WORK
BEING HELD UP
Banding Discusses Matter
With Officials
(The State).

D. NJ. Banding, clerk Of the
Sumter county road commission,
was here yesterday conferring with
state highway department officials
and Richland road authorities in
an effort to perfect plans for get
ing the $4,000 promised by the
Columbia chamber of commerce to-
ward the Wateree river bridge ap-
proaehes in Sumter county.
The contract for the building of
the approaches and swamp road is
being held up pending some def
mite assurance, that the $4,000
will be furnished. Simons & May
rant recently submitted the low bid
for the work, approximately s34,-
600, but this bid may be with
drawn after August Is and much
time lost unless the contract is
signed before that date. Unless
action is had within a short time
the Wateree river bridge may be
a fine bridge spanning the water
with no chance to cross it because
of no approaches.
Mr.. Banding conferred with
Charles H. Mooreheld, state nigh
way engineer; L. H. Thomas, sec
retary of the highway commission;
Senator Tom 3. Pearce and others,
and it is possible that some plan
may be developed whereby the
money can be raised. One plan
discussed was to let Richland coun-
" guarantee the money and ac-
cept the pledge Of the chamber OF
commerce.

WARNING
ISSUED TO
POSTAL CLERKS
Assistant Postmaster General
Tells Them Not to Be De.
ceiyed by Propaganda

Washington, Aug. Postal en-
ployees have been cautioned by AS
sistant Postmaster General Bartlett
not to be misled by propaganda
or misinformation," designed, it
was said, to create unrest among
the nearly half a million workers
of the service.
The caution, contained in a state
ment made public tonight, was
occasioned, it was said. by a dec
laration of the National Federation
of Postoffice Clerk-that the pos
tai service was not properly OBJ
serving the eight hour law as it
was cheaper financially to work
regular clerks overtime than to en-
p1oy substitutes"
The statement addressed. to "All
postal clerks" said the department
welcomed the corporations Of pos
tai organizations and invited con-
criticisms and suggestions,
but that nothing could be more
harmful to the postal system than
"a series of misunderstanding
founded on misinformation."
The federation charged the de-
partment, Mr.. Bartlett. said in his
statement to. the clerks, with a
violation of the postal laws, and in
addition to this general charge. It
goes on to state that we are vie-
lating the law for the purpose OF
saving money
eff it were true that those at the
head Of great governmental de-
partment were violating the laws
of the land deliberately for any
purpose, it would be ground for re-
moval," he added. "It is about the
worst charge that could be made
against high officials. We wonder
if you, our postal clerks, really
mean to make this charge. or to
indorse the statements of those
who make it.
1--WE do not save money work
ing our clerks overtime. and we do
not do it to save money, but il
emergencies when we are obliged
to resort to such a practice, the de
partment has full and complete au-
thority in the law.'

The officers and directors Of the
Sumter County Fair Association
who have made bid of $4,000 for
the removal of the State Fair from
Columbia to Sumter, have started
something that they should follow
up with energy and persistence
The whole town and county of
Sumter should get in behind the
movement and get the State Fair
if to do so the bid must be raisei
to 100000. The State Fair has
been for thirty or forty years one
of the very biggest assets that Co
lumbia has had, the business men
of that city. as whole have done
little or nothing to make the fair
worth while. They have seemed
to regard it in the, same light
as the legislature, the hospital for
the insane and the penitentiary-
state institutions-that had to re-
main in Columbia, regardless OF
the support and cooperation Of the
community, extended or withheld.
Sumter could use the State Fair
very nicely and it could be made
a profitable asset to the business
community. The State Fair does
not belong to Columbia and if Sum-
ter can bring about its removal to
this city by doing the things to
make it a worthwhile institution
that Columbia has failed to do in
the long time it has dragged out
an existence in the capital city,
then lets go after it and get 1t.

