Mr.. John H. Clifton. county chair
man, and Mr.. r. I. Manning made a
partial canvass OF the city Wednesday
afternoon soliciting contributions to
the Bryan campaign fund. In tie
time that they could give to the can
vass 1t was impossible to cover the
city and even in the sections visited
they failed to find quite a number In
their places OF business. Notwith-
standing these hindrances substan-
tial sum was raised and there Is rea-
son to believe that when all the con-
tributions are In Sumter will have
done all that could be expected Of a
town Of her size. In order that all
Democrats who wish to contribute to-
ward the campaign expenses of their
party may have an opportunity to do
so. the list will be kept open at the
First National Bank. Every dollar
will help and as the Democratic party
has no trust millionaires to give great
sums. the rank and file Of the party
should chip In to pay the expenses of
the fight for the peoples rights.

Since the houses In Sumter were
numbered several hundred new houses
have been built. few OF which have
been numbered. The consequence Is
II Is now almost as difficult locate any
one OF the hundred or two unnum-
bcred houses as II was before any
numbers were put up. Every house
should be numbered and some means
should be adopted to have new houses
numbered as soon az they are erected.
II the City Council would take up the
matter and detail one Of the police
of'icers. the street tax collector. for
instance. to take census Of the un-
numbered houses, and then order a
supply OF numbers to be supplied 10
property owners at cost the trouble
would be obviated. Many occupants
OF unnumbered houses would, for
their own convenience. purchase
number plate for their house, II such
articles were on sale In town. The
city numbered the houses In the first
instance and there IL no good reason
why II should not now fill In the gaps
by numbering the new houses.
