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 ? Let everything that ia
said here be written dows, so that wheo
we>;ba?e to apeak -#ith other menait
cannot be denied wiiat^was s?i? here?*-1

Indians are disgusted, like everybody
else who bas a personal interview with

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

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.

. 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.

'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.

Our Leader !
A fast black Cheviot
Suit for $10.00.
li Attracts JMT
Perhaps you think it
is a comparatively
easy thing to produce
a suit of clothes that
will be attractive to
everybody. 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. You
will be surprised to
see the difference iii
the quality, style and
general get up of our
line of suits at Ten,
Twelve, Fifteen and
Eighteen Dollars, com-?
pared to those usually
sold for the same
money.
Respectful!)',
