STRICKEN BY STREETS.^ & fe? days ago the city of Green ville, Ktas., was visited with the largest con fiagration it has known for years. Five Morea and their eootenta were entirely destroyed in about two boars. The 'total loss will approximate $100,000. The streets were io such a bad condi? tion that it took the ?re department ' almost ose whole hour to rosen the scene of the conflagration. Men and , horses wading almost knee deep in mod y tagged at the fire engine during j forty io*g minuted to get in two blocks. "Wost sort of an argument is this in favor of paving street. If Sumter does . tot improve the condition of its streets, it will have, to do as oar friend the Af'ince suggests, bny BradwslPs big gray herses and several more like them, \fbr the uses of the fire department and the protection of property in the premises ??HE STATS. The people of Sumter looked for? ward with m any pleasant anticipations to the advent of this new newspaper, la the sneeeas of which they all have vary deep interest. The Stat? was advertised to be published on the 17th, bat owing to a great ace nm dation of Bews and other matter at the eleventh hoar, and to some, imperfection in the adjustment of the elaborate machinery.; connected"with the new presa, hs pub ' ii cati on was somewhat delayed. Like all good things, "discovered late," to those seeking, it came at last sod its bright, newsy colaras were none the less enjoyed* especially the starred paragraphs of the first editorial column. .May they always be as bright and starry in the firmament of the State as those shining in these first issues. The State is a handsome eight page newspaper of six columns to the page and has a foll and complete newsservice. The printing is excellent, the company ? having purchased a brand new Cottrell press. With an able and experienced editor at the bead, an energetic and well equipped ?bice backed bj capital and encouraged by the sympathy of ai large number of people with:, and; without the State, the paper 'Wesew^e to succeed and witt. oOEE AECK SUGGESTIONS. One of the most popular ideas that has been so far presented io connection with Columbia's Centennial celebration ?a May, has been that the Committee in charge erect arches representing each County in the State and- that those Counties represented see to it that their respective arches are appropriately decorated. If oar m "ry serres as correctly we believe tL?re are about four blocks on west Gervais Street between Union Depot and Main, and about twelve be? tween Agrioukural Hall and Elmwood ' Avenue ; three between the intersection of Main and Elmwood and the Fair Grounds. We suggest that ? o able arches representing two counties be be erected at each intersection of tlie ' streets along this line. In this way the entire thirty six counties can be easily accommodated. We suggest further that the Game COC? arch shall span Maia Street at - its intersection with Gervais on the*crest of the hill imme? diately in front of the capitol, and that - Richland's Arch (provided it be appro? priately decorated) shall unite with that of the Game Cock Couoty-Sumter and Columbia, being the nearest together of the cities of Carolina, and are making faces at each other in point of progress. DISSATISFIED INDIANS. The Indians composing the delegation from the Sioux Nation who came to Washington to see the Great Father and the Great Council, have gone back, to say the least, dissatisfied. Th* y have the consolation, however, of knowing that they made a strong presen ta ti oe of their ease, and one that will impress the ; American people with its truth and eloquence. Tbe trouble, they say spring from the seed. The seed was sown long ago by the white man not attending truthfully to his treaties. When the white mac ? Fpsaks the government and the army see that we obey. Wben the red man speaks, it goes in st one ear and out of the other. The Indian is for eternity interested in the subject. The white man only when be comes into office for two or three years. They ask the following pertinent questions : "Why was not the late treaty fixed promptly by the great cou neil 1 Why were our rations cut down a million ol pounds? Why have not onr winter annuities come ? Wby was the whole Sioux nation called to account for danc? ing a religious dance? Why are the agents always* bein? changed? Why wa* agent Gallagher discharged when he wrote that our crops had failed and our rations must net be cut down 1 Why was the army calied in by Agent Royer? And if he was right why was he discharged ? And why does not the blame for what followed belong to thc white men ?

