the South are doing The opportunity
which this section offers for broader
work, for expansion of every interest,
is at least ten times as great as what is
now being done.
If the South is to come into its own,
if the millions of idle acres are to be
turned from liability into an asset, If
the home demand for iron and coal is
to so interested as to make ready
market for all the product of all the
furnaces and mines of this section, If
better farming methods are to be made

the people of the South of all classes,

eral expenditure of brain and capital

CLOSING THE Y. VI. G. A.

There can hardly be any doubt that
it was an act of wisdom on the part
of the new Board of Directors to
close the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation until it can be re-opened I'M
der better financial conditions and
with a thoroughly capable man N
charge. The Association had practi-
cally lost its usefulness in the COM
munity, it had lost it's tone as a re-
filming and elevating influence, and it
was far better to close it up until a
new atmosphere could be created than
to permit it to run a ong as it hal
been doing
Reviewing the history of the Asso-
citation it is evident that it was doomed
from the start ii just such ad isaster
as has met it, 1t has really never had
thoroughly alive man in charge of
its affairs, that is man trained for
tn class of work who was energetic,
capable of maintaining discipline in
the building and at the same time pos
sessing that affability that draws and
holds boys and young men, This is
a rare combination, it may be said,
yet it is essentia ly the comb nation
that is needed when an Association Is
opened under the conditions that eX-
listed here if a complete success is to
be made of the work.
In the last year the Association had
degenerated very much from its orig
inal purposes. The Association is in
tended to be something else than a
mere stamp ng ground for those in
terested in sports. Sports have their
proper usefulness in the world and
are not to be discouraged or frowned
down. But there are other things to
be considered in the work of the Y.
NJ. c. A. and it is very much to be
feared that the other things were
largely overlooked Because of this,
and in order to secure better grasp
on the situation, the directors decided
that the temporary closing of the
but ding was necessary.
When the bu lding is re-opened, as
it probably will be, there will be no
such slpshod management The les
son of the past year or two is not apt
to be forgotten speedily Instead OF
being permitted to degenerate the AS
sociation hereafter will be held up to

SUMTER HOLDS IT'S OWN WELL.

OF course Sumter county has not
got the cotton crop it had last yea.
Neither has any other county in the
state Neither has the South as a
who'e If such a crop had been ra.5-
ed, and the world was assured of it,
the price would probably be down TO
7 or 8 cents. 1t was just as we'll, net
only for this season, but for next
season as we'll, that no such eno:-
nous product on came for 1912.
But, and this is the fact to be stress
ed, competent judges declare tn It
Sumter has about the best crop eat
they have seen in touring Geo 's'a.
There is considerable satisfaction 20
c drawn from that fact. 1t sustains
the o'd-time reputation of the cCrr'.
that no matter what might happen
or me drought or come flood, come
heat or come cold, Sumter someho%
or other would turn up with ia y
good cotton crop to its credit.
Now this is not the best crop thar
Sumter has produced, but it is bette"
on the average, than any Their cOu.lE
n this section has produced, and some
competent men say the best that any
county in the state has produced. This
juts Sumter in a c'ass by itself. And
while some are inclined to feel blue,
and the weather does tend to make
/ business men take on a tinge of dis
enlargement, there is consolation in
these facts that ught to be given due
weight
When the crop is all in, as things
now point, Sumter will have turned
out as much cotton as in any former
year, with the so exception of 1911.
/ And it will receive for its cotton bet
ter prices than it received in any for
mer year. with one or two exceptions.
And backing up the cotton have been

creGit to a moderate extent, issue
bonds and replace the bridges with
modern and permanent structures.
Taxpayers VII undoubtedly be
standing in their own light if they
refuse to support bond issue for this
specific purpose Every one who trav-
els the county roads and uses the
bridges is aware of the prime import
ance of good structures. Everyone
must appreciate that concrete or a
steel bridge has life that is inn
measurably beyond anything that can
be hoped from a wooden bridge. Ey-
eryone knows that the county yearly
pays out hundreds of dollars for re-
pairs to the br dyes of wood. 1t is
then hard to see why any one should
oppose a bond issue for up-to-date
bridges that viii meet the demands OF
the public for an indefinite period
without repairs and prove profitable
investment as a result.
Public sentiment in Sumter has not
yet been educated as it should be on
this bond question. But in this mat
ter of bridges it certainly would seem
that the dissenting voices would be
few and far between Good bridges
are of importance to every man who
uses the county roads, and that very
nearly comprises every man in the
county.

LET Us HAVE PERMANENT

The position taken by Chairman

No more wooden bridges should be
