canning factory with a capacity
C 10000 cans a day will be built In
Sumter and will be In operation next
season. IL will make speciality of
tomatoes. string beans and sweet po-
tatoes. but other vegetables and fruits
that can be obtained In sufficient
quantities will also be put up. The
statement 10 made as a positive fact.
although all the stock has not been
subscribed. for the reason that prac-
ucally one-half the required capital
was subscribed by twenty members
OF the Chamber OF Commerce who at
tended the meeting Of the chairmen
Of COMMITTEES Thursday night. A large
number OF business men have, ex-
pressed interest I'm the canning fac
tory and there will be little or no
dimculty In securing the balance of
the capital stock. The success or
failure of the enterprise depends upon
the farmers Of this section of the
county--if they will grow the to-
matoes, beans. sweet potatoes and
other vegetable and fruits needed the
canning factory will be able to do
business. but II they will not grow all
the vegetables the factory can use
the enterprise cannot make money.
There has been lots OF talk Of diversi-
fcation and tina need Of additional
money crops to take the place Of cot
ton. and the canning factory is being
Womted and will be established not
1iRarily as money making enter
Prise. but to AFFORD a local cash mar

Presldeu,--that seems certainty
but there are necessary expenses to
be paid and the rank and file Of the
Democrats party will have TO chip in

trusts and robber barons are not put
ting up their money for Wilson as
they are doing for Taft AND Roose-
welt. both OF whom are friendly with
malefactors Of great wealth. for the
election OF Wilson will curtail their
special privileges and give the peo-
pie chance To obtain share Of the
contributed dollar or more TO the
Wilson campaign fund. do II now.

Bank OF Sumter.
The war I'm the Balkans will be
given as the reason for the advance
In the price Of a-tar OF roses. and s.
for the decline in the price Of cot
ton. Roses. from which altar OF
OF roses Is produced. are the principal
money crop OF Bulgaria and the har-
vest will be interfered with by the
war. therefore there IL good cause for
an advance In the price OF perfumary
but To make the war an excuse fol
bearing the cotton market Is rather
far-fetched. The Balkan States man
ufactute little cotton and the wal
will not curtail their needs for cottor
goods. which are supplied by the cot.
ton mills Of England and contentina
Europe.
