STRICKEN BY STREETS*^
A. few days sgo the etty of Greenville,
Miss., wes visited with the .largest con*
flagratioh it haS known for years. Five
Motes and their contenta were entirely
destroyed in about two hours. The
total loss will approximate $100,000.
Tho streets were in such s bad condi?
tion that it took the fire department
almost ono whoie hoar to reach the
scene of the conflagration. Men and
horses wading almost knee deep in mud
tugged at the: fire engine during i forty
hmg minutes to get in two blocks.
What sort of an argument is this in
favor of paving Btreet. If Sumter does
. sot improve the condition of its streets,
it will have to dc as our friend the
Advance suggests, buy Brad well's big
gray horses and several more like them,
ifor the oses of the fire department and
the protection of property in the
premises.
THE STAT2?i
The people of Sumter looked for
Ward with many pleasant anticipations
to tho edvent of this new newspaper,
in the success of which they all have
very deep interest. The State was
advertised to be published on the 17th,
hst owing to * great accumulation, of
sown and other matter at the eleventh
hour, and to some, imperfection in the
adjustment of the elaborate machinery
connected with the new press. Us pub?
lication was socsewhat delayed. Like
all good things, "discovered late," to
. those seeking, it came at last and its
(bright, newsy sol urns were none the
Hess enjoyed, especially the started
paragraphs of the first editorial column.
May they always be as bright and
Starry in the firmament of the State as
those shining ia these first issues.
The State is a handsome eight page
newspaper of six columns to the page
and has a full and complete newsservice.
The printing is excellent, the company
having purchased a brand new Cottrell
press. With an able and experieneed
editor at the head, an energetic and
well equipped force hacked by capital
sad encouraged by the sympathy of a
large number of people within and
without the State, the paper .^cserv*s
to succeed and wtR.
SOME ARCH SUGGESTIONS.
One of the most popular ideas that
has been so far presented in connection
with Columbia's Centennial celebration
is Maj, has been that the Committee in
s erect arches representing: each
In the State and- that those
Counties represented see to it that their
respective arches are appropriately
decorated.
If our memory serves us correctly
we believe there are about four blocks
oo weat Gervais Street between Union
Depot and Main, and about twelve be?
tween Agricultural Hall and Elmwood
Avenue ; three between the intersection
of Main and Elmwood and the Fair
Grounds. We suggest that double
arches representing two counties be
ho erected at each intersection of the
streets along this line. In this way the
entire thirty six counties can be easily
accommodated. We suggest further
that the Game Cock arch shall span
Maia Street at its intersection with
Gervais on the crest of the hill inme?
diately in front of the capitol, and that
Richland's Arch (provided it be appro?
priately decorated) shall unite with that
of the Game Cook County-Sumter and
Columbia, being the searest together of
the cities of Carolina, and are making
faces at each other io point of progres?.
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, dissatis ced. Th? y have
the consolation, however, of knowing
that they made a strong presentation of
their case, and one that will impress the
American people sith its truth and
eloquence.
The 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 mao
speaks the government and the army
see that we obey. Wben the red man
speaks, it goes in at one ear and out of
the other. The Indian is for eternity
interested io the subject. The white
man only when be comes into office for
two or three years.
They ask the following pertinent
questioos :
"Why was not the late treaty fixed
promptly by the great council T Why
were our rations cut down a million of
pounds? Why have not our winter
annuities come? Wby was the whole
Sioux nation called to account for danc?
ing a religious dance ? Wby are the
agents always* being changed? Why
was agent Gallagher discharged when
he wrote that our crops had failed and
our rations most net be cut down ? j
Why was the army called in by AgeDt !
Rayer ? A ad if he 7??.s right why was :
be discharged ? ?nd woy does not the
blame for what followed belong to the j
white men ? Let everything that is
said here be written do wo,-so that when
we1 have to apeak with other menait
cannot be denied what was said here?'
The Greenville News remarks, "tbe
indiana are disgusted, like everybody
else who bas a personal interview with
"the alleged "Great Father" who is hr
fact, only a grandfather and a grandson,
??B4-&afe&& ??her; akimbo distin?fet.