Pope, at Florence, last Wednesday. ? --?? Ho ! for the World's Fair? Mr. Editor : Some pf ns are always tak? ing time by the fetlock and'not by the fore? lock. In correction of ?his principle, desire tea lay.before our townsmen a scheme which I am vain enough to think is worth considering. About two' years hence, all the ta Ik in this part of tbe^conniry,' as elsewhere, will be about the great World's fair at Chicago, and the stereotype question will be Are you gojag ? The stereotype answer will be.' No Money I Wise men build for the future, and T desire to present a scheme for ?be consideration of the yonng working men nod women of the community, by which when the time arrives," we may all go to Chicago. The scheme is a very simple one, without any vexing details. It simply con? sists in.beginning now to lay aside tbe money necessary for the actual expenses of the trip. I have no idea that a ten days7 trip to the Fair need cost more than $50 ; but there are a goodly number who could not now, nor two years hence, make a draft that would be honored for $50 Even, some who could do so would regard it as a heavy expenditure of funds. To all such, and to any who are willing to unite tn the scheme, I propose that we now organise a World's Fair Club. Those who enter into the compact obligate them? selves to. pay thirty cents -per week from now until May 1st, 1893. In case of failure to pay promptly each l week, they shall forfeit five cents for each failure. This forfeit fund Will be added to the general fund, and be divided among all the members of the' Club on May 1st, ?893. A box will be open tn. the Bank, of Sumter into which the deposits can be dropped at any time, during the week, and on each Saturday night, this box will be opened,'and the amount placed in the Bank, with tfee understanding thai it is to be paid to the order of noone until May, 1st,'93. The 4 per cent, from . the Bank and. tbe prorated fices will give, when added to the principle two years hence, about $30 to each member of tbeCiob. With & working cap? ital ol $30, it will not be hard for os to scratch aboat and find $10 or more to add to this, aod. then our trip to Chicago is secured. The Club may consist of five" or fifty. One member can contribute a double fee, and so provide a passage for bis wife. We may a] 1 go together, or singly. On May 1st, 1893, the mooey will be the property of the one who laid it aside. By arranging for a large party to go together,- we cou I ? get better hotel raies, and reduce expenses somewhat. Those who ?ee< able to Jay aside a larger som thaa 30 cents weekly can do so. Failure to pay the assessment ' will subject them to a fine as much ?renter than 5 c nts as their promised anna cs greater than 30 cents. i ?a?? made several mistakes in my brief and transitory life, but it does seem to me. that this is a feasible scheme. A visit to Cfeicagv. is almost equal toa ?--m atan ordi? nary schcol: a visit io the Fair will surely entitle one to a diploma. The young men and young women who are working daily for others ata meagre salary should, once in a life at least, be able to go eut to see a part of the world- In what way can it be done more easily than in the way I have designa? ted? Unless the Bank takes wings, the money deposited"will be beyond th? reach of any one who might take a notion to draw it ont, as it is to be deposited with the under? standing that no draft on it is to be honored until tbe time named above.- In case of providential hindrance, where a long spell of sickness or distress of some kind should make it necessary, the money of a member ot the Club.migbt be, returned to him ; but other? wise be wouldTotfe?f whathe had contributed r ! if be-?ai?ed to keep"' np "hts 'deposits according to promise, in this way? we- should, hedge ourselves about, and compel ourselves to be faithful eveu when our purposes in this line' of adventure and travel bad become a itt tie lax. ' This plan ts open to women as well as to men. I hope to be able to reduce these crude ideas to some form by next week, and I wilt then announce te your readers the scheme in its-entirety. Meanwhile let nj ponder the maiter, and determine upon the amount we shall undertake to lay by in store. C. C. BROW?. Sumter's South-East Suburb. "God made the country and man made the town," said the poet; bat asks Elizabeth Bellamy, "who invents the suburb, that region of idyllic'promise to which distance lends i enchantment j that mirage of the urban desert, so alluring to those endowed with the I rural temperament, and ?ffheted with the j purse inadequate? We answer, "The Sumter Land and improvement Company." They are doing a splendid work .for the city, for those who have not money sufficient to buy enough elbow room in town, and also for themselves. Choice suburban spots at other extreme points of the town have io the main been built up to a considerable distance out. We were surprised to see in driving out last week by the C. S. k N. B. R. depot, over this -property, what wonderful changes have been wrought in its condition by the Land Com? pany. Streets have been graded, sidewalks laid out, obstructions removed, and the pince is rapidly putting on the appearance of a sub? urban town. ' It extends from Maj W. F. B. Rvrnswortb's and the Sumter Canal on the north, crossing Calhoun and Liberty Streets, to the Radical Road, which forms itp eastern boundaty, to the southern extremity of the property. It is bounded on the sooth by the tram road. The canal runs through the middle and is an important factor in the drainage. This tract of land, in area about 400 acres, is divided into block* ot uniform Biz?, 600 feet in length, hy 316 feet wide. Atter allowing fora 16 foot alley way through the rentre of these obx ks, or squares, they are subdivided into Io's 50 ft et wide by 150 feet to depth. These tots front on nicety graded streets, 60 feet in width. The streets. wbicb run north and suuth are designated by numbers, 1. 2 3 kc , and those running east and west, alphabeti? cally, and are styled avenues On the south side of the W. C k A. R. R about six blocks have been laid out and streets graded opposite the 0. S. AN RR. drpot and east of Carr's Mill. The Main Streets have parks laid out in various places, and co pains have been spared in properly laying off and grading the property ac<-otdinrr to 'he best ptinciples of landscape ?oifineering. lli-u-es have been removed wherever they obstructed tbeonifoim arrangement of the ?tr?et-. The best street grading machine has been purchased hy the company and is used in grading ail the property. There isa thoronghf ne or boule? vard running from where the W. C. k A R. R crosses Liberty street, to the fouth-eas'ern extremity of the property. Thi< U called ?he Sumter Boulevard ard is ne iring compution. A full corps of axemen and other wotkmen are em plo ve? upon it and are removing stumps, tock? and other obtrudions by the use of dynamite. Sites have been reserved for large manufacturing enterprises on both sides of the R R. fronts Th?re is ont? feature about this property with which we were practically impressed. Ii is much high? er and better drained in many places than we expected to find it and considerably higher than some valuaV-le property in the city. When the thorough system of sewerage now being devised, is pit in operation, this pro? perly will be as desirable as'-nv within the same distauce from tbe Court House. A freight train on the Chester and Lenoii j Railroad, fell through a trestle last wet k and j several persons were killed. -I ? ? mWtm ' The celebrated Eclipse Cotton Planters f? r : sale at store of Durant k Son.

