The total expended in dollars and
cents to stage the Democratic con-
test, exclusive Of delegates ex-
penses, according to the New York
Convention Committee, was some,
what in excess of 100000.
This committee had arranged its
expenditures on the basis Of con-
vention not exceeding two weeks in
duration. When the deadlock car
ried the sessions over into the third
week, the local committee passed
the further financing Of the show
over to the Democratic National
Committee.
AS this committee had balance
of only about 100000, it imme-
diately begaun to prune expenses
and to put on pressure toNbring
about nomination.
Most Of the ushers were discharg-
ed, the lighting diminished and
corners cut generally in an effort
to save pennies for the later ex-
penses of the campaign. Enougs
was saved out of cash on hand t.
pay for the auditing Of the conven-
ton bills and to move Democratei
headquarters back to Washington.
To provide cash for the campaign
ahead, however, the vistory clubs
win have to be called on for con-
tributions. No So check win be re-
jected!

THIRD OF PEACHES
BEING FED HOGS
1T METHHN FARM
Another Example of Necessary
Wastaee Caused BY Lack of
Handling Facilities
FRUIT ALL BEAUTIFUL
Peaches That Cannot Be Mar
keted Represent Loss That
May Include Entire Profit
BY A STAFF WRITER

D. A. and B. J. Methvin are
shipping Hiley's from their big
peach farm near Americas today
and will continue to ship for sew
eral days-that is, they are ship
ping a part of their crop.
Possibly one-third of the peach
crop from this orchards iebing fed
to hogs or dumped into the creeks.
This is another example Of the
wastage from Sumter peach orch
ards; another instance that crys
aloud for some one with vision and
courage to devise plan for using
the culls and ripe fruit from Sum-
tors orchards.
1 inspected tree after tree this
morning, all ladened to the break
ing point with the most beautiful
fruit nature ever produced; fruit
with flavor seldom equaled, and
a color the most expert painter
could not reproduce on cnavas.
And the choicest is being cast
to swine.
On this one orchard there are g.
600 Hiley trees bearing, with 5000
more trees of the same variety
which soon will be bearing.
In two weeks Mr.. Methvin will
be shipping from liberia orchards,
where $500 now are bearing, with
$500 more to begin bearing next
year. y IS
A way to turn Uncomfortable
peaches into gold should be found.
In many instances this represents
the difference between a loss on
the investment and a profit.
Sumter is destined to be one of
the greatest Of the peach-produc-
ing counties of the nation. The
success of this industry means
much to every one in the county.
The prosperity of one adds to the
prosperity Of all.
California long ago found way
out. There was a period in her
history when her producers shipped
what they could and destroyed the
balance. California's progress and
material welfare was made possible
by saving home culls from her va
rious Industries.
Sumter can and should do like
wise. Our peach men should in
vestigate and profit by the exam
pie of others.

in which the President said:
My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
1T is a satisfaction to know that
you are assembling the manufactur-
ers of box board in Washington to
confer upon a method for eliminating
Sunday work and the long work days
in this important industry.
Il trust that you may be able to
devise a method SO that, In this in
dustry, there may be no work upon
Sunday that is not distinctly of an
emergency nature. I also hope that
you may find a method to abolish the
alternating week of eleven-hour and
thirteen-hour shifts. There are diff
culties involved, of course. but I be
lieve that in the long run 1t will be
found more satisfactory to have the
usual hours which now prevail in in
dustry, and the usual cessation of
work on Sunday.
81 want to thank you for the inter
est that you have taken in this mat
ter, and wish you would extend my
best wishes to the conference for its
every possible success. Very truly
