iHhS ana SUBURBAN MONIES could be
picturesque and delightfully."- located.
1t is with feelings of satisfaction
movement on foot among the wide
awake citizens of Sumter to develop
this magnificent property and by this
one act put forward the development
of Sumter a full ten years and lay
the foundation for the greater SUM
ter of which we all have dreams
The original purchasers Of the land
have risen above selfish interest and
have decided to forego any immediate
profit on their investment for the
sake Of larger profits in the future
and the general good of the communi-
ty that will eventuate from the Or
ganizatiOn Of the company in which
all of the men who are making Sum-
ter forge to the front will be inter-
ested. They will turn over the land
to the company to be organized at
first cost, which is less than farm
land adjacent to it. on all sides, is
now held at The men who take
stock in the new company will not
only be participating in great work
for the upbuilding of Sumter but
will be buying stock at par that is
already worth premium on the open
market If the present market value
Of the land is taken into considera-
ton. There Is but one objection to
or criticism Of the plans as outlined
1t has been stated that the stock
WILL probably be placed in large
blocks. which would prevent any save
men Of large means becoming asso-
ciated in this important public en-
terprise. 1t would be wise, the
writer believes, to make the stock
allotments smaller so that men of
smaller means might have an op-
portunity to enlist in the good work
1t must be remembered that many Of
Sumter's most public spirited men
and hardest workers for the upbuild-
Ing of Sumter are today not rich and
therefore cannot afford large invest
ments that cannot pay immediate re-
turns. But 1t must also be remembed-
re that the probilities are that many
Of the poor but progressive men of
today will be the rich men of ten
years hence. The energy and busi-
ness acumen of these young men
will be more valuable to- an enterprise
OF the character Of this than the big
cash subscriptions OF the rich men,
Big subscriptions are of &C .rse neces-
sary and desirable. but there should
be room for the small subscriptions
and place for the workers who hope
to qualify for the capitalist class ere
long. But be this as it may the
plan is big one and the details are
of less importance than its success.
for Its success means great deal to
Sumter.
