Tfever Flourishing in Hot Weather. Death Bate Still Low. New Orleans, Oct. 1 -To-day was again something of a record breaker io the matter of new eases. They cropped op io all directions, bot op to 6 o'clock the death record ?as still tow. The fever is rapidly spreading in many directions, bot the largest major? ity of cases are proving to be of harmless type. The weather is warm, and the conditions excellent ,for new eases? Bot tbe death percentage bas fallen considerably below the record of 1878. Thc usual care is not cow being taken in diagnosing cases, and it is quite possible that many of the oases that are reported as yellow fever are the result of hurried examinations by physicians. There were 26 new cases. Rich and poor alike have been stricken to-day and the board of health reports seem to show that the best drained and kspt streets are presenting casts as no merously as those which are minos of sanitation. SPREADING IN MOBILE. Mobile, Oct. 1.-The increase in the number of eases continues slow, there being bat seven reported to-day. The Commercial dob bas called a meeting cf citizens for to-morrow to form a relief committee to assist people thrown ont of employment There is much beicg done for the poor, the mayor leading in relieving the eafferers who apply for aid, bat there are many persons who will not apply or who are ignorant of the help that is available. - Dr. Edwards, at St. Elmo, 20 miles sooth of Mobile, on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, reports four suspic? ions cases which he diagnosed as yel? low fever. A suspicions case is re? ported at Grand Bay, on the same line. Health officers have gone to investi? gate these. Mobile hoard of health has issued orders that no person shall move Ont of the infected district into any other part of tho city. It is sough: to prevent ejectment for non payment of rent. RECORD AT EDWARDS. Edw wards, Miss., Oct. 1 -Dr.Dunn of the State board of health to-night gives the Associated Press the follow? ing statement: Ninteen ease? have been reported to-day, of which ll are white and 8 colored. Deaths, cone. Wife of the Murdered Brook? land Officer Dies. There is a sad sequel to the horrible morder of Polieemao John Goss, which was recently committed in Brookland jost across the river, and Hook, tbe mao who eat the policeman's throat from ear to ear, will have to answer at the bar of heaven for the lives of two, instead of one person only. As a re? sult of Hook's fearfol deed three little children have been made orphans and will have to be raised on charity. Thoa has a home which was a most happy one three weeks ago been chang ed. The father and mother are in their graves and the little orphaned children are helpless opon the charity of Augus? ta's good people. The story of tbs sad sequel to tbe morder of Policeman Cross is thus told by the Augusta Chronicle of yester? day : ?.Mrs. John Goss, formely of Brook? land. S. C . is dead. "Mrs. Joho Goss was the widow of Mr. John Goss, the peiioeman who bad his throat eut while trying to arrest a man in Brookland near Columbia, of which killing The Chronicle gave a full account. "Wednesday morning she was strick? en with an acute attack of congestion of the liver, and after several hours of suffering, died at 5:30 o'clock that afternoon. **Ever since her husband's death, Mrs. Goss baa grieved until she had so weakened herself that she had no strength left '*Her funeral will take place at 9 o'clock tbis morning from the residence of Mr. L E Burns. No. 47 Kiogtown. Mrs. Goss leaves three little children, two boys and a girl, whom friends will try and place in the Orphan asylum." And as yet the red-handed murder? er is still a 'arge. He was permitted to mount hie horse and ride away after be committed the deed. It was freely stated that Magistrate Koon did noth? ing to prevent his escape. When tba governor sent'for bim and asked bim about it be stated thal he bad done ' ail be could do, and the matter has rested there. No reward has yet been offered for the capture of Hook, bot tho gov? ernor says be bas oot done so for good and sufficient reasons.-Columbia State, Oct. 2_ Another Question. There is another matter io connec? tion with the establishment of original package agencies about which,., there is likely to be some contention. It in? volves nothing more nor less than the right of an agent to establish several stores in one place. In speaking aboot the matter yester? day Attorney General Barber said that an agent did not have the right to open several original package store" in one place situ ply because he himself was acting as thc duly authorized agent of some liquor concern. The attorney general said that he is considering the situation, and that it may be that the state will make a move soon. In several cities in the s-'ate one agent bas as many as three or f our es? tablishments running. Sanitation of Clemson. A Clear and Convincing Statement. To the Editor of The News and Cou? rter : Io your editorial, September 27, on the -Sanitation of Clemson Col? lege," among other things, you say that "the College is in full operation again with several hundred students and the publia is entitled to know ex actly what has beea done to Insure the institution against a repetition of the