which was adpoted.
Mr.. Stuckey suggested that sub
scciptions Of stock be invited from
citizens Of Camden and other nearby
towns, who, he was Informed, were
taking a lively interest in the move
nnent inaugurated in this city to OBJ
tain cheaper ice.
Major H. F. Wilson moved that a
board of corporators be appointed to
apply for charter, complete the
canvass for stock subscription and
take such other steps preliminary to
the organization Of the company as
might be necessary. The motion was
adopted and the canvassing commit
tee was appointed to act under the
resolution as a board Of corporators.
Before the meeting adjourned a
number Of subscribers doubled their
stock subscription.

formed an ice club and bought two
tons at time and divided it among
themselves at a merely nominal ex-
pense, one person who attended to
the division and distribution receiv-
ing a small per centage on the cost
for doing So These people paid the
factory the same price the local deal
ers would pay if they bought in the
same quantity.
After more or less resultory talk
back and forth Mr.. Hardy was asked
the direct question if his company
could or would arrange to sell ice in
this city for 25 cents. a hundred in
100 pound lots, or 35 cents hundred
IN smaller quantities. He replied that
he could not do so. He was then
asked if he would sell ice at the fac
tory to consumers delivery COM
pany for 81 a ton in two ton lots. He
said he could not, as he had entered
into contracts with the local OedIerS
and they had invested money in
horses, wagons and other outfits for
carrying on the business and he felt
he owed it to them to carry out his
contracts.
He was asked by Mr.. Boyle, going
back to the statement that the COM
pany had not paid a dividend for two
years, if they had not spent a large
sum in enlarging the plant? He re-
piled that they had spent about $4,000
in replacing worn out machinery and
that had taken all they. had made and
besides had left them with an over
draft CT s2,5oO, on which interest had
been paid He said also that stock in
that company could be bought for

ed to invest in the ice business they

der which the people are working to
establish the Consumers Ice Com
pany. Subsequently he had an inter-
view with Mr.. Hardy, and,f as a re-
vited Mr.. Hardy to attend the meet
ing and explain his side of the ice
question to the public. Mr.. Hardy
was present in response to that invita-
ton and was not an intruder.
Mr.. Hardy was given the privilege
of the floor to- make whatever state
ment he desired.
Mr. Hardy said that he had ac-
cepted the invitation to attend the
meeting as a result of Mr.. Wither-
spoons call on him during which he
evinced an honest desire to obtain in
formation at first hand and to treat
the ice company fairly. He was sur
prised by Mr.. Witherspoonfs visit for
it was the first time any one had
ever exhibited a similar disposition.
He had taken pleasure in going fully
into the facts Of the situation for Mr..
Witherspoon's information and had
done a thing he had never done be-
fore-had showed him the BOOKS,
correspondence and contracts Of the
company to confirm the statement
made. He had done this because he
was so appreciative of Mr.. Wither-
spoons fair misunderstanding to
which they were not accustomed.
The public had 8 misconception of
the ice situation and then false ideas
were obtained from the press, which
had made statements on the subject
on misinformation or from lack Of
correct information. He had been
very much surprised, however, that
bank officials-two at least who he
knew to have attended the previous
meeting-had not stated the facts to
the public in that meeting, how the
Electric Light, Ice and Power Com
pany had been struggling along for
months paying interest on overdrafts
and that it had not been able to pay
a dividend in two years. 1t was
fact we'll known that in the electric
light department the company did not
make a cent ard maintained it only
for the purpose OF keeping together
a force of good and reliable men by
being able to give them steady en-
ployment throughout the year. In
reference to the prices Of ice paid by
local consumers he said that these
prices were regulated by the local re-
tail dealers, and that the company
would sell them ice at the same
price paid by the dealers in other
towns In ten ton lots the price was
81 per ton; in lots Of two tons or more
up to ten tons the price was SIS a ton,
and in less than two; tons lots the
price was Sc a ton. The local dealer
bought in small quantities having the
ice delivered in lots of one, two, four
or more blocks at a time, their reas-
on for doing this being to save them
selves from the loss by melting which
would be quite an item if they bought
in larger quantities and kept the ice
on hand for any length Of time.
Mr.. Hardy was asked number of
questions by Messrs. W. E. Boyle, A.
B. Stuckey and others, all of which he
answered, but most of which he had
covered in his general statement. He
explained how ice was obtained by
consumers in some other places, by
saying that he was informed that at

Hardy Addresses Meeting.

