TIE CROPS IN SUMTER.
Tho Nows says: "We have always said, and
we now hero repeat, that tho cotton crop OF
Sumter County will DO larger than that Of lost
year-nnd We arc not apprehensiye that we
will dopreciate tho price of cotton-by a cor
rect view Of what will bo mado in our county,"
hot the cotton crop of Sumter County will OK
ceed that OF last year, that the price will rule
high, and that the crops Of corn and rice will
aero. 1t is tue that We will mako much less
corn than we did last year, hut we planted
much less this year than last. Ono OF tho edl-
tors OF this paper has field Of corn WHICH has

A STEAM PLOUGH.
The Sumter News says "We are informed
that steam plough is now on the WY from
England to Sumter. This plough is worked
by two upright engines OF forty horse power
aggregate. Attached to these arc the neces-
sary machinery for saving lumber, grinding
corn, thresbipg wheat. &c.
A REUNION OF SUMTER AND CLARENDON.
Tho Sumter News says "We desire to throw
out some reasons for the reunion or The Coun-
ties of Sumter ard Clarendon.
'1st.. The separation of the old district Of
sumter into iva districts, was uuwise, aud has
resulted IN additional expenses to the State,
and heavier taxes to the people,
any sufficient Jail at Manning, and IL would
cost much money to supply them, whilst at
Sumter there are both of sufficient capacity to
accommodate the Two Counties reunited.
I'D. The proposed railroad from Gourdin's
through Manning to Sumter will put all that
portion OF tho County OF Clarendon which
is fartbest from Sumter within one hour Of the
courthouse here. All the upper portion OF
Clarendon ls now as near to Sumter as It is to
Manning, and the residents above Fulton
would prefer coming to Sumter to court, than
golpg to Mapnipg-the roads of that section
being very bad and uncertain.
"4th. The union OF the counties would bring
such additional strength to Sumter as would
enable her to locate bank and factory, TO the
immense advantage OF the people OF both
counties.
''In union there is strength"
