We are glad to see that our esteemed con
temporary the Sumter Advance is agitating
.the question of a park for the city we have
referred to this matter before, and urged it
upon Council. The Advance suggests the
Gutgoard Richardson place. We know of oo
better, and twenty acres in the windings of
this sweet little sequestered vale would amply
asffiee for the purpose. The City Council
should.act at once, buy the property while it
can.be obtained cheap and get in on the
ground floor. If unprepared to meet the
expenses of layitgout the park, and landscape
gardening at present, tbey can nevertheless
procure the title to the property before real

education and possessed of many excellent
traits of character. He leaves a wife and six
children, the eldest of whom is a Studentin

Miss Alberta Gallatln.
It bas been a long time since, if ever, that
Sumter has been treated.to such theatrical
performances as were witnessed in the
Academy of Music Thursday and Friday
eveniugs of last week. Despite the met of
its being Lent tbe name cf Virginia's beaoti
fni and far-famed young tragedienne, Miss
Alberta Gallatin drew the largest house
of tbe season, on Thursday evening, when
she appeared as Rosalind in "As You Like
It," supported by Mr. Creston Clarke as
Orlando. Her conception and presentation
of the character of Rosalind was highly
successful and enlightened many in the audi
ence, who bad hitherto never sufficiently ap
preciated the heroine of this celebrated
comedy. In the character of Gany niede, she
if possible/ surpassed herself, making sun
8hinein the shady places of the "forest of
Ardeuae." It was bard to realise as she
appeared before as, 'full of life, happiness
and joy/* in aU the charming situations of
tbe play, that h was only a day or two be
fore that she bad been visited by LaGrippe.
Mr. Clarke maires the best Orlando we ever
saw and Miss Rachelle Ranard a perfectly
charming Celia. Tbe support tnrougbout was
on us a ally good and tbe acting of the whole
troupe so well sustained and of so high an
order that tbe absence of tbe Orchestra was
scarcely noticed. Tbe Hunch Back was
givec in Matinee tbe next day and largely
attended. In Romeo and Juliet, Friday
night M?s Gallatin, as Juliet, and Mr. Clarke,
as Romeo, well sustained tbe reputation of the
previous evening. Tbe balcony scene was as
faultless as tbe beauty of Juliet,
'Tbe light of love the parity of grace,
Tbe mind, the music breathing from
her face,"
whispering her tender farewells to Romeo in
tbe moonlit garden of tbe Capulets. There
were times during this play when both dis
played extraordinary power, and *s on the
preceding night were frequently died before
the curtain. Mr. Sylvester in Mercutio was
irresistable and perhaps excelled bis Oliver of
the night before. It is safe to say that this
is die best theatrical troope that has yet
visited Sumter. _
Sumter Sighs for a Hotel.
Shrewd capitalists from tbe North can see
their way?in addition to tbe half dozen good
hotels now in Colombia?to making a $200,
000 hotel, located about one-half a mile from
tbe business portion of the city, pay them.
Surely one hotel might pay in Sumter. Co
lumbia is not six times the size of Sumter, bat
it needs that many hotels and bas them. An
establishment of this sort can be as well
sustained in this city or better than any other
town in tbe State. Tbe market is about the
best in tbe country. Eggs, chickens, butter,
beef, milk, mutton, fuel, fish, oysters?everj
tbing cheaper and more accessible than any
other place we know of. It is a railroad
cent re ?od surrounded by a rich and pros
p?rons agricultural section. What's the mat
ter with Sumter ? It need never expect to
have a mill, factory or other plant put here?
not a dollar of foreign capital?unless capi
talists?can see tbe place. How can they
see?no place to stay?they are crowded out
and. Sumter need never expect to _get from
them more than a passing glance. Oily a
few years ago a millionaire from Mew York
bad occasion to visit Sumter to bid in a
valuable piece of property, upon which be
held a mortgage. He was very much averse
to spending any time here, and bis first
question was about tbe accommodations;
said he bad been informed there were no
hotel accommodations at this place. Don't
tbe people know that even the small sum of
$35,000 expended in a hotel will result in
incalculable benefit to Sumter. Don't tbey
want people to come to town to see the ad
vantages ; to become pleasantly impressed ;
to advertise it ; to invest here? Then why
hesitate? Some people may say, but those
who pat their money even into a hotel build
ing to meet tbe most urgent exigencies will
never realize the interest on it. We think
that on this investment * tbey will receive
handsome dividends, provided tbe hotel be
properly managed. But even admitting that
from the specific investment tbey get nothing,
tbe property holders and business men ? ill
derive ten-fold that amount in tbe good dune
tbe town, and tbe consequent increase in the
valu* of their property and business. A
short time ago several enterprising public
spirited citizens subscribed within $6,000 of
tbe required amount. If tbe matter was
properly put before tbe people of the county,
we believe they would subscribe?but surely
Sumter is not on tbe county yet awhile.
Raise tbe money and'have tbe hotel by the
1st. September. Hesitation in this matter
means loss?loss to every business mac and
property bolder?loss to every one individ
ually and collectively?irreparable loss to
Sumter.
Lumber ! Lumber !
Sumter is lumbering on. And lumber is
one of tbe leading industries. The demand here
and elsewhere is very great for it. Mr. J B.
Roach has located a saw mill, just in the
rear of his residence on the C. S. & N. R. R.
Mr Roach has always been a good business
man and bas learned tbe secret of success,
in always pleasing bis patrons with a good
article. Good lumber is always in demand
and those who patronize Mr. Roach will get it.

