The Bennetsville Journal says: 1--WE are re-
ljably il formed that large number OF th, rob.

THE CROPS IN SUMTER.
The News saws "We have always said, and
we now here repeat. that the cotton crop OF
Sumter County will be larger than that OF last
year-and we arc not apprehensive that we
will depreciate the price OF cottor-by cor
rect view Of what will be made in our county"
We conclude with this expression Of opinion
th at the cotton crop Of Sumter County will ex-
coed that OF last year, that the price will rule
high, and that the crops OF corn and rice Will
not fall far short OF last years production per
acre. 1t ls tue that we Will make much les
corn than we did last year, tut we planted
much less this year than last. One Of the edi-
tors of this paper has field OF corn which has
not been manured at all. and which has not
received such culture as it should have had;
yet 1t will IN all probability yield ten bushels
per acre, as is estimated by experienced plant
ers who have seen IT"
The Watchman. on the other hand, says that
the cotton crop will not exceed one-halt OF that
of last year, and that the corn ciop will be
less.-Ep. NEws.]

ties OF Sumter aud Clarendon.
list The separation of the old district OF
Sumter into tw) districts. vas unwlse, aud has
resulted IN additional expenses to the State,
and heavier taxes to The people.
"2d There are now neither courthouse nor
any sufficient Jail at Manning, and il would
cost much money to supply them, whilst at
Sumter there are both OF sufficient capacity to
the two counties reunited.
"3d. Ibe proposed railroad from Gourdin's
through Manning to Sumter will put all that
portion of the County OF Clarendon which
is fartheet from Sumter within one hour ofthe
courthouse here. all the upper portion OF
Clarendon is now as near to Sumter as 1t is to
Manning, and the residents above Fulton
would prefer coming to Sumter to court. than
going to MarnIpg-the roads OF that section
being very bad and uncertain.
"4sh. The union Of the counties would bring
such additional strength 10 Sumter as would
enable her to locate bank and factory, to the
immense advantage Of the people of both
