TftoeV* the Httie crossroad town o? Samterville was agitateti some forty or more years ago on the subject of a ? subscription to the proposed Wil mington ami Manchester railroad, little tfiti the people think that that wa% the beginning of a city which in trmfe?was to develop into a prominent' raj^-osd centre, -Sumterville was at that time the ''district town" of Suin ter district? with a population of only a few hundred, and was noted for nothing except its political brawls and contests, and the enthusiasm of its inhabitants?or the great majority of them?for the Union cause. It was not even on the great, highways of the State, and while Manchester, ! 4 Stateburg, Nelson's Ferry and other peiu&iiK the county,were familiar names in the voluminous ''Travelers Directory" of that day,, the name of the district 'town now Here appeared. Wtiert the company was organized to construe: the Wilmington and Man-! ehester- railroad, Sumtervilie -was only thought of asa way station, the aim being to penetrate into the south western part of the district to the most important point, Manchester, then a thriving village, with a fa mous tavern, well known t? ali trav elers in the South Atlantic States. But many ?cftainjes^ have been wrought in the district since that, time. Manchester, the seat of wealth ami prosperi*^, has fallen from .her o?d estate; her railroad ^torn up; the: surrounding plantations deserted, there arc now lelt but a few ohi chimney-stones piled carelessly one n|>qn the other, and an ancient, st?nted cedar here and there to mark its site. Its ohi families have neen scattered ali over the States, and the name is all that remains of the once thriving village. The ]>opnlation of the neigh!x>rhood is composed en tirely of negroes, and there is not a h use within miles where the belated traveler can secure a comfortable * nigjt?fe lodging. But how di?erent with Sumtcrl Once but an unimi>ortant way sta tion^ it has grown into an important railroad centre; its population of a few hnadreds has increase*! to as ina ay thousands, and the little locai trade it carried on forty years ago has extended until it now draws its business from half a dozen adjoining counties. And all of this has been oa account of the .railroads Ca^i tajists, it :?6 true, were slow io see th? advantages Suinter possessed as a railroad point, but with their pyes once opened they have been availing themselves of theopportunity to buiid lijftKe"' }oung city and at the same time increase .their own fortunes. The, Wilmington and Manchester railroad, which was completed in the fifties, first gave Su*ntcr a little boom, which, however, subsided as -the other towns in that section of the State began also to secure railroad connections. With her population increased to some fifteen or eighteen hundred, .after Xhe war when the rail road was deflected to Columbia, Su ni ter again settled down into a sober conntry town, and it was not until after 1880 that it began again to rise commercially. About this time, or perhaps a year or two earlier, re peated efforts were made to build the Georgetown Narrow .Gauge railroad, but without success, The agitation in regard to this line, however, had the-effect in the end of giving Sumter one more ?oad, 1 the Central of South Carolina, which! was .opened .in 1880, and was soon . after absorbed into the Atlantic Coast Line system. TIus road was a potent kctor in starting ?tUe tonn which has made Sumter so prosperous. It ga^e the town a direct line to Charles ton, its legitimate seaport, and opened a fine country lor genera! traile, which before could only be reached by long wagon drives over miserable country roads. Prom that, time the history of Suinter has been the history of railroading in Central South ?Carolina. ^Numbers of rail oads to this place have been pro jected, several constructed, and, be sides the four now in active opera deli there are three in course of con si ruction, and -an eighth locateti, whieh in a year or two must come to Sumter. THE ATLANTIC COAST LINE. The company which has since been converted info that powerful system, the Atlantic Coast Line, was the first to avail itself of the advantages Sum ter possessed as a railroading point. As before stated, it built the Wilming ton and Manchester railroad in the fifties. Just after the war between the States, the ^?tioii of the road from Sumter to Manchester was de stroyed and the line continued from Sumter to Columbia, ami the name changed to the Wilmington, Colum bia and Augusta railroad. A bont ten years ago th:s system purchased fie Central railroad, which runs from Lane's on the Northeastern rail road, to Sumter, and in 1889 recon structed a portion of the originai line of the Wilmington and Manchester railroad, which is now in active op eration under the name of the Man chester and Augusta rai?roa.;. MANCHESTER AND AUGUSTA RAILROAD. This line is compieteti from Sumter to Remini, jsl point in Clarendon county on the Watercc river, a dis tance of twenty miles, passes several miles below the ancient term i mis at Manchester, and has not only great ly increased the vaines o? the land through which it runs, but has been ? a source of immense benefit to Sum ter. It has opened up a magnificent timber and agricultural country ! whkh was hitherto almost undiscov- \ ered, and which semis thousands ofj deKars annually to the coffers of the business houses of this city. The ul timate eu?i the Atlantic (>...