What Commission-Manager

SUMTER, S. c., is a city very sim.
liar to Americas in many re.
spects. 1t has population of about
10000 and is located in purely ag-
ricultural section. Sumter, prior to
1913, was operated under the old
Mayor-Council form of government,
but its citizens were not satisfied
with the progress which the city was
making. Effective January !, 1913,
the full Commission-Man form
was adopted, and according to an
authentic report received from Of
fetal sources, here are some of the
things accomplished during the first
five years:

improvements under this system in

"The yearly audit Of all accounts.

Many Wraps Are White.

For southern wear many of the
wraps being prepared by the speciality
shops follow the mode of the old time
French cape known as the "visite."
This was quaint, long, narrow affair
gathered up about the neck. This model
was followed out at one place in white
velvet gathered to a band of ermine
and lined with pomegranate red crepe
de chine. White wraps are, by the
way, being exploited much for the
Florida resorts. So are the black ones.
Both depend for their beauty largely
on vivid Innings of orange and citroD
and rose and henna.
