tic Show i'm MOrning-Ercc Lectures


Arrangements have been made be-
tween the Sumter Horse Show Asso-
citation and the Sumter Chamber of
Commerce whereby the exhibits Of
cattle and swine will be free during
the mornings to every one interested
in improved breeds of this class of
live stock.

stock, by experts of Clemson College
and the United States Department of
Agriculture during the morning hours
Will be absolutely free to the public.
These lectures will be delivered in
front of the grand stand every morn
ing during the 1915 fall horse, cattle

The throwing open of the grounds

INSTALL LEDGER MACHINE.
commercial and Savings Bank Adds
Modern Convenience to Its Equip
mcnt.

The Commercial * Savings Bank in
Keeping abreast of the times has add
cd a new Burroughs ledger and post
ing machine to it's office cquipmcnt. a
labor saving device which in time and
work VIII much more than repay for
Itself in less than a year. This is the
first MACHINE of its kind i'm any bust
ness house in the city, but it is a
machine which banks especially hav,
found convenient and have been in
stalling all over the country.
The new machine is u posting ma =
chine for ledger and statement work.
1t Is operated on ,hc same principle as
a typewriter but is usefulness lies in
the fact that it can do by machinery
us fast as the fingers and hands can
move, work that it would take the
brain much longer to do. The instru-
ment is wonderful piece of machin-
cry, whose beauty consists in the fact
that 1t is absolutely accurate and the
Dook-keeper has not the same worry
as in doing the work by head and not
by hand. With the new machine the
accounts of depositors are kept in
duplicate, in the ledger and in state
ments which are issued to the deposi-
tor monthly, instead Of resorting to
the former method of balancing up
each individual pass book at the end
of the month. The sheets being loose
are merely taken from the ledger con-
tanning the statement and new sheets
for the new month take their place
In fact everything that the book-kecp-
er ordinarily would do is done by ma
chine, and to make matters still more
simple, the machine is operated by
the mere pressing Of button, as an
electric drive is attached and this
makes the instrument move automati-
cally, almost, as we'll as add and sub
tract.

time was ours for the evening.
Immediately after each one had

Ienjoying the hospitality of such
icharming host and hostess.
! y First i. was proposed that the game
of'Racing should be played This was
found very amusing. as 1t was particl-

with iced tea was served Japanese
style. on the lawn by Misses Cain and
kolb. OF course. this received JUS

OF each member of the Philathea class.
We were then asked into the back
parlor whore quite number of games
were played. Comic recitations were
given by our best entertainers. The
game of Boots without shoes was
much enjoyed, as there were quite a
number to be initiated, and, you Just
bet this was carried out thoroughly.
except for the goat, and he was un-
thoughtedly left at home. For the
next ten minutes we were busily en-
gagged sending kilograms, composed of
ten words the letters of which were
taken from the word "Philatheas."
After hard decision, Misses Kolb and
Monday were found TO be the lucky
winners. and were presented with q
lovely box OF stationery by Mr.. Thay-
er.
AS the hands of the big clock
pointed to the early morning hours,
much to our regret, we were obliged
to start Oh our homeward ride.

the members of the class as having
had the time of her life"

their automobiles.
