From The Daily Item. Dec. 20.
Mr.. H. S. Gilbertson, Assistant
Secretary OF the Short Ballot Asso-
citation, which has headquarters in
New York, is in the city today for
the purpose Of making an investiga-
ton OF the Sumter Plan Of Municipal
Government and confer with the com
mission in reference to the practical
operations Of this modern and busi-
ness-like system Of city administra-
ton.
The Short Ballot Association Ia an
organization Of distinguished public
men and earnest students Of NUM-
cipal problems. who have banded to-
gether to create a nationwide inter-
est in efficiency. honesty and business
methods In municipal affairs. The
Short Ballot Association has evienced
great interest in the Sumter Plan from
the time the enabling act was
passed by the Legislature, and through
It's officers has made many useful
suggestions. The association has
been active in disseminating infor-
nation Of the General Manager plan
OF city government inaugurated by
Sumter and the greater part Of the
favorable publicity the Sumter Plan
received in every section Of the coun-
try has been due to the bulletins sent
out by the Association. The visit OF
Mr.. Gilbertson to Sumter is but
another evidence Of the deep interest
the Short Ballot Association feels in
the success Of the Sumter Plan and
shows that the men who are giving
most earnest though to reform in
municipal government, desire to OBJ
tain exact information as to the prac-
tical operation Of the Sumter Plan.
The Association is not only desir-
Gus Of obtaining information, but
will gladly render any assistance pos
sible to make Sumter's great un-
dertaking a success Mr.. Gilbertson
spent the morning going through the
hundreds Of letters from applicants for
the position Of City Manager receiv-
ed by the Chamber Of Commerce In
response to the advertisement sent
sent out by that body early In Oc-
tooer. He expressed himself as both
surprissd and 9ratired a. the larre
number OF applications and the his,
class OF men who desire 10 engage in
municipal work under business-
like and non-political system. The
letters. in Mr.. Gflbertson's opinion.
are conclusive proof that the cities
and towns that seriously undertake to
run their governments as q business
and not as a political machine. will
have no difficulty in retaining the ser
vices Of trained men of the highest
type who have established regulations
for efficiency In the business world.

places where before they were indif-
ferent. They see that unless they
arouse themselves the temples will
decay and their support will cease.
Many foreigners, both travellers
and resident merchants coming from
professedIy Christian lands, hinder
the acceptance Of Christianity. The
natives. who are used to national
religions, naturally regard all people
who come from Christian countries
as Christians, and when they see
them indulging in vile habits or in
business dishonesty they attach these
practices to their conception of
Christianity and prefer to cling to
their own faith.
The work of missions is by no
means discouraging. Large COM
munities have been thoroughly
Christianized. Some of the converts
from heathendom are as bright and
consistent Christians as can be found
in the United States or in any Christ
ian land. What is needed is the con-
tinued work of education and the
preaching of the gospel"

But one of our neighbors is an old cat
and she says I act perfectly disgraceful
and she's putting it all over the neigh

My mother and father think it is all

Please tell me what you think, and

You do not need to worry about what
your neigabor says if your mother and
father know you are doing nothing
wrong. Have just as good a time as
you can, my dear, as long as it is an
honest good time.
Try not to be too noisy, though. Re-
member there are other people in the
neighborhood who may not enjoy your
songs and laughter as much as you
do. and try to hold the boys down a
little when they get noisy. They will
respect you for it, be sure.

never wanted to marry her. She's
just a good friend. TOM.
If you did not want to marry the
girl you should not have taken up SO
much Of her time that it made people
think you wished to marry her. A good
many young men make that mistake.
The next time anybody asks you
about the wedding, simply tell them
that you have nothing to say; then let
them think what they please. If they
choose to think the girl has refused
you. it will be more manly on your
part to let them think so, than to say
anything that would seem to harm the
girl. In fact, a refused man, If he is
a good sort, somehow always wins the
sympathy Of his friends, and the other
girls usually try to make 1t up to him
the best they know how.
Whatever you do, don't be cad.
Remember, you've made the situation
embarrassing by your own actions.
And If you see any symptoms OF the
girl showing too fond Of you, the soon
er you break off your chumship with
her the better il win be for the girl.
No manly man wins a girls love when
he has no intention Of marrying her.

married very soon. l am a brunette.
