| HIST | Creech re-elected to second term; city proposes bond issue Posted: Sunday, March 20, 2011 6:00 am | Updated: 3:03 pm, Fri Mar 18, 2011. BY HUBERT OSTEEN - hubert@theitem.com 75 YEARS AGO - 1936 Week of July 22-28 Mayor Fulton B. Creech easily won renomination in the city Democratic primary, tantamount to re-election, in a rematch with his old foe from four years ago, former mayor Lang Jennings. Creech won by more than a 3-to-1 margin in the light turnout primary, capturing all four of the city's wards. The final tally was Creech 822, Jennings 253. P.J. Gallagher ran unopposed for the seat previously held by J.Z. Hearon and received 1,075 votes. Four days earlier, the mayoral candidates were featured in a campaign meeting at the Girls' High School during which they presented their platforms and views. Creech was allowed 30 minutes to speak, followed by Jennings, allotted 45 minutes, with Creech given an additional 15 minutes for rebuttal. According to the story by H.D. Osteen, "The pitifully small crowd (less than 300) was in sharp contrast to the more than 1,500 who jammed the auditorium four years ago to hear the same candidates for mayor speak." Presiding at the stump meeting was Mortimer M. Weinberg, chairman of the Municipal Democratic Party. Creech spoke first, declaring that "Our city has weathered the depression in fine spirit and in fine financial condition. At the present time Sumter is in as fine financial condition as any city in the United States." He went on to cite accomplishments of his administration: a federal loan and grant of $108,000 for expansion of the sewer and water works system; the widening of Manning Avenue and North Main Street without cost to the city; the construction in cooperation with the YMCA of a new $15,000 gymnasium; the addition of several wells at the water works; purchase of the China farm and its conversion into a city park without cost to the city; the establishment of a government cannery valued at $30,000 and now owned by the city; the construction of a new $25,000 armory; obtaining a government grant of $50,400 for remodeling of the city hall and constructing a modern theatre within the Opera House building. In addition to that, said Creech, during the past four years there has been more than $700,000 spent in Sumter on new construction and 230 new homes have been erected. Creech contrasted his record with the poor financial condition Jennings left the city in when he resigned as mayor in 1924. At that time the city owed $293,000, of which $255,000 was in open notes, had a bonded indebtedness of $982,000 and a sinking fund of only $178,000. He contrasted that with the last city audit of June 30, 1935, that showed the city's debt to be $13,000, with assets of $174,000, including $164,000 in cash and bonds, bonded indebtedness of $200,750 and an excess of assets over liabilities amounting to $1,250,000. This record, he said, was achieved in spite of a large population increase in the city. A new contract ensuring lower rates for the city was made last year with Carolina Power and Light Co., which bought the city-owned power plant before Creech became mayor, but he added that the sale appeared to be a good decision as local customers paid 50 percent more for electricity when the plant was city-owned and taxes were 10 mills higher than they are now. "If the plant made so much money, what was done with it?" Creech asked. Jennings followed by declaring that if an audit were made and showed that the city was not in better shape when he left office than it is now, he would pay for the audit. He claimed that during the last year the city operated the plant a net profit of $62,000 was made, plus the city received $300,000 from the sale of the plant to apply to the city's debts, and until last year, CP&L had charged the same rates as the city. In his view, Jennings said, he believed the earnings of the Sumter plant would amount to $100,000 a year if it was still city-owned, and "it was up to the people to say whether they wanted to make this money or wanted an outside concern to take the profit out." He said if elected mayor he promised to give the people a chance to say whether they wanted the plant back. In his rebuttal, Creech described Jennings as "an expert juggler of figures," and the audits Jennings referred to were open for inspection and that "any reasonable person could quickly see how much better the financial condition of the city is at the present time than it was when Jennings went out as mayor." In reference to city-owned power plants, he cited Orangeburg as an example, claiming its tax rate was 40 mills compared with 23 mills for Sumter. Rock Hill also owns its power plant and has a tax levy of 38 mills and 250 kilowatt hours electricity there costs the consumer $13.50 as compared with $3.50 in Sumter. Testimony resumes in Crosswell case - The case of the state, ex rel state Attorney General John M. Daniel against the executors and trustees of the estate of John K. Crosswell and Mrs. S.W.C. Lumpkin of Columbia resumed in the Sumter county courthouse as witnesses were called to the stand to testify before Master H.C. Haynsworth about the value of the estate. The suit was brought by Sumter attorneys Raymon Schwartz and L.D. Jennings, and L.D. Lide of Marion, to force the return to the estate of its half interest in a Coca-Cola® franchise sold to Mrs. Lumpkin, who already held the other half, having inherited it from her first husband, H.D. Crosswell. Representing the executors and trustees were R.D. Epps and George D. Levy of Sumter, while Mrs. Lumpkin is represented by Thomas, Lumpkin and Cain and Herbert and Dial of Columbia, and McLeod and Shore of Sumter. Among those testifying for the estate were S.L. Roddey, Earle Rowland and C.T. Hagan, accountant who audits the Crosswell estate. Hagan testified that the Crosswell estate was appraised at $699,537, approximately the same figure given by Roddey and Rowland in their testimony. He added that the orphanage, for which the bulk of the