secure the right-of-way through the
county.
The location of the proposed hotel
on Main street, or Libertv street or
some other street, is undoubtedly Of
great importance to some individuals
but to ninety-Odd 9er cent Of the
people of Sumter and to all the
travelling men, the thing Of first i'm
portance is that hotel Gc built
somewhere in Sumter at an carly day.
In the dissenSiOn over the choice Of
site there is danger that the only
matter Of vital moment will be en-
tirely lost sight Of 1t would be a
happy solution Of the matter if those
who believe that South Main street
is the only proper place for a hotel
would go ahead and build a hotel
where they think it ought TO be. and
those who hold a like opinion as 70
West Liberty street would do like
wise. Sumter is large enough for
two first class hotels, and a majority
Of the travelling men and others with
whom We have discussed the hotel
matter have predicted all along that
another hotel would be built within
short time if the hotel We have
talked about SO much is ever built
not have hotel on account Of dis
sension over the choice of a site, why
not build two? This would afford
double chance of pleasing every
body.

THE COMING OF THE sEABOARD

The Seaboard Air Line is on it's
way To the sea and Sumter has the
opportunity TO become one OF the i'm
portant stations on this great trunk
line over which will pass the rapidly
growing traffic from the west and
north. The proposition. submitted to
the railroad committee OF the Cham
ber of Commerce by Messrs. Bonsa
and Moncure. does not commit them
to the extension OF the road beyond
this city. but there are good and
sufficient reaSons for the conclusion
that the objective OF the road Is
Charleston. IL Is a matter OF COM
mon report that the Seaboard owns
extensive and valuable property on
the water front In Charleston. and
that, for years, the capitalists who
control this system have had their
plans made To carry the road TO the
sea. IL is also well known that the
Ciinchfield corporation has purchas-
ed water front property at Charles
ton and has perfected arrangements
to build extensive coal piers for
handling the output OF the Clinch-
feId mines and delivering IL on board
ship at a minimum cost. Within the
past ten days the fact has been made
public that the Seaboard Air Line
and the Chesapeake and Ohio have

Vile and Lee County and of Sumter
and Sumter county may not become
possessed of the idea that force of
circumstances and the preponder-
ance Of the advantages Of the Bish-
opville-Sumter route will compel the
Seaboard people to adopt this route
whether or not Sumter and Bishop-
Vile lift a finger to comply with
the conditions named by Messrs Bon
sal and Moncure.
The advantage that the coming of
the Seaboard would be to Bishopville
and Sumter and to the counties of
Lee and Sumter is too great and too
apparent TO require any discussion.
The two towns and the Intervening
country need this road and every eff
fort should be made by the people of
the towns and counties to comply
with the conditions laid down by Mr..
Bonsal, if it is found that the con-
ditions are reasonable, when compar-
ed with the direct benefit that the
road will be to the towns and coun-
ties through which the road will pass.

THE HOTEL SITE PROPOSITION.

The dissensions and complications
that have been brought about by the
effort to select a site for the propos-
ed new hotel are most unfortunate
and are sincerely regretted by every
citizen Of Sumter who has the interest
OF the community at heart. and who
feels that there are occasions when
private advantage should be entirely
subordinated to consideration for the
public welfare. The only issue OF
real Importance is that ways and
means be devised to provide Sumter
with a first class hotel. and the ques-
ton OF the location, whether IL be on
South Main street. West Liberty street
or some other street, Is not the over
shadowing issue, as one would be
lead to believe from the vehemence
with which the site question has been
debated. What Sumter needs Is a
hotel. and the only way IL can be
obtained is for the people to work
u
the town Is to be split into factions
and M feeling engendered over the
choice OF a site for a hotel, the harm
that will result will be greater than
the benefit to be derived from the
erection OF a bigger and better hotel
and has been contemplated by the
most sanguine. Unity of purpose.
real public spirit and determination
TO pull together is worth more to a
town of this size and will accomplish
more than any other asset that we
have. II through dissensiOns over
matters OF u,inor importance the unity
Of purpose that has been a marked
characteristic OF sumter for many
years. Is lost. the town will go back
ward instead OF forward. and con-
dition will develop that will divide
the town into contending factions
working one against the other. Meth
sr a hotel. no any other enterprise
representing an investment of a hun-
dred thousand dollars. would repay
the community for the loss of the
spirit Of cooperation that has hereto
fore animated a large majority OF our
citizens whenever any movement for
the betterment OF the town has been
undertaken. 1t IL unfortunate that
the hotel site has become a bone of
contention. and harm has already
been done. and the w!sest and best
policy I'm the circumstances. is for all
TO forget the unpleasantneSs. sink per-
sonal feelings. let bygones be bygones
and make a new start. The interest
Of every man In Sumter Is best pro-
noted by the general prosperity OF the
community. which can be insured by
team work only. and while we are
discussing the pros and cons OF a no
tel site. other things OF greter impor-
tance are being neglected. There are
other uses to which the various sites
advocated for the hotel can be put.
and II the town grows. as we believe
II win. these lots will soon be more
valuable for other purposes than they
now are as prospective hotel sites.
