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.
Sumter baa foor good newspapers,
Tbe Daily Item, which has beeo doing
a good work for tbe towo for six yeare,
edited by H 0 Osteeo ; Tbe Herald,
a first elaes weekly edited by J. M
Koight, Tbe Watchman aed Sootbroo,
the old reliable, edited by N. O. Oueen
aod tbe eprightly Freeman edited by
W C Ivy.
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. Hartwell M Ayer
