As les usual everywhere the people
of Sumter are indignant over the an
nouncement of Sumters census, the
bureau giving population Of only
9,508 when it was confidently expected
it would be in the neighborhood OF
$4,000. Sumter citizens have always
thought that Sumter was a very re-
'markable place and now the census
report only goes to confirm that opin-
ion; for in ten years, the little city
has improved 100 per cent. in appear
ance, school attendance, business en-
terprises, bank capitals and methods
of doing things and all this with al
increase of only 17.3 per cent in pop
ulation then indeed Sumter is more
remarkable than even its most zeal

MEMORIAL FUND.
Some Liberal Contributions Recently

Citizens.
Columbia, March 3O.-David r.
Coker, of Hartsville, has placed him.
self in the $1,000 class donations for
the South Carolina Memorial build
ing. A check for this amount was re-
ceived from him by the headquarters
of the memorial commission today.
Mr.. Coker, former food administra-
tor for the State, has taken a decided
interest in the memorial and has con-
tributed not only his time, but his
money to make it a success.
Others who have contributed 81 200
to the memorial are P. A. Wilcox of
Florence and Ex-Governor Richard l.
Manning. The largest single dona-
ton was made by the grand lodge of
Masons of South Carolina, which gave
the commission a check for $4,000,
authorized at the last meeting of the
grand lodge.
Renewed interest is being manifest
ed throughout the State in the memo
rial; practically all the county chair
men state that they are ready to start
intensive campaigns to raise the allot-
ments of their counties.
A Statewide campaign to raise
the remainder of the 100000 to be
contributed by the people of the State
will be put on April 10th to April
3Oth, inclusive, and it is hoped that
the full amount will be raised during
this period. Members of the COM
mission say that the prospects for this
consumation look bright.
Former Governor Manning, vice
chairman of the commission, has been
putting a deal of his time behind the
movement, and will continue to re-
main at the steering wheel until the
campaign has been concluded. He
spent the larger part Of last week in
Columbia lining up the counties, and
arranging details of the campaign.
