It was quiet but pretty wedding.

SUFFERS PHENOMENAL GROWTH.
FoRCIBLY BROUGHT HOME TO
THE All 4iN1lC COAST LINE.
Great Ia.pr. vtn,ents in the Terminal
f., .:.lrIes to Be Made at
Once

The magnitude of the freight busi-
ness done at Sumter has Influenced
the Atlantic Coast Line authorities to
make immediate arrangements to
facilitate the handling and distribu-
tion of the enormous quantity of
freight that daily arrives in this city.
Accordingly they have purchased a
twelve acre lot of land lying south of
the main line of the A. G. L. from
Mr.. w. NJ Graham. paying for the
same somewhere between $500 and
S400 per acre. This tract of land, to-
gether with a V shaped lot, situated
between the W. G. & A. road and the
Mayesville public road, near their in
tersecsion, will be utilized as q
freight transfer yard: This is GER
tainly substantial indication of the
giant strides that Sumter is taking
along commercial lines, and points
enthusiastically to the fact that our city
is recognized as center of industry
and progress.
s The Item announced several months
ago that plans and surveys were being
made for the laying of a new track,
over which trains would be enabled
to approach the passenger depot head
on, instead of having to back i'm, as is
the present arrangement. These
plans have been perfected, and it will
not be long before work on the new
track will begin.
It's rumoEed that a 215 acre tract Of
land, belonging TO Mrs. S. e. Brand,
lying west Of the freight depot and
extending to the property Of the Sum-
ter Cotton Mill has, also, been pur
chased by the Coast Line for the pur-
pose OF giving more room in the yards.
Sumter has now become distribut-
ing point for freight; and, by reason Of
its splendid geographical situation, a
convenient point. for the transfer and
distribution Of freight to the various
towns in South Carolina; and the
railroad officials are taking steps to
handle this business.

colored, in the stomach with 32-cal-

rested and placed in jail at Bishop

live, but is alive today.
The evidence is that while they were
dancing at about 3 o'clock a. m, Cole
Milron was dancing with Annie Mill
irons. At the end Of the set she went.
to Will Carter and put her arms
around him, which act made Collie
mad. He said he would kill Will and
drew his pistol, but the crowd took his
pistol from him and all made friends.
Will and Cole then went to get some
supper. AS they came back to the
house where the dancing was going
on Cole asked VIII if he had a pistol,
Will told him yes. He asked to let him
see it and SHOT him as soon as he hand
ed it to him. Collie first said Will had
shot himself, but afterward said it was

THE new RAILROAD.
THE TEsEPGRARY SURVEY COM
PLl.1FD TO BETHUNE.
The Success or Failure OF the Enter
prise Now Depends Upon the At
titude s,S Land Owners.

The preliminary survey Of the Sum-
ter & Northern Railroad from this
city via Bishopville to Bethune on
the Seaboard Air Line has been COM
pleted and for the last few days the
engineers have been engaged In riding
ovsr the country between this city and
Bishopville with the view of obtaining
data SO that if it becomes necessary
they may make other preliminary
surveys With the least possible loss OF
time. 1t is thought, however, that
the best and most practicable route
was selected at first. and while it may
be necessary to deviate from the pre-
liminary line to some extent when the
permanent survey is made and the
right OF way located, it is believed
that the road, when built, will follow
the preliminary survey from this city
tosBishopville. After leaving Bishop
vile one of three routes are open, VIZ
10 Bethune, 20 McBee to Cassatt.
Each route has advantages and disad-
yantages and it remains to be deter
mined which has a preponderance OF.
advantages over the othertwo, andwhen
that point shall be settled the line
will be located and the junction point
On the Seaboard Air Line selected.
Nc. effort has yet been made to Sc
cure the rights OF way and the sermi-
mails in this city and Bishopville. but
shis matter will be taken up in the
near futnre; as it is. all things con-
sidered, the vital point OF the entire
enterprise, for upon the attitudesof
the land owners along the line Of the
read, depends the success or failure Of
the undertaking. If she rights Of way
are donated by land owners and 4
the city Of Sumter and the town OF
Bishopviile are liberal and public
spirited IN respect to terminal facil-
ities the Sumter g. Northern is cer-
tainty and will be in operation at an

Deficient Water Pressure Handicapped
the Fire Department.
A FIRE occurred ca the premises Of
Mr.. J. D. Chandler, South Washington
street last Monday the barn and sta
bles being totally destroyed and the
servants house seriously damaged.
The fire originated in the stables, its
origin being unknown, and spread to
the servants house before the fire
department arrived.
The fremen made a good fight, de-
spite the deficient water pressure, and
the servants house was extinguished
before the building was entirely de-
stroyed.
The dwelling house, which was only
a few feet distant from the servants
house, was not damaged at all. The
loss, which will be about $3.50, is COW
cred by insurance.
But for the lack of pressure the
damage would have been much less,
for had there been full pressure the
servants house could have been eX-
tinguished before much damage had
been done by the fire.