Ho! for tbe World's Fair.
Mr. Editor ; Some bf ns are always tak?
ing time by the fetlockland* not T>y- the fore?
lock. In correction of this principia, I
desire to lay before oar townsmen a scheme
which I am vaia enough to think is worth
conside'r-rng. About two years hence, all the
talk-fri this part of the:cooof ry,'as elsewhere,
wHl be shots the r great- World's Fair at
Chicago, and the stereotype question will be.
Are you.gojng ? The stereotype answer will}
bc." Ko Honey I Wise men bnild for tbs
future, and T desire to present ? scheme for
the consideration of the young working men
.nd wemen of the community, by which
when the time arrives,' we may ail go tc
Chicago. The scheme is a very simple one,
withont any vexing details. It simply con?
sists in beginning now to lay aside the money
necessary for the actual expenses of the trip.
I have no idea that a ten days' 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 ? vea 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 in the scheme, I propose that
we now organize 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. Tn case of failure to
pay promptly each week, they shall forfeit
five cen ts for each faitare. This forfeit fund
wili be added to the general fund, and be
divided among all the members of the' Club
on May 1st, 1893. A box will be open in
the Ba n k. o f Sumter tn to which the deposi ts'
caa 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 the understanding that it is to be paid
to the order of noone o uti! Hay, 1st,'93.
The .4 per cent, from the Bank and the
prorated, fines will give, when added-to the
principle two years hence, about $30 to each
member of tbe Clan. With a working cap?
ital of $30, it will not be bard for os to
scratch aboat and find $10 or more to add to
this, and 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 his wife. We may ali
go together, or singly. On Hay 1st, 1893, the
money will be the property of the one who
laid it aside. By arranging for a large party
togo together,'we could get better hotel rates,
snd reduce expenses somewhat. Those who'
feel able to lay aside a larger sum than 30
?ents weekly can do so. Failare to pay the
assessment'will subject them to a fine as
much greatei thao Scents as their promised
ra? ts greater-than 30 cents.
? ?ave coade several mistakes in my brief
iud transitory life, but it does seem to me
(hat this ia a feasible scheme. A visit to
[Xricago is almost equal tc?a term at aa ordi
lary school ; , a visit to the Fair will surely
?title one to a diploma. The young men and
roting women who are working daily for
)rfaers ata meagre salary should, once in a
i fe at least, beanie to go oat to see a part of
tbe world. Io what way caa it be done
aeore easily thaa in the way I have designa?
ted? Unless the Bank takes wings, the
uoney deposited will be beyond tba reach of
iuy one who might take a notion to draw it
rat, as it ie to be deposited with the under
itanding tbat.no draft on it is to be honored
intil the time named above.- Io case of
>rovideotial hindrance, where a long spell of
tick ness or distress of some kind should m*ke
t necessary, the rooney of a member ot the
""Jab,might be. returned to Wm j but other- ]
iris? be wo'ald/ofreffwh'fft be had contributed *
f beetled to keepTup -his* 'deposits according
o promise, in this way, we should, hedge
mrselves about, and compel ourselves to be
aithful even wheo our purposes io this line
>f adventure and travel had become a Int tie
ax. .
This plan ts opec, to women as well as to
nea. I hope to be able to reduce these crude
deas to some form by next week, and I will
hen announce to your readers the scheme in
is entirety. Meanwhile let us ponder the
turner, and determine apon lue amount we
bali undertake to lay by in store.
C. C. BROW?.
Sumter's south-East Suburb.
"God mad? the country and man made the
own," said the poet; bat asks Elizabeth
bellamy,"who invents the suburb, that region
if idyllic'promise to which distaste lends
-uchaotmeot j that mirage of the nrban
lesert, so alluring to those endowed with the
ural temperament, and ?filleted with the
?urse inadequate? We answer, "The Stumer
jood aad improvement Company." Ther
ire doing a splendid work for the city, for
bose who have not money sufficient to buy
uough elbow room in t?rru, and also for
bemselves. Choice suburban spots at other
xtrerae points of the town have io the main
)een built up to a considerable distance out.
?Ve were surprised to see in driving out last
veek by the C. S. * N. R. R. depot, over this
>roperty, what wonderful changes have been
ar rouget in its condition by the Land Com?
pany. Streets have been graded, sidewalks
aid out, obstructions removed, and the place
s rapidly putting on the appearance of a sub
irh&n town. '
It extends from M*j W. F. B. Hiynsworth's
ind tbe Sumter Canal on the north, crossing
Calhoun and Liberty Streets, to the Radical
[load, which forms its eastern boundaty, to the
iou them extremity of the property, lt is
rounded os the sooth by the tram road. The
janal runs through the middle and is an
important factor in the drainage. This tract
rf land, in area about 400 acres, is divided
iitto blocks ot uniform s-z-, 600 feet in length,
:>y 316 feet wide. Atter allowing fora 16
Foot alley way through the centre of these
."docks, or squares, they ure subdivided into
lots 50 ft et wide by 150 feet in depth. These
lots front on nicer? graded streets, 60 feet in
width. The streets which run north and
louth are designated by number?, 1. 2 3 ?c.,
and those renning east and west, alphabeti?
cally, and are styled avenues. On the south
side of the W. C & A li R about six blocks
have bern laid out and streets graded opposite
the C. S. & N RR. drpot and east ot Carr's
Mill. The Main Siree?s have parks laid out
in varions pinc?e, and no pains have been
spared ic properly laying off and grading the
property ac?oi diner to 'he best principles of
landscnpe tne'meering. M?ues have been
removed wherever they ?brtrueted thennifoitn
arrangement of thesirtet>. The best street
gilding machine has been purchased by the
company and is used in grading ail th?
property. There isa thoroughf ? i e or boule?
vard running from where the W. C. k A B.
il crosses Liberty street, to the ^?uih-eas'trn
extremity of the property. This? ia called ihe
Sumter Boulevard md is ne iring compution.
A full corps of axemen and other woiknien
are employed upon it and are removing
stumps, tock, aad other obstructions by the
use of dynamite. Sites have been reserved
for large manufacturing enterprises on both
sides of the R It fronts Trvre is one
feature about this property with which we
were practically impressed. Il is much high?
er and better drained in many places than we
expected to find it and considerably higher
than some valuable property in the city.
When the thorough system of sewerage now
being devised, is put in operation, this pro?
perty will be as desirable as'.nv witbiti the
same distance from 'lie Court House.

