Yoi Have Always Bought Signature of THE GAME COCK CITY. Editor's Pleasant Impressions of Sumter. A MANUFACTURING TOWN. Tbe vieii of tbe editor of tbo Times to Somter oo Tuesday was the first opportunity that be bad enjoyed of looking ofsr tbst city for a number of years. Tbe last view was very gratify tog. It is a oredit to tbe state to have snob towos as Somter. It is a pretty town, weh laid off, with itbady streets, baodsome residences, betokening weath eomfort aod refioemeot. Tbe business houses ars woll boilt attraotivo, showy. Tbe maio street is maoadamised and is a handsome tboroogbforo. The stores keep well selected stooks of goods well displayed aod give evidonco of largo trade of a high olass. There are few towns of tbe sise of Somter or very muoh larger that oan boaat the number of diversified indus? tries that Sumter oao. There is a large oottoo nvll 10 opera ttoo aod another about to start op, two telepbooe factories, a coffin factory, three iee factories, a golf stiok (aotory, big aottoo seed oil mill, a brick yard a number of large wood workiog mills aod a number of maobioe shops aod fooodaries. All of theee enterprises sell goods manufactured from the pro? duce of tbe eoootry, io tbe markots of tbo world aod draw tbe wealth of all seo tiooato Sumter, giving employment to boodreds of heod* aod distributing a great deal of mooey io tbe oity. Somter bae tbe Atlaotio Coast Line, the Southern aod tbe Wilson system of railroade, which gives her oousual rail? road faoilitijs for tbe diminution of goods aod ths accommodation of tbe trade of the surrounding country. Booster's boiioese meo are alive to their own interests aod tbey know that the dollars that are pot io tbo boildiog op of iodostrial lifs of tbe towo ore the dollars that are coming bask to them witb tbe most satisfactory ratio of ioorease A magnifieeot system of waterworks ia to oparatioo io tbe towo, which affords ample fire protsetioo. No sogioes are used at the fire, tbe water being thrown from tbe bydraots over Ike top of aoy boildiog io the towo, aod oo ooe oeoasioo there was a very daogeroos lookiog fire whieh was fought by seveo streams from as many bydraots. Somter boasts a fine Opera House whieh oost the oity nearly forty thoosaod dollars, but which would be an oroa meat to aoy oity io tbe State. Sumter is growing fait. Her postal receipts, whieh is the tbeimometer of trade, ?peak in oo oooertaio voice of the nrogress of the towo. This effioe has just beeo raised to tbo second class, wbteh distioetioo is eojoyed by but fow cflioee io tbe Slate. The good paoplo of Homter will sooo have their mail deliv red at their doors, which always follows when ao ofhoo is raised to the seeood olase.

What Somter is she has beeo made by tbe enterprise of her bosioess meo, who were oot eooteot to rest satisfied with the narrow spbore io which tbey were moving, aod tbey begao that poliey of eomoeroial and iodostrial expaosioo that has put that oity in tbe front raoks of tbo towns of tbe State There ia moeh io Somter that the editor of Tbe Times woold be glad to see doplioatod in Floreoeo, and we say that without treason to Floreooe, for we think that tbero are maoy things in Floreooe that Sumter might witb ad? vantage adopt, and thus, by borrowiog ideat and plans from eaoh other, these towns of the Northeast Carolina will become tbe greatest towos on earth, for tbey are made up of tbo greatest people oo uarth.
