Sumter county has a novelty in the way of an exhibit o!i "pure water." It is said that nearly all drinking wa? ter contains mineral properties. But this water from Sumter is said to be "chemically pure." It is artesian water and may be obtained in inex? haustible supply. Another exhibit of wMch Sumter is proud is the display of labor-saving contrivances invented and patented by Sumter people. Among them is car coupler which does away with all possibility of danger to the employee, and a hoisting apparatus for raising drying flames in tobacco barns.-Exposition Correspondence of The State. : SAD DEATH OF A YOU.tyG HAN.
