In the Old Seventeenth District. Sumter
County.
^ cry many persons in our own county
are entirely ignorant of the fertility and
beauty of this charming portion of our
county, and the excellent husbandry of
the citizens. I am sure I was until re
cently, when I had occasion to make a
visit to this section. Every crop I saw
was unmistakably promising. I mention
those of J. M. Bird, M. I Logan, the
Davidson Bros., John E. Thomas, Ed
Zimmerman and Henry Williams.
Besides these there were others wor
thy of note.
Mr. Bird has oa hand now fifty bales
of old cotton, 1,000 bushels of last year’s
corn and 1,000 bushels of new oats. I
saw many acres, of cotton that lam
sure will make a bale to the acre, hav
ing already three-fourths of a bale on
the crop.
The corn was simply magnificent, and
will easily run from fifteen to forty
bushels to the acre. The old seventeenth
is booming, and will rank with the best
in the county or state.
I found the irrepressible Capt. Jim
Ross working vigorously to preparb an
exhibit for Sumter county at the ap
proaching state fair. On this line the
captain knows no such word as fail, and
judging from what I saw on his farm I
am confident ho will surpass all bis
former displays. It is to bo regretted
he is not more liberally aided by his
fellow citizens and neighbors in his per
sistent endeavors to bold up the name
and reputation of old Sumter.
By the way, I could not, whilo looking
on the glovious prospects of the farmers,
repress the thought that there was no
necessity, at least in the old seventeenth,
for any complaints about hard times.

A Correction.
In an article yesterday, the statements
of which were given to The Times-Re-
cobdeh by a gentleman from Richland
who was an eye witness of the occur
rence, an error was made, in that it was
said that the rules of the S., A. & M.
railroad conflicted will the municipal
regulations of Richland, whereby the
engineer was fined for blowing his whis
tle inside the limits of that town. From
the officials of the S., A. & M. railroad
the information is obtained that the
rules of railroads ou this subject are fixed
by the state law, which, while provid
ing for engineers blow’ing signals at all
posts on the lines, specially excepts the
ncorporated cities and towns, and pro
vides for ringing engine bells instead.
A special rule of the 8. A. & M. rail
road provides that tho whistle shall not
be blown within tho corporate limits of
Americus, Cordeleand Richland, and the
engineer in question was really acting,
it is claimed, in violation of tho rules of
the road instead of in accordance with
them, when lie blew the bla^s which re
sulted in his being fined $25.
It is claimed by the mayor of Richland
that the tine was not excessive, in view
of the fact that the city authorities were
defied, and that ho was urged by many
to make the lino *75 or $100, tho full
limit allowed, because of tho course pur
sued by the cngiucer.
Whatever bo tho result of the contro
versy between the authorities of|Kichland
and tho engineer, upon which The
TiMES-llEcoimEit does not propose to
pass judgment, it is proper to stato tlu\t
the railroad is in no wise # responsible for
what occurred by virtuo of any rule
compelling the blowing of signals.

Correction.
In our issue of yesterday an error
occurred in the article descriptive of
Col. C. C. Clay’s [plantation. One para
graph reads as follows: “He has 1,000
acres in cotton, from which lie will get
500 bales. Two hundred acres of that,
according to the opinion of expert cot
ton men, will go over 200 bales.”
The first lines should have read: “He
has 1,000 acres in cotton, from which he
will get 500 bales.” Not “1,000” acres,
etc.
For a pleasant shave go to Dr. El!
