What does this mean for Sumter {?
Thirty thousand dollars is the equal
in value of six hundred bales of cot
ton. If six hundred bales of cotton is
brought TO Sumter what does it
mean? Thirty thousand dollars is
more to Sumter than the sale of six
hundred bales of cotton, because the
farmer, when he sells his cotton, car
ries lot of money back home which
he uses to buy from the country r,er-
chant, improve his farm and pay for
his laborers, who trade with coun-

quite an extent at this date is buying
from catalogue houses (not altogeth-
