J Roddey of Hock Hill, State manager of the Equitable Life lnsurane e Company e>f New York, and Mr. Cornell, of the real estate department of the company, visited the city with the view of making loans of the? company's money here at some time in the future. The gentlemen were shown over the city by Mr. W*. S. Jones, the local agent of the Equitable Life Insurance Company, and were much pleased with It. Mr. Corne-11, who was he>re ahout two years ago with Urn same ob Jet t in view, .stated during his trip o\. r the city that he- could m>te many improvements in the city since his former visit and he seemed very much surprised to see how many beneficial chunks had been made. Om ??f the buildings gone over by the two gentlemen was the Y. M. C. A. b nlding with which Mr. Hoddy was very much pleased. Mr. Cornell stated that it was one of the be->t buildings and the most completely equipped Inatltnlom of its kind which he had see>n anywhere. The Equitable Company expects to place one million dollars in loans on real estate in this State. Mr. W. S. Jones, the local agent, stated Satur? day morning that he would us<? all his efforts to get as much of this mon? ey in Sumter as possible. He said that the visit of the gentlemen Friday was satisfactory and that in the near fu? ture loans would be placed on prop? erty in the city through him. I?r F. M.

The coming of tin- Seaboard, to be ? formally signalised by tin- running of 1 excursion train over tin- new road to ihis city at an early date, lias a deep- I cr significance than the mere Riling of the city for one da) with o crowd of sxcursionisti who will be welcom- ' ed and entertained with all the lavtsh ness for which the Gamecock City is famoua Tins t penlng of a new road to Sum ter, "The Center," has the same deep ?Leaning that the opening of any sort of road has always had from the be? ginning of time it means the develop? ment of commerce ami the accelera? tion of the onward march of prog? ress in giving to tin- people along the new trade routs an easy way for ob? taining the things which are neces? sary to the happiness Of man in these times of modernism. Living In this new trade territory, which will be put In ClOM touch with the Qamecock <?lty when the trains begin running on the new road, are hundreds of families, who, for the first time, will be- given the opportunity of frequent visits to n ce nter which can supply every want of which they find themselves conscious; not that these same families have never been visitors to Buntter many a time be? fore, but they will now be bale to come offener, and they will come more frequently for the very obvious reason thai they can come and re? turn to their homes more easily and quickly than heretofore and at much less expense, Where formerly they had tO travel perhaps live to twenty miles by private conveyance, and then Wait for various railway connections, now they will only have a short ride or walk, which will put them on a train with Sumtcr as its direct desti? nation. The people of Sumter In general and the Chamber of Commerce in par? ticular have succeeded in ha\ing this road come here, thereby opening up the fertile and prosperous territory through which it passes, and it is up to the business men of the city to make the City of Sumter of interest to the people who are coming here regularly to do their shopping, and once they have succeeded in convinc? ing these people the advantages of Sumter as a trading center, to hold this trade by advertising thoroughly in every legitimate manner their plac es of business, and the values of? fered here. With the purpose in view of obtain ? ing new subscribers along the new J railway and of giving the business J men of Sumter the opportunity to i personally invite the patronage of those who will come to Sumter the <iay of the formal opening of the new road and to offer any special Induce? ments in the way of bargains for the above day, a special edition of the Watchman and Southron will be is? sued a short time before the excur? sion day. Special care will be taken to hil tins paper with as many enter? taining and Interesting articles as pos? sible, due space, of course, belog de? voted to the attractions to be offered those who visit Sumter the day of the excursion?nn official name for the day being now sought by the Cham? ber of Commerce, with a two dollar prise going to tin- winner. Coming hack to the proposition of { securing advertising space in this special edition, it would be a waste of time and space t<? argue the necessity of every merchant and business man of Sumter being represented in this Special issue of tho Watchman and Southron. And this is not a mere quotation from ;tn antiquated adage. So business man who is really trying to make a success disputes the value of advertising and especially newspa? per advertising as a drawing force In his business. Suffice it to say that, however skeptical of the value of ad? vertising, the reasons for being repre? sented in our special issue of the Watchman and Southron must be obvloua a large number of sample copies will be sent out to families along the new road, besides the pa? llets which *-ro to our regular sub? scribers who live in Sumter, Lee and Clarendon Counties and who will be here on the festive day to help Sum? ter celebrate. <>n Monday morning our advertis? ing man will make a round of every business house in Sumter Soliciting advertisements for the special Issue He will have with him a dummy of the paper showing size and location of the advertising space for sale, and he will take pleasure in assisting it every way to make this advertising ?'copy" a trade winning proposition WeM Point Sc holarship.
