There are now thirty seven convicts
on the chain gang. Of this number
nine are leased from the penitentiary.
With this force of hands and the
teams owned by the county, Chain
Gang Overseer ". A. Tribble is max
ing excellent progress on the clay and
sand road which Supervisor Scale is
having built from the city limits to
the Poor House. The roadway is be-
ing thoroughly graded, then surface
of twelve inches of clay is put down
and on top of this sufficient sand IS
placed to form a hard and compact
road that will neither cut nor wash
when it becomes we'll mixed with the
clay and packed. The work is being
done in careful and substantial man
ner and when completed it will be the
best and most valuable work that has
ever been done in the vicinity Of the city
By the chain gang. Every person who
travels the Bishopville road in COM
ing to this city will be benefited by
the improvement now being made on
this road, and unless the sentiment
in favor of good roads is underestimated
there will be immediate demand for
the improvement of all roads entering
the city and for the extension Of the
clay-sand roadways from the points at
which it is now the plan to discontin-
no the work temporarily. The city
will find it necessary to take up the
work where the chain gang started at
the Mile Branch and continue it on
into the city to the Presbyterian
Church at least. If this is done there
will be two miles or a little more of
first class roadway that is practically
as good as macadam and far less cost
lH Unless the city shall build the
clay roadway from the Mile Branch to
the Presbyterian Church the full
value of the work being done by Su-
pervisor Scale cannot be obtained and
the contrast between the excellent
road Just without the city and the
heavy sandbed just within will be a
constant and unfavorable commentary
on the lack of enterprise on the part
of the people of Sumter.

If the municipal primary is to be
held this year it will be necessary for
the arrangement to be made in the
near future and the City Executive
Committee will be called to meet
within the next ten days or two
weeks.
The nine convicts leased from the
penitentiary in addition to the regular
chain gang force will enable Supervi-
sor Scale to accomplish great deal in
the way of road building and perma-
nent Improvements during the current
year.
Work appears to have stopped on
the installation of the metallic system
of the Sumter Telephone Co. All or
nearly all OF the new poles have been
erected. but the new wires are not be-
ing put up.
The coal dealers have had difficulty
in supplying the demand this winter,
and the itinerant sellers of wood have
had no difficulty in disposing Of all
they have brought to town: but the
people groan. for the wood and coal
bills have been bigger than ever
before.
The reward offered for the capture
of Barlow Warren should stimulate
tae efforts of sherifs, police and de-
cective but from all accounts Warren
is tough customer and the man who
captures him will have to be quick
with his gun.

New York Cotton Aarket.

Corrected daily by I. II. Moses, Cot
ton Merchant, Member N. Y. Cot
ton Exchange. Orders promptly
executed. Sumter. S. C.
The New York cotton market opened
steady at an advance Of 8 50 4 points
this morning, these prices being well
sustained throughout the day. The
shorts weress nervous, and endeavored
to seek cover under every small
decline. There seems to be an active
demand for the spot article. So long
as this continues, prices must advance.
Of course there will be small breaks
in the market, and our advice would
be to buy on these recessions. Market
closed very steady at net advance OF
13 to Is points for the day

The Firemen's Tournament.

Several citizens met last week and
discussed the plan for the proposed
Firemen and Military Week in Sum
ter. The program outlined and the
prizes to be offered are as follows:
Several hose wagon contests, $500
Several hand reel contests, 200
Hitching up contest, 100
Military Prize Drill, 100
Entertainment and advertise
ment fund, 100
Total, $500
It is proposed to have a big Military
Parade and probably a review Of the
military by Gov. Mcsweeney and his
Staff.
Also hose wagon and hand reel
parade; Grand Firemen and Military
Ball; Band Concert at Opera House,
and Grafton by some distinguished
speaker.
It is thought that at least twenty
five hose companies and ten or fifteen
military companies would attend, and
by advertising the proposed gala week
at the Charleston Exposition, great
many Northern and Southern visitors
would take advantage of the opportu-
nifty offered by cheap railroad rates to
visit the interior of the State, and see
the fun at Sumter. Sumter will be
well advertised and a great deal of
cash also left here by fremen and
soldiers and other visitors.
If the other citizens will help with
the cash. the fremen, soldiers and
band will do their part. If every citi-
zen will give a little, Sumter can
creditably entertain crowd for seve-
raj days. And in addition to the
pleasure afforded the people of Sumter,
We can splendidly advertise the city,
and the gala week will be profitable
too.
It is well known that number of
fire companies are desirous Of visiting
Sumter for a Firemen's Tournament,
and a number of military companies
will also attend. 1t is proposed to
hold the Carnival in May next. Who
will lead off in this affair and call a
meeting of the citizens of Sumter !?
