Turning a Daily Newspaper.

The News. daily paper at Sum
ter, has suspended publication. The
News was started about a year ago
with strong financial backing but in
the face Of many predictions Of
failure on account of the fact that
Sumter already had one daily news
paper and is too small to support
another. The inevitable result has
come. There are only four towns in
South Carolina that could be thought
large enough to support two daily
newspapers and in not al Of these is
if a demonstrated fact that TWO can
be operated proftably. 1t costs at
least s25 day to publish even a very
small and poor daily newspaper and
from that the expense runs rapidly on
up almost without lint. The expense
Of publishing such as newspaper as
the Journal is $50 a day. 1t requires
liberal and steady cash income to
keep from going into the hole on
proposition of this kind, but this is
usually overlooked by persons who
are enthusiastic to get into the
newspaper business. Only, 'a.-short
time is necessary for such enthusiasm
to ooze out and the strongest kind Of
financial backing wants to get from
under when called on with unceasing
regularity to put up q big weekly de-
felt. It is no fun running g daily
newspaper with the balance re s;st-
entity going the wrong way.-Spartan-
burg Journal.

progressive and clean administration.

out extra cost to the city except for
the actual cost Of installing the 'a6di-

Rambling Thoughts,

The man who bought Sumter dirt at
the high prices Of a year ago IS pat
ting himself on the back as wise gay
with lots of foresight.
The mass meeting is serious prop
osition for the candidates for n1unicip-
al honors. and it should be equally
as serious to the voters, the taxpayers
especially. 1t should be utilized as an
onpnr1unity for ascertaining as nearly
as may be exactly where the candi-
dates stand on the issues of import
anee.
There is talk that now is the time
to elect a 'do something council.
That is to say a council that will go
in for big things, create a stir and
spend money like it grew on trees for
public improvements, even if it is
necessary to bond the town for a
quarter of a million Such talk may
sound big in the ears Of the talker,
but it don't sound good to the tax
payers and wont appeal to them, ur-
less there is a decided change Of
mind and heart.
3 fuss and feathers council with a
violent attack Of the public improve
ment and big bond issue mania is the
worst calamity that could Slip up on
the blind side of an unsuspecting n1u-
nicipality. May the good Lord spare
Sumter from such an evil visitation in
this year Of grace.
Necessary public Improvements are
good investments no matter what the
cost, but it takes level headed business
men to differentiate between what is
necessary and what is mere outward
show.
For a good many years Sumter has
been fortunate in having such men in
the council; taking the record by and
large, it shows that the money that
has been expended has been, as a rule,
well spent. Mistakes have been made
here and there, but they are recog-
nized as mistakes by the. light of ex-
perience. Hindsight is better than
foresight because it is hindsight and
for no other reason.
There are more than enough abso-
lutely necessary public Improvements
already in sight to occupy the time, at
tention. talents and executive ability Of
the very best council that can be Sc
lected without thrashing around to
stir up some imaginary improvement
that will have the appearance Of being
etc.-you know the rest of the talk.
If the council to-be will take hold of
the sewerage proposition and put it
through or even get it well under way
the duty that lies nearest to their
hands will have been discharged. Sew
erage for Sumter is a big proposition,
but it is the essential and vital neces-
sity at this juncture in the towns his
tory. The present and future health
fulness Of the community is wrapped
up in the sewerage proposition and
the whole future of the town is abso-
lutely and entirely dependent upon its
healthfulness.
The town has managed to get along
passably we'll without sewerage in
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1906-03-21

A sewerage system will cost a good
deal Of money, but health and happi-
ness are worth q great price. We may
not be altogether happy because we
are healthy, but we can't be happy at
all without health.

The man who bought Sumter dirt at

The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1906-03-21

The town has managed to get along
passably we'll without sewerage in
spite of our folly and disregard OF the
consequences that must result from
the persistent violation Of the simplest
and best proven sanitary rules, but
this happy exemption from immediate
penalty has been due to the character
of the soil upon which Sumter is
built. The sandy, porous, absorbent
soil STAYED off the evil day, but the
limit has about been reached, and if
our people display ordinary wisdom
and discretion they will not tempt
Providence too far, they will not go on
and on until the fact that the limit has
been overstepped is brought home to
them forcibly by the penalty that is
the price Of disregarding sanitary laws.

PEMBRoKE TRIAL REsUMED.

OAKLAND, July 9.-District Attor-
ney ]. ]. Allen opened today the argu-
ments for the prosecution in the case
of Percy Pembroke, the sixteen-year-
old lad who is accused of being a
member of the gang of young hood
lums that murdered Thomas w. Cook,
a grocery clerk at Fruitvale, about a
year ago. The argument was begun
after the case had been reopened and
Superior Judge Harris had testified as
to Pembrokes confession.
Judge Harris was a deputy district
attorney when Pembroke confessed to
having been present at the robbery and
murder to Sheriff Barnet He heard
the confession, not only of Pembroke
but of Schneider and Blaker, both of
whom are serving life sentences for
the crime and who refused to testify
against Pembroke at his third trial.
District Attorney Aliens argument
today was directed toward the refusal
of Schneider and Blaker to testify, and
he insisted that the refusal was due
to the fear of the friends of the con-
victs already in prison.
Attorney L. S. Church will follow
Judge Allep, and'it is not expected that
the case will go to the jury before the
end of the week.

BURGLARY INSURANCE
PROVES UNPROFITABLE
Company Forced Out Of Business
by the Increase Of Crime
in New York.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Because OF the
rapidly increasing number of bur-
glars, sneak thieves and pickpockets
of a new class in New York, the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Company has abandoned it's burglar In
surance business and will notify its
patrons that upon the expiration of
present policies they will not be re-
newed and that no more insurance of
this sort will be written in this city.
All told, the premiums paid on bur-
glar insurance business in New York
now amount to considerably more
than 100000 annually. 1t is asserted
by officers of various companies doing
this class OF business that 1t is a losing
undertaking, and 1t Is expected that
several other concerns will soon follow
the course of the Fidelity and discon-
tinue the burglary branch of insurance
altogether.
In making this announcement the
officers Of the Fidelity Company said
today that they desired to make 1t
very plain that they would abandon
burglar business only in New York
city. In other cities they would con-
tinue writing policies the same as be-
fore, because it was only in New York
that the business of housebreaking and
stealing had been developed to a point
where losses were almost sure to cover
the premiums.
