Yesterday Capt. .1. A. Cobb,
commissioner for this district for
the New Orleans Kxpositton, was
m our office telling us about the
meeting in Atlanta last week of
the commissioners of the stale.
Capt. Cobb says that out ol the
ten commissioners appointed in
this State, not one of them bnt
himself returned an actual uncon
ditional subscription for tho pur
pose of making a State display.
He presented a subscription of
1*00, raised in Sumter .county by
the county commissioner, Mr. M.'
B. Council, who was untiring in
his work to have Sumter do her
share. Had the other counties done
one half as well as Sumter, Ueorgiu
would have madeafine display,
r-It is gratifying to Uic Kicorueb
to know that Americas, add Sum-
tor county did her ((art of the
work so well. Cupt. Cobb has
worked very hard for success in
his district, and in this county Mr.
Council has ably seconded his

The County Commisaioneta.
The County Commissioners of
Sumter eounty met Monday morn-
iug dud transacted their usual rou-
tine of busiuess. As many as a
half dozen appeals tor help from
poor people were before them.
This is one great bunlen on the
county, and so far the commission
ers have been uiinblo to do any
thing hut submit to these demands.
It is impossible to send them to
the poor house, as they arc only
aided leuiiiorarily.
Another great aunoyanee to tlie
commissioners is the county
bridges. Bridges are numerous in
this seotion, and for some reason
they are always falling down, or
washing away, or some other dire
calamity is happening to them, so
the commissioner* are constantly
kept in hot water in regard to
them.
The usual number of bills were
paid, with a groan from the com- *
mtsaioners.
Mr. *T. B. C. McCarty was elect-
ed keeper of the poor house for
another year. The pour house
now has 14 inmates.
