been nothing Of the archduke about
him. He has worked and studied and
learned and observed and done his
duty in every way without for one

been very much surprised if anybody
had suggested that he should be

Mr.. Hurst to Give up Position of City
Clerk and Treasurer After Seven.
teen Years.
From the Daily Item, Oct. 2.

From the Daily Item, Oct. 2.
Mr.. G. NJ. Hurst, who for the pas,
seventeen years has been the eilicien,
clerk and treasurer of the City OF
Sumter, today stated that it was with
feeling of sadness that he leaves
the position which he has held for SO
many years and sewers connection
which at all times have been pleasant
to him. He stated that he would not
leave the city's employ at once, but
would remain until council had found
II satisfactory man to fill the position
He had an understanding with the
Bank Of Sumter and with the council
before he had announced his decis-
ion to accept the position with the
Bank of Sumter.
Mr.. Hurst has been with the city
just seventeen years this month and
has always been competent, obliging
and popular official. He has always
had the friendship Of every man who
has served on council during that time
and his associations with the other
employees Of the city have always
been Of the pleasantest. He stated to-
day that during the whole time that
he had been in office he had never
had one cross word with any Of the
city officials or employees with whom
he was connected. which is a record
which few could claim.
While no definite date has been
fixed for the election of q city clerk
and treasurer to succeed Mr.. Hurst, it
is probable that 1t will take place at
the next meeting Of City Council,
which Is usually held on the second
Tuesday night In the month. Several
persons have made application for the
position. but 1t is understood that no
choice has yet been made.
