Test OF New Fire Truck.

Tuesday morning sharply at the 10
! o'clock hour The big new fire truck
In all it's splendor turned the Liberty
street corner with bell a-ringing and
parked at the Main and Liberty street
corner fire plug for it's first test in
sumter. the trucks new home. The
truck is certainly "a thing of beauty"
ana piece Of perfection along the
lines OF machinery. The tests were
carried out this morning without q
single hitch under the management
or our firemen and b. A. Wonder. the
expert mechanic from the Seagrave
Factory of Columbus, Ohio. Mr. f.
T.. Sanders. connected with the fac
tory was also well pleased with the
actions of the truck.
TWO short lines Of hose were con-
nected to the pump on the truck from
the Main street hydrant and three
streams of water taken off from the
pump BY tests it was shown that
the pump In operation together with
the hydrant water pressue gave out q
capacity water volume Of over 1000
gallons of water per minute. One
stream of water was thrown to the
ing. There was certainly much wa
ter extracted from said hydrant this
morning. II was as If Old Faithful
Guyser had been transplantcd to the
heart of the town with the abund-
ance OF spray n everything. however,
the stream was not intermittent
After the street test the truck was
taken out to Second Mill where the
pump showed the lifting capacity of
sac gallons of water at one time and
steadily threw $50 gallons per min
ute through the two lines of hose
coming from the pump. The engine
OF the truck was run continuously
Tor long period of time without
showing even the slightest tendency
toward heating. This truck has q
special cooling system whereby con
slant circulation of fresh and cold
water is in continual circulation
through the radiator.
The tests made were very satisfac-
tory i'm the extreme and everyone was
well pleased at the splendid showing
made by the truck.

Capital Stock of
Bank Now 100000.
National Bank of South Carolina
of Sumter Increases Capital
Stock

On March 1st the comptroller of
the currency authorized the increase
of the capital stock of the NationaI
Bank Of South Carolina of Sumter
from 100000 to 100000. The stock
has all been taken and this bank now
has capital stock of $500, 900, and
profits approximate the same.
This bank was started in 1905 with
a capital stock of 100000 which was
later increased to S120,000. Anoth-
er increase was made which gave the
bank 100000 capital stock, and now
the present increase carries it to
100000. This 100000 increase in
the capital stock makes this bank
better prepared to do business than
ever before as the capital and sur
plus Will indicate. Although this in
stitution has a handsome surplus, it
has paid it's stockholders more than
100000 in dividends.
The National Bank of South Caro-
lima has an active management and
while taking care of it's old business
it is continually looking out for
new.
