Sumter, Jan. 8, 1912,

To The Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Of the City of Sumter, S.
C., Gentlemen: We, the under
signed. residents and taxpayers of the
City Of Sumter, being informed that
the South Carolina and Western Rail-
way has offered to build it's line of
railway into the City o. Sumter from
BishOpyille, and to extend the same
by Sumter in a Southerly direction.
said railway being q part of and
controlled by the Seaooard Air Line
Railway system, and understanding
that the building of said road into
the City of Sumter is conditioned up
on the donation, Of Rights of Way
from a point two miles South Of
Bishopville to a point two miles
South Of Sumter, including Rights of
Way through the City Of Sumter and
terminal facilities in the City Of
Sumter. and that the cost Of same
will approximate Thirty Thousand
Dollars. and realizing as we do the
great benefit to he derived by the
City of Sumter, from having it's rail-
road established. in the City, it being
| intimated that the said road is 70 be
a through line from Charleston or
Georgetown TO the West aid o part
of the main line system Of the Sea-
Diard Air Line we desire to recon-
mend to your body, that you raise
the necessary funds to pay the ex.
penses necessary to the building Of
the said. railroad into the City of
Sumter.
We. therefore pray that you take
such steps. as may, in your wisdom
seem best. to raise the money, ap-
proximately Thirty Thiusand Dol
lars for the purpose aforesaid, and
that YOU pay the cost Of obtaining
said railroad, including said Rights
Of Way and terminal facilities out of
the ordinary funds OF the City, and
we agree that the money lc paid out
Of said ordinary funds. and that
your body apply the ordinary funds
Of the City toward that purpose, and
we bind ourselves respectively, each
acting for himself or herself, not to
in any manner interfere with the COL
| lection Of the necessary money for
the purposes aforesaid. by the City.
We ere moved to make this recon-
! mendation and request Of YOU, by
reason Of the benefits to he derived
not only by the community hut eth
er directly or indirectly by each Of
us as individuals.
We understand that the taxes
| which will be levied against this rail-
| road, will be sufficient in short
space Of time to repay the entire
cost, and it seems to us that the
method that we have suggested above
is the equitable and proper WY to
obtain the money, as the cost will if
this course be adopted. fall equitahly
upon all taxpayers in the City.

JAPAN FENCES I NsAvaGEs

Washington. Jan. 23-Dr. Inazu Nj
tobe. professor of colonial administra-
ton at the University of Tokyo, japan.
who is visiting his country as the
guest of the Carnegie peace commits
sion. last night lectured on the changes
that have taken place in the island
OF Formosa since it's acquisition by
Japan, before the National Geographic
society at h new Masonic temple. His
lecture was illustrated with lantern
slides.
DIR. Nitobe said that when Jana.
nese assumed control the island was a
prey to the most deadly fevers. Today
they are almost unheard of. The jap
anese were harassed by headman
tribes and were compelled to fence off
that part of the island inha bited by the
SaVages.
A three strand wire fence some 800
miles in length was erected. The mid.
die wire carries a heavy charge of
electricity. After a number had been
killed by the current they decided to
let it alone. Since then many have
given up their arms and have obtain.
ed liberty.
Or. Nitobe 10 one of the best known
educators and scholars of Japan and
has written a book on the creeds Of
the old Japanese knights. which has
been translated and published in twen-
ty different languages.

CHILDREN TAKEN TO
STATE SCHOOL At
0WATONNA
Associated Charities Decide
That to Be the Best
Course .

Edna and Harry Close. and the four
children of Mrs. Matt Nelson, will be
taken to Owatonna. Mimi, this even
ing by Mrs. Jacob kaufman. where
they will be given into the care of the
state training school for dependent
children.
Both the Close and the Nelson cases
have their pathetic sides. Tho two
Close children were taken in charge
by the Associated Charities when their
mother was found nearly dead in her
house suffering from alcoholic poison
ing and exposure. They were given
into the care of an excellent family
of Warsaw, n. D.. where they were
given as fine a home as any child could
desire. \ longing to get back to the
city made the girl unruly and the re-
suit was that about Il month ago the
children were returned to the Asso-
ciated Charities.
The Nelson children, two boys and
two girls, range in g from 2 months
to s years.. have been under the care
of the Associated Charities for the
past two months. They will be taken
to the school at Owatonna until the
mother is able to take care of them.
The husband, Matt Nelson, deserted
his wife and family some time ago,
and with the 2-months-old baby in
her care the mother has heen UNI
able to care for her family or secure
work.
Mrs. Jacob Kaufman has proved the
guardian angel of all six children and
has devoted her time to seeing that
they received are during the cold
weather.
