At a meeting of the bosrd of directors to tte Katatoriam Company last Thursday it wes decided to make quite an important change in one of the rules governing the institution. It bas been decided that hereafter on Mon? days, Wednesdays and Friday nights no gentlemen will be admitted into the bath ualess accompanied by a lady. This rule, however, does cot apply to the afternoons of those days. He would have a perfect rigbt to ib? bath from three in tbe afternoon aotil terca in the evening although unaccompanied ky a lady, the same as be bas always bad. This chao ge bas been found to be necessary owing to the enormous influx of male bathers on tbe eveoiog8 above mentioned Monday sight of this week was the first experiment along this Hoe; on that night there were 31 ladies in the bath and 49 gentlemen On last evening, the second of the series, there were 82 gentlemen and 1 lady, while at the esme time io the spectators' gallery were eonoted some 25 or 30 ladies with their bath" tog snits io tbeir bands, but ail of whom smilingly expressed tbeir unwillingness to venture in amoo? such a perfect concourse of men. Tbe management feels thu this rule may eeem a little bard nn some of the young bocks of oor city, bot they feel that io making this change they are sticking to the old American priocipleof "the greatest good to 109 greatest nnmber " Two contracts were let Thursday looking to the comfort and pleasure of the patrons of 'he catatoriam. The brst was a contract for teven incandescent lizbts to be io addition to the present large vapor lamp now over tbe center of the bath, one iocandescant light will be io each dressing room, one io each corner of the hall of the natatoriom aod one io the office. This will leave the place indeed brilliantly lighted. The other contract was for ibirty-two wooden mats one inch thick, one To be placed in each dressing room aod four in each public dressing room. This was dooe in an effort to keep tfce bathers' feet and clothes dry wheo visiting tbe institution. Friday evening wes the first time the new rofe went into effect. Th:s rules compels a gentleman to be bccompamed by a lady to gtve bim entre to the bath. The rule worked excellently, and while the crowd in tho bath wes no< quite up to the previous nights in number yet the erjsyment of everyone was evidently increased There were but 32 io ?be bath, yet of these 16 were of lb;.- gentler sex. I The elegant new wooden mats were bailed with delignt. They were placed in all tbe private dressing rooms yesterday and the two public dressing rooms will be covered with ^ item today.

Magisterial Contest Still Unsettled The county executive committee met at ll o'clock last Thursday, pursuant to aojooro ment, to tabulate the returns from the second primary election and declare the result in so f*r as it concerned the candidates for coumy offices. Tbe committee appointed tc go after ?DP Rat tlesnakeSprtngs box reported with the box aid the retama were tabulated and the result an? nounced There Dei ag no contests or pro? tests io the election for sheriff, supervisor and coroner, a resolution was adopted that the election be declared on the face of the re turns, except in the case of the magistrales io the 4th magisterial oistrict. This was accordingly done and tbe vote announced as follows : Fer Sheriff- W H Epperson J,073, H W Scarborough 1,257 ; H W Scarborough w.13 declared the Domin?e for sheriff. For Supervisor-Marion Dorn 1,109, W H Seals 1.206 W H Seal3 was declared the oomioee for supervisor. For Coroner: S F. Flowers, 1376 ; Hog ginr, 916. S F. Flowers was declared the nominee for Corooer. For Magistrate 4tb District the vote was announced as follows: L R. Jennings 136, W. R DoBose 126, but tbe election was not declared. The contest in the Maeisterisl election was then taken up. Msj. H. F. Wilson repre? sented Mr. DuBose ine contestant, and Vir. L D. Jennings represented Mr. L. R Jen? nings, the contest?e. Maj. Wilson submitted affidavits showing that of tbs 40 votes cast for Magistrate in the Sumter box bot two were iegal ?od both were ca?t for DcBose ; also that oolv three men whose names appeared in the poil list of the Sumter club are residents of the 4th dis? trict and entitled to vote and that one of these did not vote for magistrate Affi? davits were submitted also to show that ille? gal votes were ca?t at Providence If the illegal votes cast in these two boxes a;e deduced from the total vote of tbe two candidates that the result would be lil votes each for DuBose and Jennings thus making the electioo a tie Mr. Wilson also asked per? mission to amend the protest of Mr. DuBose on the ground of after discovered evidence and submit affidavits showing that illegal votes were cast at Rafting Creek, Scarboro and Laborers and Mechanics c'obs. This was refQ3ed as tbe rules prescribe that protests aod conteste be filed within five days after the election. After more than an hour of debate a re30 ? lotion was adopted that Mr Jennings be granted one week in which to reply to the ! showing made by Mr. DuBose, that he file with Mr. DuBose bis reply within the week ; and that tbe committee acjourn to meet at ll a. m. Thursday, Oct 4th. The magisterial contest is a decided tan? gle, and it will be a very difficult matter to arrive ai a satisfactory settlement. There was a disposition to settle the matter Dy ordering a new election, but it was thought best to bear both sides of tbe comest and if I possible arrive at a settlement without goiog I ;o tbe trouble of another election.