Practical Points About Street
Paving.
The following letter from a former citizen
of Sumter and addressed to the proprietor of
the W. $ S. will be found of interest to our
citizens at this time :
New BrTghtox, Pa., Feb. 9, 1891.
The W. ? S. arrives here quite regularly,
and it is quite cheering to read of the pro
gress your city is making, tbe more so that
it is steady and solid.
Tbe matter of crossings and street paving
is a very important one, and you cannot
afford to make any mistakes in the material
that yon us**.
Tbe same subject bas been before our
Council here for some time past, and they
sent a committee to several of the towns and
cities, where the streets are paved, to try
and profit by their experience. The result is
tu?t we have now One of our streets paved
with brick, oa edge and tbe crossings
alongside'of the paved street also paved with
brick on"edge.
Our old crossings are all of stone, but the
last season tbey have been making all tbe
new crossings of brick, and generally the
full width of the pavement which, both for
pedestrians and vehicles, is by far tbe most
satisfactory.
-Ononpaved streets tbe crossings are put
dowo in this manner :
Rough Stone curbing about 4 inches thick
by 18 inches deep is sunk to the level of the
roadway on each side, at the ends another
' curbing is put down so as to leave a sufficient
gutter between it and tbe sidewalk curb,
(our sidewalk curbing is of stone 6 inches
thick by 2 feet deep,} tbe crossing is then
filled up sufficiently rouoding and packed
solid and a few inches of sand pot on for a
bed for the brick, which are laid on edge
lengthwise of tbe crossing.
With tbe right kind of brick, you bave
theo a crossing that will last for years and
is easily kept clean, and which you may
drive over at full 'speed. Tbe gutter is
covered by castings, so that it is a continua
tion of the sidewalk, in place of stepping
stones, such as you were lately advocating,
and which, really, are only traps for both
pedestrians and vehicles.
Our street paving here is paid, one-third by
tbe town and one-third each by the property
owners on each side.
We are now paving tbe street where the
street railway runs, and as tbe railway com
pany pave their track and two feet on each
side, the expense to the town and property
owners is not very much. Preparing the
roadbed for the brick is a large part of tbe
expense here, which, with your sandy soil
would cost yon very little comparatively.
Probably it tvoold pay your town to send out,
say two men of good judgment in street
matters, to investigate.' It might save the
City many hundreds of dollars. Tbe brick
which we are using, is made just outside of
this town, by a firm which started last year,
tbey have found a clay which is far superior
to any used by tbe other brick kilos here?
for paving purposes?and they are shipping
a great ma ny as far as Baltimore and Phil
adelphia. Tbey are made from a species of
fire clay, very hard burned, and will, I have
no doubt, stand three or four times the wear
that the hardest red brick would, as they are
not only very bard but also very tough, and
not easily broken.
If your Council should decide to ose any
brick for crossings or street paving I should
like them to see a sample of this brick before
purchasing any other, and if you will write
me I will have the firm send you a sample by
express prepaid.
This is an important subject for any City
about to commence paving?the difference
between a smooth and a dumpy drive?be
tween a good and a poor article?which will
bave to be my excuse for writing at such
length about it.
Io matters political it seems to me that our
opponents?tbe Republicans?are not unlikely
to make a break in tbe direction of Mr J. J.
Dargao'8 "Free Trade," at least Mr. Blame's
reciprocity is taken up with a hurrah ! by a
{rood many of our ultra tariff Republicans
here, but just where the fun comes in?for
them?is more than my poor vision can see,
as without the high tariff?according to the
manufacturers?this wonld be a very poor
section to live in?and without the pensions,
we would miss many?very many?thousands
of dollars in this valley?io fact, if we did
not have the pension money, I am afraid that
the largest part of our prosperity would be
nowhere, and the great pity of it is, that
very many of those old soldiers who really
need it can not get any pension, and many
who need it not, are getting it Big. Patriot
ism 1 thy name is Gould 11 !
I see by the W <$ S. that you have come
down in the world, but you do not seem to
be discouraged by it. I mean down to tbe
ground floor, and down street?I suppose
too that those individuals whose angry
passions you raise, can reach yon with less
danger of their bodily injnry, from being
kicked down stairs, so that it will probably
be a good thing both ways.
We are about as usual here, and have very
fair health, and I trust that this will find
you all enjoying the same blessing.
Remember me to enquiring friend?, and
with kind regards to yourself and family. I
remain, Yonrs respectfully.

