NEW SKYSCRAPER DISCUSSED
Reports OF What May BE Done, But
Plans Not Given Out to the Public
Yet.

The people Of the city are daily
discussing the proposed newest sky
scraper for Sumter, that which it is
reported that the Bank of Sumter is
to have erected on the corner now
occupied by the d. j. Chandler Cloth
ing Company. While reports of the
change to be made and the number
Of stories to be added to the building
are plentiful. facts are few and hard
to get.
II has been stated by directors Of
the bank that a high building would
be erected on the front part Of the
present building, and it is known that
plans for the changes and additions
to be made are being drawn up by
the architects. 1t is not known how
many stories will be added or exactly
what changes will be made, except
that the building will be equipped out
as a banking institution with the la
test appliances and in the most mod
ern and up-to-date styles.
The reports have it that the front
parts Of the building will be convert
ed into a four story structure and that
there Is a probability Of the changes
being made in the near future. Mr.,
r. I. Manning, the president Of the
Bank Of Sumter. stated Thursday
that there was no information to be
given out yet awhile as to what was
to be done.

FARMERS
UNION NEWS
Practical Thoughts for Practical
Farmers.
tCcnducted By Z. w. Dabbs, Pres
idcnt S. G. Farmers Union.)
Some Random Thoughts.

The clippings from the columns Of
a church paper so aptly describe
conditions in the farming world that
l wish our readers would make a
note Of them. Not satisfied with the
machinery we have (The Farmers
Union) first one and then another
comes along and proposes more ma
chinery. To my way Of thinking
more would be accomplished by
strengthening, and improving the
machine we have than by organiz-
ing so many temporary machines to
be thrown aside as soon as the i'm
mediate task is finished.
The Clinkscales plan is spoken Of
by Mr.. Anderson and some newspa-
pers as the Farmers Union plan. 1t
is no more the Farmers Union plan
than Mr.. Andersons' plan is the Far
mers Union plan. Both invoked the
aid Of the Farmers Union, and used
and will use the Farmers Union to
the fullest extent, but neither offered
any real aid to the Farmers Union.
1t seems so easy to the outsider that
when l was approached about get
ting in behind" the Rock Hill plan,
at once suggested Mr.. Anderson as
the proper man for State superintend-
ent. BY long distance phone I learn
ed that he would be acceptable to the
Governor and commissioner, who
with the President of the State Far
mers' Union, were asked by the New
Orleans convention to put the plar.
in operation.
He will then find that it is a much
easier matter to canvass two town
ships at his own expense than to pro-
vide the machinery and the power

give him all the aid in my power and

How She Counted Success.

After Jenny Lind had left the stage
for no apparent reason, a friend who
went to see her found her sitting by
the sea, with an open Bible upon her
knee, looking out on the sunset glory.
During the conversation the friend
said: Madame Goldschmidt, how is
It that you ever came to abandon the
stage at the very height OF your sue
cess, when money and afluence were
pouring in upon your Laying one
hand upon the Bible, and pointing
with the other to the sunset, she
quietly said: when my success was
making me every day think less OF this
dear book, and nothing at all of the
sunsets glories, what else could |
do?" "The Swedish Nightingale"
counted her success by losses instead
of gains. This difference is always
seen between the wording and the

HOUSES PUT UP TO LAST
Workmen Of Past Generation Did
Their Work In a Manner to
Endure.

The Wayside inn, at Sudbury, of
which Longfellow sung, was built in
1856 Repairs were made during the
present year in which some OF the
original clapboards were removed. The
Wrought'iron nails holding those
boards In place were found In almost
perfect condition, though they had
been In an exposed position for 22S
years.
The nails were perfect because they
were pure iron. Careful analysis
could detect only the faintest traces
OF carbon, manganese, copper or sui.
phur. It seems established that pure
iron will not rust. The celebrated
iron pillar OF Delhi has stood exposed
to the weather for 900 years, and
seems good for 900 more. It is even
more free from foreign substances
than the iron nails OF the Wayside
Inn, which accounts for It's superior
durability.
The problem of modern manufac.
turers is to produce pure iron by ma
chine processes, and do 1t econom-
lcally. A few claim to have gained
this desired goal, but the world in
general has it's doubts. Work went
slowly in the old days, but sometimes
1t went with a sureness which pres
ent-day industry has yet to achieve.

Chapter Of SYRIAN Life.

In Syria a chaperon is the law Of
social intercourse between the young
folks. AT the wedding ceremony the
bride appears In the center of bril-
llantly illuminated room. On all sides
are attendants carrying large candles
richly painted and decorated As she
takes her chair, what money she pos
sesses Of gold and silver is placed on
her head.
The gift Of the bridegroom is 40
dresses, and, as the wedding celebra-
tions last two weeks, the bride has a
chance to display her gowns, making
numerous changes daily for the de-
lightful edifcation of her friends.
AS a rule, these dresses last life
time, and are usually handed down
from one generation to another, and,
unless destroyed otherwise than BY
wear they are everlasting.
