SUMTER NEEDS \ HOTEL.
The Old Jcrvcy House rorn Down and
Everyone Hopes for "A Large
HoStciry

The old Jcrvcy House, NJ Sumter,
which has SO long been m eyc-sorc TO
Sumter people, is being torn down.
Gen. Noise to whom the building be
longs, has not decided what he will do
with the lot. He Will either bn;id
brick stores, II large brick hotel with
all modern improvements, or sell the
lot.
\ new hotel such ~ the city needs
would cost not less than SO, 900, and
unless Gen Noise obtains the co
operation of other moncycd men he
will not invest SO large M amoun: Of
money in II hotel. For years the cry
of Sumter has been for II hotel, with
all modern improvements, such as
would meet the demands Of the travel
ling public, and on several occasions
Sumter Thought She had the hotel, but
tn" visloN has pcr9istcutly vanished.
Now tina; the matter has Doblcd ND in

that there viii something Of matcrinl

But we are calm and sereno in those parts
now. There is no war nor pestilence nor any
great calamity. The land is filed with plenty
and | reckon our people are thankful. Tho
good book says: 'Whcn mans ways please
tho Lord He maketh even his enemies to be at
peace with him." II does look like our encmes
are harmonizing OF la'e moro than at any time
since the war. Tnere ia nobody breathing out
threatenings and slaughter against us now ex-
ccpt Old msn IIoar and he il almost dead.
There was comfort in what Mr. Loouiis, OF Will
kesbarrc, Pa, said when he got back home:
The south has never had chance since tho
war. Stripped baro as bonc-no money, no
annuity no penslons-it is past reason how sho
has cCulo TO the front. Think Of it The gov
vrnment has since the war paid ont in pensions
aion" 81 500, 900 0u0 that staid in the north.
OF this vast sum the south had to pay her part
10; tax aud got hirS. Just give her $780,
0OO,00o az starter AMI in ten years the north
would howl at her progress. Aud we
are compelled to look to tho south for tiuo
American patriotism. They are all Americans
down there with their blood pure throu III
century of American parcutage. 1t is refresh
ing To- run up against whole community OF
pure Americans"
How il that for manly confession from a

was performed on Thursday after

circumstances there would be no
hope. Unfortunately the operation
came too late. A day or two sooner
might have averted an untimely
death. DIR. Laplace was ably assist

the bosses aud city combinations

MIR. Herman was prominent in the
list of independent representatives
OF which Nh Mcuick O. Tioga
County was the recognized leader.
While 1t Is true that the legislature
has done more injury than good to
the rural districts of the state, 1t is
not the fault of the independent re.
publican representatives of the
House. The fearless independents
were too few i'll number to cope with
the magnitude of the ring combi-

Mr.. Herman let himself he heard
on all questions of vital Importance
and we feel safe in saying that he
was as prominent in the workings
of this Legislature us any new
man on the floor of the house. He
has represented the peoples inter
