IMPROVERS TALK
LIGHT MATTERS
United Body Seeking to Inter
pref Full Meaning Of Pro-
posed Contract.
TRY TO SAVE s.cENT RATE

Wanted-A man who can read the
English in the proposed electric light
ing contract and transl it so that
the stipulations cannot be misunder-
stood. Apply in person TO E. W. Sim
nett, president of the United Improve
ment Clubs association.
Mysterious utterances were made
Friday night when eighteen leaders
OF Improvement societies gathered
in the cit, hall to discuss the tenets
of the new electric lighting contract
and its relation to the 6-cent electric
lighting rate. The whole eighteen men
spoke their opinion and then voted
to postpone action until the next
meeting. They couldn't agree on
what the clauses meant or what their
future results would be.
To Study 1t Over.
The motion OF R. J. Sutton OF the
West Leavenworth Improvement club
ito 20 home and study it section by
section" finally prevailed. but not I'M
til Sutton had defied every man in the
room to stand up and tell what the
contract said and what il meant to
say. H. J. Matthews clinched Sutton's
argument with the abrupt question,
why should we go on record as APP
proving something about which we
know nothing"
M. ]. Greevy of the Hanscom Park
Improvement club and secretary OF
the United Improvement clubs, urged
the members mot to be tools tor
the commissioner. Mr.. Howell is a
member of the Hanscom Park club.
Friends of Mr.. Howell vigorously de-
Tended him.
III we don't accept this contract"
said Mr.. Greevy. I'VE will be tied up
in litigation for years and at the end
of five years, we won't be financially
able to purchase any elcctic lighting
plant. Our taxes have increased 1917
per cent in the last year and If prohi-
bition passes this year, another 81 per
cent will be heaped upon us What
will our taxation burdens be five
years hencei"
President Sinnett counseled: The
fight is between Mr.. Howell and the
electric lighting company, and we
must be careful not to be the cats
paw OF either. Howell wants com
peting lighting company. We don't
want that. But II this contract is de-
feated, our 6-cent electric light rate is
indefinitely postponed. The contract
and the rate are mutually dependent"
Oppose Referendum.
Sentiment expressed was against a
referendum vote il il should be a
means OF securing a competing plant.
The improvers did not want two cleo
trio light plants through any eventu-
atty. ..
The improvement clubs represented
at the meeting were Central Park,
Clairmont, Druid Hill, Fontenelle
Homes, Greater Omaha. Hanscom
Park, Southeast, Beal and West Leav-
enworth.

"GOOD FOR $4,000 A YEAR

The Index did not suggest that tax
of fifty cents a package on all whiskey
shipments as joke. If it is legal IL
Birmingham, Ala, it ought to be in
Greenwood.
Officially the express shipments OF
whiskey here average two hundred
a week. Fifty cents the package
would bring into the town treasury
one hundred dollars a week. One
hundred dollars the week for one
year, fifty-two weeks, will bring in
five thousand and two hundred dol
lars. This will pay several items OF
municipal expense and is worth look
ing into.-Greenwood Index
This reminds US of story that We
used to hear in the days of the dis
pensary. The story runs, that trav-
cling man got into Abbeville one
evening after the dispensary had clos
ed. and he was just little thirsty, so
he called one of the bell boys at the
hotel and asked him OF the chance Of
securing little something to drink.
The boy replied, Am sorry, boss, but
we have the dispensary here ana it
closes at sundown and will not open
until tomorrow morning, but il you
really want something to drink and
will get me a horse and buggy, will
run over to Greenwood and get you all
you want
The point is that Greenwood was at
that time a prohibition county. And
it would seem from the amount tnat
the Index says is shipped in there
each week that it is still a prohibition
county, with a plenty of the stuff to
supply the really thirsty And then il
should be remembered that Green
wood has great many other towns
with express offices.
We have not the facts, but we
would think that not half of two hun
dred gallons is receievd at Nebwerry
per week, and some o. the thirsty in
clined live hereabout also.
We are inclined to agree with the
Index. however, that this plan of levy
ing small tax on each shipment
would be a good way to raise some
revenue, and then whiskey is not ne
cessary, and if the people want to IN
dulge in its use let them pay for it.
But we do not believe it would raise
anything like $4,000 a year in New
berry.

DEATH OF MRS. H. C. SUMMER.

Mrs. H. &c. Summer died at her home
near Pendleton on Sunday morning,
March II, at o'clock. She had not
been in good health '.or year or more,
and while her death was not unexpect-
ed at any time, still it was a great
shock to her aged husband and the
other members of the family.
Before her marriage she was Miss
Mary Jane iScruggs, a daughter of
Robert scruggs, citizen of Helena.
Mrs. Summer was born August IA.
1S47, and was, therefore. in her 69th
year at the time o. her death.
She was married to Mr.. Summer on
the 18th day of December, 1867, and
if she had lived until the coming De-
cember one year would have made
their pilgrimage through life's high
way together a half century. A long
time, humanity speaking, for two peo-
pie to journey together as man and
wife, and yet but a span. She is sur
vived by her aged husband, who is all
broken up by the breaking o. the ten
der ties which have existed during
this half century. but he must be sus-
tanned by the assurance that all things
are done for the best of those who
journey here. though we may not at
the time be able to see it. He has
the sympthy of host of friends IN
his loneliness. She is also survived
by one daughter and two sons. Mrs.
Cole L. Blease and H. Clint Summer,
Jr., and Jack c. Summer. The two
boys made their home with their pa
rents at Pendleton and Mrs. Blease
lives in Columbia. The amily has been
greatly blessed as this is the first
death and the first vacant chair in the
household during all these years.
Mrs. Summer lived at Helena the
greater pat Of her life, and only few
years ago the family moved to Pendle
ton where they have fine old coun-
try place.
The marriage certificate shows that
the marriage ceremony of Mr.. and Mrs.
Summer was performed by the Rev. NV.
D. Mayfeld, Baptist minister, and
the ather of Mr. W: D. Mayfeld who
was at one time State superintendent
Of education for South Carolina.
Mrs. Summer was a member of the
Baptist church and was loving wife
and an indulgent mother and a kind
and thoughtful neighbor.
Burial was had at Rosemont ceme-
terry in Newberry on Monday after
noon, the services being conducted
rom the residence of Mr.. julius Eison
at 4:30 o'clock by the Revs. E. " Babb
and F. E. Dibble.
