lit has been impossible until recently

among the merchants to secure unity
OF action in closing all stores at G
o'clock p. M. every day except Sat
urday and at $50 p. M. on Saturday
oeginning with tomorrow, January
1st- The cary closing plan is in line
with the suggestion of the National
Fuel Administration for the purpose
of preventing unnecessary consump.
tson OF fuel. and the merchants are.
with scarcely an exception, cheerful
~ giving their adherence to the agree
ment. 1t is believed that the closing
-aercement will become effective to-
morrow and that not single mer
chant iargs or small. will refuse TO
accede to the request OF the fuel ad
ninistration. for they all realize THAI
IL u absolutely necessary to reduce
the consumption OF coal to smallest
possible amount TO prevent suffering
in the city. There Is not gh coal
70 supply the needs OF this commun-
ity and there will be greater and
Greater scarcity each week through.
/out the remainder OF the winter
The merchant or other business man
who refuses to reduce his fuel con-
sumption By shortening his WORKING
hours M much as possible is lacking
OF public spirit and Indifferent to tho
necessities Of his neighbors and the
FOOD OF the community. BY closing
early the consumption Of coal win be
materially decreased and no business
VIII be lost by any one. There Is
time between A. M. and p. NJ.
forSA1 thu business to be attended to
withoaf difhsulty. The early closing
agreement should also provide that
no store shall be opened before a.
IN. and that all shall close promptly
at D. m. The people of Sumter will
heartily support the plan and cooper
ate with the merchants in making It
effective.
