A fifty room hotel with all the modern lm'
p.ovemeuts and conveniences and comforts
would bea good thing for Sumter. 1t is re-
ported that few progressive business men
have the matter uuder consideration and may
decide to put some of their money 10 the
enterprise.
FERN work has been almost at stands.ill
for more than two weeks, and the farmers
are complaining that less has been accom-.
plished in the way of preparation for the

time of the yeaT.

The Sumter l. Wateyee railroad will be
completed within the uex. ninety days and
will be ready to handle it's share OF the cotton
crop. This is certainty, and it is time for
something definite to be heard concerning the
cotton compress which was to be built, it
was stated sore months ago, as SOON as the
new railroad ehould be assured. A compress
would give the local cotton narket the big
gess sor, of boom and would thereby ben
eft business, CONSEQUENTLY all who are inter-
asted 10 Sumter are anxious to hear of some
movement to get the compress ueder way.
