SUMTER SELLS MORE BONDS
Tho County Commissioners Decide to
Issue Another $4,000 Series For
the Benefit Of Road Work.

Sumter. - The county commission
ers have decided to issue another
$4,000 series of road improvement
bonds. A couple of years ago $4,000
in bonds was voted, with the provi-
sion that II was to be issued Ia Sc
ries Of $4,000; that two series could
not be issued In the same year and
that the proceeds Of one issue must
be expended before another series
was issued. One series was issued
and has been gradually used. A re-
cent session Of the grand jury COM
mended the use to which 1t had been
put, and the results from IT, and rec
commended a continuance Of the road
work, with another issue II necessary.
The roads OF Sumter county are
being gradually improved and put
into condition to meet the increased
use which comes with each year. The
roads OF course do not compare with
the roads of some Of the Northern
states, but they are all the time get
ting better. This is easily atteste6
by any farmer who trots his horse
in a few hours over the same roads
over which some years ago he had to
toll all day in the heavy sand.

Soon to Start Work on G. & K.

From an official source 1t ls learn.
ed that the work Of extension on the
Greenville & Knoxville railway will
begin within the next 80 days. With
in the past week engineers have com.
pleted the survey from Davenport to
Gap Creek Gap, a distance Of twelve
miles. This gap Is at the top of the
Sahda Ridge, and the route laid out
by the engineers on a grade OF 6S
feet to the mile. This is considered
a remarkably low grade for a noun
tain road and is an agreeable surprise
to the promoters. The Gap Creek
route is the lowest route across the
Blue Ridge mountains between Rich
mond and Atlanta. Recent develop
