Now, l don't mean that any one who

is really as Iheartless as that, but the

that appearance, and then as to giving
you any of the road, why they only say,

YOU better get.

editor said in the last issue. l really
wonder if it is true? 1 wonder if
any one will ever remember that The
Idler has been dreaming of park for
so many years. And that have about
worn out my typewriter-the machine
of course-in an effort to wake up the
people of the community. Well, don't
care-really l don't Whether any one
remembers that or not, just so we
have the park, and the editor has not
made the statement prematurely. The

Sumter, May 1S.-J. R. Sumter, chief
of police, interviewed tonight said:
81 have understood for some time
that I was to be appointed chief con-
stable. When 1 was summoned by
phone Saturday to report to the gov

the position was then to be officially
rendered me. When I arrived in Co
lumbia and saw the governor he offered
me instead tie position of assistant to
Sheriff Martin, of Charleston, which 1
declined"
1t was generally understood about
town that Mr.. Sumter would be chief
constable Mayor Jennings admitted
that Sumter had unoficially rendered
his resignation.

While Gov. Manning was in Sum-
ter Tuesday his secretary gave out the
following statement:
''The report is an error that was sent
out from Sumter that John r. Sumter
chief of police there, had been appoint
ed by Gov. Manning chief constable
of the State There is no such posi-
ton, nor is there any State constabu-
larry. Gov. Manning announced in the
beginning of his term that he would
look to the local officers to enforce the
law in their territory Any cons:abIes
he may. find it necessary to appoint
will be mere as assistants to the al
ready constituted authorities. Mr..
Sumter is not in the service of the

tracts Totalins $4,000.
Jefferson, Aug. 23.-Thirty-fiv five miles
Of tile in one drainage project, besides
about two and one-half miles Of open
ditch! That is the description of No.
101, the big project which extends
from northwest of Scranton a couple
Of miles to a point about eight and
one-half miles southeast Of Scranton.
or stretch Of country more than ten
miles long.
No. 101 will drain approximately
10000 acres. The engineer Of the pro-
ject, S. j. Nelson, OF Jachsun, esii
mated the total cost Of $135,OO0, or al
most the equivalent Of what Greene
county is investing in new court
house! If spread evenly upon all the
acres the cost would be about $14 per
acre.
The open work Of the big project Is
an extending and deepening of Green
brier creek thru the farms of r. NJ.
Henderson, G. E. Radebaugh, Daniel
Healy, John Koran and James Han
sen. The stream, which is now a
small branch ranging in depth from one
foot to three feet, will be deepened to
about or feet on an average. AS
result Of this tear-up of soil about
$4,000 in damage claims have been al
lowed by the board.
The open ditch contract was Sc
cured by r. j. Phelps, Of Davenport,
on his bid Of 11A cents per cubic yard.
There were only two or three COM
plete bids, on the tile laying, and, as
"a result, all bids were rejected on
this part of the job and a new adj
vertisement will be published.
The contratct for furnishing the
tile was secured by Messrs. NJ NJ. &
r. C. Head, present owners of the old
Tanner plant and now doing busi-
ness under the name Of the Jefferson
Cement Products Company. They Sc
cured the contract, for tile for the
sum Of $5s,555.40, or about $4,000 I'M

state law librarian, has compiled sta
itstics showing the cost of the cleo
ton and primaries in the counties Of
the state for the years 1910, 1912 and
1914. Not all of the counties report
ed but complete statistics Of all the
counties except Warren are shown sin
the report. The information is be-
ing published in the official red book
put out by the secretary Of state
office.
The average county spends from $3,-
600 to $4,000 on the primary and the
election. The counties which include
cities Of considerable population Of
course spend the most. Polk county
in 1914 spent over $4,000 on it's cleo
ton and primary, being the largest
amount spent by any county in the
state. OF this amount $4,000 was
spent on the primary and $1,000 on the
election. Scott county spent the next
largest sum, the election costing S5,-
343.S5 and the primary $3,403.43, max
ing a total Of $8,747.2S. Pottawattamie
county spent s6.341.74, of which $3,-
100 was for the election and $2,5SO.s6
for the primary. Woodbury. county
spent sS,666.51. ranking just a tride
below Scott on the amount expended
in 1914. Dubuque county spent &c.
5S2.91. Blackhawk s5,632.22, and Mar
shall s5,371.ss.
Hancock Spends Least.
Hancock county spent only $1,255.3O
on the election and primaries in 1914,
being the smallest amount reported
by any county. Worth county spent
$1,000, Emmett $1,69O, Audubun ST.
777.46 Dickinson $4,000. A number Of
counties spent around $4,000.
This is the first time such COM
pilation has been made and it affords
some interesting figures for COMPARE
son. Some of the reports show the
primaries cost more than the cleo
ton. Next year there will be two
primaries, the preferential presiden-
tial primaries on the second Monday
in April, and the June primaries. Then
the election in November will be the
general election which requires more
printing and supplies and is therefore
more costly than the average cleo
ton.