> Linei has in view in building this road is to secure a direct connection by the nearest route belweoh tlic North nd Augusta, A permanent survey of the line from llemini, straight across the State to Angusta, is now being made and the work of construction will be gin in a few months. The comple ' tionof tins line will give Su m ter im mense advantages in the way of con nections with the further South and ? tic West. The city will become a most important point on the route to Fionda, and, as its winter climate is unsurpassed anywhere, it will in time be as favorite a health resort as Aiken or Thomasville. This road now gives the people along the route the-advantages of a daily passenger and freight service with double trains on Saturdays and Mondays. THE W., C. AND A. II. R. The Wilmington. Columbia and Augusta Railroad runs from Wilming ton to Columbia, and gives Samter a direct line to Wilmington and the North. The run from Sumter to New York is now only twenty-four hours, and in six months, when the Wilson ami Florence Road, of the same sys it?in. is completed,, the run will be still shorter. Only forty miles of this line is to be constructed before it will be actively operated. By the Wil mington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad freight comes from New York, Philadelphia and other North ern marts in quick time, and is de livered from thejDars in Su niter three days alter being shipped. The trains from Sumtor also - make direct con nection at Columbia with the .Rich-1 mand and Danville system, so that passengers can go directly to New York by that route it it is ?>re?i*rr?d. At Richmond, Va, a valuable im mediate connection with Cincinnati and the West can be made. In ad dition to the through trains on the main line, a passenger train makes a daily run to Wadesboro. N. C, and return via the Cheraw and Barling ton Railroad. This takes in all points in upper South Carolina and in North Carolina. THE CENTRAL RAILROAD OF SOUTH CAROLINA develops timber interests chiefly. It passes through the finest timber lands in the State, and all along the route saw mills of immense capacity arc operated, from which the lumber mills .of the city draw their supply of rough material. In all there are fourteen mills on this road, many of themoperating private railway lines o?" t beir own. which, so far as the freight facilities are concerned, are as well equipped as the regularly in corporated railroads. The most im portant of these private lines is the Wilson and JSnmmerton .Railroad, which runs from Wilson's through the heart of Clarendon County, through a rich agricultural section, and semis to Sumter annually by way of the Central Road immense quantities o? cotton ami millions of {l et of the best yellow pine linn her. These two roads have a double daily rassenger andJ Ireight service, and allow the planters from that entire part of the State to spend a day here, where nearly all of them do their business, and return ! hume in the evening. THE COAST LINE DEPOTS. The Atlantic Coast Line's plant is | one of the finest to be found any-j where on its many roads. The pas senger station is a beautiful building ?a real ornament to tiie city. Itisi a two-story structure, built on a plan identical with that of the Pennsylva nia railroad station at Coney Isla ml, N. Y. The material used is Richmond pressed brick. The roof is slate, with stone brackets and cornices. The .first ??oor is divided into throe apart ments, one waiting room for whites, one for negroes, and a ticket oft:ce. The furniture is of elegant design finished in nickel, and the windows are of French plate glass. The up per story contains several roo me for the use of the night operators, ticket agents, etc. In addition to the old warehouse, which has a very large capacity, ami three large fertilizer warehouses, a new brick building is just about com pleted, which is probably the hand somest freight depot in South Caro lina. It is 220 feet long* by 40 wide, with a broad platform o? concrete, with brick and -stone caps, being ab solutely itre proof. The local offices will be located in the east end of this structure. Mr. C. N. Brand is the agent of the Coast Line, and Mr. R. A. Brand