Local News. WEDNESDAY, .H'I.Y !', 1U02. Important Maliers Before Council. At a regular monthly meeting of the City Council hold Tuesday afternoon ot last week two very important mat ters were brought bet?re that body; one on the subject ot appropriating funds tor the erection of an additional Graded School building, and the other pertaining to telephone interests. The committee from the Hoard of Trustees pointed out to Coun cil the necessity lor an addi tional building and signified that $10,000 or !?12,000 would be necessary. The Council adopted a resolution con senting to the purchase of a lot, indi cating ?2,000 or $2,000 as the amount to be paid for it, and appointed three members of the Council?Y. Brown, C. 1). Sullivan and II. C. Townsend? to act in concert with Messrs. J. M. Sullivan, John C. Watkins au<l Super intendent T. C. Walton, committee from the Hoard of Trustees, in viewing and obtaining options ou lots and re port back for final action by the Coun cil at a meeting to be nil led a- soon as the committee was ready to rcpo't. It was <iiiit?- evident by remarks made in the Council meeting that a brick structure, an ornament to the city, will be erected, but no action was taken as to the building; this will be discussed at the call inci ting when the joint committee reports on lots. This committee has given evidence of considerable activity since appoint ment ami definite action is confidently looked for this week. .Many bits have been looked at and options secured on several of them. Here are some ot the lots being considered: Lots ot II. Ii. Watkins ou Greenville St., ol W.?. Hai ley on Greenville St., of L)r, Packet on Last Houndary St., of M. M. Matti M>n, near Dr. Ducket's, of James M. I'ayne on Calhottn St., of the Sullivan brothers on East Houndary, known as the Hair woods, of J. L. SleGeo on Calhouu St., opposite the .J. M. Payne lot; two lots of It. S. Ligon on - St., lot near the First Baptist Church, owned by Mr. Hubert Pruitt; the Johnson 1-emale University piopcrty. owned by Capt. J. M..Pat rick, and Home few others. The com mittee will finish its work this week and the lot will probably be boughi by the Council, but it is not altogether certain that this present Council, whose terms expire next month, will make i ie needed appropriation lor the build ?>>_'. It is known that a few ot the ;i cil prefer In turn this part of it co the new Council. is-till the Anderson Telephone Com liaii'y and the Southern Hell Telephone and Telegraph Company were befoie the Council by their representatives. There was something in the attitude of these two companies toward oneaiiother that was puzzling to the reporter and doubtless to some if not all of the Council. Both were asking an adop tion of an ordinance identical iu terms and language which gave each an in dividual, though not exclusive, fran chise; yet, the Anderson Company iu remarks to Council stated that they wanted to be put in a position to close a contract with the Hell people to use the Hell system of phones and the long distance system the Hell people had established. After the Anderson Com pany had beeu beard and withdrew, the Hell Co. representative asked for the adoption of an ordinance iu lan guage aud terms identical with the one asked for by the Anderson Company, but there was no reference made to the Anderson Company, indeed, the ordinance asked by the Anderson Co. did not refer to the Hell Co. It was only by remarks of the Anderson Co. that Council was made aware that a deal between them was contemplated. Had the ordinances naked beeu granted to each, the efleet would have been to let both companies into the city on equal terms, but altogether independent of each other. Hut there we're graver reasons than these for declining both. The ordi nance now regulating the telephone system jixes the rates to be charged, and is carefully framed with a view to protecting the interests of the people. The ordinances asked for leave the matter of rates entirely open and to the will of the Company, make no guarantees, promise obedience onlv to ordinances regulating the placing of poles on the streets aud close by asking a repeal of tho present telephone ordi nance. They claim to have made no money and ask to have all restraint removed. They promise a greatly improved ser vice and to put in a metal system, which means that two wires instead of one wire go to each phone. At present ouly one wire goes to each phone, the complete electric circuit being made by connection with one common return wire, which is the bottom wire on the poles in this city. Hoth companies were turned out of court, so to speak, and told to get to gether and agree on somethiug the Council could consider. The point which concerns all the business houses In Anderson is that a fixed rate, similar to telegraph rates, is sought to be fixed for all communica tions outside tho city limits, which will bo in addition to vearly subscription price, and which will, in effect, force all business houses here who have cus tomers in adjacent towns to pay all telephone charges for communications and deals with out-of-town customers. A largo majority of the families iu Auderson have phones and all are in terested in tho position to bo taken bv Council iu this matter. Since writing the above the joint committee reported favorably on the Sullivan lot, 2* acres, corner of East Boundary aud Calhottn street, known as part uf the Harr woods, price ?2,200 which was approved by the Council'. XSo action wa? taken by Council as to the building. The Barton Schaidt WeMftftf This took plac? nt Iho parsonage of J tvii kvaugelical Lutheran Church, j TValhalln, s. c. June 20th, 1003, at <ibOt:rt two o'clock p. m. It was an im pressive scene. Among the decora tions the sprinkling .>[' ferns over the curtains wus especially neat and effec tive.

For a number of years past the anni versary of the Nation's birth bas been most appropriately celebrated at Pel zer, and the occasion this yoni was no exception to the rule. Last Friday was the "Glorious Fourth," and the I'elzer Athletic Association had ar ranged a most interesting program for the occasion, every detail of. which was carried out with big success. There weie special trains from Greenville, Greenwood, Abbeville and Anderson, and they carried large crowds from these places and nil intervening sta tions. The crowd in attendance was estimated at 10.000, and the best of or der prevailed throughout the day. The reunion of the Confederate Veterans of upper Carolina was one of the most enjoyable features of the day. There were more than live hundred of them present and many old lime friend ships were, renewed. Companies A, H and C, of the First South Carolina Infantry, the tirst from Greenville, the second from Greenwood and the latter from Pelzer, were present. The exorcises of the day started oil' with a grand parade of tho Veterans and the three military companies, led by the Smyth Concert Band through the principal streets to the beautiful park where the crowd congregated. The program for the morning con sisted of base ball, bicycle races, foot races, competitive drill and individual drill by the militia and a sham battle. A battery of artillery, manned by Vet erans, participated iu the battle. In the competitive drills the Greenville Fight Infantry won the tirst prize and the Symth Hides the second. Iu the individual drill J. II. Parkins won the Hegimentnl prize aud John Flynn was awarded the medal as the nest drilled man in the Smyth Pities. These prizes were delivered by Hon. G. E. Prince iu an eloquent and* appropriate speech. At 1 o'clock the Veterans, tho mili tary compauies and a few invited friends were escorted to a shaded grove where they were served with a most sumptuous bnrbecued dinner as guests of the Athletic Association. In the afternoon at the park there was some tine horse races, bicycle rnce.u. aud a game of ball between rei zer and Williamston teams, the latter winning by a score of 12 to 8. Notwithstanding the extreme heat, the pleasures of tho day thioughout were most enjoyable, aud we congratu late the Association on the big success that crowned its efforts.

Last Mon- ay eve ning it was our good fortune to attend the public installa tion of oflicers and participate in a ban quet given by Generostee Tribe, No. Improved Order of Ked Men, at their Wigwam in Orrville, and to say that the occasion was most interesting and enjoyable but mildly expresses it. The occasion was honored with the presence of J. H. Hair, of Ne wherry.

The feast was a most excellent one. and the committee and their fair assistants saw that everv one had their appetites more than satisfied.
