The use of kerosene for street
sprinkling will be commenced in an
experimental way in Columbia this
week. and if it proves as satisfactory q
preventive Of dust as it has in many
other places, it will be generally used
in that city as a substitute for water.
The use Of oil on the streets of Sumter
has been discussed for several years,
but the discussion has never led to a
practical test, although great many
people are satisfied that oil would
prove in the long run not only more
satisfactory but more economical than
water. 1t would not be expensive to
make test of the oil on the macad-
amized portion of Main street, and if
the City Council will not make the
experiment the merchants on Main
Street could at very little expense pro-
vide the oil and have the test made
themselves. If they could free Main
Street of dust by using oil instead of
water the outlay would be a good in
yestment. 1t is estimated that about
six barrels Of oil will sprinkle a block

men'' sent you? Please, for goodness

about Sumter live. Bet a dollar and
half (on tirne) agin cent and a
half (cash) that they are two might
y disappointed people that you didn't
mention their names, or ssthen they're
ashamed to exhibit their bloomin'
variegated cotton patch.
Well, we a'int so modest, and here
with enclose you precious faded How

home place and now planted by Mr..
John T. Talon, to whom credit is
due for clean and fine crop in the
circumstances and under present con-
ditions. Master George Reid, of
Reid's Mill, also has cotton blooming.
We might send you whole posy; but

Crops on this stretch Of Black river,

Telephone Connection With Florence

Something was said in Mondays
Item about the line to Florence being
down and there being no telephone
connection with that place. The
Sumter Telephone Co., wishes it to be
understood that the part of the line
owned by it is up and in working or
der. The manager had occasion to
ride over the line on Saturday and
found it all right. The line beyond
sLynche's River is controlled by the
South Carolina Long Distance Tele-
dent of that company: said recently
that he did not intend keeping up
that line in the future and that com
munication with Florence and other
towns controlled by his company would
have to be over the lines now being
constructed to connect with the S. G..
=Company's system at Camden.