Bargains in Furniture.
If you want real bargains in furniture of
any kind, go to J. D. Craig's. Yon will find
that his stock is quite full, both as to style
and quality, and be guarantees that bis
prices ire as low as the same goods can be
bought in the State. *
Shooting in the City.
We call tbe attention of our city fathers to
the nuisance now prevailing in different
portions of tbe city, namely : the small boy
and his gun. Robbin season will soon be
upon oi and this evil will assume immense
proportions unless steps are taken to prevent.
We do not want to get the boys into trouble,
bot tbey should not violate the city ordinance
and inflict such punishment upon nervous
people. Now, boys, keep on the outskirts of
the city and you can shoot as much as you
please, but don't trespass on forbidden
ground. _

Likes the Combination.
A close observer tells us that when a woman
on horseback passes, tbe Frenchman looks
first at tbe woman, the Englishman first at
the horse; tbe American looks at both
together. Our countryman is quick to ap
preciate the complimentary relations of both.
It is this broad perspective that leads the
American to so prepare his medicine, a com
plimentary mixture, one iogredient enhanc
ing tbe medicinal qualities of the other. It
is in this way that nature has an ally in
furnishing tbe curative power of her remedies
for man's ailments. Dr. Westmoreland's
Calisaya Tonic is the embodiment of the
latest and best known of these, compounded
according to a formula most extensively
endorsed. It h*s stood the test of many
years' trial. General debility, lose of ap
petite, enervated faculties and dyspepsia are
entirely cured by its use. Malarial symptoms,
or poison and blood poison are quickly
banished by its use. It is tbe most powerful
of all anti-periodics. For sale by all drug

While it is quite cer

have looked just as pa
triotic in one of our

did in his Continental
uniform when he was
crossing the Delaware,
there is, no doubt that
he would have appear
ed a trifle new fashion
ed for the times. Even
if you could tell what
the popular style
would be a century
hence, you certainly
would not dare to
cross the Delaware to

that will be fashion
able in 2091. Don't
try to be behind the

be too much ahead of I
