Some of the interest that would be conserved by a letter box placed at the Atlantic Coast Line depot would be tbe* Sumter Cotton Hills And all of tbe bands working in sam* and wboee dwellings lie immediately contiguous thereto, the Cotton Compress, the entire force of the Atlaotic Coast Line Railroad system (and their daily mail is eotremsly large) the eottre workiog force of the Scut aero Railway system whose mail ii also largo ; the Atlantic Cotton Oil Co ; G D.

The object of the box is ioteoded to make easy the mailing of matter by large bodies of citizens whose facilities for reacbiog the post oflke are difficult. The box referred to I respectfully suomit does thai one (.biog more thoroughly nod completely than a box placed in any other locality in Sumter could do. There is a large body of men whose inter? ests wouid be aiso directly subserved by the placing of this box at the Atlantic Coast Line depot, viz , the hundreds upon hundreds of drummers visiting our town per week, these meo are kept busy op to ibe Isst moment and theo rush into their hotel and write up their day's business hurriedly and they have oot timp then to go back down town to the post office to mail their matter and get back up to the hotel in time to catch tbe boas, therefore to these gentlemen this depot box would be a t boom indeed. From nil of the &bo*e f*ct3 I therefore indulge the hope, as one interested, tbat one of tbe boxes will be placed at tbe depot ' Citizen.
