Gold Medals Awarded by CharlestonExposition.

The Telephone Mfg. Co. of Sumter,S. C., (old company) receives one

gold medal for "Telephone Instru¬ments," which of course includesevery part of the telephone, such astransmitters, receivers, generators,hook switches, lightning arrester,wood work, finish etc, . one goldmedal for Switchboard and Appli¬ances, and one medal for ProtectiveDevices.The Sumter Telephone Mfg. Co., re¬

ceives one gold medal for Transmittersand Receivers, and one for Switch¬board and Appliances.These awards speak exceedingly well

for these two competing companies,and Sumter should indeed feel proudof two such progressive and moneymaking enterprises.

The Laundry Closed.

Owing to the inability to disposeof the waste water from the SteamLaundry, Mr. O'Brien, the proprietor,reluctantly decided to close thelaundry from and after last Saturday.The waste water has been discharg¬

ed into a large dry well, but the groundhaving become water soaked, there hasbeen recently a constant overflow fromthe well. There being no seweragesystem for carrying off the water andas the rules of the health departmentforbid emptying any kind of wastewater into the open drains and ditches. Mr. O'Brien had no other alterna¬tive than to close the laundry and dis¬continue business.The many satisfied patrons of the

laundry will regret the closing, andwill hope that Mr. O'Brien will decideto remove the laundry to outskirts ofthe city where there is natural drainage and will resume business in a

short time. The removal of the laun¬dry from the city would be a distinctloss, and even if another laundryshould be established in the nearfuture it will be difficult to find a manto manage it so satisfactorily as hasMr. O'Brien.
