Has anybody noticed that the pres
ent governor of South Carolina has
had nothing whatever to say about
the railroads, and he has done moth
ing against them. He seems to want
to tackle the cotton mills and most
everything else in sight, but he lets
railroad corporations severely alone.
Is there a reason for this?

SUMTER WANTS SEABOARD.
BUSINESS Men Decide to Meet COndi-
tions Laid Down.

Sumter, July 8.-A meeting of the
business men of Sumter this morn
ing decided to meet the conditions
laid down by Bonsal and Moncure
for the coming of their line, the Sea-
board Air Line. The conditions in
brief are the rights of way from
within two miles of Bishopville to
two miles beyond Sumter on the 9TH
er side, and a site for terminals here,
$50 feet by 1000 feet. Mr.. Bonsal
was wired to that effect by Mr.. Man.
ming, who has had the matter in
charge, and was asked to come to
Sumter to settle on details. A COM
mittee was appointed to secure the
rights of way and options on sites,
the committee consisting Of R. 1.
Manning, Neill O'Donnell, I. c..
Strauss, H. J. McLaurin, Jr., and w.
H. Ingram. When this is settled a
committee of ten will take hold Of
the ways and means end of the mat
ter and raise funds for the neces-
sary expenses. 1t is not thought
that much money will be required
as would be thought of in a matter
of this size, for most of the landhold-
ers along the route are so impressed
with the Importance. Of the connec-
ton that they are willing to give
rights of way.
The coming of the seaboard to
Sumter means, too, the coming of
another road, for the Alderman rail-
road will then build to Sumter, This
road, started by the Alderman lum-
ber people as log road, has pene-
trated new territory, and will be a
most valuable trade feeder for Sum-
ter. Mr.. Alderman was at the meet
ing this morning, and said that If the
Seaboard came here he would bring
his line to Sumter, and he did not
ask anything to be granted him
either.
It is estimated that the new tax
able property put on the books by
the coming of these roads to Sumter
will soon bring in enough revenue to
pay for any money that Sumter
might have to spend bringing them
here.
Another railroad connection that
Sumter will soon be considering is
the Belts road. This, too, was start
ed as a log road, but now penetrates
10 miles into country otherwise
hardly accessible. The terminus OF
this is at New Sumter, three miles
from town, and if completed and
brought to Sumter would mean
railroad into the Shiloh section OF
the county, a rich section, but the
farthest of from town and hard to
reach.
The people of Sumter feel tonight
that the town has taken step for
ward, and organized business men
feel that they are accomplishing good
deeds by their close knit organiza-
tion.

the compass
THE compass is what the navigator
uses to direct the course of his ship.
If the compass is defective and unrel-
able, the ship is very likely To go on
the rocks or run ashore. The only way
to reduce the number of accidents of
this type is To make sure that the
compass is i'm perfect working condi-
ton every time vessel leaves the
dock. Vessel masters should De in
structed how to make such an inspec-
ton and owners should require in
spections to be regularly made. Most
OF the masters and owners think a
compass is infalHblc. \ captain will
order a compass and put it ON his boat
without giving a thought to whether
the compass is put together as it
should be and works DIRECTLY.
THAT isn't the way they do business
in the United States navy. Every COM
pass that is to go on naval vessel
is submitted to the compass Office in
Washington, before 1t is put together.
An expert examines every part under
a microscope to see that it is right.
Another examination is made after the
parts are assembled to make sure it is
properly put together. You seldom hear
of a government vessel going ashore.

More than per cent of the COM
passes inspected by the government
are rejected as defective. ON the lakes
no one seems to care when boat goes
ashore. The owners rely on the insur-
ance companies to pay their loss and
the insurance companies seem to think
that unless there are losses their bust
