Keen Interest i'm Leather

Keen interest in the leather situa-
ton is being taken by shoe manufac-
turers, although the orders which are
being placed are for immediate needs
only. stronger demand for sole

The consensus of opinion among the
trade is that there will be little export

RESULTS FROM
''Y" CONFERENCE
Boys "Y" Conference Instrument
tai in Establishing Y. M. G.. A.
at S. G.. Industrial School

That great good has necessarily
come out af the oder Boys "Y" Con-
ference which was held in Sumter on
the 3rd. 4th and 5.l of las. Decem
cemher is amply proved by a letter
which has been sent here from the
South Carolina Industrial School at
Florence. The letter was written by
ri. Is. Skinner, morale officer Of the
school, and in it he states that as a
direct result of the conference. the
organization Of Y. NJ. c. A. work has
taken place in connection with the
State School and under the direction
of the county work
AT this Older Boys Conference the
delegation sent here from the South
Carolina Industrial school was COM
posed Of ii. Il. Skinner, Prof. IIach
and G.. l.. WoOdhouse, members of
the faculty of the school and Herman
Brown, Henry Mcdonald, Paul John
ston and Red" Barnet, who are at
the school This was the first ex-
pericnce OF this school in getting in
line with the Older Boys conference.
but everyone was very much encOur-
aged at the showing that they made.
There was at first some doubt as to
just how these boys would be re-
ccived by the other boys and also as
to what arrangements would be made
for their entertainment while in sum
ter. This doubt, however, was of
very short duration for two families
OF the city telephOned the committee
on arrangements and asked to enter
tain the delegation from the Indus
trial school. The boys acted so far
above the expectations Of everyone
that they were given invitations to re-
turn and inquiries were started from
many sources as to what kind of a
school the state has. l, is stated, that
it is one Of the best of it's kind in the
country.
There are in attendance at the In
dustral School about 1876 boys who
compose four militar: companies. as
the school is of the military academy
type. The companies aye b. G. ID. and
r. About 10 or Is departments are
covered by the school, including
farming, dairying. cooking. etc.
The Industrial School wants to
extend To the people of Sumter their
thanks for the kind manner in which
they were entertained during their
stay. portion of clipping from
the school paper called the Life
Buoy reads:
Sumter treated us fine and we
hoped that we showed it. We felt it,
md wanted to express it. The confer
encc was huge success and out Of 1t
we are building our own little Bible

were surprised at the ARRANGEMENTS
the officers made for us to attend the

gained from it,

TINKERING WITH
AUTO LICENSES
Pickens Legislator Proposes to
Have Clerks of Court Make
Collections

Columbia, Jan. 1f.--Transfcr of the
issuance OF licenses for motor We
hlcles from the state highway de-
partmcnt to the clerks OF courts i'm
the various counties is called for in
bin, introduced i'm the house of rem
rcsentatives today by the Pickens
delegation. The bill would allow the
clerks OF court TO retain as fee for
their services ten cents for every Ii
cense issued.
This bill would not remove the
work of purchasing the motor ve-
hIcle licenses from the state highway
department. nor would il alter the
present law as TO division OF the pro-
ceeds, but it would merely require the
state highway department to dis
ulbute licenses through the county
clerks of court, fees To be collected
! by the clerks.
Ihe county clerks would be re-
qulred to pay to the county treasur-
ers all Of their collections, after de-
ducting ten cents for each license.
this 10 be retained as a fee for ser
wees. County treasurers would be
required TO transfer eighty-five Der
ceHl Oh lne license money to the
county road funds. The remaining
fifteen per cent would be sent 10 the
state treasurer.
! Governor Cooper has favored a
Dill of this kind, though he wants
the license TO be handled on the part
of the state by the secretary of state
This measure, however, is likely to
meet with stubborn opposition Many
! LEGISLATORS oppose it, they tsay, on
the ground that il puts The licensing
| Of automobiles into county politics,
thus endangcring the chances for full
enforcement of the license law. They
also state that figures obtained from
the state highway department show
that motor vehicles licenses can be
handled with less cost by the state
highway department, as at present,
than through the county clerks! This
information is based on reports from
other states. with both plans reported
on. Vs., l.,' 81
