PLANS LAID FOR RIG DEVELOP.
ME N'T COMPANY.
Tlie Publle S|Mrlted and ProgreHslvc
Ru?lii<*Mr4 Men Arc nt Work on the
Organisation of n Comprehensive
Company to Develop nn Extensive
Suburban Property.
For the past ten years Sumter ha->
grown and prospered In a material
way most remarkably and the past
five years have been more notable
for growth, progress and prosperity
than the first half of the decade,
Notwithstanding the Wall Street
panic and Its paralysing effect upon
the financial clrclea of the country
has been 10 stagnation In the building
trades, and houses have continued to
be built Dlspite the panic Sumter
has held her own, for the county Is
prosperous and a Wall Street panic,
while it crippled business by tying
up money, could not and did not de?
stroy the substantial prosperity that
the South Is enjoying. The panic
did, however, create a feeling of ap?
prehension and atayed for a time the
development of many promising en?
terprises. No man could forecast
the ultimate e"ect of the panic and
men of means who had not irrevoca?
bly committed jlheir money to the
promotion of large undertakings that
In the very nature of the case would
require years to complete and put on
a proper paying basis, took counsel
of prudence and played a waiting
game. 1 hey held fast to their
money and let the most promising
enterprises wait for more settled
times in the financial world. This
condition has been fhe rule throughout
the country and Sumter has not es?
caped. While there has been growth
and progress along ordinary lines,
there has been a lethargic condition
In respect to extraordinary and larger
enteprise. arid some of the largest
and most Important undertakings for
the benefit of Sumter that have ever
been promoted by Sumter business
men, have t?een practically abandon?
ed for the past several months, al?
though prior to the panic the plans
bad assume! definite shape. Now
that the pardc Is a thing of the past
and the vast reserve stock of capital
which was hid away In strong boxes
and old stockings Is again seeking In?
vestments* In all the money markets
of the country, the apprehension of
* ?cal capitalists have likewise vanish?
ed like the unsubstantial fabric of a
dream, and a number of public spirit?
ed etetasas are taking up sgsln the
tmpora.rily abandoned enterprises
at mean so much for the future
growth of tie town.
The Importance of having some
substantial organisation in which all,
or a large majority, of the progres?
sive and public spirited citizens shall
be Interested Is recognised by sll; for
It is admitted that unless there Is
some bond of unity among the pub?
lic spirited cltlsens the larger devel?
opment of the town In accord with
a comprehensive plan is Impossible.
There Is no: now, and never has been,
such an organisation which Is In Itself
the ncleus of broader enterprises;
and there is a well defined purpose
to perfect such an organisation that
will unite the business men of tbe
community in a, broad, comprehen?
sive undertaking that will give scope
for their enterprise and an Instru?
ment with which they can do the
work they desire to do for the town,
ind at the same time repay themselves
in dollars e.nd cents for the money in?
vested and the time and labor that
they expend. '
The undertaking around which
these plum center is the development
and utilisation of, the body of land
containing more than 400 acres in
and adjacent to the western suburbs
of the city. This land consisting of
several tracts was / acquired about
eighteen months ago by several gen?
tlemen whose purpose it was to de?
velop It along the lines suggested
above. Their plans were interfer?
ed with for a time by the panic, but
they are now In a position to consum?
mate these plans and to do so are as?
sociating with themselves a large
number of the businessmen of theclty
ThlH land is beautifully situated and
has an average elevation of 18 feet
above the city. It has a diversity of
landscape features not to be found
In any similar area any where with?
in the vicinity of the city, and is par?
ticularly well adopted to the develop?
ment of suburban homes and those
pleasure reaorts that are essential to
the development of a city and the en?
couragement of a town and suburban
electric railway. Included within
this property Is a beautiful pond,
fed by ever flowing streams whose
Hources are perennial Springs of pure
water. There is a tract of sixty or
more acres of original pine forest on
rolling land that needs but llttls of
the art of the landscape artist to
nmki' It a park whose novelty and
beauty would arrest the attention, ex
clt.? the admiration and delight the
I senses of the pleasure SSSkSf and
the tired worker in the quest of rest
I and the balm 6t the pines. There
1m a high plateau of more than 300
' aerea where pleasure reaorU golf
links and suburban homes could be
picturesque and delightfully located.
It is with feelings of satisfaction
that it la learned that there is a
movement on foot among the wide?
awake citizens of Sumter to develop
this magnificent property and by this
one act put forward the development
of Sumter a full ten years and lay
the foundation for the greater Sum?
ter of which we all have dreams.
The original purchasers of the land
have risen above selfish interest and
have decided to forego any immediate
profit on their investment for the
sake of larger profits in the future
and the general good of the communi?
ty that will eventuate from the or?
ganization of the company in which
all of the men who are making Sum?
ter forge to the front will be inter?
ested. They will turn over the land
to the company to be organized at
first cost, which is less than farm
land adjacent to it. on all sides, is
now held at. The men who take
stock in the new company will not
only be participating In a great work
for the upbuilding of Sumter but
will be buying stock at par that is
already worth a premium on the open
market, If the present market value
of the land is taken into considera?
tion. There Is but one objection to
or criticism of the plans as outlined.
It has been stated that the stock
will probably be placed in large
blocks, which would prevent any save
men of large means becoming asso?
ciated In this Important public en?
terprise. It would be wise, the
writer believes, to make the stock
allotments smaller so that men of
smaller means might have an op?
portunity to enlist in the good work.
It must be remembered that many of
Sumter's most public spirited men
and hardest workers for the upbuild?
ing of Sumter are today not rich and
therefore cannot afford large Invest?
ments that cannot pay Immediate re?
turns. But it must also be reraembed
re that the probllities are that many
of the poor but progressive men of
today will be the rich men of ten
years hence. The energy and busi?
ness acumen of these young men
will be more valuable to an enterprise
of the character of this than the big
cash subscriptions of the rich men.
Big subscriptions are of cc *rse neces?
sary and desirable, but there should
be room for the small subscriptions
and a place for the workers who hope
to qualify for the capitalist class ere
long. But be this as it may the
plan' is a big one -<nd the details are
of less importance than its success,
for its success means a great deal to
Sumter.
