The meeting of citizens called by tbe Busi ness League assembled in tbe Court House At 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon aud was organ ized with Dr. Hogbeon in the chair and Mr. A W. Suder as Secretary. Hoa. Altament Moses explained toe object of meeting to be to take into consideration tbe construction of tbe Black River road, and also explained tbe previous action of tbe Business League in relation thereto. Mr G. W. Sancock Btated that tbe open ing of the road would be tbe means of $100, 000 worth of tobacco alone, to say nothing of cotton and other produce being brought to this market. He referred to tbe receipts of tobacco at Manning and Timmoosville and showed tbe prosperity that had resulted from that industry ' He stated that be bad assur ances from tobacco maoufactarere that a fac tory and stemmery would be erected here as soon as the volume of receipts will warrant it, and he is confident that the opening of tbe Black River road will make Sumter the best tobacco market in tbe Sta;e. Sumter has railroad facilities that no other town hand ling tobacco io tbe State has. Mr. A. W. Suder spoke at leogth of the advantages to be secured by tbe construction of the road, and was followed by others on the same line. Mayor Stockey and Mejor Marion Moise also Bpoke upon tbe importance of the road and discussed the plans for raisiog tbe bal ance of the money necessary, in addition to what has already been subscribed, to bave tbe read opened at once. It appeared to be the unanimous sentiment of the meeting that tbe road is a necessity, and that it will prove a good investment to open it at once ; but as the attendance was not as foil as desired, it was decided to ad journ tbe meeting until 12 o'clock today, and a committee was appointed to make a iist of tbe business men of tbe city and notify each ? one of the hour of meeting and request attend ance. Bishopville Defeats Dalzell. The game of base ball at Bishopville on laet Saturday between the Bishopville and Dalzell clubs was a victory for Bishopville.

FIREMEN'S VICTORY CELE BRATED. Great Crowd on the Square?Music, Speeches and Enthusiasm. The people of Sumter of all ages assem bled io a great crowd on tbe monumental square last Wednesday, 6 p. m. for tbe purpose ot giving public testimony of their apprecia tion of tbe firemen of the city and to cele brate the victory they won (a Wilmington over picked squads from the best fire depart ments of the south. j The crowd began to assemble on tbe square ? at 6 o'clock and wben tbe firemen arrived i there were in the neighborhood of a thousand ! persons awaiting them, The procession was formed in front of the j City Hall at 6.45 p. m. in the following order: j Drum Corps, Police Force, Chief of the Fire ; Department, Delgar Squad and Monagban I Hose Company. The hose wagons were handsomely decorated with flowers, bunting and evergreens and the colors of tbe respect ive ?quad3 were used with fine decorative effect and in each wagon there were a num i ber of ladies, who, in tbeir tasteful costumes, added brightness and beauty to tbe occasion. Tbe following young ladies occupied tbe Del gar wagon : Misses Bessie Lee, Lucy Grabara, Seloca Nash, Lydia Lee and Sbarlie Graham ; and in the Monagban wagon were: Mrs. E. . Moee9, Mrs. H. W.

Maj. Marion Moise speaking for tbe people of Sumter presented to each squad a purse of fifty dollars which had been raised by popular subscription as a testimonial from tbe people to the firemen io honor of tbe victory woo in Wilmington. Maj. Moise spoke in bis happiest manner and as the mouthpiece of tbe people of the city expressed to tbe firemen the esteem in wbich they are held by the people and told them how great a pride every ! resident of Sumter feels in each and every ' victory tbe Sumter firemen win. j Maj. H F. Wilson responded for the fire men, and bis speech was filled with a pleas ant humor that was irresistible and with tbe eloquence tba? is hie characteristic.

