b-en a necessity ton years &?o, ii is crying
oecesity now Ten years ago there was
ooibtog at the depot but the depot, toiay
some of the largest interests that Scruter
possesses are centered immediately around
this locality.
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

and Barby and Co. aod this without eveo
mentioning the large portion of tbe popula?
tion of Sumter whose dwellings lie wubin

ed. To all the people whose names it is im?
possible to mention for this? district, tbe
walk from their place of bosiness or from
their dwellings to the postoffice is a long
and ardoon* one Io other words taking the
present posteffieu as a center of radiation
there in no suburb of the cit? so densely
populated or whose interest represented io
money or volume of bosiness, anythig like
approximates in importance the section of
the city ROove referred to.
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