~NN~S~~ NOO>~
The meeting Of those interested in
the formation of the Consumers Ice
Company held in the court House
Monday evening was we'll attended
although the crowd was not as large
as that which attended the meeting
last week. The interest was fully as
great, however; and the sentiment in
favor of establishing an independent
ice factory is as strong if not strong
er than ever. In fact the sentiment
has become crystalized into determi-
nation, and the factory will be built
at once.
The meeting was somewhat late in
assembling owing to the fact that
court did not adjourn until half past
six o'clock.
The meeting was called to order
and got down to business at once.
Mr.. Barlow Walsh, chairman Of the
committee appointed at the previous
meeting to solicit subscriptions to
stock, made a report for the commit
tee. He stated that subscriptions
amounting to 1,400 shares all told
had been obtained largely il small
blocks and that many of the subscrib-
ers had expressed Willingness to in
crease their subscriptions if ncces-
sary to insure the organization Of the
company. He stated that the coln-
mite lad met the representative of
the lork Manufacturing company
and had obtained from him detailed
Specifications for furnishing ice
plants, prices being given for Is, 20
and 25 ton plants also on Is ton
plant that can be enlarged to 25 ton
capacity when desired. In round fig
ures it will require $4,000 to estab-
lish a Is ton plant and S12,500 for
25 ton plant The committee had al
so received numerous telegran1s from
other manufacturers Of ice machin-
cry quoting prices and offering to
send detailed specifications, but he
did not think it necessary to read
these telegrams.
Mr.. E. I. Reardon stated that he
desired to make an explanation He
said that he had, along with Messrs.
E. L. Witberspon and w. w. McKa-
gen, been invited to become members
of the canvassing committee and had
attended q, meeting Of the committee
At that meeting Mr.. E. L. Wither-'
spoon had expressed a disinclination
to go into a movement to antagonize
an existing local manufacturing en-
terprise without first ascertaining
from the managers of that factory if
they would not arrange to give the
people of Sumter in the way of cheap
ice what they are seeking to obtain
by the establishment of an independ-
ent competing factory. Mr.. Wither-
spoon was authorized to call on Mr..
j. j. Hardy, of the Sumter Electric
Light, ice and Power Company and
obtain from him the information
sought. He called on Mr.. Hardy
and was given a great deal of infor-
nation respecting the ice business,
but was informed oy Mr.. Hardy that
he was not prepared to give him an
immediate answer as to whether his
company would furnish ice at the
prices specified in the agreement un-

MODERN JERUSALEM.


Life In Jerusalem, according to Miss
A. Goodrich Freer, the author of "In-
ner Jerusalem" is one of anomalies and
anachronisms. The street arab speaks
three or four languages. Apart from
the tourists who are representatives of
half of the nations of the world there
are Jews, Mohammedans and Chris
tianS. The streets of Jerusalem are I'M
sreakably filthy. One can buy any
thing he wants in the city. There are
even French dressmakers who will fol
low out the latest Partisan fashion.
Water is scarce and mainly derived
from cisterns. The rainfall averages
only thirty or forty inches. There is
trade in good water which comes from
the village of Ain Karin, some three
miles distant from Jerusalem. There
is a most unpleasant wind, the sirocco,
which is fatal to vegetation, exhaust
ing to the nerves, irritating to the tenn
per, parching the skin and ruinous to
the hair and complexion" The dews
are heavy. Jerusalem has it's special
diseases, but the cure is found In gui-
nine.
Insect pests are the mosquitoes and
most particularly the sand flies One
may keep out the mosquito, but the
sand fly is at home everywhere. Cloth
ing affords no protection. Flies are
overabundant Winter is more pleas
ant than summer. Sometimes on
winter evening fire is necessary. Aft
er all, it is a land of perpetual sunshine,
the mean annual temperature being 63
degrees. With all its sacredness, Jeru-
salem is described as "topsy turvy
land" In holy place the native takes
off his shoes and wears his hat The
men sport petticoats, and the women
expose their legs, while hiding their
faces. Carpets are hung on the walls
and pictures on the ceiling. There is
no apparent gratitude, for in Arabic
there is no word the equivalent of
THANK YOU
had by the month for &c. Mutton is
worth from 8 to 10 cents pound,
chickens about 20 cents a pair. Fruit
is plentiful and reasonable. Consider
ing the economy of living, the author
expresses her surprise that so few Eng
fish live in Jerusalem, their number
being insignificant when compared with
the American residents" The popula-
ton of the city is put down at 10000,
of whom 10000 are Jews.