Sept. 25 -Not since the disastrous year of 1831 has there heen such a general crop failure as this year. Even in that year good crops of peas aDd potatoes were made, but these commodities will be rather scarce with os this year. The cotton fields are brown sod bare, and the pickers have spent tbeir earnings for the good things to be found at the numerous shops, which are ! seen all along the highways-with capital to run them from $1 and upwards. Our cotton pickers never take a thought for the morrow, and their appetites consume each night about their daily earings. On the other band our farmers are straining every nerve to meet, with tbeir short crops, their expenses Nn ! merous ones have met their current expenses I and are hammering awnv on ihe cid debts, even at the risk of not buying a new suit of clothes and be "tony " Of all disgusting things to be seen is a tony persoo, oie who feels that he is too nice and good to poi bis hands to anything. I wonder what Bfjamin Franklin would say about such highflyers who are ever put? ting upon tbeir backs at the expense of pay iog their debts It is said bis sweetheart laughed at him wheo be walked through Philadelphia with a penny loaf under his arm and his shirts stuffed in bis coat pockets, but in after yeers she was honored to receive hie attention, j3St as queens and kings were glad to "jaeet bim. Beojamio taught tony folks a leeson wheo be invited them to par? take of h:8 "saw dust pnddisg and water " Wish we bad a few more like bim io this day and time. The time bas come to begin preparations for a big crop of oats, and wheat also. The present price of cotton will swamp many a j planter next year, if be dees not let the wise I experience ef the pa6t be his guide for the j future A big cotton crop will bring five I cents next year, then where will the planters be, with big debts to pay ? Better prepare for the future now and avoid tbe breakers ahead The fever through here bas about gone. Rev Mr Crouch, who got three of his fin? gers cut off some time ago, is slowly improv? ing. The cotton seed market bas not opened yet. j The people here love a quiet life, so that I they sever disturb it by a party, social ga ' tbenog of any sort.

Buddin plead "not ? uilty," but the evidence proved that be bad atterxptr-d to shoot Ellison Wilson, colored, ia the house of Lelia Richardson on Bee street. Tbe two men were strangers to each other, and so far as showo, there was not a particle ot provocation for the assault on Wilson. To Baddie's unsteadiness of band from liquor, and Wilson's poweras a sprinter, is due tbe fact that serious injury was not in? flicted. The defendant waa given ten dollars or twenty days, and at last account, was in tbe calaboose. Carolina McFaddin, a country darkey was arrested last Wednesday by officer Weeks for disorder!? conduct. He was released for five dollars bait and failing to appear next day, that sam was declared forfeited to the city. Tavlor Richardson plead guilty of disorder? ly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon. He was given J3 or six days, and took the daye. The Mayor directed that Richardson be required to take a oath and be furnished with a clean shirt as additional punishment. It was suggested by a kind hearted police? man that the sentence should be reduced to banging, but there was no alternative and the defendant bad to submit to tbs novel experience of soap and water, to bia evident disgust. Robert Leighton, a driver for Barby & Co , was arrested for driving a wagoo into Wesley Bcssard's carriage, and overtarning it at the A. C. L. depot Thursday. He was senteoced to pay a fine of $5 from which the cost of straightening Boseord's axle is to be paid Wesley Bossard plead guilty to leaving bis carriage with the horses unhitched at the A. C L. depot and paid a fine of one dollar. Bil! Pickens, who bas somewhat of a record in police circles, was before the Mayor Satur? day morning charged with public drunken? ness and cursing on Main Street Friday. Pe was found goilty and a fine of S5 imposed. He paid the fine rather than work on tbe BtreetB ten days. The Mayor's coart held a lengthy session Mos day morning, bat the cash receipts were not io proportion to tbe volume of testimony and tbe able-bodied swearing of tbe princi? pals and witne8sei. Tbe followiog cases were on the docket. Caleb Wilson, Frank Ross, Sam Robineoo and Hugh Duglass. disorderly conduct, fighting and vsing profane language. AU were found guilty and the fines wer? as fol? lows: Wilson S4, Ross $2, Robinson $2, Dcglass $1. London Thompson, drunkenness ; guilty. Fine $2. Carrie Hicks and Hattie Mood, disorderly conduct, fighting and quarreling ; goilty. Hattie Mood S3, Carrie Hicks $2. Frank Hamilton was before the Mayor this morning for public drunkenness and disturb? ing the peace. He plead guilty and was given the choice of $2 or 4 days. He took the days and was turned o/er to Street Com? missioner White. i^- ? i -m Sobbed the Grave. A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is nar? rated by him as follows : "I was in a most dreadfnl condition. My skin was almost yel? low, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continu? ally in back and sides, no appetite-gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physi? cians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters/ and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to : try them. Only 50 cents per bottle at J. F W- DeLorme'fl Drug Store. 