GOOD CROWD FOR BARGAIN
DAY.
Street Scenes Similar to Those @
Circus Day.

The advertising campaign in behalf
OF Bargain Day seemed Thursday
morning to have had its desired effect
for there was a good crowd on the
streets ready for all Of the fun that
was to come and possibly also ready
with their pocket books to secure all
OF the bargains that they wanted
during the day.
The crowd came on train and IN
vehicles through the country. TIL.
surrounding towns furnished their
full quota Of shoppers and pleasure
seekers and this morning it appeared
that the day would be ig suc-
cess. The creased pole had not ye:
been erected, but it was right there
to be put up and the creased pig was
ready to be turned loose in the
crowd. The automobiles were also
on the street in numbers, and prob
ably ready for the big auto parade at
1880 o'clock.

COLD STORAGE PLANT INSTALL
ED.
Citizens Meat Market Keeps up with
Advance of Progress.

One Of the signs that the me..
chants Of Sumter are keeping in line
Of progress are the several new and
advanced lines Of goods that they
have put in. The Citizens Meat
Market, not behind merchants SELL
ing clothing, ready -to-wear garments
and other such paraphernalia, have
shown their desire to keep things in
their market up-to-date by having
installed a cold storage plant.
The plant was ordered by Mr..
Walter. Boyle. the manager Of the
market, several months ago, but
has just been installed. BY it's use
the market will be able to have on
hand at all times a good supply Of
meat for sale to both the retail and
wholesale trade in and outside Of the
city limits and to all Of the small
towns situated in the vicinity Of Sum-
ter. The cold storage plant is the
usual sort run by an electric motor
and operated by ammonia which cir
culates through pipes inside Of the
plant cooling the brine solutions
down to any degree desired. The
electric motor Is ten-horse power
affair and at present has to be run
only three to six hours a day to keep
the plant at the proper degree of
temperature. OF course in the sum-
mer when the place has to be kept
even cooler than in winter and 1t
will be harder to keep it cool, tn ,
motor will have to be run longer and
oftener. At present the meat will
be kept near the freezing point and 1t
will be kept clean and nice in its
closed box.
One OF the advantages Of the cold
storage plant Is It's saving to the
operator. The butchers Ice bill is
generally something enormous dur
Ing the summer time, but it is not in
N'-'S s"0t eHC SIctltcSl SdNInk Is
made. The feed bill will he cut down
to great extent. Heretofore cattle
sometimes had to be kept and fed
Tor weeks at time before the
butcher was ready to kill them.
Now all he has to do when he gets
the cattle up from the farmers anx-
ious to sell, he kills the animal at
once and slows him away in the cold
storage plant. Also, the butchering
which has up to this time been a
semi-weekly occurrence, will be
converted into a semi-monthly event
AT this time twenty-five or thirty
cattle can be butchered up in a day
and hung up in the plant where they
will be kept in perfect condition I'M
til they are sold on the market. The
plant, when crowded, will hold as
much as forty beeves at one time.
and without crowding will hold thirty
full grown beeves.
The plant Is put up by the Breck
Butcher Supply Company of st.
Louis, whose representative is now
putting on the finishing touches in
the installation of the plant.
