-
corder will be is question that the
City Council will Determine at its
next meeting. We have suggested be-
fore and we wish to emphasize the
suggestion that it is very desirable
that there should be union Of the two
Offices, that of City Clerk and City
Recorder. The Attorney General has
ruled that as the city clerk is only
an employee of the Board Of Alder
men there would be no constitutional
objection to such union. This COM
bination would certainly be very con-
venient for everyone concerned in the
business of the court. The hours for
trial could be so arranged that there
would be no inconvenience to the
officers of the court, the witnesses,
or prisoners While there would be
all hour fixed for these trials, still
in cases of emergency trial could be
held at almost any hour during the
day.
The present clerk is we'll qualified
to assume the duties of the Office Of
recorder; for his experience as secre-
tary of the Mayors court, as Mayor
pro tempore in special cases, his legal
training, and his safe Judgment are
qualities that should ne sought for
in any aspirant for this Office.
It would, of course, be unjust to add
this work to the other duties Of the
City Clerk without extra compensa-
ton; for the duties will be onerous
and ezacting. We know, however,
that the services of the city clerk
could be procured for less than those
of any other competent aspirant; for
it is his duty to be in MS Office at all
times and we believe that the en-
larged field of jurisdiction of the re-
corder's court will make the Office
ssIf-sustainine.

Working for Another Carrier.

Congressman Lever has not yet
abandoned hope of securing for Sumter
an additional letter carrier, although
the Postofice Department has hereto
fore persistently declined to consider
the application favorably. He is still
at work to secure the appointment of
the additional carrier for he knows as
we'll as the people of this city know
that another carrier is absolutely
necessary to insure efficiency in the
free delivery service, and he will not
let up until the additional carrier is
appointed.
The following letter shows the result
of his latest effort to secure favorable
consideration of the matter by the
department officials:
Washington April 25, 1904.
Hon. a. F. Lever, House of Repre-
sentatives
Sir: Receipt is acknowledged by
your personal reference of petition
addressed to the Postmaster General
by certain citizens of Sumter, South
Carolina, who ask for an additional
city letter carrier on the ground that
the present number is entirely in
adequate.
In reply you are advised that an in
vestigation will be made as soon as
practicable, with view to ascertain
ing the condition and needs of the
service at Sumter. AS soon as the re-
port is received prompt action will be
taken, of which you will be advised.
Very respectfully,
J. Nj. Bristow,
Fcarth' Assistant Postmaster-General.

CHEF OF POLICE.

We dislike to suggest SO many things
to the City Council; but We have
said before and repeatit, that the sal
ary Of the Chief of Police should be
greater than that Of any police officer
on account of the burden of response
blity that he must carry. We dc
not favor the reduction of any salary.
We Go no believe in cheap labor. We
believe that when man feels that
he is paid what he deserves that not
only does his employer have this
mans services, but his loyalty also.
We do not favor then the reduction
of salaries: but we do feel that the
Chief of Police should receive salary
commensurate with the services that
he renders the city.

Both grai1s need rain. Melon seeds
are terminating poorly and some are
rotting in the ground. Peaches ap-

The Weekly Crop Report.

Washington, April 25.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions says:
While preparations for corn plant
ing have been active in the principal
corn States, as a whole, but little
planting was done during the week,
owing to low temperature. In the
Southern States corn has suffered from
cold weather, and is small, with ire
gu1ar stards.
Cotton planting is general over the
northern portions of the belt, and is
nearly finished in the central and
southern portions, where chopping is
in general progress, the early planted
in Texas and Florida receiving its
6rst cultivation. Over most of the
central and eastern districts the stands
are unsatisfactory, and much replant-
ing will be necessary. Low tenn
peratures and droughty condition have
retarded termination very generally
in the central and eastern districts.
Planting is aboot finished in Texas,
except in the central and southwest
portions Of the cotton area, where some
fields of 1heat ruined by drought are
being planted to cotton.
Tobacco plants have been injured by
frost in Virginia and Kentucky, and
are reported as small in Tennessee and
North Carolina. Some transplanting
has been done in South Carolina.