Bishop Duncan Makes a Spir ited Reply to Senator Till mao, Greenville News, July 21st. somewhat sensational feature oharaoterizad the yesterday morning's session of the Greenville district con ference in St. Pani Methodist ohuroh here Bishop W. W. Duocao publicly resected tbe remarks of Senator Till man as published in The News and Courier that "there is an unholy alli ance in this State of preaobers and bar-keepers led by Colonel Hoyt v Tbe venerablo divine spoke with some feeling and characterized tbe statement as false and said such an assertion was unworthy of anyone especially a United States senator. He for one did not propose to submit to being classed with bar keepers in an onboly alliance and tbe ministers throughout tbe Scats should not. He would now register his protest and demand an explanation from the senator. In politics the action of Bishop Don can would be called "jumping on Beo with both feet," bue when seen after the session of the conference, tbe bishop said to a reporter of Tbe News that he was merely "makiog a protest and oalling oo the senator for an expla nation. v "It was manifestly false and an outrage," said the bishop, bis small, penetratiog eyes flashing as he shook a olenohed f?st. "I always make it a role to nail a lie whenever it comes up, whether it comes from tbe president of the United States or a United States senator, or from anyone else. It is all the more shameful that the statement comes from a United States senator. "Sopposc I were to say, for instance, that the merobaots of this town were in lesgoe with thieves, : he eh token thieves, to rob tbe citizens, don't you suppose ebere would be a mighty protest? Well, there is just as much sense in th? one statement as tbe other. "Look out for the report tomorrow," ooncluded the bishop, "of the temper ance committee Mr. Tillman will probably bear from us again." What Senator Tillman Said. The following are the remarks of Senator Tillman, on the dispensary question, at tho Beooettsville meet ing last week, as reported io tbe State. The balance of his speech, after some preliminary remarks upon hie first appearance io politics at Bennettsville, was a criticism of tbe present campaign and his usual ar raignment of tbe newspapers : "Regulating tbe sale of liquor has been the cause of more trouble than any other problem. If the State has the right to meddle with the sale of whiskey at all it has the right to reg ulate its sale Whiskey is usually drunk where bought?other articles of commerce are taken home. Tbe history of former prohibition contests in this State is that town after town would go 'dry,7 and then would go 'wet* at the next election When a town was dry under prohibition, there was just as much drinking and no reveDue. There were 95.000 votes in 1892 and but 60,000 votes on tbe prohibition question, and tbe erode prohibition question won by 10,000 votes Childs introduced an ironclad bill. The legislatore is al ways a skittish crowd It passed the Childs bill He himself bad taken this bill, bad knocked out some drastic features and inserted the clauses which allowed the State to sell liquor under dispensary regula tions This was passed by tbe sec ate and later by tbe bouse. It was an issue io 1894. (aod was adopted). He himself bad kept tbe constitution al convention from inserting the law in the constitution, body and breech es It was settled in 1896 and again in 1898. How many times must it be settled to be settled ? The people must quit voting for personal prefer ences and settle this issue once and for all. "The prohibitionists are honorable men and led by an honorable man, but they polled but 15,000 votes last time. Charleston voted for prohibi tion in the last election. Are they enforcing prohibition uow ? There is an unholy alliance of preachers and barkeepers led by Col Hoyt, and yet you people vote for their personal preferences You are not fit to vote. (Laughter.) "Marlboroogh is a model county, they say. They have never sold whiskey by law. "Oh, you hypo crises! When I was governor 1 beard of wagons coming down here from North Carolina. Where do you get your liquor? I know you drink it You go down to the depot on Satur day evening and you will find a whole express car loaded with jogs aod demijohns." A Voice: "Well, senator, how will you enforce the law in Charles ton ?" ' Tillman replied that this is a knotty question The constitutional convention in its liberality to Charles ton declared that there should be a true bill by a grand jury before there could be a change of venire. "The grand jury in Charleston will never find a true bill against a bliud tiger and is lying. But if he were governor he would put 50 constables in Charleston and raiee hell on Chicco's street He called upr.i? tbe people to make tbe candidates for tbe legislature de clare themselves over their signature in the county papers, aDd run square ly on the liquor issue. If a man were licensed to sell liquor under constitu tional provisions it would be a failure. He would keep open Sunday, circus days and after sundown, and he would sell as mean liquor as he couid get "Behind tbe prohibitionists come the high license people?Gonzales leading the van?and they are marching against the common foe. "He disclaimed meddling and said he had only given his views for what they were worth " - ? I Insinuaci?n Denounced. The Greenville district conference of tbe M. E. Church, South, adopted tbe following r?solutions submitted by the committee on temperaooe, composed of R. E. Stackhouee, P. F. Kilgo and R. Degnali aod requested che papere of tbe State to publish saroe. Tbe 3d resolutioo ia understood to refer to Seoator Tiilman's charge at Bsnnette ville. "Hence be it resolved : "1st. That we reaffirm it to be tbe duty of tbe church to enforce among its members tbe rule against drinking spirituous liquors exoept io oases of necessity. "2nd. We conceive it to be tbe duty of a Christian citizen to protect the State against tbe demoralizing, home blighting, crime breeding, property destroying drink abuse by using bis influence to restrict its manufacture and sale to medicinal, sacramenti and seien tifio purposes. "3d. We denounce any insinuation that the effort of Christian ministers and other citizens to rid tbe State of this gigantic evil is a sought or voluntary combination with tbe saloon element as a base slander that is itself an attempt to strengthen tbe power of this most damnable iniquity.7' Fever Among the Troops. Habana, July 23.?Yellow fever bas broken J out in the barracks of tbe Seventh United States cavalry and tbe First United States infantry in Picar del Rio. There have been nine deaths during the present month and eleven oases are now under treatment ia the hospitals. Today Gen.

The chief surgeon has received orders to institute a thorough investigation into the eause of the outbreak, and special preparation is being made for a thorough disinfection before tbe First Infantry embarks for the United States. Swelled tbe Collection. A man came up to me one day after service in a frontier town and was pleased to address me in this manner: "Say, parson, that there service and sermon was grand. I wouldn't have missed 'em for ?0."
