LEAK IN WATER MAIN.
Flooded Cellar OF Store and Madc
Way up Between Brick.

A leak in the water main on Main
street directly in front of the Rivers
Bultman Quitting Company Thurs
day afternoon flooded the cellar Of
that building and gave the owners Of
the store considerable trouble, al
though it did not damage them to
any extent. However, the cutting off
of the water all along Main Street in
order to get to the pipe to repair it
caused citizens on the line quite
great deal of annoyance.
AS one Of the valves on Hampton
avenue leaked too badly for the re-
pairs to be conveniently made the first
work was TO repair the valve. This
took from Thursday afternoon until
6 o'clock Friday morning, when, af-
ter working at the valve all night
City Manager Robertson and Super
intendent of Water Works w. w.
McKagen had the repairs on the
valve completed. They then went to
work on the leak in the water main,
from which the water was trickling
up between the Vitrilied brick on
Main street. After removing the
paving at several places the leak in
the main was discovered and efforts
were at once made to pump out the
water, so that repairs could be made.
Later the water was shut off from the
main and the leaks in the pipe stop
ped.

In discussing the proposed trade
excursion trip of Charleston jobbers
and wholesalers yesterday, Secretary
smell. Of the Chamber of Commerce,
said that many prospective members
or the excursion party were hesitat-
ing because they fear that they will
not be received cordially by the
tradespeoplc of the towns visited.
mat such fears are absolutely with
out foundation was the positive dec
laration of Mr.. Smell. He spoke of
the clipping reproduced below, from
a Sumter paper, as proof Of the fact
that the Charleston boosters would be
gladly welcomed at all of the towns
on the route, it showing the spirit in
which Sumter received the Florence
eXcursionists, who consist Of retailers,
instead Of wholesalers and jobbers.
Following is the clipping referred to:
AT special meeting of the
A" oi uAicSloiS Ol the CnamDer Oh
commerce held last night, it was de-
clded to request the citizens of Sum-
ter and the Sumter Band to assemble
next Tuesday afternoon to march to
the Atlantic Coast Line depot to well
come the Florence boosters and es-
cort the visitors up to some place in
the heart of the city, where suitable
courteSles can be extended them by
organized business interests of Sum-
ter.
Every citizen of Sumter, whether
member Of the Chamber of Com
merce or not, is invited and requested
to meet at the corner of Main and
Liberty streets at 2.2O o'clock, when
tho band begins to play.
The mayor and councilmen, city
manager, other city officials, and the
officers, directors and members Of
the Chamber Of Commerce and Retail
Dealers Association, Sumter Business
Mems Club and all others who are in
terested in showing the hospitable
and clever visitors from our sister
city that the "Gamecock City Of Sum-
ter" is delighted to welcome SO many
hustling and clever South Carolin-
ians to our city are urged to make
special efforts to assist in the welcome
only one hour Of your time will be
taken up, as that is all the visitors
will spend here. Florence citizens are
great friends Of Sumter. That city
and it's people have been sticking by
Sumter for many years in every event
that Sumter has pulled off. Hundreds
of former Sumter men and women
are living in that city, and many for
mer Flcrentines are now living in
Sumter. The two cities are bound to-
gether by ties OF blood, friendship,
good will and reciprocal business re-
lations. Sumter man or woman is
always sure OF a royal welcome and
q good time in Florence. We loyc
Florence. but Sumter must not per-
NIT Florence citizens to GO away say
ing that Sumter was lacking in hos
pitality."
