The manner in which Sumter's
streets are Uttered with hand-bills,
circulars and all sorts Of advertising
matter is little short Of disgraceful and
something should be done to abate the
nuisance. The enactment and strict
enforcement Of an Ordinance similar
to the one that is in force in Column
bia would improve conditions The
Columbia ordinance is as follows:
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
son or persons to distribute, spread
or scatter any handbills, posters, ad-
vertisements or any other paper or
card or scraps Of paper, upon the side
walks or streets of this city, and any

of this section, upon conviction before

itear Admiral COghlan and His "Hoch
Der KatSppv

All Of the papers are nrintino q.
ABOUT Rear Admiral Coghlan. who
died recently, that he was the "Hocb
der Kaiser" naval officer. Admira,
Coghlan was regarded by his brother
oIhcers as possessed of an "unbridled
tongue" He said what occurred n
him and refused to think twice before
ne spoke once. But other than the
Hock der Kaiser incident it was not
generally known that Ibis tongue had
gotten him in trouble" We are told
py one newspaper that "he was court
martialed in 1875 and reduced thir-
teen numbers for writing a letter, con-
tanning much profanity, to the chief
clerk of the navy department. In 1890
he again got into trouble by criticisinp
the administration of the navy depart
ment generally and the way things
were run at Mare Island navy yard I'm
particular. He next wrote a letter in
which he quoted the late Senator
voorhees, remark that "Grover Cleye-
land was big man because he wore
a twenty-one inch collar" President
Cleveland heard Of it and this caused
him the loss of six numbers"
The "Hoch Der Kaiser" recital it
was feared at the time, would cause
international complications, especially
as it occurred at time when there
was talk in the newspaper press about
the "ugliness" of the German war
ship in Manila harbor toward Dewey
during the time the American admiral
had the Spaniards in hand there. The
poem" was recited before the Union
League Club. Major Mckinley was
president at the time and the incident
annoyed him very much. He repri-
manded Admiral Coghlan in a public
letter. But, while the world was roar.
ing with laughter, the news came that
Emperor William was laughing hearti.
ly, too, and Major Mckinley felt bet
ter over the situation.

Net amount saved. :. :. :. $22,974.31
These figures are, Of course, SUBJ
ject to correction when the final re-
port is made up, but the probability
is that the total amount saved by hav-
ing the work done under the super
vision Of the Sewerage Commission
instead of by contract will be greater
than above stated. Another consid-
Grafton is that the commission has
used the best materials obtainable and
has taken no short cuts to save money
at the expense Of the work. 1t is be-
lieved that the city has a better job
than it would have obtained had the
work been done by a contractor whose
chief aim would have been to make
as large profit as possible.
The Sewerage Commission has been
criticised from the inception of the
work. and while they may have made
mistakes in minor details, the results
attained is a complete vindication Of
their Judgment and those who have
criticised the commission without
full knowledge Of the facts should
now hold their peace. The writer was
one of those who was confident that
a mistake had been made when it was
decided not to have the work done
by contract, but in view Of the graft
flying success made of the big under
taking by the commission he is the
first to extend hearty congratulations
to the commission. The City Of Sumter
is also to be congratulated, for saw
ing Of $4,000 on the cost Of the sew
erage system is no small matter.

WHAT THE SEWERAGE COST
Inc City Will Complete System for
$4,000 Less Than Lowest Bid by
Contractor.

The sewerage system is practically
competed and although it has not been
turned over to the city by the Sewer
age Commission and accepted official
ly by City Council, it is possible to
state within a few hundred dollars
the entire cost. In advance of the for
NAL acceptance by the City Council of
the completed system. at which time a
detailed report of the cost will be pub
lished, the following figures taken
from the books of City Treasurer
Hurst will Of interest to all Sumter
people. the taxpayers especially.
Number miles sewers 16 2-10. Total
cost to date $91.441.45. This includes
all items of cost-engineering, COM
missions to engineer pipes, freight,
cement. sand. land for septic tanks ex-
cavation, inspection, pipe-laying, re-
pairing streets. etc. The Sewerage
Commission now has on hand unused
pipe worth $3.50 and other property
and material worth several hundred
dollars that will be turned over to the
city and which should be deducted
from the total cost Of the system as
above stated.
Compare this with what the system
would have cost had the work been
done by contract and the saving is ap-
parent.
The lowest bid made by a contrac-
tor was $4,379.11 per mile for excaya-
ton, pipe laying and filling trenches.
The city would have had to furnish
all pipe. construct the two septic
| tanks, furnish land for tanks and out
fall and pay the engineers commits
