WATER WORKS COMMISSION.


WATER WORKS COMMISSION.
Sections zoos, 2009 and 2010 Of the
Code of South Carolina provide that
towns and cities Of the State may own
and operate water works and electric
light systems and directs that when
an election shall be held for the pur-
pose of issuing bonds for this pur-
pose, and at the same time there shall
be held an election for three commits
sioners to constitute the commission
of public works The three comnais-
sioners so elected serve two, four and
six years respectively, the length Of
term each is to serve to be deter
| mined by lot when the commission is
organized. It is also provided that one
commissioner shall sbe elected at each
regular municipal election to fill
the vacancy created by the expiration
of the term Of one Of the commission
ers. 1t is further provided that the
city clerk or recorder shall be ex-
oficio the secretary Of the commits
sion.
AS this provision of law is doubtless
unknown to some ,of our citizens at
tentfon is called to it to the end that
they may give the matter considera-
ton before the bond election is held.
More than the necessary number of
freeholders having signed the petition
for the election, all that remains to
be done is for the city council, at its
next meeting, to order the election. If
this is done next week the election
will be held within three weeks, as
the legal notice cannot be given in
much less time.
1t is most important that the very
best men that Sumter affords should
BE chosen as members Of the water
works commission. They will have
large responsibilities and the manner
in which they discharge their duties
will determine the success Or failure
Of municipal ownership in Sumter. 1t
is position that no man should seek,
but those whom the people eject
should enter upon the discharge Of
their duties with the determination
to administer the affairs of the wa
ter works system as a business enter
prise for the benefit Of the entire mu-
nicipalty, without discrimination or
favor toward any person or corpora
ton.
The water system is now proflta-
BILE enterprise and as the demand for
water by individual consumers is In
creasing smore rapidly now than ever
before it can be made more profitable
each year and at the same time pro-
vide the city with better fire protec-
ton than it now has. But to do this
we will need men on the commission
who will keep down the expenses and
maintain the income at the maximum
without making the water rents bur-
den upon the citizens. The rates now
are not excessive, and it will not be
advisable to even consider reduction
in the rates until the city has had sew
eral years practical experience with
the operation of the system. Ex-
perience may, however, demonstrate a
reduction of rates will create so
much greater demand for the water
that the net income will be materially
increased thereby.
i is such important questions OF
business policy that the commission
will be called upon to consider and
determine, and it is for this reason
that it is so important that none but
the very best men in Sumter be elect
ed to serve in this capacity.

sEARisH REPORT IS EXPECTED
Cotton Men Take No Comic in To-
days Report.


IF the "ginners report" to Sept. %,
published yesterday, reflects the eitua-
ton correctly there may be further
decline IN cotton values today upon The
publication of the Government bureau
report. At least several Americus deal
ers look at 1t in that light.
The ginners report issued yesterday
was that of the National Association,
which is separate and distinct organ
ization from the ginners association re-
porting TO the Government.
The National Ginners Association re-
ported 1855, OBI bales einned for the
season up to Sept. 25th.
This report was made up from infor-
nation gwen by 81, 397 einnerP, and
while the market advanced some ten
points it was regarded as rather of q
bearish nature Inasmuch as the mum bel
of ginners reporting was 1000 LEI than
reported last season.
10 other words, more than $4,000
glnners reported in October last year
against q, 387 this time.
The market yesterday declined sharp.
ly from the opening but recovered, al
stated, on The strength of the ginneri
report. In Americas mar et ten cents
was the "top potcheI" for the hes
grades, ut no large amount of cotton
was sold at this low figure.
Interest attaches to the Octobe
"bureau" which is due to be publik b
ed at II O'Clock today.

BUSY MEETING OF COMMISSION
Elected Superintendent of Roads and
County Attorney.

The county commissioners of Sumter
met Mon1ay in monthly session, the
( Ill board, Messrs A. T.. johnson, N.
A. Ray, r. M. Andrews, W. L.. Thorn
a. and j. T.. hamhiss being prese Mt
and taking part in the discussions up
on matters of inter est to the county.
The board elt cted Judge James A
Hixon county attorney to succeed the
lats j. II. Lumpkin.
Supt. W. r. Faschal was again elec~,
ted superintendent of the county roads,
his new term IF office dating from
March 1st 1906 al being fer twelve
months from that date.
Supt. Paschal was re elected in March
last for one year, his present term not
expiring until March LIST next year, and
the fact that he has been again chosen
for that position so far in advance re-
fleets his ability as road builder and
the desire TO keep him.
The commissioners will also make q
change in the plan of operating the
county poor farm.
For years past they have employed {
superintendent there, who cultivated
the farm as well. But the commission
ers propose to cultivate the farm mex
year and will employ some one TO lool
after the inmates there and overlook
| fho farm at the a0ma time
They think this change will be il
the interest of economy. Half tn

be sown IN oats next year
