THE NATIONAL EXPOSITION IDEA.

Congress has become resigned to the national
exposition idea. 1t has gone deep into these
enterprises in the past that every proposition
to celebrate some great event by national ex-
position is pretty certain to meet with support
and favor. Preparations are now under way for
fair which is to be the celebration of the found
ing Of Jamestown, the three hundredth anniver-
sary of which will occur next May. Speaker Can
non who is of an economical turn of mind tried
to check the granting of government aid to this
enterprise, but national expositions are somewhat
in tho nature of public buildings when 1t comes
to getting aid from congress- They are made
part of log rolling scheme and combinations are
formed that always insure the enterprises being
Endorsed.

st. Louis that this country could get along with

CHOICE FOR NOMINATION TWO YEARS HENCE.

1t is somewhat amusing to note the jealousy
that exists in the little group of statesmen who
have their political lightning rods elevated to
catch the presidential bolt In 1908 These men
who aspire to the presidency are thoroughly
human and they are watching each other like
hawks. While for public consumption their words
and acts are altogether disinterested, in private
conversation they indulge in some pretty severe
criticisms of each other. There has been great
anxiety among these candidates to find out on
whom the administration favor would rest The
developments of the past few weeks seem to have
settled that point and now 1t appears to be tho
field against Secretary Taft, for the latter is
looked on here in Washington as President Roose-
velt's choice for the Republican nomination two
years hence

TIE City Now in Charge of the Water
Works

The formal transfer of the water
works plant to the city. of Sumter took
place Friday. The entire cost of the
plant was s123.0SS.66, of which
amount si16,500 was received from
Todd & Co., of Cincinnati, from
the sale of the bonds. and the differ
ence was paid from the cash fund Of
the city on deposit in the banks. The
city did not have to borrow II cent.
The board CT commissioners, con
sisting OF Messrs. II. Lee scaroor-
ough, r. l.. Edmu Is and w. B.
Burns. are now in charge Of the plant.
Mr.. C. NJ. Hurst, the city clerk and
recorder, is constituted by an enac.-
ment of the State legislature, secretary
Of this board.
Mr.. Smith, formerly superintendent
of the plant, will remain in the city
to assist.the city officials for a few
days, until arrangements can be per
sected for the future management of
the system.

a rough estimate OF the cost Of tbs
new buildings erected in this city duc-
ing the past year places the total at
more than 100000. The growth Of
Sumter is not sensational or spectacu-
lar, but each year shows g greater and
more substantial development than in
the year preceding. The only
noticeable falling off in any line
Of business was in the cotton receipts.
This falling off was due to the reduc-
ton of the acreage planted in cotton
and the short crop. Nevertheless,
while there was a decrease in the num-
Der Of bales received, the high price
that cotton brought during the past
fall fully counterbalanced the falling
off in actual receipts.

PROFITS.
Rasiness Dcne By the Local
Dispe2sary-Ccunty and City's
Revenue.

During the month of December the
business done by the county dispen-
sary totaled the enrmous sum for a
months sales of a little more than
1S,600.O0. Of this amount the profits
of the city and county to be divided
in equal proportions amounts to owe
$4,000.
Possibly the most phenomenal days
business ever transacted by the dis
pensary was done on the 23d OF De-
cember, on which day the sales ag-
gregated ~s2,364.S5. This was an
enrmous days work for the force M
ployed at the ~dispensary, and it strikes
n particularly forcihiy when the day
of ten hours is reduced to 500 minutes
and then divide the minutes into the
sum total of the days business, which
will show that the average number Of
sales during the day amounted to
nearly $4,000 per minute.
The town n county will each re-
ceive for their share of the net profits
OF the dispensary's business for the
year more than 10000, which is
100000 more than the revenue de-
lived from this source in 1904.

The total lack of interest in the spe

The total lack OF interest in the spe-
cial election held Thursday to fill the
vancancy in the legislative delegation
does not indicate by any that
there will be nothing doing in county
politics this year. There VIII be poll
tics and ofhce-seeking galore this
summer, and some of the wise ones
are already shaking hands and laying
wires preparatory to the primary.
There are sub-surface indications that
the Stir in the Sumter county political
arena viii be iivlier this year than
for some time.

The retail dry goods merchants Of
this city have decided to discontinue
the practice Of premium giving and
have signed ar, agreement to take eff
feet on February 1. It is a good idea.
for it will enable them to sell goods
at a closer margin and at the same
time get rid of a great deal of annoy
ance. Premium giving, trading stamps
and all similar schemes have been an
incubus or the retail trade every
where for a number of years and it is

onsightly but are really dangerous,
falling frequently during high winds
and injuring people. His remarks re-
