Attention. The bad .condition of the walks on the Court House square calls for attention from somebody. They are uneven and full of holes. When it rains 'hese holes fill up with wtier. making it impossible for a person to go from Main Street to the post office wi:hout wetting hie feet. Poor old Fellow. An old bachelor who died at Newton Conn., last week, said on his ' death-bed that there was one thing tha'i would make him content ed.

The Editor of this paper is not a music crit- ; ic and is determined not to be laughed at for any attempt at a critical report of the delight- ; fol concert given at the Academy of Music on ; Wednesday night last, but he can make one statement about it without fear of contradic tion?viz: it w*? a splendid success. Sum ter has never had a more delightful musical treat. Splendid singing, splendid instruraen- : tal music, and a splendid audience to enjoy them. Festival and "Mum Sociable."

C. S. & N. R. R. Notes. The survey from Bennettsville to the Pee Dee River was fiuished yesterday and sound ings are now being made at the River for the construction of the bridge across ttiat stream. Mr. A Ames How lett. President of the Caro lina Central Land and Construction Company, which is building the road, informed us that if rock should be found it would necessitate the building of a rock foundation for the piers j of the bridge, but on the o!ht?r h*nd should j only sand or gravel underlie the bed of the River steel cylinders could he used which j would greatly facilitate the work and accele- J rate the construction of the road bed. Work | on other parts of the line will he begun witn in a very short time. The construction of the Round House, which is necessarily the first work towards the establishment of the work shops here, will be begun in a few days. The new schedule ov. r this line which went into effect on Monday last runs through cars to Charleston without change at Preg nall's, the road selling through tickets and giving through baggage checks. Persons leaving Sumter at 6 55 a. m. will have about six hours in thecty ??f Charleston returning to Sumter the same night. Mr. A. A. Howiett and his son Mr. A. Ames Howiett have been in i:.is city for several days past. Main Street. While in Florence a few days since we were struck with the splendid roadbeds of her streets. One of her streets leading from the Jacobi house to the National Cemetary is being MacAdamized by the United States authonies. The splendid sum of $18.000 has ? een ap propriated by 0?>tigre>8 to lay a street of one and a quarter miles iu length. When com pleted this will be by long odds the best road bed in the State., While Sumter cannot afford anything so expensive as that yet it is easily possible to effect great improvements in our streets at little cost. Our principal thoroughfare, Main S'reet, has never been properly constructed. It is now two flat. In the place of being a water shed it is in some places, a veritable bnsin. Until this is remedi.d we will never have anything better than the p.?ugh, jolty and j uneven roadbed we now have. The roadbed j ought to be elevated in the middle and grad- | uahy sloped to tiie sewers on each side. This j tau be done by scooping out more dirt from ; the side ditches or drains, digging thesedeeper ! and throwing the dirt thus removed into the j middle of the s reet. It is the water that is allowed to accumu late and pudd'e in the road that cause it to be so cut up by wheels. If the roadbed were kept dry by the plan we propose we would j uot h*ve the ugly holes that now turn and toss the unwary driver. It is an unpleasant supprise to a man to be ? jolted, rolled about, hounded up aud down j and shaken almost to pieces on the main j thoroughfare of a city. It is not to be ex pected and, heuce particularly annoying. Another mistake that ought to be remedied ! is allowing the water from the gutters to bej discharged on the sidewalks. We have fre- | queotly seen, on accasions of hard rains, the Sidewalks flooded with streams of water from ! these sewers. The way to remedy this evil I is to compel? owners of property on Main Street to build conducts under the pavements for carrying the water from the mouths of ! the gutter pipes into the sewers.

