The Letter Hexes?A Suggestion.
To the Kdnor of the Item :
We obierve acuong tbe news iu jcur valu?
able colutms 'bat Sumter i?t ebout to tecorte
the recipient of four letler nnxes through the
city for the convenience of*it| citizens. I
naiurHlly suppose thM He aelectiou of the
location of tr/eee four boles Is ?matter of
public moment and that |?i their nlaciaf
regnrd will be bad to the old democratic
principle of, tbe ?rennet good to
the tfrcateet number, and reasoning
along thu line 1 nsk Iba spate in your paper
to suggest the strong necessity of having one
of the four boxe9 placed at the Atlantic
Coast Lice depot This oox may not nave
b-en a necessity ton years o^o, it is crying
oecesity now Ten years ago there was
nothing iu the depot but the depot, tolay
some of tbe largest interests that Somter
possesses are centered immediately around
this locality.
Some of tbe interest that would be
conserved by a letter box placed at tbe
Atlantic Coast Lino depot woold be tbe'
Somter Cotton Mills and all of tbe bands
working in same and whose dwellings lie
immediately contiguous thereto, the Cotton
Compress, tbe eotire foree of the Atlaotic
Coast Lioo Railroad system (eod tbsir daily
mail is entremely large) the eotire working
force of tbe Southern Reilwey system wboee
mall is also large ; tbe Atlantic Cotton Oil
Co ; O D Shore * Oo ; Tbe Harby Bkg.
Go.; L?bens Lombsr Oo. : tbs immence plant
of the new Telephone Mfg. Oo. ; Wither
spoon Bros Mfg plsot; both of tbe present
Ice fsctories end the oew ice plant oow in
process of construction, to tbe power boose;
end Harby eod Oo. eod this without evso
meetiooing the large portion of tbe popula?
tion of Somter whose dwellings lie within
the immediate purlieu of tbe district mention
ed. To ell the people whose names it is im?
possible io. msetioo for tbisl district, tbe
walk from their place of business or from
their dwellings to the postoffice is a long
and erduoes one In oiber words taking the
present posteffice as a center of radiation
there in no suburb of tbe city so densely
populated or whose interest represented in
money or voiome of business, anythig like
approximates io importance tbe section of
tbe city above referred to.
Tbe ot j'.ct of tbe box is io tended to make
easy the mailing of matter by lar~* bodiee of
citiseos whose facilities for reach rv tbe post
office are difficult. Tbe box rtfjrred to I
respectfully submit does that one tbiog more
thoroughly and completely than a box placed
io any other locality io Sumter could do.
There is a large body of men whose inter?
ests would be also directly subserved by tbe
placing of this box at tbe Atlaotic Coast Lioo
depo;, vis , the hundreds upon hundreds of
drommers visiting our town per week, these
moo ere kept busy op to tbe last moment and
theo rush into their hotel and write op their
day's business hurriedly aud they have not
time theo to go hack down town to tbe post
office to mail their matter and get back up to
the botel in time to catch the boss, therefore
to these gentlemen this depot box would be a
boom indeed.
From all of tbe above facts I therefore
indulge tbe hope, as one interested, that one
of tbe boxes will be placed at tbe depot
