The action of council was so sadden that it I will entail no inconsidsnble pecuniary loss on your petitioners, and many others who have not signed this petition ; as having so place to send them to they will be com -peged to part with their hogs for a low price, there being no demand for them at this period of th e year. Year petitioners are awar<s of individua! instances of dirty lots resu.ticg from the keeping of hogs in the city. This 3 in your power to remore ; bat there are many tax payers who lire on tbe suburbs, and keep hogs, wbich de not annoy tasir neighbors, as tbey are in iarge lots and there is no filth. Had the action of coancil been such as to gire, warning to those keeping bogs, this petition would never hare been presented, bat it is not difficult fer your honors to see tbs hardship of your action ia passing the ordinance. Hoping to hare your farorable considera tion we are respectfully.

Against suspension, Pardr and Finn. Alderman Delgar suggested tbe adoption of aa ordinance to prerect garbage and trash from being placed on tbe streets later than IO o'clock a. m. Tbe clerk was instructed to prepare an ordinance. The request of Mr. Geo. F. Epperson, pre sented at last regalar meeting, for the ex emption of lirery stables from the operation of the Sunday law, was taken ap. Alder man Finn mored that the request be granted, and bis motion was adopted by the following rote : Aye, Finn, Epperson, Hurst, Delgar ; nay, Flowers and Purdy.

The bills of Gleason k Btiley and others for fire department goods (respirators and expansion rings) for $37 were presented, less bill for $2.50 for shoulder taps for chief of police. On motion of Alderman Flowers payment of these bills was refused on the ground tbat the parchase of the goods was not authorized by council. Alderman Delgar reported that two street lamps bad been put op at the tobacco ware house, and OQ motion of Alderman Flowers the clerk was instructed to furnish 25 gallons of oil fer the lamps. Oo motion of Alderman Finn it was re solved tbat tbs Clerk and Treasurer be re quired to keep a pay roll showing expendi tures for regalar and extraordinary expenses, and to penrally pay laborers in the employ of the city, aod also to prepare and publieh each quarter a condensed statement of tbe expenditures of the city on streets, ditches, fire department, kc. Alderman Hurst presented for the Finance Committee, a statement showing tbe financial cc edition of tbe city, and the necessity of curtailing tbs expenees as much as possible. A deficit of $4,000 was brought orer from last year, wbicb with the regular and extra ordinary expenses of tbe city will aggregate by the end of tbe year something more than $26,006. Tbe total income of the city this year will be less than $24,000. A deficit of $3,000 tbis year is unavoidable, and if there are any further extraordinary expenditures the deficit will be greater. There being no further business the council then adjourned. The Best Remedy For Flux Mr, John Mathias, a well known stock man of Pulaski, Ky., writes : "After euff.-riog for orer a week with flux, and my physician haring failed to relieve me, I was advised to try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, and hare the pleasure of stating tbat the half of one bottle cured me."

The special election to ratify the ordinance exempting factories from city taxes for five jeirs passed off Monday without incident. The vole was light, it being generally known io advance that the voterB of the city were heartily and almost unanimously in favor of thc exemption. Tte polls opened at 8 o'clock and the voters dropped in off and on during the day, several strolling io leisurely after the boxes were closed at 5 o clock. Only 153 ballots were cast, acd of this number 148 were in favor of ratifying the ordinance aod 5 were against it. Two of the No ballots are known to bare been cast by mistake doe to carelessness or absent-mindedness io not examining tbe ballots The property owners and tsxpayers all wish to do everything possible to promete the growth and prosperity of Sumter and they fully realize that factories will do more to improve business, create wealth and in crease the population than anything else. The tax exemption is believed to be a step io the right direction and it is an index of the prevailing sentiment of Sumter people. Alderman A. B Stuckey. A. B. Stuckey, Esq , was elected Monday to SH out the unexpired term of Alderman L S. Carson, who resigned a few weeks ago. Mr. Stuckey had no opposition and he won in a walk, of course. He received 135 votes and there were- 7 scattering ballots in the box. Mr. Stackey is thoroughly identified with the city and be is a valuable addition to the Council. Sumter County Taxable Property.

