City Council he'd a regular tueeriog last
Wednesday afternoon at 6 o'clock.
Pr?sent, Mayor Stuckey, Aldermen Boyle,
G. F. Epperson, W. H. Epperson, Hurst,
Pardy and Rowland.
There was present a committee from the
Easiness League consisting of Messsrs. R. D.
Lee, Neil O'Donnell and A. W. Suder, to
urge appropriation of one thousand dollars
to open a road from Salem in Sumter County,
across Biack River to this city. They ex
plained the value of the road in building up
the commercial interests of the community,
by bringing large quantities of tobacco, cot
ton and other Droduce here, which now goes
to other markets. They stated that the
County Board of Commissioners had appro
priated ooe thousand dollars to the construc
tion of this road, and argued that a like
appropriation by council for the same pur
pose would be an excellent investment The
proposition was discussed, and on Mr. Row.
land's motion a special meeting was appoint
ed for one o'clock next Friday afternoon to
further consider the request.
Drs. H. M. Stuckey and J. C. Spann and
Messrs. W. M Graham end D. W. Canino of
the Board of Health appeared before council
to consult with reference to the proposed dry
earth system. They presented a petition
signed by a large number of citizens asking
council to employ an engineer to survey the
city, perpare cootour map, estimate cost of
sewerage. Meanwhile further consideration
of the dry earth system to bp postponed. It
was determined to accede to the wishes of the
petitioners, and the clerk was directed to cor
respond with civil engineers in Columbia and
Angusta with a view to having one of them
visi;' Scruter to look over the ground asd
advise coo nei 1.
Mr. G. P. Epperson stated that complaints
were made of the accumulation of trath and
garbage on the streets, and on hie motion it
was decided to discontinue the ose of ooe of
tbe dump wagons, and instead put two carts
into service to do scavenger work systemati
cally every day, coder police direction.
Min?tes of June 27th were read and ap
proved.
On motion of Mr. G. F. Epperson it was
ordered that tbe guard bouse windows have
iron bars pot across them.
Mr. Boyle reported that tbe shed or store
room needed for tbe street roller and other
machinery, coald not be pot on No. 3 Hose
Co. lot, but that a suitable building could be
built adjoining tbe city stables. This was
referred back to committee of public works.
Mr. Boyle also suggested that tbe present
bese drying rack at the rear of the city
ball should be removed, an? drying bars
erected at the rear of each bose company's
bouse, and it was so ordered.
Tbe name of New street was changed to
Salem avenue.
JTbe Mayor called attention to the leek of
troughs or fountains for wateriog horse3 and
moles, and suggested that an artesian well at
tbe tobacco warehous?now closed?should
be opened. That fountains should be placed,
one at the Court House and ooe at tbe At
lanti? Coast Line depot. Referred to com
mittee of public works.
An ordinance to regolate tbe use of bicy
cles was read and adopted, tbe role requiring
two readings being suspended by uaaoimoos
consent.
This ordinance limits the maximom rate
of speed to six miles, which most be reduced
to tour miles on approaching and passing
street corners ; requires tbe soooding of bells
at corners or when approaching persons, and
prohibits riding without lights after dark.
Council then adjourned.
A special meeting of City Council was held
Friday at one o'clock, pursuant to adjourn
ment, to consider certain mattere. Tbe
Mayor and Aldermen, Boyle, W. H. Epper
son, Hurst, Purdy and Rowland were pre
sent.
Tbe request of tbe Business Lea en e for an
appropriation towards the Black River road
was again discussed, and the sum of four
hundred dollars wes voted. Council thought
tbe present 6nancial condition cf the city
would not justify a greater appropriation.
A telegram was received from Mr. C. C.
Wilson, civil ecgineer of Columbia, in answer
to a letter from the clerk, in which he con
rea ted to come to Snmter, look over the
ground and make preliminary report on
leverage without other charge tlnn nectary
expenses. The clerk was directed to write
Mr. Wilson to come early next week, or as
soc as convenient to him.
There were no other matters* of public
inte:e3t considered.
MAYOR'S COURT.
There were only two casce on docket Th?rs
dav and betb about bicycle riding.