REMBERT
INVITATION
APPRECIATED
Sumter Retail Merchants Ex-
press Thanks For Invitation

Editor Daily Item:
On behalf of the Sumter re-
tail merchants, I want to thank
our Rembert friends for their in
vitation to the Sumter people for
that booster outing on the 9th of
this month.
1t is very evident of the spirit
Of progress and mutual intercourse
that has characterised Sumter
county for so many years, which
even the world war and the boil
weevil could not eradicate, and I
hope that every one in Sumter
county will be there, to shake
hands and exchange greetings with
his fellow Sumterites. The pro-
gressive citizens Of Rembert have
shown us the way, let us respond
in the same spirit of cooperation
and neighborliness SO aptly ex-
pressed by the gentlemen in
charge whose names appeared I'M
der the invitation in The Item. I
am confident the Sumter retail
merchants will be there in full
force and show the people Of
Rembert that we appreciate their
kindness and friendship.
What is good for Rembert is
also good for Sumter, and what
is good for Sumter is also good
for Rembert and any other part of
Sumter county because we are all
in Sumter county and are am
bilious to make Sumter county the
county of counties, not only in
South Carolina but in the whole
world, and the only way we can
do it is for all of us to put our
shulders behind that Illuminating
wheel called Sumter.
In connection with this l want
to express to Mr.. Reardon the ap-
precation he so deserves for
boosting Sumter in all kinds of
weather under any conditions and
at all times.
Cordially,
S L. KraSnOf

Coal Situation in
South Carolina
State Railroad Commission
Making Every Possible Eff
fort to Distribute Coal ta
Best Advantage

Columbia, Aug. THE Sousa
Carolina Railroad Commission has
been forced to take charge OF the
coal supply coming into the state
and already many cars have been
diverted from their original desn-
nations and allocated to other con-
sumers. The commission is max
ing every possible effort, according
to its chairman, Frank Shealy to
handle the situation to the best pos
sible advantage to all people OF the
state. but with less than enough
coal to last two weeks, Mr.. Shealy
regards the situation as rather se-
rious. u
The railroad commission has
made Spartanburg its point OF de-
vision Of fuel. AS a large part pts
the coal used in the state conaes
in through Spartanburg. over the
Southern and the c. c. & o., the
commission has provided that thess
roads make reports to it twice

received. These two roads make
telegraphic reports every morn

afternoon around 4 o'clock assto

Yesterday afternoon, these two

Delightful Musical
Entertainment
The Woman's Music Club
Gives a Charming Program

Mrs. j. u. Hearon, the president
of the Woman's Afternoon Music
Club, and the other officers and
members of the club, have every
reason to be greatly gratified by
the success of the delightful pro-
gram Of music that was given
Thursday evening in the auditorium
Of the Girls High school building.
The program was well balanced,
was long enough to satisfy without
surfeiting, and. every feature of the
program was an added pleasure.
1t is remarkable how quickly the
orchestra has developed its power
to produce harmonious concord of
sweet sounds. However great the
skill of the director may be, such
charming ensemble effect can be
achieved in so short a time only by
trained musicians. The work of the
orchestra last evening reflects great
credit upon the skill of the direc-
tor and upon the musical ability
of the members.
The instrumental solos, piano,
violin, and xylophene, were all
a source of delight to the appre-
ciative auditors, as were the vocal
chorus and quartet The ladies' ex-
cellent voices blended in delightful
harmony.
While the whole program was
replete with charm, showing the
unusual musical talent that Sum-.
ter has and promising to our peo-
pie a series Of entertainments
throughout the fall and winter.
still the piece de resistance of the
evenings entertainment was the
singing of Miss Ellen Blanding Of
Paris, Kentucky.
Miss Blanding has lyric soprano
voice of unusual sweetness and
fiexibility, cultivated to that high
degree of perfection, wherein the
art essential to the production Of
the desired effect is no longer man
ifest and yet managed even in the
most difficult passages with an ease
that is altogether pleasing.
Sumter has a right to claim a
share in Miss Blanding's success;
for her parents belonged so Sumter
and the names of Anderson and
Blanding have long been household
words in the county's vocabulary.
1t is certain that the audience
that was present Thursday even
ing will SO advertise the concert
that was given as to insure large
audiences at any entertainment
that may be given hereafter under
the auspices of the Weman's After
noon Music Club.
