I sSUMTER:YlLLRs

Since the commencement of our edito-
rial labors and the establishment Of the
q Banner in November 1876, no mention
has been made in t;oMr columns. Of our
village Of SanaterYille, We think i. de-
serves at least passing notice. 2
Sumterville, as we are informed, was
settled between forty and 6fty years ago,
Its location, like that OF most Of the Court
House towns and villages in this State,
was accidental, and apparently not very
favorable either, 10 business or health
II is conceded that location ON the land
immediately west Of pocolaiigo creek and
the village, about three miles distant from
its present site, would have been much
more suitable. 1t is nearly surrounded
by sWamps and ponds, and, from this
cause, would be supposed unhealthy; yet
it is healthy, as the general appearance
Of our population tes.ifes. AS place OF
business, being thesite Of the Court House
and the capital Of the District, it neccssa-
rily receives considerable portion Of the
Sumter trade, ss,f. @ S 49, 40. Is
!. Since its incorporation at the Legisla-
tive session. of 1916, Sumterville appears
to have received a stimulus, which was
formerly unknown to il and which has
produced beneficial results. Previous to
that time, no pnhlic spirit for the improve
ment of the village was mar Tested; and
the place was known as the theatre Of
much dissipation,a Now the theory and
practice of the people are generally NOR
81, tho appearance of the village has been
much improved by the erection Of numer-
GUS new buildings,and the comfort Of the
villagers increased by the elevation Of the
sidewalks, the rounding Of. the streets, a
night police, and other measures. For
merly moderate rain watcrlogged our
streets and rendered walking very un-
pleasant; now walking is generally with
some comfort. Some public spirit has
been manifested in various quarters by
the setting out of beautiful shade trees
and by other improvements. The Court
House is being enlarged to almost double
its present, size. as q matter Of coDvcn-
fence and necessity. There are three
churches, the Presbyterian, the Baptist,
and the Methodist, in which religious SER.
vices arc held, in ono at least, generally
every Sunday. Two only Of the streets
are generally called by name; Main,
running in front Of the Court House, and
Broad, crossing Main, and running in
front Of the Baptist and Methods, church,
es. A new and comnodions street has
also been lately opened much for the con-
yenience Of the villagers, But what par
ticularly,merits notice and attracts atten-
ton: is the spirit of enterprise manifested
in the village during the last two years
since its incorporation. Whether this is
the result of the incorporation is doubted
by many; it is certain that enterprise ex-
lists, and much more peace, quiet and
security than before that event. We
hope it is stableand will continue so and
for the benefit Of the whole body polite.
The prosperity Of the village is desirable
as the prosperity Of the capital Of the
District.

ienee ofonr yallagers as we'll as those who
come to our village from the direction Of
Cnmden and S,atesburg, new. slreethas
been opened by tonr toxin council running
ot some. distance back Of the Presbyterian
Church from the Camden road to Ethe
street running, by the east side of the male
Academy Of Which it may properly be
said to be a continuation. The land sooxer
which. it passes was granted, We believe,
by the proprie,o,s. The new street IS Of
considerable width; and adds much tosthe
appearance Of that part Of the village.
Formerly, in order to leave the village in
that direction, ,sshe 9 eiscait hud To be
made around the Presbyterian Church.
Now this necessity is avoided. AS mny
be eonjcctured, the opening ofsthis new
thoroughfare has added much to the
val ne Of the lapds on; each side Of the

the following paragraph, WHICH we extract
from his letter of April ~, furnishes infor-
nation of very great interest and value to the
people of this country, concerning the cotton
trade in East India; ~
!, IA late report made by select committee
of the House Of Commons upon the subject
of the cotton trade, seems TO- put the ques-
ton about this country's deriving It's supply
of the raw material from the East Indies TO
rest for an indefinite period. Amongst other
things, this report states:
"The cotton goods annually exported from
England amount to about E25,O0O,00O in
value, or nearly one half Of the whole amount
of exports, The manufacturing of cotton
goods employs 100000 people, or about
one-tenth of the whole population These
two statements are decisive as to the inpor
tance of this branch Of business TO Great
Britain. The importation of raw cotton from
India commenced in 1900, a year or two be-
fore that from America began. Since 1919
the trade with India has heen perfectly free.
India furnishes, in weight, about one.eiRhth
Of the entire British consumption. But, in
point Of quality, it is only about half the val
ue Of American cotton. The value Of India
cotton imported is therefore, about one-six-
teenth of the whole. sIndia can never com
pete with America in the produce of cotton
Cotton is known to lave been cultivated in
India more than 800 years, but yet tho
quantitytexpo does not exceed in quanti-
ty one-fourth. or in value one-eighth, Of what
& is exported from a feW of tho Southern
States of tho United States, where Il has
3 not been known sixty years. The voyage
from India is about thres r1es; the length az

The first blow that strikes down tyranny Gre
aies "a free press! Every where as Kings fall, or
reforms come, liberty Of speech is heralded as
ths event of the day
Censorship of the Press Is an engine OF tyran-
ny. Il is so regarded, not in comparatively en-
lightened countries alone, but even in half civ
ilized lands. federation is proclaimed in Tur-
key. A newspaper Immediately is begun -
Old EKNsT, Of Hanover, is frightened 10 gran,
TO his people reforms. Quickly, the daily jour
nal, free as air, springs up in city, town, and
country.
In this, then, let Us have the word and the
blow Let the press iesP up wherever desPO-
tism is buried Let free speech strike down,
and keep down, all tyranny. And forever ae-
cursed be that man who shall bride honest
speech, or thought, OF sentiment, whenever OF
