SEABOARD TRAIN IN SIGHT.
Big Force of Hands at Work i'm the
City.

Friday morning q big force of
hands were set to work on Green
street grading the South Carolina
Western Railway line where they left
off several weeks ago. indicating the
fact that the railroad expects to be
in Sumter at some time in the near
future.
Another indication that the railroa d
Is rapidly approaching town is the
fact that Friday morning the smoke
from the work train and the outline
Of the train itself could be seen from
the line where it enters Green street.
The laying Of the track is now going
on only about mile or so outside of
the city limits and if the line can be
brought On without delay it will be
in town some time the first part of
next week.

Several other bales were sold after
this and the first bale to be ginned
here was raised by j. r. Mayes. By
next week, the market will be in fuu

not dry weather will make the cotton
open rapidly. The yield will doubt

less than usual.
