Baminat ons &n Remarks on
Wbat He Saw in tho Georgia
Metropolis.
Savannah, Gav Jase 5, 1899 -After a
mdk of glori os boc, bomine and bon boss
and boo everything, fe Bennion veteran bon
Tirants who ne'er expected ever to crowd so
neb of unalloyttl enjoyment into one short
wtek again, dorins our remaining kick opon
? t&is aundone batt, disintegrated a od diasi
. puted and dispersed oorselvee and retired
peaceably to onr respective homes-all save
year spell booed rip-porter, who conidn't
disperse and did'nt try, bat seethed along for
another week viewing the sights and scenes i
of ocr long time borne, until Sunday morn- j
feg the 2l8t, wheo oar veteran pass expired 1
ad we were presented with another pass
which passed ua the other way, wheo instead j
et turning oar fae ss towards the Gamecock
city we boarded tte Port Tampa vestibule of
the. vast Plant stem, io. the early matin
baan, ad rambled and clanked down the!
riee and track faming coast with a whiz and j
-aimek that utterly disregarded every historic !
tradition, every languinary or sentimental j
incident so in tin Atel j associated with the j
tites and scenes alang this coast-land in the
pregnant pail, and reached thia beautiful
e y of sand and foliage in ample time fer
matutinal refresh nen ts, a d here we have
been- babbling up calm and serene for over
two weeks enjoying sweet intercourse with
ti second and third generation of oar o wo
peculiar Gov. family.
Savannah might be most appropriately
c ubbed the city of magnificent areas, aa it
verily excites wonder to note with what lav
ish N extravagance tee precious aerea are
elevated to immeasurably broad- highways
ead drives, to a , vast parade ground of 22
icree, and a hog* park of 10 aerea and an
other of 59 acres ia ita midst, and toother
parks and squares- and pleasure groo ods
throughout ita length and breadth. South
Broad Street, now Oglethorpe Avenue ex
tending from Blast to West comprises two
" beautiful asphalt drives on eiiher aide of an
. avenue of various trees between which there
ia a broad-green sward, making io ali a mag
.ni cent boulevard.
Just here we'd say that Savannah baa bad
ik vaned experience ia the matter of paving,
from the native chert to asphalt and Belgian
blocks, from shell and gravel to vitrified
?brick, and we've been at some diligent paics
taking to inqairefinto Ute comparative merits,
durability and cost of same, and if our
: Gamecock etty is still agitating the question
of coating our sand crust highways we will
take pleasure in famishing information as to
facto and figures, for we take aa abiding in
terest is thc matter, and aa we tried to say
once before, good roads and way e faro ian
one instance of a laxo ry becoming a down
right -seonomy. Thc foundation of the streets
of Sumter much resemble that of Savannah
lo that both arc deep beds of sand, bat Sa- j
ranaab is rapidly solving the problem and
becoming a city of smooth and solid way a j
and wai ks, though there are un pa red streets
yet, and sand deep and heavy for bur
dened Vams. We hope Sumter may adopt
the macadam ; for after her streets are graded
and cambered aad crowned with that shoe
a&d wheel destroying pavement, it will form
a grand foundation for thc beautiiol asphalt,
or fer the vitrified bride (Reynolds block)
and we arc satisfied that neither oar two
woosters or four wheelers will ever rest satis
fied until the macadam is buried out of sight
by some other more sightly and comfortable
coating. The city owes U to herself tbat, at
toast, stain and Liberty Streets be made or
namental and substantial highways and
drives.
We have had the benefit of an interview
with toe Commissioner of Public Works and
obtained information and statistics that are
valuable ia this lice, as to cost aod life of
pavements, also aa to parka aod squares and
sobarcan roadbeds aod driver and other
attractive matenga that are necessary and
vafaable adjuncts to a growing city as Sum
te is undoubtedly destined to become in the
very near future.
Bat "First the Growth of Sumter," which j
is very appropriately adopted aa the motto of
thc Daily Item, will depend apon whether.
Boater adopts the methods and engages her
capital in those enterprises which extend a
helping hand to the surrounding country.
There mott be aa in ter help of the mental and
the manual, of brain and brawn, eapital aod
labor, aod the entente cordiale. In our
boars of leisure here we have been paying
tome attention to the different enterprises
which have assisted io making this a popu
lar and a prosper os city wi b prosperous
environs reaching oat for many miles, bot io
only two directions, Sooth aod West, for the
river and its marshes are on tbe North and
thc ocean oa the East; whereas, Sumter
reaches to every point, with superior soil
which only lacks the inducements of a ready
market, thc opportunities, to develop ber rich
aod varied resources. We've seen no lands
cr soil that are naturally superior to those
surrounding aoc tributary to Sumter city.
The landa immediately surrounding this city
are really inferior and undeveloped. The
prosperity of Savannah is owing more to ber
importance as a ^Southern seaport and the
vast ejstem of railroads centering here ;
but she also patronizes her ewe industrial
enterprises-sbe sells Savannah made snap,
Savannah beer, havannah baskets and Savan
nah br corns, and did have a barrel factory
also, and perhaps, other industries wbicb we
have caught oh to. All of which Sumter
could profitably establish together with a
starch factory nd other enterprises tbat
would tend tc ioduce, and tempt, and bribe,
and wean our farming community from the
4c cotton frenzy. We baveo't seen a eiugle
stalk of cotton since crossing tbe Savannah
river and we've been 15 miles ou: io the sur
rounding coantry.
A letter thia moment received from your

