The Southern Express Co. (for example)
cannot ship package from Atlanta to point

station. Therefore, very little business of that
kind is possible under the present system.
But when the Government installs the Par

Co. can have it's package carried, free, to a
distance of % miles from the nearest post

FINDS CONDITIONS PROPITIOUS
Mr.. Edward l.. Rieha Thinks That
There Is Good Opening for a
Gas Plant.

Mr.. Edward l.. Rieha, the repre-
sentative of the Baltimore Utilities
Company, which has in view the pur-
chase from the Bartlette- Harvard
Company their interests in the pro
posed gas plant in this city which was
started several years ago, has been
going over the city and taking a
careful inventory Of conditions here
for the establishment of gas plant.
He stated Tuesday that he has
found those conditions to be even
better than they were represented TO
him before he came here.
That morning Mr.. Rieha took an
automobile ride over the CITY and
made number of kodak pictures Of
residences and business houses. He
was much pleased with the city and
said that he thought that there was
every chance for a gas plant to be
operated successfully here. The
Baltimore Utilities Company have nor
as yet purchased the material and
other fixtures already here which
were brought here when the work
towards the establishment of a gas
plant in the city was begun several
yea's ago. However, if the company
can make successful deal with the
City Council, the plant will be taken
over from the Bartlette- Hayward
Company and taken in hand by the
Baltimore Utilities Company. 1t Is
for this purpose that Mr.. Rieha is
now in the city.
He came on from Baltimore. ar
irving Monday morning, and has been
looking over the ground prior 10 ap-
pearing before Council at it's regular
session tonight He is one Of the
engineers for the company which is
row successfully operating a number
Of gas plants all over the eastern
part of this country. The towns that
the plants are being operated in are
mostly larger than Sumter, but Mr..
Rieha thinks that there are good
prospects here for a future business.
Mr.. Rieha stated that the plant

Let him run for governor and
will give him political tuberculosis, -
the governor Of South Carolina is re-
ported to have said at Feasteryille, in
referring to Attorney General Lyon.
Columbia State.
From which we take it that the
governor Of South Carolina, having
concluded that he is not going to have
an opportunity "to beat anybody in
South Carolina except Ben Tillman ;
for the United States Senate, has de-
cided to succeed himself for COVER
nor. Which we take, also to indi-
cate as unmistakable evidence that
South Carolina is about to get into
another Of those unenviably warm
and more or less detrimental political
campaigns, in which flowery lang
uage does not figure as conspicuously
as slang, vilification and the strewing
Of political slime from boundary to
boundary of the State.
That good old State has had it's full
share Of this sort Of thing, and de-
serves the rest it isn't going to get
right away. 1t can't be believed that
the coming campaign over there is
going to be as mild as the last one
was-and that one had in it about all
the political ginger the candidates, Of
which there was a plentiful number,
could muster. The governors an
nounced intention of being a candi-
date for the office he now holds comes
after he has branded the newspaper
editors Of the entire State as liars, and
q great many other unbecominC
things; hence it can hardly be ex-
pected that he will have the follow
ing of even the one or two weekklies
he had in his former campaign. 1t
goes further than that, and means
that the mud-slinging is going TO
get breadth and scope of publicity
limited only by the aggregate circu-
lation Of the State press, and that
the people are, in the course Of time,
to be served with some rather unele-
waiting, If somewhat enlightening,
reading matter-unleSs, Of course,
South Carolina centers upon and pro-
duces some one man so strong, so
broad and so big that his individual
ity is sufficient to overshadow COM
pletely the otherwise promised fore
hoding condition; political tubercu-
losis."-Augusta Chronicle.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1911-08-26

could be run successfully if there
were as many as 400 consumers. This
feature has been well worked I'M bv
Mr.. j. A. Epperson, who came here
to manage the plant for the Bartletta-
Hayward Company, and he stated
that he had formerly secured a list
OF coo subscribers who had promised
10 become customers of the gas plant.
This removes any uncertainty on that
ground and it is probable that as the
town grows a much larger number
of consumers will be added to the
company's list. 1t was stated by Mr..
Reha that, if the company succeed
ed in making their deal, a plant suf
hclent for town of $4,000 people
would be put in so that no changes
would have to be made at any time
IN the near future In fact the plant

enough to take care of it's consumers
until it wears out and has to be reno
