The Commission Plan of
Government For Cities

tive to insist that the council should

sibility to the board OF public works.

the council Under the commission
plan, the commission has complete
power and complete responsibility
BY a division of duties into five de.
partments the primary responsibility
is fixed on single individual. Eff

commission whenever it has been
tried. Economy has always followed

from extravagant inefficiency in nun.
icipal affairs and enabled successfully
and economically to commence an ex-
tensiye system of public improve
ments solely because of the increased
efficiency and economy of her com
mission.
The restoration of municipal gov
eminent to the confidence and loyal
support of the citizens Is also an i'm
mense benefit of the new plan. The
doing away with the ward system, and
the compelling of each commissioner
to face his whole constituency makes
less possible the election of an in
capable or corrupt official from
small and more easily controlled dis
trict. The whole city is equally affect
ed by and is therefore equally inter.
ested in the vote of each commissions
er, and every citizen should have an
opportunity to express his choice for
each commissioner. The present plan
cultivates the habit of each council
man sacrificing the interest of the
whole city, other than his district, II
he can only thereby get what his dis
trict wants. The evil of deciding To-
cal problems, largely those involving
ca binary business considerations
light, cleanliness, sanitation, sewers,
water and good order, by the yard
stick of national politics is absurd 1t
enables the men who care nothing
about good government, and who
march under any banner to secure
corrupt ends, to turn the tide of bat
tie their way. Citizens who require
clean, efficient, law-enforcing gov.
eminent divide on national party
lines and fight each other, while
est of both, and are the common en-.
envy of all, carry the day. Economical
efficient, clean government should be
the result of the establishment OF the
new plan 1t deserves the loyal sup
port of all citizens desiring a better.

to the refusal of Vice-President Krutt

federation. No decisive action was
expected until tomorrow, when it is
known all OF the committeeman will
be on hand.
James w. Kline. international presi

that the four international presidents
who came here and unsuccessfully ur-
ged Mr.. Kruttschnitt to recognize the
federation would use every effort to
avert an open break between the com.
pany and the men but that they real
lied that there was little chance to
prevent strike. The presidents at
the meeting today told the general
committeeman of the negotiations
Kruttschnitt and explained all the de-
tails of the present situation.
Vote Has Been Taken
Since the Kruttschnitt conference
the men have taken vote and the
general committeeman came here with
definite instructions from the men
whom they represent. This vote is
the second the men have taken on
the subject, the one prior to the Krutt.
schnitt meeting having been practi.
cally unanimous decision to strike
unless the federation should gain re
cognition from the officials.
Most of the shops along the coast
have emphasized the desire of the
men to take drastic action, but some
of the delegates from the middle ives

ultimatum of Kruttschntt for the pre-
sent and to make individual unioT

feel that in this way the ends of tn
federation will be gained even if tn
organization itself is not officially r,
cognized by the railroad officials.

We are having holiday on today, May
18th. in memory of the birth of Robert
G. Winthrop, TO whom we owe a debt
of gratitude. For several years the
Ben Greet Woodland Players have pre-
sented two OF Shakespeare's plays on
this annual holiday. but this year we
will have the Coburn Players present,
Much Ado About Nothing. and Mac
beth. Every one loves Shakespeare,
and we enjoy his plays all the more be-
cause they are given out on the campus.
The weather is so warm now that we
! feel as ifit is almost time for commence
ment. The exercises will begin on the
morning of June 4th and close on the
evening of June 9Th. Rev. r. S. Nc
Aribur, D. D., of New York City, will
preach the commencement sermon, and
Rev S. A. Stule will deliver the ad-
dress to the graduating class. The
Alumnae Association, of Winthrop Col
hlege, will hold its regular annual re-
union, at the college. at $50 O'Clock on
the morning of June 9th. An unusually
large number of former graduates are
expected, and they will receive warm
reception from their alma mater.

SUMMERTON.

For four days past The Kingstree
District Conference of the Methodist
Church has been in session here: and
Summertonians welcomed the oppor-
tunity to extend hospitality to this large
body of earnest and jealous workers.
There were some sixty or seventy min
; listers and laymen together in attend
ance upon the convention. and it is re-
ported to have been characterized by
unprecedented interest and enthusiasm.
! Although the convention proper came
TO q close on Friday evening, some Of
the ministers remained over to assist in
the services of Sunday. At the Metho-
dist Church in the morning the Rev. j..
w. Kilgo, of Greenwood, S. c., deliv
cred an able and scholarly sermon to a
large congregation; at the same time
in the Presbyterian Church the Rev.
Falrey, of Kingstree. conducted service.
On Sunday evening at the Methodist
Church the Rev. Peeler, OF Greelyville,
preached. Services at the other
churches in town were omitted to admit
of a general attendance upon the serc-
ices at the Methodist Church.
The new Baptist Church building Of
this place is nearing completion, and
we have every reason to think it will
do credit to town Of this size. Its out
ward appearance is most pleasing, and
the interior is said to be equally well
appointed. The Baptist congregation
proposes installing an acetylene plant
with which to light the building For
the past two months the Baptists have
been without {. pastor. but haYe now