Mr. Elitor : I will give you an account of a trip Mr. Ex)l and I bad np to the Broun plantation near Wedgefield Oar mission up there was to have a fox chase. We rete in vited by Mr. Wbilden Nettles, who is sap^r intending the place, which is rented by him and Mr. L. B. Jenkins. We were very much disappointed in regard to rainfall, the clouds seem to lie up in that direction. At 4 o'clock we started in our buggies with a supply of rations for onr dogs, and our saddles lashed on our buggies en route for the fox chasing, but to our surprise we found the road very dry and the sand heavy. We arrived there i about 6 o'clock and met with Mr. Netties who welcomed us and dogs Everything seemed to be suffering from best and want of rain, so we stripped our horses of tbeir harness to cool off. Now for the doge. Mr. Nettles proposed to take them down to a spring two or three hundred yards away, which was sanctioned, so their thirst was quenched. We expected to find good seasons op there, bot found it dry as at borne. We expected no chasing of any consequence, but as we were there for that purpose we would make tba best of it. We had bread a plenty along for our dogs and we gave a slight snack to each dog preparatory to the chase. Mr Ball proposed that we go afoot as our party was large. This was agreed to. Mr. Whilden Nettles, aod Thomas and Israel, both last mentioned colored, joining io tbe bunt. Mr. Nettles bad us ali to drink coffee before starting out. Now for the hunt. We did not go fir be fore the dogs struck a trail, and in fifteen minutes had Reynard probably makiog faster time than ever before. And in forty-five minutes, by the watch, the dogs bad stopped his strides, one and a balf miles from the boose. On our return borne we came at least half a mile out of cur way to give our dogs water and to get some ourselves. After reaching the bouse we agreed to take another chase next morning, so we spent the remainder of the night in rest. Arising from our slumbers early ia the morning, we saddled our steeds, gave our dogs a snack and launched out, Mr. Nettles joining ns. Thc dogs struck a trail in a field near tbs house and soon bad him makiog double quick time. And in one hour and ten minutes we had bim ready for the saddle strings. On Monday, August 21st, my six dogs caught a fox in twenty minutes ; it was a young one. The next day Mr. Hudson and I together caught a young one in teri minutes with ten dogs. In the last chase Mr. Hall and I bad ten dogs. Mr Editor you can say to all those who have fine dogs to come and test them. Through all last season we caught forty odd that we got. J. N. Ingram. Privateer, August 23. MAC-A-DAM POETE Y. Between Republican and Liberty Street, Is where all the grandeas generaly meet ; Tbs City has rocked, rolled, and mixed Untill it ia now almost genteely fixed ; But, some grumblers say it is not complete, Until! they paint and varnish, to look neat ; Some want it gilted, and a red light So they can see it when they get tight ; But they will roll it untill Judgement day So tbe rocks are bound to stay ; The Police are notified to look out, And see that the rocks dont turn about ; When you walk that street now, you got to tip toe Hold up your head, and walk very slow ; For those rocks have been so badly mashed. They are always on the look out for another slash ; I hope in one hundred years time To see that street look grand and sublime ; When that awfull big roller will be cast aside, And tbe Ladies can come oct and tnke a ride ; [The above lines came to us through the mail without a line to indicate the author, but as it is a fine specimen of Cooglerian verse, it is published, although anonymous. -Ed J Tbe Cotton Erayage Matter. Daily Item, Aug. 26. Among the locals yesterday attention was called to the fact that the A. C Line had dis continued paying drayage on cotton from public weighers platform oed ouyere had to pay same. If ttiey have they should not. Why ? For many reasons. The A. C. Liue has been solicited repeatedly and requested to put ir. a side track to the Sumter Compress platform, adjoining public platform, the Southern road offering right cf way for same over its territory. The situation we learn is simply this: Whenever cotton is put on compress platform and the press does the compression, no charge is made for loading into cars, but when cotton is loaded from public weigher's platform over compress platform in soft state, that is not compressed, then a charge of 2c a bale is made by the Sumter Compress Company for right to use the compress platform. Any cue has a right to haul cotton that may be at either platform and to state that there is any charge for moving cotton from either platform is un founded and muet seem ridiculous at a glance to any thinking business man. The South ern is perfectly willing to pay the 2c and feels that it is cheaper to do this than to build and maintain a cotton platform. Last year drayage was paid from public weigher's platform and no complaint was made. Why is it made this year ? Volcanic Eruptions. Are grand, but Skin Eruptions rob life of joy.

