Mr.. A. V. Smell, Secretary Of Chamber

Dear Sir: l have your letter Of
February 5th relative to arrangement
for furnishing information to the
public in regard to the early morn
ing train to Sumter. 1 have investi-
gated this and have arranged for the
operator on duty to give the infor-
nation to the central operator about
1880 a. m. as to the expected arrival
of our train No. 35. and have in
structed the ticket agent when going
on duty about 4:3O o'clock a. m. to
meet this train, to secure the very
best Information again from the op-
orator and call the central office and
give the Information to them. This
you will note will furnish the advance
information about an hour and a half
prior to the schedule Of the train and
If it sheuld be delayed after that, the
information at 4:30 will correct the
matter / think this preferable to
placing an additional telephone at
the station in the telegraph office for
the reason that there are times when
the operator could not possibly! ans
wer the telephone when he is hand
ling train orders and the public in
that event would not Of course. un-
derstand why he did not answer
promptly. | am sorry Mr.. Hare
missed you on his visit to Sumter on
the Sth when he was looking into the
matter and l believe with the eXpla-
nations above, you will readily see
the wisdom of the arrangement men
toned. If, however, this does not
meet the requirements, we will lie
glad to give further consideration TO
the matter.
Yours truly.

H0KE Smith FOR WILSON.
SENATOR DECLARES GOVERNOR
is BEST FOR PRESIDENT.
"A Master of Tariff Problem. He is
thoroughly Fitted to Carry the
Banner of Democracy.

washington, Feb. 15.-Although he
served with Judson Harmon in Presi-
dent Cleveland's cabinet, Senator
Hoke Smith Of Georgia is of the opin-
ION that Gov. Woodrow Wilson is by
far the strongest candidate the Demo-
cratic party can nominate for presi-
dent. In expressing himself in behalf
or the nomination Of the New Jersey
executive, Senator Smith said today:
I'm for Gov. Wilson for no per-
sonal reason, but because 1 believe his
nomination and election will best
serve the people Of the entire coun-
try.
while he was born in Virginia and
sfent a considerable portion of his
boyhood and young manhood in Geor-
gia, he is now a great national char
acter. l can not believe that his
birthplace will LESSEN his strength in
any State.
ITO again call to the presidency a
man from the State of Washington
and Jefferson will appeal to national
patriotism Especially is this true
when that man has unsurpassed ca
pacity to help solve the present prob.
lens which concern the happiness
and prosperity Of all our people.
l. g.
ress for a square deal, for justice to
all, and at the same time for a gov
ernment of law under the constitu-
ton.
with the information gathered by
a life study fitting him peculiarly
for public service he was called to the
governorship Of New Jersey. There
he demonstrated unsurpassed capacity
to handle the practical affairs Of gov
ernment. He proved that a ripe
scholar could possess rare executive
ability.
Under his administration New
Jersey has obtained pure election
laws. intelligent regulations and su-
pervisions Of public service com
panies, legislation to promote the
health and the educational progress
Of the people and many other meas
ures Of similar nature, yet no invas-
ion has been made Of legitimate prop
erty rights.
1.-THE splendid reforms which he
led to successful completion are in
line with the work which will con-
front him as president.
"As the nominee Of the party he
| can be relied upon both by speech
| and pen to teach Democratic truths
! with a clearness which will carry con-
viction to his hearers and readers. He
is master Of the tariff problem. His
speeches upon this subject are mod
els. He has captured an immense
following throughout the entire coun-
| try