disaster that befell it in June " A very grave responsibility rests upon the College officials, not ooly on ac? count of the epidemic which occurred in June, but also the responsibility of seeing to it that nothing of the same kind shall ever ocour again', if pesie ble to avoid it. The board of trustees, regardless of who was to blame for what bas already happened, realised that upon them rested the responsibility of avoiding a repetition of the disaster A commit tee of the State board of health ex pressed its opinion as to the catare cf the disease and the canses which pro? duced it. The College surgeon, who has proven himself to be entitled tc the confidence of all who are familiar with bis treatment of diseases, and other physicacs of high character among the fraternity, and the pedpl* generally, wno were called io and helped to treat the disease, also expressed their opin? ion as to the nature of the disease aod toe causes which produced it. Unfortunately for the board, these that is, the board of health and the surgeon and those who assisted him' differed widely as to the nature of the the disease, and to the causes which produced it. What could the board do under such circumstances ? Not being experts themselves, they determined to heed as far as possible the suggestion of both bodies. After carefully considering the situation and *the difficulties sur? rounding them, they de ter m i Led to chaoge the time of giving vacation from winter to summer, experience hav? ing demonstrated that close application to study aod work through the bot summer months operated injuriously upon the physical condition of many students, aod made them fit subjects for disease. The water closets have been over? hauled aod their capacity enlarged. The sewers have been examioed for errors of construction, and every sus? picious cause corrected. And a^more certain and efficient method of flushing the sewers has been provided. The barracks have been thoroughly renovated ; first, the floors scoured and theo painted, the walls scoured and painted and kalsomioed. A hard cement walk, sloping from the building, bas been put around the entire build? ing, with a cement gutter at the outer edge to carry off the water that may fall upoo it or the water used in wash? ing off the walk. Beneath this cement walk are under drains also. This cement walk beiog intended to prevent the accumulation by absorption of any foul matter around the buildi?g. The beds aod mattresses have been cleaned aod fumigated. Outside, all places where water or dampness oould accumulate have been filled up, dry, hard walks constructed, or are to be constructed, from the barracks to the lecture rooms, shops, etc. Thc conch talked of abandoned ditch has been filled op, and the pits in the bottoms, from where clay to make brick was obtaioed, will be filled op before spriog. All trash upon the grounds cleaned up A iooal board of health bas been ap? pointed, charged with overlooking all private premises and privies, aod with power to remove any other source of danger that might appear. The surgeoo has been vested with' authority to iospeot the dtet in the mess hail, and forbid the use of any particular thine, in bis opinion, best net to be eaten. He is authorized also to see to it that io work and drill due regard shall be had to the health of the students. The sanitary condition of the ?airy has been attended to, and the feed and feed? ing of the cows aod the handling the milk will be particularly attended to. It will be readily seen, at least by those familiar with the College and its surroundings, that the matters enume? rated above oover every condition affecting the health of those attending the College, except such as I will now refer to, and about which the board of health made no suggestion. I refer to the beating system and tbe necessary atteodicg ventilation of the dormitories, which bas become more important by reason of change of vacation from win? ter to sommer. It was io regard to these matters the board principally de? sired the opinion of an experienced sanitary expert. His opinion was also desired as to the correctness and suffi? ciency of the sewerage system, and also if anything further could bo done to in? sure the health of the students. They expect him also to pass cpon the location uf tbe dairy, (the board of health recommended its removal,) and satisfy us whether we should incur the heavy expense of removing it or not The reason the board applied to the marine hospital for an expert was be? cause they believed they could thus secure the opinion of ooe thoroughly conversant with sanitary matter?, and because it was cheaper. In fact the board wished to be informed if any changes were necessary ic the heating, veotilatioQ aod sewerage systems, and further if aoytbiog else could be sog geeted to eeoore tbe health of the atad* eats tbao had already been dooe. Of course mach regret was experi? enced on account, of the delay in mend? ing u> the expert, bat when be does come the board would be pleased to have as many of the members of tbe board of health accompany him as may desire to do so. I have tried to answer your question fraukly and fully. Possibly I may bave overlooked some matter, or maybe Dor answered something as clearly as desired.

