City Council held a regular meeting Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mayor Stuckey was absent, and Mayor pro tern Hurst presided. Aldermen Boyle, Chandler, Dick and G. F. Ep person were present. Minutes-of the 13th instant were read and confirmed. The clerk presented a copy of the lease of the buildings formerly occupi ed by the Sumter Tobacco Warehouse Co. to Mr. J. W. MeKeiver, and same was approved, except that it was decid ed to require the lessee to pay any in crease of insurance rates which may resuft from the nature of the business he will conduct in said buildings.

The cotton year closed on Saturday, and from Public Weigher S. Y. Del gar a statement of the total receipts of this market for the cotton year 1901-02 has been obtained. Total receipts from September 1, 1901, to September 1, 1902, 22,124. Total receipts new crop, 1,546; total receipts last year, crop 1901, 20,581. The receipts last week were 1,100. The croo last year was short and the receipts, as compared with several years previous, show a decided fail ing off, but not as much as the short crop warranted. This market held up prices last sea son and cotton was worth more money in Sumter than in any other town in this section of the State, consequently this market drew cotton from the ter ritory of other markets and the re ceipts do not show the falling off one would naturally have expected. The season has opened well this year, prices are high, relatively to the condition of the world's markets, and the prospect is bright for largely in creased receipts for the year 1902-03. Cotton Market. Beceipts heavy for early part of week, market fairly steady. Middling S^aS^? Pisgah News Notes. The cotton is nearly all open here. Picking is going forward as fast as possible, and by the 20th of Sept. the crop will be about out and sold. The yield to the acre is about what it was last year. Protracted meetings have been go ing on for s?me time. Rev. Mr. Thacker had a very interesting one at Smithville. There were eighteen ad ditions to the church. He was assist ed by several ministers. Last week he aided pastor Smith . in a meeting at McLeod's church. The State primary shows some sur ?rises. One notable one the indepen ence of the voters. The defeat of MfMah a is to be regretted. His suc cessor will make no better, if as good an officer. Capt. Heyward's vote is a fine tribute to him as a man as he had no political record to be judged by. Talbert's record is one that any man can be proud of. As superintendent of the penitentiary he made a model one. As Congressman he had no supe rior from the South. He soon taught the republicans some lessons that they will cot soon forget. Either man will make a good Governor, and it is only a matter of personal like or choice. Was Senator Tillman's saying that Evans and Latimer always supported him, the reason they came out ah?ad, or was it a factional preference. You know the four gentlemen who are defeated in the primary, are all able men. Either vould make a good Senator. There is too much indiffer ence in politics. Men do not value their franchise as they should. It is the duty of all men to vote. Betting on elections, and other things have got to be a disgrace to our country. The newspapers are full of "guesses," on different subjects which is nothing less than gambling indi rectly. It is sapping tbe foundation of our citizenship. I cannot see how a man of respectability can gamble or bet. It is wrong and the press should con demn it in no gentle words. Pisgah, S. C, Sept. 1. OPENING OF THE THEATRICAL SEASON. The Telephone Girl The FPrst Attraction This Season, "The Telephone Girl," a New York Casino gem set to the daintiest music, the score of Gustave Kerker, that wizard of the baton, the book by Hugh Morton, who has written more suc cesses for metropolitan audiences than any other playwright, wilil be seen at the Opera House Sept. 9th. It is all tastes and therein lies its con tinued popularity. It is me of the jolliest, most irresistibly com ical and unique entertainments at present on the boards and con sidering that this is the fourth season, a thing of perpetual joy. Joe Kane, who enacts the principal role, Hans Nix, an eccentric German, is one of the most graceful of the young come dians and won favorable comment for his work as the '. polite lunatic* in "The Belle of New York" in the New York and road productions, is a host in himself. Audiences laugh heartily over his indescribable dialect, and his original humor. Edith Valmaseda, who is the Estelle, is one of the most accomplished and beautiful art ists on the stage : James S. Devlin and Pearl Be vare, the dancing wonders, have important roles. Mamie Keogh, the dainty comedienne ; George Ebner, the talented comedian; Alf Holt, the world's greatest mimic, Jethro Warn er, Milton Dawson, Ruby Marion, Ruth Jordan, Lillian Bernard, Maud Courtnet, are described as being par ticularly well fitted to thei.r respective roles. The play is in two acts, like the majority : of musical comedies, and there is not a moment' for ennui in either. Rapidity of movement is striven for from start to the final curtain. Executive Committee Meeting. The county Democratic executive committee met in the Court House last Thursday at 12 o'clock, wit?r-a quorum present, ' and immediately proceeded to tabulate the returns of the primary election held on Tuesday.

Chandler's fall announcement in today's issue con tains a good deal about school suits. There is no better place than Chand ler's for up-to-date styles in boys cleaning at reasonable prices. mf The mail carriers reported for duty at the postoffice* Monday morning and made the first delivery of the morning marl. W. T. A ndrews having declined the appointment as one of the carriers, W. D. Shaw, the substitute went on duty and will serve until e regular carrier shall be appointed. It is prob able that he will receive the appoint ment as he is in the line of promotion. It will be several days before the sys tem will be working smothly, but the carriers will soon become familiar with their duties, and the service will be prompt and efficient. The fall term of the Sumter School of Music will begin Sept. 29tb, 1902. The school will have three (3) monitresses (young ladies specially trained for the work) to practice daily with all the children and beginners. This is a very great advantage, being equivalent to a lesson every day. Under the watch-care and assistance of a monitress the pupil cannot in any way neglect her practice.