C , August 29, 1899 During the week ending Aug. 28, the temperature averaged about 5 degrees higher than usual. On nearly every day, up to Saturday, it rose to ot above 100 degrees somewhere io the State,' with a maximum of 102 at Greenwood. There were scattered showers on the 22d, 24th, 25th and 26:h, very partial. On the 27th a general rain fell over the western portion of the State, which continued at intervals throughout Moo day, wheo it covered the eotire State. Hail aod high wiods accompanied the thuoder storm io places. The raia will be of great bsnefit to ail late crops, aod will revive aod assure a large crop of sweet potatoes, and peas for forage, and will help turnips and add materially to the yield of late corn, bot it came too late for cotton and the greater portion of the coro crop The first, aod an almost immediate effect of the rain was to cause cotton to re-begin blooming, but the resulting fruitage will hardly have time to mature. It will, however, cause small bolls to develop, and premature open ing, which was the prevailing condi tion, to cease. These good effects of the rain cannot bring the crop op to much; if any, more than two-thirds of ao average yield, over a "largs portion of the State A few counties will pro dace ao average crop. Mach cottoo opeaed during the week, ana picking was quite active bat was not pushed on accouot of the extreme heat. Rust ioorea8ed and is DOW very general. Boll worms are reported from Barnwell Coaocy. Sea islaod cottoo continues to blight aod shed and is less promising than heretofore. Late corn looks greeo bat bears small ears oo slender stalks. The recent raia will help to fill oat the grain oo the ears. Fodder about all palled from eariy coro. Tobacco catting and caring is nearly finished except in some of the western counties where this crop is beieg culti vated for the first time, aod where it has oot quite reached maturity. Rice is beiog harvested rapidly, and the precaution is beiog taken to stack it cn high grouod to avoid possible floodiog. Uplaod rice bas cot improv ed aod continues unpromising. Army worms are traveling westward i and have appeared io two westero coun ties heretofore free from them this year. Grass for hay is a short crop, but ic is cot too late for it to improve. Peas, peanuts, sorghum, sugar cane and sweet potatoes average a poor condi tion, but have not advanced towards maturity so far but that good weather will cause great improvement.

Last Dight Constable J J. Roach of Magistrate Smith's court, who was sent lo the up country to arrest Col. W. A. Neal, former superintendent of the state penitentiary, and bring Mm here, returned to the city with Col. Neal in his custody. Col Neal was arrested on the warrant sworn cut by Attorney General Bellinger, charging him with failure to turn over public funds to his successor. It ie understood that there will be other warrants in the matter before many more days. Col. Neal was away from home, up at Pickens. Constable Roach went to Pickens after him and served the warrant and Col Neal came with him without complaint. He was not expecting arrest and had no opportu nity of communicating with his at torneys or of securing bondsmen in advance of his arrival On arriv ing in Columbia Col. Neal was at once taken to Magistrate Smith's office. The magistrate was there awaiting his coming. Attorney General Bellinger was at boee Col. Neal asked time to secure Col. P. H. Nelson to represent him, and Col. Nelson was sent for. When he ar rived he communicated with Mr. Bellinger and obtained his consent to aliow Col Neal to spend the night at the hotel in the custody of the constable, if the magistrate would allow it. This was done cn account of the lateness of the hour and the impossibility of securing the bond under several hours Accordingly it was agreed that the preliminary hearing shouid take place at 10 o'clock this morning thus giving Col. Neal time to arrange [for bis bonds men. Col. Neal spent the night at the Hotel Jerome with Constable Roach. Neither Col. Neal nor his counsel had anything to say save that they expected to waive a preliminary examination upon any charges that might be preferred, and give what ever bond was demanded for the ex superintendent's appearance at the next term of the court of general sessions. Col. Neal was somewhat wearied last Dight by his long trip on the train, but otherwise seemed in good health and spirits -Columbia State, Aug. 30. Barn berg Magistrates Kicked Out. Governor Mcsweeney Takes Prompt Action in the Wil liams Case. Columbia, Aug. 30.-Gov. Mc Sweeney yesterday received the official report of Solicitor Sawyer, who was sent to Bamberg to investi gate the G. W. M. Williams extra dition trouble. The report was ac companied by many affidavits, all of which throw much light on the affair that has caused much discussion in two States Mr Sawyer's report was at once made public, as the solicitor was sent by the governor to make an official investigation. Last night Gov McSweeney, after reading the solicitor's report aud the accompanying affidavits carefully, de cided to remove both the magistrates -Ray at Denmark and Kennedy at Govan. He forwarded to each of them the following letter : Columbia, Aug. 29, 1899. Dear Sir : From official information received by me I am satisfied of your official misconduct in the matter of extradition of G W. M. Williams, and your commission as magistrate is hereby revoked, to take effect from this date You will turn over all books and papers in your possession belonging to your office to your sue cessor when he shall call on you for the same Yours truly, M. B. McSweeney, Governor of South Carolina. The governor filed with the papers the following written statement of reasons for his action : In view of the report of Solicitor Sawyer and the statement therein contained and th? evidence furnished by the affidavits accompanying the report in regard to the action of Magistrates S. G. Ray and rV\ L Kennedy appears that said magis trates, instead of endeavoring to assist the agent of Georgia in his efforts to arrest G. W. M. Williams, a fugitive from justice in that State, and for whom the said agent had requisition papers from Ihe governor of South Carolina, made in due form of law, tue magistrates, as ii appears from the report of Solicitor Sawyer, assisted the said Williams to escape arrest, and thus ioe ends of justice have been thwarted. Such being the case, I do not consider these magistrates worthy to hold the high and responsible position of magis trate, and they are hereby removed from their office, said removal to take effect from this date.
