Cedar Springs.

S Mr.. J. T. O'Neal is going ahead
in earnest to.make these springs a
pleasant place of resort, and will
have the grounds in fine shape when
the season opens. He has large
force of hands now at work cutting
away the underground and will lay
cut the grounds in an attractive
manner. The lumber is being haul
ed for the bath house and work on
the building will commence this
week. The next thing now is a
good road, and the county chain
gang will DO some work on it short
". Mr.. O'Neal will also have a por-
tion of the road repaired at his own
expense. He is showing commend
able enterprise in this work, and

subscription. assist in building a
good roa,l and bicycle path from
Bamberg to the springs.

Practical Sympathy.

Some days ago Mr.. S. E. Shaw
and four of his children were bitten
by mad dog in Sumter county.
MIR. Shaw was bitten in attempting
to rescue his children. The citizens
of the city of Sumter, knowing that
MIR. Shaw was not able to bear the
expenses of trip to New York, inn
mediately raised subscription of
$4OO to defray the expenses of
trip to Pasteur institute. This is
practical sympathy and is only an
other evidence that there are nc
better people anywhere than in
Sumter.

Dogs.

The mad dog scare is on in many
parts of the State, and it would be a
wise thing for our city council to
rigidly enforce their dog laws. Bam-
berg has entirely too many dogs in
its corporate limits, although many
of them went the way of all flesh
during the crusade against them a
few months ago. Much good re-
suited from the action of city coun-
ell then; let them take up the matter
again in the same way and they will
earn the gratitude of our citizens
generally.