Stuckey, Esq., at the request of Clerk of Court Nash, in reference to the collection of the license tax from the Harris Nickel Plate Show. The wbole matter hinges on the construction of the law, which says that every circus or a>?y such traveling.sbww giv? ing exhibitions under tents or outdoors for gain shall pay a license of $100. A3 will be seen by an examination of Mr. Stocker's opinion, he decides that only a circus, in the strictest construction of the terui, can be forced to pay the license. mil . ??.?. -<B Harris Declined to Pay Tax in Ben nettsville and Left Town.

Regular Meeting of County Board of Commissioners. The county Board of Commissioners met Monday in rtgular session and ?ll business that bits accumulated since the last meeeting was taken up aod di-posed of before adjourn? ment. A? outline ct the work of the Board is as follows : After the readily of the minutes cf the last regular meeting:, new business ?nd the reports of committee* were taken up. The Auditing Committee made a report recommending that the committee he discon? tinued, which was agreed to after discussion The Building Committee reported that the work on the Court House had been completed and the job accepted. The hills for the work were audited and the bills ordered paid. Chairman Manning of the committee on chain gao;? submitted a report which WHS discussed at length and received as informa? tion. / Capt. BrownSeld offered a resolution that the chain gang be employed in bridgework until Jannary 1st, 1898, and tben it shculd be reorganized. The resolution was adopted. Permission to erect a telephone line along the public highway from this city to Rose Hill, Manville and Bisbopville was granted to J. Ryttenberg & Sons. Commissioner Harry Ryttenberg was cp pointed a committee of one to confer with the city of Sumter in reference to repairing or pn?tieg down a new pavement on the side? walk in front of the Court House square on Main Street.

Editor Item : The Junior Order United Mechanics has published an article in The Carolin* Patr ot that appears io the October number criticising and finding fault with the action of the Board of School Commissioners of the Sumter Graded School in not allow? ing them to erect a fiag staff with an United States Flag, upon the grounds of the Graded School. They state that the refusal means a lack of appreciation on the part of the Board for "Our Country's Flag" or "Enmity to our Order." I am not authorized to speak for any but mvself, but I feel quite sure tbe'Board was influenced by neither consideration, but acted solely on the ground that the Board WBS charged with a special trust to manage the affairs of the Graded School for the best in? terest of the School. It was considered wisest to keep the school free from all dis? quieting influences and free even from the suspicion that any Order, no matter bow patroitic or benevolent, was specially concern? ed io the affairs of the School. The erection of the Flag would not ia itself be harmful except tbiit it would furnish ?n'excuse to to those who were io any way disati.-fied, carp at the action of the Board. I bad neither knowledge of the member? ship nor prejudice against the principles of the Order, and was inflcced solely by tbe principle that the school should be run asa school for educational purposes ooly, apart from all political influences.

A Murder Case First Taken Up For Trial. Coori convened thi9 morning with Judge Witherspoon presiding He charged the Grand Jury in reference to the general duty of that body and urged the jurymen to per? form their duties faithfully. He referred to impreveaoent that had been made on the Court House and declared that it should be the care of the officials to keep the court room clean aod neat. He took strone grounds against tbe filthy and disgusting bann of spitting on the floor, and annoui.crd that he would endeavor to put a stop to it while presiding at this term. The case of the State vs. Lvmus Williams for murder, was given to the grand jury and a true bill was brought in. The first case brought to trial was that of Henry Carter for murder. The balance of the day and all of Tuesday was taken up with this case. The jory late yesterday afternoon brought in a verdict of guilty with recom? mendation for mercy. B. C.

The help it needs, is to digest your food, and, until it get3 it, you won't hare any peace. Stomach trouble is very distressing, very obstinate, very dangerous. Many of the most dangerous diseases begin with simple indigestion. The reason is that indigestion (not-digestion, not-nourishment) weakens the system and allows disease germs to ettaok it The antidote is Shaker Diges? tive Cordial, strengthening, nourishing, curative. It cures indigestion and renews strength and health. It doe* this by strengthening the stomach, by helping it to digest your food. It nourishes you. Shaker Digestive Cordial is made of nore herbs, plants acd wine, is perfectly harmless and will certainly cure all genuine stomach trou? ble. Sold* by druggists, price 10 cents to SI.OD per bottle.
