1t is to be regretted that there is q
tendency in Sumter to make the build
ing lots smaller and smaller each year.
The population has more than duu-
bled within the last dozen years, but
the area of the built up portion has
not increased more than twenty five
or thirty per cent. Houses have been
crowded in until there are few vacant
lots. left A lot that wss considered ten
years ago too small for one residence
is now thought amply large for two.
This tendency toward congestion of
population in small arsa is not to be
desired. There is TOO much farming
land within mile and half of the court
house for it to be nece. sary fer people
to make their homes On 5nirty or forty
foot lots. Sumter will be prettier
and healthier town if it spreads cut as
thepopuIation increases. Sumter has not
vet reached the skyscraper or tenement
house stage and there is no nse IN fos-
tering the idea that everybody must
live within a certain circumscr1Deo
area. It is easy to spread out and
make bigger town, it the populaslon
oyerflows the town limits.

Davis is young white man who
lives in the Nazareth section of this
county and who. it is said, was recent

of the good womec of that commun nifty.
The letter TO the governor, SO the
story goes, was turned over to the
chief constable aud Perry was detailed
to s'catch the tiger. I"
Yesterday there was picnic at Mt.
Willing, and Davis was there with his
contraoand goods. Perry laid his
plans we'll and there is said to be no
doubt of positive proof of bis guilr.
The constable came at once to Saluda,
swore out warrant and it has been
placed in the hands of the sheriff.
That officer went to arrest Davis. 1t
remains to be seen whether Davis
is caught.
There is lot of work in this county
that the corstabulary might do if re-
ports be true. Ia fact there has been
a lot of work all along that might
