Sunday was one Of the most disagree
able DAYS the city has experienced for
long time. The people of the city
woke up in the morning to the music OF
n severe rainfall and during the forenoon
rain continued to come down. In the
afternoon II stopped and the thermom-
eter started downward plunge which
threatened to make IL one of the coolest
nights OF the year. The streets were COW
cred with ice and water and blacksmiths
were forced to get out and get to work,
as tho owners of horses which were not
sharp shod did not dare to take chance
OF not being able to get them out Of the
stable on Monday if the water should
freeze. Thanks to the fact that Street
Commissioner Estey had seen to it tina,
liberal amount of sand had been put
on the sidewalks. they were in fair con-
dition except there was an occasional
puddle OF water, but on the whole 1t
was not bad walking. The rain and high
wind OF the morning. however, kept
many people indoors and those who did
get out in many cases got a thorough
drenching, and number of umbrellas
were alongside the roads where they
had been turned inside out and ruined.
II will easily pass as the most disa-
greeable day OF the year so far

whether due TO indifference or 10
the further fact that glass jars have
largely taken the place OF tin cans for
preserving. the efforts OF the Sumter
Chamber OF Commerce and the Sum-
ter home and farm demonstration
agents to secure sufficient orders TO
warrant them In ordering a carload OF
cans have signally failed and tho at
tempt has been abandoned.
The tnct Is that not ten thousant
cans wcrc ordered In response to the
offer TO. order and dispose of car
load Mt Actual cost.
Local dealers say that great
many cos have been already ordered
and disposed of above the normal de-
mand. and that several carloads OF
glass jars have been sold already this
season.
IL seems that for home consump-
tion the glass jar has for the pres
ent taken the place largely of the tin
can. Local can dealers or hardware
merchants are shy about stocking up
on tin cans as they are an uncertain
conmercial commodity for sale. and
when Il. becomes necessary to carry
over big supply from one season to
another the loss is pretty heavy
owing to the small profit on cans. and
the trouble Of handling tin cans, as
they require much rehandling and
packing, and take up much space.
Some who ordered cans through the
Chamber Of Commerce cancelled their
orders before the efforts to purchase
a carload were well under way, ieav-
Ing approximately seven thousand
cans ordered where fifty to seventy
thousand are necessary to order a car
load. a
