ers, and law-abiding citizens ot the City of
Sumter, do hereby respectfully petition your
honorable body to extend the time for the
removal of the hogs from th city until the
31st day of December, inclusive.
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.

Tbe matter was discussed at length. On
motion of Alderman 'durst the ordinance was
suspended unjil November 15th by the fol
lowing rote. For suspension, Flowers, Hurst,
Delger and Epperson. 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.
Alderman Purdy gare notice that be would
more to reconsider tbs nutter at the first fal!
meeting of coancil.
Alderman Finn tien mored to reconsider
the rote and postpone action until a full
meeting of council. Seconded by Alderman
Hurst and carried.
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.

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."

Samter Wants Factories.
THE VOTE FOB TAX EXEMP
TION ALMOST UNANI
MOUS.
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

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.

FOX CHASING.
Pine Sport in the Sand Hills.
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.

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

I hope in one hundred years time
To see that street look grand and sublime ;
When that awfull big roller will be cast

And tbe Ladies can come oct and tnke a

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 ?

COLUMBIA, S. 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.

COL. NEAL ARRESTED.
Brought From the Up-Coun
try by Constable Roach.
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,

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.
