THE SEABOARD BRANCH.

We are pleased to know that the
people of Bishopville approve OF our
suggestion that Sumter and Bishop
vile unite forces 10 work for a Sea-
board Air Line connection This is
not visionary and impractical
scheme, but business proposition
that has strong and lasting arguments
of practical nature to be urged in
its support. In the first place, Sum-
ter and Bishopville and the country
lying between them need branch
road controlled and operated by the
Seaboard Air Line. In the second
place, the Seaboard Air Line needs
the business that the proposed branch
would secure for it The main line

THE BUSINESS LEAGUE.

The tax exemption ordinance has
been safely landed, and the next
thing is to organize the business men
of the city with strong, united and
working body that will bring the fac
tories to Sumter. The initiative has
been taken by Mr.. Altamont Moses,
President of the Board of Trade, who
has called a meeting at the Sumter
Club on Thursday night. Every
business man and all others who are
interested in the development of the
city and are willing to do their share
Of the work that is necessary, should
attend the meeting. By united effort
and systematic work we can build a
city on the foundation that has been
laid, but if the people do not pull to-
gether, if they do not work systemat-
icalIy, nothing can be accomplished.
Therefore, it is necessary for some
organization to be formed to foster
and direct the work Sumter must
be kept prominently before the public
and the advantages that ne possess
in climate. pure water, cheap fuel
railroad facilities, exemption from
taxes, cheap land, cheap timber and
building material and others that it is
needless to mention here, must be
placed before capitalists who are
seeking locations for factories. First
of all, however, and of most import
ance, the people of Sumter must get
together and prove their faith by
their works. It IS true that a great
deal has been done in the past few
years, but we must do more to prove
that Sumter is to be manufacturing
town and by the success of home en-.
terprises attract outside capital.
Right now,Sumter needs roller mill,
another cotton mill, another railroad
to connect with the Seaboard Air
Line, and other enterprises too mum.
erous TO mention There is a great
work to be done and we hope the
meeting Thursday night will resul: in
the organization of Business
League that will have, from the out
set, the working spirit and the
energy and tenacity to carry every
undertaking through to success.

and the best land had been planted 10
oats. The only manure the wheat
received was twenty bushels Of cotton
seed to the acre. Other farmers in
various sections of the county planted
wheat last fail, and all of them are
said to be we'll pleased with the result
of the experiment.. There is no douct
about the ability Of farmers in Sumter
county to raise all the wheat needed for
home consumption. and We hope every
farmer will plabt few acres this fall.
Ten bushels of wheat to the acre is
better than the average cotton crop,
and the farmer will not be forced to
sell wheat at any price be is offered.
He can eat it aud live at home.

veloped Immediately With branch

and prosperous country, and would
have two prosperous towns on its
line The business of Sumter and
Bishopville alone would be consid,
cradle item, but from the country
between the two places, now without
a railroad within convenient distance,
large volume Of business would be
drawn from the day the road was
opened, and with each year the bnsi-
ness would increase, for that section
of the country is developing year by
year, and there is still room for great
Improvement that would follow as a
natural result of. the building of a
railroad through it. We trust the
business men of Bishopville will take
up the matter and agitate it go that
they will have things in shape to CO
operate with Sumter when the move
is made.

PHILADELPHIA OBJECT LES
SON.

Philadelphia is next to New York
the greatest manufacturing city in the
country, and, population considered, it
is ahead of the larger city. There are
mere than 10000 factories in Phila-
delpbia, with an annual production
exceeding $500. 100000 10 value.
These factories pay taxes only upon
their real estate. Philadelphia not
enly exempss the manufacturing plants
for a teru of years, but for sll time.
Factories are encouraged TO locate there
aod it is made to the interest Of the
owners OF factories to remain there and
increase their Investments. It is this
policy that made Philadelphia a great
CITY and enables her to hold the place
that has been Won. II .be South will
adopt o similar policy manufactures
will multiply IL number and grow 10
importance. The South has the natu.
raj advantages and 1t devolves upon
.be people Of the South to create aud
maintain cooditioos that will foster
factories to work up cur raw material
and tu7o out foished products. Raw
material ia generally sold at bare
margin AID often for less than the cost
of production, while tee profit lies in
tae flushed product Tie road to
wealth is through the factory, and if the
South is ever to reap the profit from its
great volume Of raw products she must
bave more factories. The city or State
that has the most factories and turns
t5e greatest amount of raw material
into finished and marketable products
will Inevitably become richer than less

From the Daily Item, aug %.


Florence and Darlington are work
ing together to induce the Seaboard
Air Line to build branch road from
the main line between Cheraw and
Camden to those towns The branch
road would be about thirty miles ip
length, would traverse fine farming
country and would have two of the
most prosperous towns in eastern
South Carolina from which to draw
business. The only thing that can
be said against the proposed road is
that it would for a part of the dis
tance, parallel two divisions of the
Atlantic Coast Line, viz the Cheraw
and Darlington r R and the Harts

that in spite of this there would be
sufficient business to support the new
railroad and pay interest on the in

in interesting the Seaboard in the
plan and will eventually succeed in
having the road built IN this con-
nection we desire to repeat the sug.
