be made to swallow them red hot in the next

fol concert given at the Academy of Music on ;
Wednesday night last, but he can make one
statement about it without fear of contradic

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.

Accident in Fairfield?Death of
Mr. Nathan Robertson.
Ridgkway, S. 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. ? ? *

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.

Plain Statement Deserving Seri- ?
ous Consideration.
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.