estate was left, had been constructed in 1935 at a total cost including land and equipment of $49,493.31. Legion Juniors eliminated - The Sumter American Legion Juniors baseball team was eliminated in the second and deciding game for the upper state championship by the Spartanburg Juniors, 16-11, in Spartanburg. Sumter second baseman Charles Player ended his Legion Junior career with an outstanding game, going 4 for 5 at the plate, scoring a run and playing errorless ball in the field. According to the story, Sumter advanced farther in the state playoffs than at any time in recent years. Dollard still nailing lawbreakers - Rural Officer J. Leon Dollard continued his one-man war on crime by arresting five men over the weekend, four for driving under the influence and one on charges of drunkenness. One was fined $10 in magistrate's court on the drunkeness charge and the other four were fined $50 each for driving while intoxicated. Bryan, Bagnal in tennis finals - Louis Bryan and Thurston Bagnal will square off in the finals of the Sumter Daily Item tennis tournament. Bryan and Bagnal made their way to the finals by knocking off the Shelor brothers, Henry and Bob, both former champions. Bryan defeated Henry in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4 and 6-2, while Bagnal won three straight sets 6-4, 6-4, and 6-2 after losing the first one 4-6. The championship match will be played on Wednesday, July 29, on Henry Shelor's backyard court. Advertisements during the week: The opening of the new B&W Grocery at 14 W. Liberty St. was announced, featuring a complete line of staple and fancy groceries and fresh produce. The store will be operated by Francis Wilder and Edwin Bradford. The Twin "E" soda fountain and drug store at the corner of Main Street and Hampton Avenue ran a tie-in ad with the upcoming movie, "These Three," starring Miriam Hopkins, Joel McCrea and Merle Oberon. The drug store urged customers to try its "these three" flavors of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate at its soda fountain, "The most popular place in town." Another well-known cigarette, Old Gold, targeted "Farmers and city folks" in its ad, reminding them that "everybody likes fresh eggs, everybody likes fresh milk ... And everybody who smokes cigarettes likes them factory-fresh ... Tobacco is at its best when fresh, and Old Gold is especially fresh because they are the only cigarettes double-wrapped in the finest moisture-proof cellophane obtainable." Playing at the Rex Theatre: "Florida Special" starring Jack Oakie was the Thursday feature, followed on Friday by "Murder by an Aristocrat," starring Lyle Talbot. The Saturday shoot ‘em up starred Ken Maynard in "Western Courage." Monday and Tuesday's feature was "These Three," starring Miriam Hopkins, Joel McCrea and Merle Oberon. Coming Wednesday: "Devil Doll" starring Lionel Barrymore and Maureen O'Sullivan. 50 YEARS AGO - 1961 Week of May 29-June 4 An ambitious $2 million civic improvement bond issue was unanimously endorsed by Sumter City Council and Mayor Clifton G. Brown. The city officials in a statement urged support from citizens, which would make possible "vital improvements the city has needed for a number of years." Among the improvements would be modernization of the Church Street water plant; replacement of undersized mains in the water distribution system; enlargement of overloaded sewage treatment plants; extension of water and sewer service to areas that may be annexed in the future; a new fire and police department building; and widening of existing streets and installation of additional storm drainage. A steering committee to present the bond issue to the public and to encourage property owners to sign a petition calling for an election was set up with former mayor Fulton B. Creech named as chairman along with former mayors Edwin B. Boyle, W.E. Bynum, M. Priscilla Shaw and S.A. Harvin.

She was a charter member of the Sumter Garden Club and a founder of the Sumter Garden Club Council, serving as a life member. She is survived by her husband, William B. Boyle and Mrs. Stanley G. Brading of Sumter, and Dr. Edwin Boyle Jr. of Charleston; two brothers and three sisters; and nine grandchildren. Propst, Wilkinson seek school board seats - Dr. Charles R.

Tuomey receives permit for expansion - General Construction Co. of Columbia was granted a building permit by City Building Inspector Ed Hobbs for renovation, demolition and construction of a new wing at Tuomey Hospital estimated to cost $562,133. The permit calls for renovation of the old nurses' home, demolition of the old hospital building and construction of a new wing to take its place. Authorities investigate reported incident - City and county law enforcement officers assisted by State Law Enforcement agents are investigating an alleged kidnapping and slashing of a Morris College student over the weekend. He was identified as Herman K. Harris, 21, who told police that four white men men abducted him Saturday night near the college, blindfolded him, threw him into a car, drove to a secluded location and slashed him repeatedly with a knife. The Associated Press quoted the Rev. I. DeQuincey Newman, state field secretary of the NAACP, as saying the letters "KKK," symbol of the Ku Klux Klan, were carved on Harris' legs and chest. Harris was convicted in February for trespassing after being arrested during sit-ins at businesses in the city. Sumter Chief of Police Gene McIntosh, who examined Harris' wounds, said they appeared to be superficial, and he did not detect any "KKK" letters on his chest although he did see a rough "K" on his upper chest, left forearm and both thighs. Harris, who is from Englewood, N.J., is a sophomore at the college. Sewanee honors Stoney - The Rev. William Shannon Stoney, rector of the Church of the Holy Cross, Stateburg, and the Church of the Ascension, Hagood, was recognized by his alma mater, The University of the South, Sewanee, Tenn., which conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity.
