Th?- County Hoard of Commission?
ers met as usual on Tuesday, it being
tin- first in tiie month, and transacted
a good amount id' business. The chief
matter to come up was tin- resolu?
tion that the county should not here?
after quarantine small pox cases, as
the county was at all times open tu
disease, hut action on this resolution
was deferred.
The following matten were passed
on, all of the commissioners being
present:
EUlas G. Green, colored, presented
a petition for damages to horse and
buggy amounting to $7">, alleged l,?
have 1 eon caused by his lmrs,. back?

He claimed that the accident would
tad have occurred had tin- railing on
the bridge been in place, as it should
have been, and had his horse not be
?ome fright, tied at a hole in the
I bridge which should not have been
there.
j After the hearing a resolution was
passed to the effect that the county
was not liable as the supervisor had
not been notified of the condition of
t
the bridge and it was in good condi?
tion when he had passed It the week
previous.
j The petition of W. K. Luckey for a
Ex-Confederate pension was granted.
The petition of T. C. Edwards, which
had heen deferred from the last
meeting of the hoard, was also
gr .? t< d, Action on petition- from J. T.
Hrown and J. R. Brunson were de?
ferred]
Mr. R. I?. Bppfl was informed, up?
on his request for such Informa?
tion, that the lots on the law range
WOUld he 'old only for law ofRcefl at
$soo each, Mr. it. B, Belser later
asked the county hoard to name a
prhv at which the wind?' lot would
he sold. Mr. Belser was informed
that the lots would only he sold for
office purposes.
The matter of opening a new road
from Privateer to '"Old Ford" was
discussed and it was decided that the
road should he granted upon condi?
tion that the rights of way for same

The m \t matt.a- to cone tip was
the treatment and attention to be
giv. tt to small pox patients. The fol?
lowing resolution was introduced, hut.
after dtSCUSSton. it was decided to
postpone action on it until a later
date.
it wa- moved and seconded:
That, whereas, \\<- the County Com?

ail the stock has been mescribes* and
a meeting to complete the organiza?
tion of the company will he held
within the next few days. The men
who have taken the lead in the pro?
motion of this enterprise have found
no difficulty in interesting a majority
of the leading merchant! and bankers
in it and tin- ompany will begin
business with ample financial back?
ing and the assured support of the
merchants' of e*umter. There is an
opening litre f- r a wholesale dry

son for the confidence that its pro*
motets feel in its success.
gumter possesses unejm ttlonshss

and a wholesale dry goods company
Should not only be able to make mon?
ey for its stockholders but to save
money f..r the I stall merchants of
this city and of this entire seetion of
the State.
The company svlll be organised with
a capital of twenty to twenty ?den
thousand dollars, but the charter
will permit of an Increase in the cap?

demands additional money. The mcii
I who will compose the company know*

wholesalers in the north, consequent*
i,

handle the trade ban their MSB*
Petitors. The biegest SSSSt of the
business will be the support of the
retailers of the city who wdll be
personalty Interested in the wh.desiia
house, since a reasonable share of
the local business will guarantee tho
success of the new company.
The company win be conservatively
managed and it is for this reason that
it will start with comparatively small
capital for it is the plan to develop
the business gradually and build up
a tcjade on merit and good SSfVlee?
There w ill be no lack ? I* money to