Capt. R A'.: Brand, toe freight soliciting
ftgeot of the Atlantic Coast Line, was present
id with ?* team" of two moles'and a covered
wagon whieh "ivas stored to -its' utmost
capacity with furniture, bedding and frtrm
yard paraphernalia, including a lot. of
chickens, evidently the worldly goods of some
person febo'was on the moVe and'-had parked
iway 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 man drove up to
the depot wirb the turnout a day or two ago,
just before the arrival of the passenger train,
rad- came opt io bim and said that a 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,
?nd that she would cal) for them on ber
mirai. He said that be expected her on the
train about to arrive ; so Capt. Brand told
?im to wait and turn them over to her him?
self, but be said be had 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
Handing ?lose where the man bad left them,
ind nothing waa to be seen of the lady whose
ir ri ral was expected., As no one was on

~Mr.-J8dilor ; I guess "dull times': are now
about as common a complaint aa "hard
times" ; such is the case here, anyhow, BO I
can give you but few items.
The weather here bas been very disagreeable
off and on for abont a month. The last
few days have been very warra. 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. ?. S. Britton is having" his "house re?
painted by 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
cue 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.
Yon cannot accomplish any work or busi?
ness unless you feel well. If you feet used up

Our Leader !
A fast black Cheviot
Suit for $10.00.
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 in
the quality, style and
general get up of our
line of suits at Ten,
Twelve, Fifteen and
Eighteen Dollars, com-r
pared to those usually
sold for the same
money.
Respectfully,
Brown & Chandler,
Cor. Main and Liberty Sis.,

From millions of customers, daring thc past years,
comes the verdict :hat VICK'S SEEDS
never
disappoint. Why waste time. money and patience on
others, when you can buy thr BEST at same price?
Make no mistake this year : send io cents for Vick's
Floral Guide, deduct thc io cents from first order*,"
and it costs nothing. It is better than ever; roo large
pa^cs, colored plates, grand novelties worthy of
cultivation Cash prizes <Siaoo and gaoo.
