Sumter Gentlemen IN columbla.

Mayor n. F. Wilson, Dr.. John S. Hugh
W A. Tribb,e, superintendent of streets.
came up from Sumter yesterday and Inspected
the city rock quarry and examined into the
system aud cost Of working the streets here.
They also visited come of the couutry roads,
which they found in good shape.
Mayor Wilson was Impressed With the work
done on Main street beyond the postothce,
and with the work now in progress on Tay-
lor street. This, be says, is the kind of work
which will be dooe in Sumter. However he
was somewhat puzzled to know the cost OF
fixing the streets in this way, as the figures
he obtained from different parties were con-
aictiog. While be wes talking about street
improvements two or three carts were stand-
iog in front of the Columbia hotel being
filled with dirt which had been rsked up in
piles all along the street. he expressed sur.
crise that Main Street had not been worked
as are some of the side streets which are pow
beiog improved.
Sumter bes taken hold of the matter in
earnest. There is 60 abnndans supply OF
rock there as in the vicinity of Columbia.
and the crushed rock will be bought here and
shipped TO thst place. The merchants OF
Sumter will contribute the use ct their
wagons to haul the rock and will aid iu
other ways 10 improving the streets. TIE
city hes Dade appropriation for the heavier
expenses
So, while Mayor Wilson cane to ;nspec,
our system his object will probably be not tc
do as Columbia has done bnt as she ough,
to do o-Tae State.
