White Cross Bread and White Cross Methods

n ETER NJ DORSCH met US at the
i main entrance to his factory Of
sweet smells as smiling and af-
fable as that jolly miller who held
q voting residence near the River
Dee Being q mighty busy execu-
tive, he could not steer US through
the bakery himself. 'delegating the
task to his superintendent, whose
name we won't use on his own mod

man. holding college degrees as tes-
timony to the thoroughness of his
education in the science and art of
baking, wasn't at all backward in
his exposition of -the works" over
which he exercises managership.
All we had to do was to check
him when he became too technical
on the subjects of bread chemistry,
effects of humidity on dough, and
things like that.
We began at the beginning-the
hour storage room-bearing in mind
the significance of the white cross

ing, a sort of talisman by which
every one of the 100 and more
Dorsch employees swears.

bathtub. 1t was rolled away to q

mixers (these, by the way. have
capacity of three barrels Of flour
each) with the addition of best con-
densed milk and sugar. Full de

speed revolution.
Now, by ingenious machinery, the
dough passes down to a dexterous
mechanism on the first floor. whence
1t issues in rough loaf form, auto
matically scaled. and ready for the
proofing process. Four at a time,
the loaves are conveyed to the
proofer by a belt and, behind glass
walls, can be seen moving up and
down and weaving back and forth.
After six or eight minutes has suf-

goes to the molder. where its shape
becomes more familiar. Then comes
the proofing cabinet. Here. i'm
mersed in live steam. but with a
temperature of only s5 degrees, the
loaves pass through that process
known as rising. whose failure to
so often Is the brides
first tragedy.
In from IS to so minutes it is
ready for the ovens. OF these there
are eight. with a capacity of 42e

of Washington for White Cross

Let's turn a while to the cake de-
partment
This alluring division Of the big
plant is located on the SECOND floor.
The cake-r1akers and cake bakers
regard themselves as artists and
their product justifies their self
esteem. They fabricate the golden
and chocolate confections with low
ing care, they deck their layers
very precisely with cherries, they
apply the icing with an air. The
baking Is not necessarily more in
volved than is that of bread, but all
Che processes in the cake produc-
ton line proceed with artistry.
The Herald party unanimously
voted that they'd had q great time
and learned something about that
most important industry whose
products form staple of diet, but
which we are prone to regard as
in the sphere Of swomankind.
It's Interesting to mention. in
passing. that there is but one
woman in the whole Dorsch plant.
But the men could teach the ex-
pert housewife things she never
knew about bread and its baking.

that one feels embarrassed to walk
on some of the hardwood floors.

New Power Plant
i'm Operation

Since six-thirty Tuesday afternoon
all electricity of the city has been
supplied by the new steam driven
turbine generator. The light service
Of last night was nOticabIy fine and it
is stated that this brand of electrical
service is to be ours from henceforth.
There may be one more shut off for
the final tuning up of this SUPER
piece Of machinery for its permanent
running, but it is 4 pretty safe bet
now that our light troubles are very
near at an end.
Tho new generator has come up to
all expectations (and great things
were expected of IT'D and the entire
system is operating without a single
hitch being found in the whole pro-
gram.
The greatest work to be done at the
plant now now is the moving OF the
old generator TO its new location in
the new building. The new genera
tor system will take care of all pow
~ demands until the old generator
is placed.

A horse belonging to Liner r. Da-
Wis. "a negro living about ga miles
from Sumter In the DuBose neighbor-

broken as result OF an automobile
running into the horse.
The horse was being driven to q

the left. The driver of the team was
Liner Davis. negro boy of about
90 years. 1t seems that both the
wagon and the Ford automobile,
which was being driven by Mrs.
Matthews. were coming down Liber-
ty street I'm the direction OF town. the
wagon being n littl In the lead Of the
automobile. Mrs. Matthews stated
that she signalled for the turn at the
corner OF Edwards street. but that
the negro boy did not stop. The car
turned the corner sharply striking and
knocking down the horse and there
BY breaking It's leg. officer Chandler
was called to the scene where he was
given the particulars of the accident
and shot tho horse after an cxami-
nation had shown the leg was badly
broken In the hip joint. The wagon
was on the right side of the road and
when the boy saw that the car was
going To- strike his team he tried to
stop and also 10 turn the corner. The
wagon tongue was forced through the
glass OF the closed car. damaging the

