June 27 Block River Road Mr. Bdltor; Tbe question of the immediate aad prompt construction of tbe new road across Black River seems oew to be the all abeorblag topic amoog oor merchants aod boslosee moo, ood oc o cltiseo I bsvecarefully examloed loto tbo practicability of the road ood its possible odvaotogec tbat will aceroo to the meroaotile interests of oor community, ood beg to sobmlt some figures for the con elderotioo of oor business meo whioh I thlok will coo vines the most ikepticol tbat the prompt construction of the rood ie so abeo loto necessity. We will first toke oor prescot isolated position from the most prosperous acctloo of our county, for the went of o shorter distance and belter roods than ws oow bavs, and say tbat tbs ?eceipts of cotton from this section are 1,000 bales, and which at present valoe le worth $40,000, end it will oot be denied tbat upon tbe immediate aod prompt construction of tbe road this item of receipts woald increase to 3,000 bales sod at tbe sams value would bring $120,000, so ws would bate an increase of this item alons of $80,000. Now we will examine into the possible receipts of tobacco, aod will take tbs receipts of the past seasoo, which ooder very tryiog conditions and great opposition, amounted to I am informed, half million pounds Say tbat this averaged 6c per poood, aod we bare $30,COD. Now as tbs prescot maoagement for the coming sea* too will meks greatsr efforts with less oppo? sition aod mors favorable conditions, will opoo tbe construction of this road increase thecc receipts to one million pounds, aod at sams svirage we would have $60,000 ; aod from the preeeot outlook, es I oodsrstaod, priese will be mich better than laat yeer, and tbo crop being mach better theo last seasoo, the natural presumption woold be that tbe overage will be greater, but we will argue opoo the oboeo low basis, both as to receipts aod their value, cod we have a oet increase of $110,000 to oer trede conditions. Ii this oot oo iodoocmoot for o concerted effort oo the part of oor boeioess meo to put tbe road through witboot delay. Now, tbat other traffic incident to this in? crease io oor receipts of ths main etaplee of our county will be considerable, there can he no doubt, aod ao a cltiseo aod ocs wbo desires to ses the Oity of Sumter rank io commercial importance with any city in the State of the same popolatioo, I trust tbat oo time will be lost in building tbe road. A Merchant. Tbe importance of prompt action on the part of our Businesi League in providing for tbe immediete conetruction of the road can nut be overestimated, ai the trade from tbat ?ectioD of tbe county both in cotton and to? bacco will be very large, and time is not far distant when both crope will begin to more, end we hope tbat an energetic committee from our Busioess League will be appointed to take tbe matter io band aod have tbe road built without any unnecessary delay. Tbe crope are now being laid oy, and labor in tbe sections contignoos to tbe road will be abundant for a time. Opening Ball at Glenn Springs.