C., Feb. 21-A few days ago Capt. R Al- Brand, the freight soliciting agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, wa9 present? ed with a' team of two mules and a covered wagon whi?'n "was stored to its utmost capacity with furniture, heddiog and farm yard paraphernalia, including a lot, of chickens, evidently the worjdly goods of some person Vbo was oh the inoVe and "had packed away everything for the purpose of settling down in some new .quarter. He hasn't the least- idea to whom ' the property. originally belonged, but says that a mar., drove up to the depot with the turnout a day or two ago, just before the arrival of the passenger train, and came up. lo bim and said that & lady living ia Orangeburg had sent him on here through the country with the wagon and mules, and that she was on her way by rail ; that she bad instructed him to turn Over everything into the hands of the depot agent, and that she would call for them on ber arrival. He iaid that be expected her on the train about to arrive ; so Capt. Brand told bim to wait and turn them over to her him? self, but he said he bad to leave on that very train. Capt. Brand was called off to attend to other business at that time, but after the train had left be found the. wagon and mules standing alone where the man b.?d left them, ?Dd nothing waa to be seen of the lady whose arrival was expected. As no one was on hand to claim the property, he had them tarried to his house aed the mules stabled and fed - The Stale. Since the above was printed the mysterious owner, v.bo terns out to be a Mrs. Fore, of Orangeburg, came up ou the train from Oraogeburg, Saturday last and relieved Captain Brand of the property, and continued her journey through the country to Columbia, her destination. Points from Providence. PBOVIDBSOB, S. C. Feb. 23, 1891. . ifr. Editor : Tbe-cooiinnal wet weather ha3 thrown the farmers of this neighborhood considerably, behind with ptowing. But they are pushing ahead now, and if the weather is favorable through March, they will be ready to plant in due time. The extraordinary good crop made last year has put the farmers in better circumstances than they have.bren for a number of.ye*rs, and if the seasons are good this ' year, {.asTilhnan is Governor ) I don't see why they shouldn't do still better.. The tai ujers.of Providence seem to be. working with more energy than ever We can boast, of fomeof the most energetic farmers of the county, while we hare some here as trifling as can be found in the State. Oats are looking flue, but there seems to be very few planted. Mr. R. C. Rembert has been quite ill but we are glad to say he is up again. One of Mr. M. Dority's little children slipped down on the wet piazza floor last wei-k, and broke one of Ks legs. The eittaens of Providence bare organized a Military Company. It ia called, The Provi? dence Rifle Company. 'Tney held a meeting last Saturday and elected the following offi? cers : Captain, G. U Williamson ; First Lieut., Mr. John Rhame ; Second Lieut.. Mr. J.

'Mr.JSdilor ; I guess "dull times" are now about as common a complaint as "bard times" ; such is the case here, anyhow, so I can give you but fev. terns. The weather here has been very disagreeable off and on for about a month. The last few days have been very warm. Fruit trees are budding. We hope they will not be killed by the cold, for it is now time we had a good fruit year. -Farmers seem to foresee a good crop year, for they are dealing pretty extensively in fertilizers. They are also preparing a larger acreage of land than ever before. Dr. C. S. Britton is having* his 'house re? painted bj Mr.~T. B. Mangum. Mrs. S. E. Wilson is having her house remodeled and repainted, and is now nearly completed. A very attractive feature of Smithville is its High School which will compete with any in the State. It has made wonderful pro? gress in its growth since its organization about two years ago. Its progress is largely due to the management of its principal, Mr. W. A. Massebeau. The citizens of Smithville can tboronghly appreciate the benefits de? rived from this school. Prof. J. P. Gibbs is to be complimented on the efficient management of his school at ; Smithville. We wish for these schools a continued success. _ C. L. K. Ton cannot accomplish any work or busi? ness unless you feel well. If you feel* used up -tired out-take Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsa? parilla.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Since the world began there were never two noses exactly alike, and there is just as much difference in taste as there is in noses. The successful clothier con? stantly has his fingers on the pulse of popu? lar taste. It is his business to discover in what direction the tide of popular pref? erence is flowing. Then and then only can he hope to be in a position to offer some? thing that is certain to attract all hands. Of course, in making up our spring stock we could not have the pleasure of consulting you personally, but you will admit that we have been success? ful in anticipating your desire if you will call and look at our superb styles for the coming season.
