Mayor Jennings States That New City

that reason Council would not make
any election imme ediately However,
after the proposition to tax abutting

improvements and the bonds were is
sued another manager would be neces-
sary and his services secured This
would probably take until about Feb
ruary or later, he said, and in the
meantime the city would save the ex-
pense of managers salary.
Mr.. Jennings stated that he thought
that Sumter would lose a good man,
when Maj. Robertson left. In his es-
timation Maj. Robertson had made
good" as City Manager and he was
personally very sorry to see him leave,
yet as the change was purely volun-
tary on Mr.. Robertsons part, he
thought that Maj. Robertson was do

"The walls all hung with grinning

When brilliant light returned then

THE CITY NURSE FUND.
sumter People Called on for Support
OF Worthy Cause.

When period Of hard times is
at hand and "economize" is the chief
word, people look around to see where
they can cut down expenses. In the
last few months, many have decided
that the first way to economize was
to cease paying the Civic League nurse
fund. AS the fund is made up of small
contributions from the Sumter people
this step is not only very hard on the
fund, but if it continues, means that
the work will have to cease.
The Civic League does not believe
that the people Of Sumter want to
give up the city nurse; even for a
short time it would mean a backward
step from which it would take years
to recover. Apart from any idea of
charity, and after all this is the only
organized work Of the town, this work,
Strengthening and enforcing that of
the health department, means pro-
lection of the health Of the town.
Twice this wear have typhoid epidem-
les been avcrted by the vigilance and
efficiency OF the city nurse. Once in
the summer when case was brought
from Augusta and placed in a thickly
settled quarter on the edge Of town,
where there was no sewerage; and last
month when a case contracted in the
country came into a house in the
neighborhood of the waterworks sta
ton. Close attention and instruction
were necessary to prevent trouble in
both instances. If the 514 visits re-
ported below mean nothing more,
they do mean 514 lessons in santa
ton where they are greatly needed.
In August the collections for the
fund were $41.90, while the expenses
were $75.54; September collections,
1910, expenses $76.15; October COL
lections, $S1.75, expenses, 5000; to-
tai collection, including $40 per month
from the county, s171.35; total expen-
0SS *-rA''o, VI d uelCII VI SIV.Oo.
Fortunately there had been a small
surplus on hand or indeed the nurse
fund would have been in a sad plight.
$500 is the amount paid the nurse
as salary; the expenses cover commits
sion on collections, drugs and other
necessary equipment for her work.
Since the nurse has been allowed the
use Of a room in the basement of the
court house for an office the $500
hitherto paid for rent has been saved.
1t is hoped that the Sumter people
will not cease supporting this work,
but will give wherever they can. VOL
untary contributions are greatly ap-
preciated.
Miss Gibson, the city nurse, has
made the following report for Septem-
ber and October:

Big British Liners Race From Ger
man Men or War.
Two transatlantic liners, flying the
British flag, bound into Halifax
Thursday as a haven from German
cruisers. The unexpected arrivals
were the mammoth Cunard Liner
Mauretania and the big Cedric, of
the White Star Line. Both had been
warned by the British cruiser Essex
of the presence Of hostile vessels in
North Atlantic waters and advised to
make with all speed for Halifax. The
Essex herself conveyed the Cedric in
to port.
It was early in the day when the
Mauretania surprised Halifax by
steaming into port. Arrangements
for conveying her passengers to New
York were still in progress when word
reached there that the Cedric also
was making for that harbor.
The Mauretania brought more than
/ 500 passengers and the Cedric more
that 1000. 1t already has been ar
ranged that the Mauretania's passen-
gers proceed by the land. The Ced-
RIGS master is awaiting orders as to
the disposition of those on board his
vessel.

old and when she came to the White
House was in robust health.
Mrs. Wilson was Miss Ellen Louise
Axson, daughter of a Presbyterian
clergyman, and was born in Savan.
nah, Ga. She was student at the
New York Art league when she met
Mr.. Wilson, who then was taking a
postgraduate course at Johns Hop
kins. The president and Mrs. Wilson
were married June "a, 1885. Mrs.
Wilson was sister of Prof. Stockton
Arson, head Of the department of
English literature at Princeton, and
of the wife of Dean Edward Elliott
of Princeton.
A landscape gardener and paint
er of we'll recognized ability, Mrs.
Wilson devoted much of her time to
artistic subjects. She took personal
charge of the gardens at Prospect"
while Mr.. Wilson was president of
Princeton and also Of the White
House gardens. She had the appear!
ance of what is called "an outdoors
woman. Her skin was smooth and
girlish, and her eyes, until recently,
sparkled with health. She was known
as a beautiful woman.
Mrs. Wilson's indoor life had been
devoted to books and artistic pur-
suits. Her paintings have taken
prizes in competition. Her social OBJ
legations forced her to omit some of
her accustomed artistic and literary
recreation after she became mistress
of the White House, but as the ttFirst
Lady Of the Land" she was ever
ready with advice and material help,
wherever a good cause might benefit.
Her domestic life is described as
having been attractive. She had a
knowledge of the domestic arts, and
was a good cook. It is related of her
that she liked to prepare dishes or
have them prepared under her per-
sonal supervision for the president,
and that she always made it point
personally to prepare for him the
orange juice he has with his break
fast.
