Hog Raising I'm Town.

Editor OF The Item:
Dear Sir: am glad to see you
have taken up the matter Of raising
hogs in the city. wrote the mayor
some time ago on this subject, but he
was so much opposed to rescindine
the old ordinance. that / said no
more
The mistake Council made was in
wording the ordinance. They should
have forbidden any hog pens and al.
lowed any one to raise hogs who
would provide a lot of sufficient size
for the hogs to run i'm, say at least
80 feet by so feet or $50 square feet
for each hog. and require the 10:
raked over ut least once n month and
the droppings used AS fertilizer. Yes
wc need the food. and my experience
Of 40 years in raising hogs is that il
given Il half chance he is the clean
est animal we have And ! never have
heard of any sickness from hog lot
Yours truly,
ID. James VIM.

industry, with ray roll of Thousands
of dollars a week-an industry worth
half dozen cotton mills to the
town-by making homes for the
young women employees. The en-
ployees of the works, both men and
women. will be skilled workmen,
drawing high wages and their earn
ings will grow larger as their skill in
creases, for the piece work system Of
payment has baen adopted and a
workman's compensation is limited
only by his skill and productive ca
pacity.
The Sumter Electrical Works is
backed by unlirnited capital, and a
great organization and it's future
growth, and, incidentally the growth
of Sumter as an Industrial center, is
limited only by the ability Of the town
to realize and utilize the opportunity
that is now presented. The people OF
Sumter are called upon to furnish
both workers and homes for workers,
in order that the plant may grow and
prosper.

Sumter County's share of the $685.
100000 Y. Nj. G.. A. War Fund has
been raised after an active campaign
which came to an end last night. The
county was asked to raise $4,000 and
this sum was raised by the various
local committees that have solicited
contributions in this city and all sec.
tions OF the county during the past
week At the meeting of the Sumter
committee last night. when reports
were tabulated it was found that the
goal had almost been reached. with
some committees still to make final re
ports. Ii was decided to guarantee to
raise the apparent deficit and to re-
port to headquarters at once that
Sumter county had agreed to give the
full amount asked for. There is no
doubt about the full $4,000 being
raised, and it is the hope and expec-
tation of the central committee to
make Sumter's contribution to the Y.
Nj. c. A. War Fund an even $4,000.

A GREAT INDUSTRY.
Sumter Electrical Works Enters Pc.
riOd of Expansion.

The Sumter Electrical Works, the
local branch Of the great Splitdorf
Electrical Company, is at present in
process Of expansion and develop
ment SO that the output may be very
greatly increased. To accomplish
this purpose the plant is being in
creased and modernized by the in
stallation of many thousands of dol
lars worth of machinery, the rear
rangement Of the plant and the re-
organization of the shop force. The
stallation Of new machinery lis un-
der way, but will not be completed
FOR some weeks as the congested con-
dition of all transportation lines has
delayed the delivery of a great deal
OF the machinery that is in transit.
The new organization of the shop
force has been worked out and at a
meeting of officers. department super
lntendents and foremen last night the
program for promoting team work
efficiency and speeding up the manu-
featuring process was explained and
discussed. The organization of the
working force is recognized to be OF
more importance than the equipment
OIL the plant and to make this organ
ization as perfect and efficient as pos
sible is the purpose of every man
connected with the company.
The next step will be the employ
ment Of large number of new work
men in all departments. The growth
of the Sumter Electrical Works is
just beginning and the number of
employees will probably be doubled
before the new year, il the men and
women can be found to fill the places
open for them and do the work that
is here for them to do. Orders are
piling up much faster than the
finished product can be turned out by
the present force. numbering about
four hundred. Consequently new ma =
chinery is being put in and moro
workmen must be hired
The growth and prosperity of the
Sumter Electrical Works means n
great deal to Sumter, for it is the
only real big manufacturing enterprise
that this city has ever had and the
possibilities OF it's growth are now un-
limited.
But there is an, obstacle i'm the way
OF rapid enlargement of the working
force. The large number of men and
women needed cannot be obtained in
Sumter and II several hundred men
and women are brought here from
other places. homes must be provided
for them. Some Of the new workmen
Will, OF course. be men of family and
VIII rent houses and make their own
homes but the majority will be youna
men and young women who mus!
have comfortable boarding places
Right now the works needs fifty o.
more young women to work in the
winding department and the profile n
of finding homes in the city for them
is more difficult than finding the
young women. The people of Sumte .
can materially assist in making GER
tain the growth and prominence of
the Electrical Works as O great Local
