THE MAYORS RESIGNATION.

The resignation Of Mayor l.. ID.
Jennings. viewed in any light. is an un-
fortunate occurrence for the city gov
ernment and tho community at large
for the reason that IL disturbs and
interferes with the orderly and ac-
customed procedure in the conduct Of
the city government, and is calculated
to create unrest and friction that can
not but be harmful. There are two
sides to this RS to all questions, and
we will not undertake to go into the
merits or details OF the controversy
that arose between Mayor Jennings
and the Finance Committee over~the
refusal OF the committee to accept
the contract for a loan OF s25. 900 to
the city. made by Mayor Jennings,
who was acting with the committee
by resolution Of council. Mayor Jen-
nings felt that the refusal of the
committee To accept the contract
made by him. and the action Of coun-
ell In sustaining the committee was
a slap In the face and a reputation of
an obligation that he had assumed
as the agent Of council. From his
point OF view he was justified in feel
Ing that self respect demanded his
instant resignation. We can appre-
ciate his feelings. and. to some ex-
tent. sympathize with the Mayor. The
average man who has the proper self
respect would have felt as ne did and
many would have adopted the same
course. But there is another point 20

ed for treatment by a majority OF

term as Mayor. contract between
himself and the people OF Sumter. We
do not believe the differences between
the Mayor and the majority OF coun-
ell are irreconcilable. we do not be-
lieve that this friction has destroyed
Mr.. Jennings usefulness as Mayor,
and we feel that IL Is his duty as a
citizen and as a duly elected public
official to withdraw his resignation
before II Is presented to council and
serve out tho term as set down In
his contract with tho public. What is
past cannot be remedied. but the in

cents pound over ordinary cotton.
My judgment is this condition will
continue on account of the boil
weevil conditions. but of course, on
the other hand, these conditions may
be overcome so that an abundant sup
ply is raised in the Mississippi delta,
in which event Of course the premium
on the staple cOttons will not continue
as high as they now are. 1t is
mere question Of judgment, however,
and my judgment is that the premi-
ums will be high and that it will pay
the farmers Of South Carolina to raise
this character Of cotton if great care
is taken in doing so.
Knowing you to be an able and
progressive farmer I would suggest
to you that it is advisable for farm
ers of your class to study the condl-
tions and take advantage of the op-
portunities offered in the cultivation
Of better characters of cotton than
have been heretofore grown in this
State.
For instance, having every desire to
secure to the planters Of South Caro-
lima the best results for their product,
and being desirious SO far as pos
sible of utilizing the production Of
cotton raised in South Carolina, / am
nevertheless unable to use in the
mills in Columbia cotton produced in
Sumter or Lee counties, because | find
that the staple of this cotton is not
sufficiently long or strong for the pur-
pose for which ] need it. and I there
fore have to buy for the Olympia.
CRANKY and Richland mills, which
use approximately $4,000 bales Of
cotton a year, cotton from the Pied
mont section Of South Carolina or
from North Georgia or from Alabama
or Mississippi.
l know that you can raise as good
cotton as is raised in these other see
tions if you will use the proper seed.
1t Will be my pleasure to pay to plant
ers of South Corolina full prices for
their product if they will produce the
character of cotton needed.
l know you are we'll acquainted

i know you are a busy man. but
II you could make it convenient some
time to meet me in Columbia, would
go over fully with you the conditions
necessary in the production of the
staple cotton which you wish to pro-
duce and which will command a bet
ter price, and likewise 1 could ex-
plain to you our manufacturing
needs.
At all events, I can say TO you In
sincerity that I shall be glad to Dur
chase direct from the growers at full
value that which they offer me.
With personal regards, and hoping
TO have the pleasure at no distant