NEGRO BOY
SHOT TO DEATH
Two Small Negro Boys Placed in
Lail For Crime at Stateburp

As me result Of a shooting yester-
"al' the details Of which are unknown.
CAaiLe Whitaker, 12-year OLD NEGRO
boy lies dead and two small negro
bo.S Willie Thomas, age 9, and Thorn-
a. SIn3letary, age 10, are now in the
County JAN. One of these two bows
hcId IN the jail is responsible for the
murder but upon which boy the guilt
Is 20 fan is matter yet TO be decid-
&C." Tno1e were no witnesses and
am" Zach of the little negro boys en-
Phau'aIIy states that the other did the
.h""'ing. Young Thomas says that
"'"E'''a'T fired the gun and Singletary
states That Willie Thomas committed
tho net.
Inc shooting occurred yesterday sf-
t"fnoon at about o'clock at State
purg within sight Of the old Episcopal
Church at that place. AS near as IL
is possible to obtain the particulars
of the occurrance it is probable that
Charlie Whitaker, the dead bov had
cotton after the other two little negro
boys with his sling shot and had made
it rather hot for them. The two little
boNS then ran into the house and
Charlie Whitaker followed therr. O.e
of the negro boys picked up the
loaded shot gun which was leaning
in the corner. and fired both barrels
into the face of Charlie Whitaker, who
was standing in the door with his
hand on the door facing. Both loads
took effect in the head of the young
negro, making a fearful wound and
killing him instantly.
Sheriff Hurst w-S called to the
scene anh brought the little and 10
year old negro boys to Sumter and
placed them in jail. From the very
first both Of the boys stuck to the
story that it was the other boy who
did the shooting.

ATTEMPTED
CRIMINAL ASSAULT
White Man Arrested and Held
in Jail on Serious Charge

Sunday night about II o'clock re-
port was made at police headquarters
| by two excited negroes, Ellis Jack
son and Richard Sumter, that a white
man had attacked them on West
Hampton avenue while they were in
the company of two negro women
and at the point Of an automatic pis-
tol driven them away; and that he had
then attempted to assault one Of the
women. Officers Carrigan and Chan
dler Immediately jumped into the po-
lice department Ford and made all
speed to the scene of the crime. which
was just beyond the city limits. When
they arrived they found w. II. Thom-
as, white, engaged in a struggle with
q young negro woman, from whom
he had to:l part of her clothing, and
there was every reason to believe that
his purpose was to commit a criminal
assault. The woman was rescued
from his clutches and Thomas was
taken into custody and placed in Jail
Yesterday warrant was sworn out
charging Thomas with attempted
criminal assault and he is being held
in Jail to await trial at the next term
OF court. The fact that there are
two negro men. one negro woman
and two policemen who will be ma
tcrial witnesses against Thomas,
makes the case look black for him.
1t is stated that Thomas had been
drinking during the day and was
probably under the influence Of liquor
when he attacked the woman. This
may be true beyond the shadow OF
doubt, but it does not excuse his
criminal conduct and should not be
given any consideration as a defense
The crime, as alleged by the Witness
es is one Of the most disgusting and
outrageous that his disgraced this
community in YEARS. Thomas should
be given a speedy trial and if he is
guilty las alleged, he should receive
the limit of the law in the way OF
punishment. The fact that his in
tended victim was a negro has moth
ing to do with the gravity of the
crime, nor is the fact that he was a
drunk white man, any excuse. He
should receive the same treatment. if
proven guilty, that negro would
receive for Il similar attack on q
white woman.

Riding the rails is getting rather
an expensive habit these days and es-
peClallY now that the 90 per cent
raise in passenger rates has gone into
effect. This increase in rates
granted the railroads some time
ago and had bzeen in operation on
all inter stats tickets. The Attorney
General had. however. kept this in
crease out of the State of South Caro-
ina holding that the Interstate Com
merce Commission did not have the
right TO establish this rate within
the state. In spite of all arguments
the increase went into effect this