N. G. Osteen was op for riding od the
north side of Liberty Street, io front of
Andrews' restaurant. Be claimed that be
thought be had tbe right to do so, referring to
tbe published proceedings of City Council of
May 23, in which it was stated that the
bicycle limits were extended on the north side
of Liberty Street, to Main Street,
and aleo gave as a reason for using
tbe sidewalk, that the usual bicycle
track o? tbe side of the street was blocked by
a wagon. The Mayor and City Clerk explain
ed that tbe publication was a ' mistake of tbe
printer," as s reference to the trieutes show
ed that the extension was to Snmter and net
Mata Streets ; and that as a fact, bicycle rid
ing whs totended by action to bs prohibited
on that sidewalk between Main f-ud Sumter
Street. In view of the misunderstanding of
the matter the Mayor accepted tb* escase.

IS IT SIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicines ?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C.
It may be a question whether tbe editor of
a newspaper has tbe right to publicly recom
mend any of tbe varions proprietary medi
cines which flood tbe market, yet as a pre*
veotive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoe* Remedy. We bave known
and need this medicine in oar family for 20
years and bave always found it reliable. In
many cases a dose of this remedy would save
boon of suffering while a physician is await
cd. We do not believe in depending implic
itly on any medicine for a core, but we do
believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrh i Remedy were kept on band and
administered at tbe inception of &n attack
mncb suffering might be avoided and in very
many cases tbe presence of a physician wocld
not be required. At least this bas been our
experience daring tbe paet 20 years. For

United States and China
Technically at Peace, and
Outrages May Thus be
MORE SPEEDILY AVENGED.
Wasbiogtoo. July IG.?The deci
sion of tbc administration is that the
United States government is still not
at war with the government of China.
The big happenings at Tien Tsin, com
ing on top of the stories of the last
struggles at Pekio have not effected
the attitude of the administration on
this point ; the Uoited States and
China are technically at peace. But
this statement should not be accepted
as indicating a purpose on the part of
the United States government to hold
its band in the administration of swift
and adequate punishment apon the
Chinese, without regard to statioo,
who may be responsible for the out
rages of the past few weeks.
It means simply that the government
of the United States feels it eac best
achieve that purpose by regarding the
etatHs officially as one of peace. To
hold otherwise would seriously oripple
the government in its efforts to obtain
satisfaction for the outrages the Ameri
cans China have suffered. We
should find the ports of China, now
opeo to as, closed and all sorts of im
pediments would be encountered whioh
now are missing.
Therefore aocording to the adminis
tration view, a declaration of war would
afford not even a technical gain while
it would be actually a heavy drawback.
Chairman Cannon of the house ap
propriations committee, is authority for
the statement that money fn plenty it
at the disposal of the president to meet
the presene emergency, and that there
is no necessity for a called session of
congress on that score.
Great reluctance was manifested on
the part of the participants to answer
questions as to the nature of the delib
erations. The best indication of it?
nature was the departure for the White
House of Secretary Hay immediately
after the meeting. He sat down and
held a loog talk with President Mc
Kinley over the long distance tele
phone and it soon became known that
the president had deoided that it would
be best for him to come back from
Canton to the national capital.
The cabinet officers talked over the
possibilities of reeoforcing the troops in
China. There was no disposition showo
to withhold these troops ; the only ques
tion was as to the amount of additional
force available. That was a technical
question, so it was left to the war
department officiale to decide. The
only point laid down was that the
government would send forward all the
troops that could be spared at this
time.
Cold Steel or Death.
"There is but one small chance to save your
ife an that is through an operation," was the
awful prospect set before Mrs I Hunt, of
Lime Kidge, Vite, by her doctor after vainly
trying to cure her of a frightful case of stom
ach trouble and yellow jaundice. He didn't
count on the marvellous power of Electric
Litters to euro stomach and liver troubles, but
she heard of it, took seven bottles, was wholly
ci:red, avoided surgeon's knife, now weighs
mwre and feels better than ever. It's positive
ly guaranteed to cure stomach, lirer and kid
ney troubles, and never disappoints. Price
