300, 900 OF LOCAL CAPITAL
TO BE RAISED.

A number of the most prominent business
men Of this city have been consulting to-
gether for several weeks as TO the best method
of inaugurating a new era Of progress and
prosperity in Sumter. The result of their
consultation and discussion has taken shape
10 a plan to raise one hundred thousand dol
lars on the cooperative monthly payment
system. Every feature Of the plan has been
thoroughly discussed and the active work
Of obtaining subscriptions will be con-
menced next week. Although no canvass
has yet been made, and the movement is
known to but d few, as yet, quite a nunbe
of shares have been asked for By men whose
names will do much TO make the enterprise n
success. When the canvass is begun there is
no doubt but that every share will be placed
in Sumter Coanty.
The capital stock will be divided into one
thousand shares, Of a par value Of one hun
dred dollars each These shares will be paid
for in moathly installments of one dollar
each, in order that men of small means
may take stock aud pay for it without in-
convenience. 1t was by this plan that q
majority of the Charlotte, n. C, cotton mills
were built, which, oy The way, have been and
are among the most successful in TIE South
Al first glance the tlan seems II long and
tedious one, By which TO raise money fo- any
enterprise, but to this objection the success
which has followed every enterprise establish
&c ia this manner is sufficient answer.
The advantages which it has over other
plans recommends it to this section and fits
in so we'll with the existing conditions that
the Disadvantages are rot to be CONSIDERED.
The plan is peculiarly adapted TO y section
thatiis without men Of very large Gu pitsl. ou,
that has a large numoe Of .industrious citi-
zens, who are willing TO assist in develop
ing the resources Of the county by contribu-
ting from their earnings as they are able.
The cooperative installment plan is essen
TALLY fitted 10 a country that would be
com prosperous by s~elf-he'p and growth.
Sumter has within herself all the elements
that by development bring wealth and pros
perity, aud in this enterprise there lies the
germ of the development that so many Of the
citizens have desired. II The beginning OF
better times ;fe.e.y man will do his part
Subscriptions OF one share will be received
and it is to be hoped that there will be q
popular movement from the start.

The Last Gun at Appomattox.

Editor Watchman and Southron: Dear Sir:
I fully concur with an article published in
". d s. OF last week, headed 'The last gun
at Appomattox." Mr Newman is right ir
what he says in regard to the firing of the
two guns. Only he speaks of ";be other
gun," being a IL ID, Napolean, while in
fact it was an 10 10, gun. This know, as
l had the honor of helping to bendle it.
have never been in doubt as to these two
guns, a section Of Gardens "Palmet;o" Bat
tory, having fred the last shots at Appomet-
tex. After we received orders to cease firing,
l have no recollection of having heard the
sound of another gun.
Well do I ~recollect that memorable day,
the 9th, April, 1865. After having marched
night and day for a week, we were marched
through the town of Appomattox,. and told
to place orr guns in position, Oh a slight
eminence beyond the town, This we did by
a hard struggle, the canuoneers placing their
shoulders to the wheels and helping the poor
old broken-down, and starved horses and
mules. But we ''got there y and oh what
a sight was presented in our front. The
whole earth seemed to be covered with Yam
KEGS; but, thanks to q kind Providence, they
did not get neac enough TO open their lnfan-
try FIRE, before the order came to cease bring.
wrote a short article a year or two ago to
the News and Courier, and mentioned these
facts, as to who fred the last shot at Apo
mattox, and | am glad 10 know that there
are living witnesses to verify my statement.
