LOCAL PARAGRAPHS.
The Baseball Association Carnival
is* over. There has been a large
attendance and those who like carni?
val shows seemed to have enjoyed the
weeks festivities, but one week of it Is
a sufficiency.
The Sumter High school football
team will have a jjame here Thanks?
giving day with either Carolina Uni?
versity scrub team or the team from
the Charleston High school.
The sewerage system is practically
complete, but cannot be turned over
until a defect in a pipe on tho Oak?
land avenue line is repaired. This is an
unimportant defect and will delay the
work only a few days. The total cost
of the system will not exceed $90,000.
As soon as the sewerage commission
is ready to turn the completed sys?
tem over to the city an accurate state?
ment of the cost of the system and a
comparison with what the cost would
have been had the work been done by
contract will be published as a matter
of information. At this time it looks
as If the city had saved considerable
money by having the work under i.he
direct supervision of the sewerage
commission.
Dispenser Windham says that he
has noticed already an Increase in the
patronage from Clarendon county.
The mail order whiskey houses and
the express company will also be cog?
nizant that Clarendon has voted out
the dispensary and Is nominally pro?
hibition territory.
Eight cent cotton Is a great incen?
tive to oat planting and consequently
the acreage sowed in oats this fall bids
fair to be greater than It has been in
a number of years. Every farmer, al?
most, will assert, that It pays to plant
oats and devote more attention to di?
versified farming, when the price of
cotton Is low. but few of them practice
what they preach except under duress.
Now that tho sewerage system is an
accomplished fact and the city has It
off Its hands?except the money bor?
rowed from the local banks to finance
the undertaking?the city fathers can
begin planning for street Improve?
ments. The streets need Improvement
nadly, but It will be wise to pay off
the debt Incurred for the sewerage
s.stem and get a substantial balai ce
iu the city treasury before any exten?
sive street work Is undertaken. Taxes
are high enough now and property
owners are not eager for any addition?
al bond Issues nor do they look with
favor upon an increase in the tax levy.
Besides it is probable that the dispen?
sary Will be abolished by a state wide
prohibition law or be voted out with?
in the next year or two, which would
reduce the city's annual Income fully
$20.0G0.
The cotton warehouse Is a great
convenience to the farmers and many
of them who are holding a part of
their crop for higher prices have cot?
ton stored here. The warehouse is not
yet full, but more than four thousand
bales have been packed away to await
an advance in prices.
There will be no occasion for Sum?

most elaborate style. Among the
amusements that will be furnished
