Something new for Sumter is the
working of colored women convicts
on the street. This morning there
was a force of six women at woi k
clearing Canal street of grass ami put

has been the case heretofore.
The Women were under the direc?
tion of the colored foreman of the
Street gang and will he used in cut?
ting utld (dealing off the grass and
weeds from the streets ami in swecp
! Ing up the trash which accumulates.
The women will sleep in the jail at

J absence of these the city will have
to feed thin.

of Florence county has ordered an
election on the question of dispen?

August II. The anti-dispensary forces
have been marshalled for some time
and are prepared to put up a very
aggressive fight. The dispensary ad?
vocates have done little more than
! street disputation as yet, and no one
has volunteered to hoist the standard
for them to gather under, which has
been the cause of the defeat of the
dispensary in so many counties that

A railroad man who is well posted
on affairs in his line of business and
keeps in tomb with railroad develop
menl asserts that in railroad circles
the belief is fixed that the Seaboard
and allied interests will build from
Sumter to Charleston in the near fu?
ture. This belief is based not BO
much upon inside information, al?
though this is not lacking, as upon
the tact that railroads adopt the di
red route for a trunk line whenever
it is possible to do so. The line from
Charlotte to Charleston vit Monroe,
McBee and Sumter is thirty-seven
miles shorter than the route via
Florence, which is the strongest sort
of argument in favor of the Sumter
Charleston route. Furthermore Mr.
Bonsai la on record as stating that he
t "would not have built this road to
Sumter If lie had not intended to go
? further" and more recently that he
\ "has not changed his plans nor his
Intentions respecting the Sumter ex