is general soliciting agent, with head quarters in this city. CHARLESTON, SUMTJBR ANI) NORTHERN. Although the Coast Line system has done much to help Sutnlcr. the Charleston, .Sumter and Northern railroad deserves no less credit for the prosperity of the city. In fact, it is the chiet cause just now of the boom. This road, which is per haps better known to many by its tonner name, the EntawfiHe rail road, is in operation from Prcgnairs, on the South -Carolina railway, .to Sumter. a distance of liiYy-nine unies, j It has been completed within the last twelve months, and has given a line to Charles*on, in competition with the Coast Line. The gener:i! offices arc located here, the following ofii cials being in charge; John J. Silver, president; Jolin Harlin, vice-presi dent:; jsaac W. Fowler general man ager: A. Amos liowlcU, treasurer: Owen Chace, secretary and assistant treasurer; M. Woo*!, roadmaster; John M. Smith, master mechanic; C. L. Martin, a m?t or; W. W. Thomp-j son, train dispatcher and car ne-j counta ut: W. R. Delga r. general so licit ing agent. At the foot of Republican street, j in the eastern part ol the city, this; road has a handsome station and of fice building, which is equipped with ! every modern convenience. In addi tion to this several spacious ware-1 houses have been erected, and the planster .a round house and the ma chine shops have been made and ac cepted, and ?he work of To:i. truction will begin shortly. ehe section through which this road passes is fa mous for its timber, cotton and naval j stores supplies, all of whi< !i it brings ? into Sumter before shipping them to ; their (inal destinations, it gi-ves a ! double daily freight and passenger service, and makes through connec tions in quick time to all p<jirzts ! North and West. Its also connects ] wits) the Augusta, H.\ , trains at PregnalTs, so that a person leaving Sumter^tJj p. m. will be in Augusta to supper, and there close connec tions arc made with the trains going ; West. This road has succeeded in building j up the eastern part of this city won-: dei fully, ami where a year ago was to be seen a stretch o? haltd rained vacant lots, now rows o?' handsome resiliences and substantial stores greet the eye. The entire vicinity has been drained and filled in to a depth of five feet in many places with clay and sand, rendering it high and dry, and one of the most desira ble residence portions of the city. The company is now engaged in constructing its northern extension to Bennetts ville, S. C, via Darling ton. Large forces of hands arc working at both ends of the line, and six miles of track is already laid from Benncttsville "south. The grading has been co: plot ed along the entire route, and the work on the trestles and on the steel bridge across the Pee-Dce Kiver is being pushed with expedition. The line will be complet ed in less than a year, and will give Samter another line to the North shorter than any now in operation, by connections which will i>e made through North Carolina and Virginia. All the equipment lor this extension has been ordered and no delay will be permitted in completing every thing. THE CAROLINA SOUTHERN. The Carolina Southern railroad has not yet reached Sumter, and there fore little will be said of the benefit which will be derived from iL All the lines, etc., have been located,, and work has been commenced on; the road at Cheraw, which will be its northern terminus. This road will pass through Sumter on the western side of the city, and will continue in an almost air line to Savannah, Ga., and thence to Jacksonville, Fla. The object of its construction is to secure as direct a line as possible from New York to Jacksonville, with a view to attracting winter travel. At Cheraw the road connects with the Robinson system, and south of that point it will construct all o? its lines. The purpose is to make Sumter one of the main stations between New York and Florida. THE THREE C*S. The Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago railroad has been coquetting with Suinter for several years, but it is now generally understood that it will be built to this city in the next year from Qamden. S. C. The bene fits which will accrue from the con-, struction of* this line, giving, as it will, direct connection with the great coal and iron fields o? the Vv'est, can be seen at a glance. THE LINE TO CAMDEN. In case the Three C*s does not complete this line, however, there is no doubt of its construction within a year. The distance is only thirty miles and the Atlantic Coast Line now holds a charter for a road along that route, which it will build in a short time. This will not only give a line to the West, but will givo Sumter many advantages to be de rived from (jirect communication with tlie fine mineral and farm lands in upper.8outh Carolina. ^ ?