C, April 20. 1890. Dear IF. and S. : Our town was thrown into great alarm yesterday afternoon about ; 6 o'clock at the startling intelligence brought by a runner that Mr. and Mrs.C. P. Wray w.-re iu the road a mile from here insensible? their horse having thrown them out in a very rooty place, in fact, a "new ground'' with ; many stumps. It proved not to be bo serious ' as that Mr. W 's leg was broken. It is badly Sprained, right leg. Mm. W.'s injuries are upon her head and neck. Dr. Mood was : promptly on the spot. It was a sad sight to ' see Mr3 W. borne through our town to her j beautiful home on a liner by attentive friends ? Mr. Nat hau C Robertson died last night after an illness of 7 months. His wife ( nee Rembert) lies critically ill. ? ? * -~^mmm~ mm Crop Notes and La Grippe. Mkcha.nicsvili.k, S. C, April 19. '90 The condition of the country and people in the region around Mechanir?v?||e lias very materially changed since the 1st of January last; for "better or for worser*' remains to j be s*en The tenant system which has pre vailed for so many years, has been, to a iarge extent, abandoned, and large farms are being , run instead. I do not know whether any change has been made in the Rose Hill plan- ' tation. This has been for a series of rears a combination arrangement? arge farm and at the same time a number of tenant??:here being a sufficient quantity of laud for both: purposes. 1 suppose it has been remuner ative or the shrewd business proprietor would have adopted some other plan. The old Fraser homes'ead is being run by S. R. Fraser : J. E Rembert. Oenera! Manager. ? They will plant between 150 aud 200 acrea of I cotton, and corn in proportion. The Ken- j tiedy plantation is planted by E H. Hulm?n ?150 or more of cotton, and corn propor tionately. The old Remr.ert plantation ia also being run by Capt. E H. Hulm?n ; Wil lie D Franer, General Manager. Some 200 acres of cotton will be planted, and consid erable corn and oatg. Jt is needless to men tion any more Now, on all ihese planta tions, the hands or laborers are working for part wages and part time and land and horse power. Work has been progressing finely and the crops will all be planted before the end of the month. The wives and children of al! these plowmen have been id le since Janu ary and will be until time to Degin chopping cotton?four or five months they have nothing to do ? consumers and non-producers. This seems to be woiktug backward. Lveiything seems to be woiking verj smoothly and the labor question, or rather supply, in the work ing of the crop is the only serious difficulty to be encountered. The main thing is, every thing is alive and full of work, looking for ward to a good crop year and prosperous times. So mote it be. No lime to take any stock in politics about here. The '"Grippe" has prevailed pretty gener ally, and some very serious cases, but none fatal that I have heard of. Mr. \V. M. Dean, at Mechanicsville, and others, and Trial Jus tice Fraser, at the old Rembert residence, have suffered much from its '"grip," but the former is well and the latter, I expect will he all right in a few days. Drs DuBose and Fraser seem to be equal to the situation. 1 can't see that the oat crop has been seri ously injured by cold. It has been hurt in many places by a curions grasshopper looking concern?au insect that swarms by the million wherever they locate. It is something new to our people. Some say it is the Hessian fly, but it can't fly?it jumps and quick too. In the oat fi"ld of Mr. T. D DuBose it cleaned between a quarter and half acre so nicely you would never imagine it had been planted. There are some other strange insects about here, I will write you about as soon as I can see what they are doing as to the crops, i have heard that this ''fly" is about to attack the corn. Can't say yet but I hope not. For this time Satis. ? ? -mm- ?? - YouDg Ladies' Opportunity. SCMTRK, S. C.

Editor Watchman und Southron : I feel as if 1 had been, in a certain sense, gobbled, but in writing this cornmuuica*.ion I have a better object in view than merely to set my wrongs before the people; and while a statement of the transaction must necessa rily show the actors, I would it were other wise. January 29th, I paid, according to the statement of our County Treasurer's clerk, and as far as I knew, all taxes which it was the duty of the County Treasurer to collect, and taking his receipt I returned to Kings tree. About the 1st of April I received a letter from the Sheriff inclosing the following statement : State and County Tax and Penalties and Costs on 1 Lot in Mayesville, $4.51 Special 2 mill school tax on 1 Lot in Mayesville, 3.40 j $7.91 I Examining the tax receipt, I found "1 Lot io Mayesville" valued at $100 bad been omitted by the Treasurer's deputy. I imme diately wrote the Sheriff, that the lot bad been omitted by the Treasurer at the time I paid my taxes and if he did not correct the matter at once, it should have my personal attention. The Sheriff replied : "Capt. Gaillard has instructed ro?* to take off his costs of $1.00 on the special 2 mill tax, but not on the other," aud inclosed the following statement : Regular State and County Tax. Tax, Penalty and Treas , * $2.24 Levy, J .00 Mileage, 1.00 Commission, 27 $4 51 Special 2 mill. Tax and Penalty, 23 Levy, 1 oo Mileage, 1 oO - $2 34 $ 85 j As soon as I could 1 came to Sumter to give 1 the matter ray "personal attention." I saw j the Tiea-urer and he refused to make any ! oth?r deduction than that named by the Sheriff. I went to the Sheriff and be said, ! "I see how it is," and he acknowledged the injustice by deducting hit entire cos s arid I paid the following : Regular Tax. Tux and penalty, $1.24 Treasurer's costs, 1.00 Deputy's costs, 1 ou $3.24 Special Tax. Tax and penalty, 24 Deputy's cost, 1 00 - $1 24 $4 48 Now, Mr Editor, while the transaction car ried with it thai keen, cutting moral wrong of making an innocent party part suffer, I do not say either trie Treasurer or Sheriff really violated the law. But, mark you, the total tax on thr lot was only one dollar and twenty eight cents and to collect that which would have been paid promptly if an oppor tunity hail been given, two executions are issued, two deputies sent out, two levit-s made and mileage charged twice before the owner of the property is notified. Then I receive notice to save th** cos* of advertising. Suppose it hail been some poor man?de linquent because he could not help if, would th?y have taken th<- seven dollars and ninety one cen's from bin; and then sud to him : "(J it's all right, there is no room for reform or improvement here?the working of these office*) is absolutely ffr/'ect." Would the poor man believe it? No! I fell you we ar* grinding the poor in this thing and unless ? e institute such inea^ur^s as will relieve them of th?-se UIs we may exp-->. t to h^ar their cry of discontent all over our State.