that's just "what's the matter with Han

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT.
To his Honor, W. C. Benet, Presiding Judge.
We would report that we have duly re
ceived aod acted on all bills banded to ns by
solicitor. Having acted on these bills-in
order to secure tbe best results with tba least
possible expense to the county, we have form
ed from our body the following committees,
to wit.
A committee to examine the Poor House
and its inmates. This committee reports 36
inmates; of tbis cumber, 26 are white and 10
are colored. The superintendent states tbat
one colored boy about 20 years old is subject
to fits at times and that this boy will not
submit to tbe rules and restrictions of the
Poor House. We therefore recommend that
tbe superintendent be empowered to discbarge
said boy from the Poor House, if necessary.
We feel sure that the superintendent performs
h s duties in a humane aod Christian manner,
and that tbe inmates are well fed, comforta
bly clothed, aod receive good medical atten
tion.
The committee on the jail and court booie
report that the court house is in good repair
except the ceiling in tbe auditor's office needs
mending. Complaint is made that the low
posts around the court boose grounds cannot
be seen at night and that persons have been
iojared by walking over them. We recom
mend that the posts be removed. The com
mittee finds thal tbe jul is in good repair
except a small leak which will be fixed in
the near future. The prisoner^ are well fed,
are clean, and have an abundance of fresh
air. The sanitary arrangements are ot
modero design.
A committee to examine the books and rec
ords of the county officers has been appoint
ed. This committee-feeling the responsibility
of its imposed duties, and believing that it
will require considerable time to properly
attend to these duties have decided to hand
in a thorough report at the next sitting of
this court.
A committee is also appointed to meet later
with the County Board of Commissioners to
examine into alleged irregularities charged
against certain magistrates of this county.
In our last presentment this body recom
mended to the Board of County Commission
ers that they organize a thoroughly equipped
force for build ling and repairing bridges and
construction of public highways, said force
to work independently of the chain gang
We are gratified to report that this force has
been organized and is doing good work.
In conclusion the Grand Jory wish to
thank your honor, the solicitor atd the
county officials generally for the uniform
courtesy and consideration shown us.

Bad management keeps more people in poer
circumstances than any other one cause. To
be successful one must kok ahead aod plan
ahead so that wheo a favoranle opportunity
presents itself be is ready to take advantage
of it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A prudent
and careful man will keep a bottle of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy in the bouse, tbe shiftless fellow will
wait until oeces ity compels it and then ruin
bis best boree going for a doctor and have a
big doetor bill to pay, besides; one pay out
25 cents, the other is out a hundred dollars
and then wonders why bis neighbor is getting
richer while he is getting poorer. For sale

SUMTER, S. C., May 3, 1899.
Tbs following jast received from Overman
Wheel Company :
"Owing to ibe great and increasing de
mand for a medium priced bicycle, and the
fact that many of our riders are demanding
a Victor Spin Roller Chain leas, we have de
cided to REDUCE THE PRICE of the VIC
TOR and VICTOR CHAIN BICYCLES to
$40.00 on and after ibis date."
We have a few of these on hand, and now
is tbe time for you to get a bargain.
Clevelands range from 335 to $75.
All the above are the 6oe6t wheels that can
possibly be turned out, and you will bear us
i out in thia once you become one of our riders.
Happy riding meao3 a happy mount, and a
happy mount means your riding one of our
wheels. "The repairmen don't Bnow them."
If you are thinking cf buying, let u'> know j
and we will show you a few facts.
If you want any of tbe above wheels at the
cbarmiog prices mentioned, you better come
at once, as we only have a few left