5 Of Value to The Graded Schools. Judge Ernest Gary Renders Important Decision. From The State. There bas been an important case pending in court I'D regard to the sup? plementary tax to support graded schools. The matter affects every such school in the State and is, therefore, a most important one Judge Ernest Gary, who beard the application for injunction, yesterday filed the following decision, which speaks for itself : This case came on the final bearing on the merits, on the pleadings and testimony taken in the open conrt. lt is an action against the commis sioners or trustees of the Florence graded schools and the treasurer of Florence county for perpetual injunc? tion restraining the county treasurer from paying the poll and conetitu tional three mill tax to the use of said schools, and restringing the said commissioners from collecting from the plaintiffs a supplementary fee of $2 The grounds of the plaintiffs con? tention are substantially : j First That the charter of the Flor [ ence graded schools bas been re? pealed Second That the charter is uncon stitutionai Third That the school is not en tilled to receive the constitutional three mills tax (or incidentally to charge the supplementary tuition fee of $2) until they, (presumably the commissioners), have first levied and collected a four mill tax especially authorized by the charter As to the first ground, no act of the legislature or provision of the constitution lias been pointed out to me even tending to such a result As to the second ground, the Flor? ence graded schools and the other similar schools created by act of the legislature seen in the constitution of j 1895, article XI, section 5, to have ? received the' fostering care" of that j instrument by direct and speciai ref j erence In diecuppiing this article and eec ? tion Mr Justice Pope, in Martin ve. j the school district of Laurens 5 8. C 125, eays it "very conclusively set? tled the question raised by petitioner that the legislation com? plained of is void," as being uncon? stitutional. The second ground contended fo by plaintiff would therefore seem un tenable As to the third ground, I see nothing in the charter of the school making the right to receive ile share of the general sohool fund depend on the levy permit? ted this charter. In fact tho ievy and collection of any portion whatever of this speoial levy is dependent entirely on the independ? ent willoi the mass meeting of citizens held under this provision of the charter, and with which the management of the school or the commissioners have no voice. If the citizens should decide (wisely or unwisely) to levy no special tax whatever, I am at a loss to pee by what force or reasooiog it could be held that the school could also be deprived of the poll and constitutional tax The same may be said as the supple? mentary fee. The special tax and the supplementary fee are levied by differ? ent authority. In fact if the citizens should fail to make the speoial levy sufficiently large for the needs of the schools then would arise the very contingency that was probably io the mind of the legislature when it vested the authority io the management of the sohool to supple? ment by levying this special fee. I may add that if it should be shown that tbe management of the sobcol were doing illegal acts io collecting fees or otherwise, it would furnish DO founda? tion for an injunction to shut off tbe funds of the school. If the school is beiog ruo illegally let the sohool be regulated, but this is no reason why the arm of the court of equity ehould be involved to destroy the school itseif. I see no ground of injonction against the commissioners collecting a two doilar supplementary tuition fee. The charter authorizes it and we have seen that the charter is not in contravention of the constitution. The court bas been furnished with no proof of abase of power and dis? cretion vested in toe board to levy a supplementary fee, io levyiog two dol? lars OD eaeb scholar. This I oonsider reasonable. It is ordered that the injunction prayed for be refused and the oomplaint dismissed. Ernest Gary, Presiding Judge. Opinions of a Washington Observer on Chinese and Political Situation. Washington, Sept 24 -Whether Mr McKinley's partnership with Li Hung Chang is to be permanent or is merely to be used to try to postpone the actioD of the other powers io China, until after the election, is a question of much interest just now. lt is significant that just before the administration decided to practically sever its connection with the allied powers in China, Mr McKinley had a long private conference with Ex Secretary of State John W. Foster, who was Li Hung Chang's attorney and adviser when that shifty and crafty chap was negotiating for peace with Japan and who is believed to be acting in the same capacity now. Mr McKinley's decision that the Americao troops should, with tbe exception of a heavy legation gnard, be at once withdrawn from China, bad a double purpose. It was a concession to that portion of pnbiic opinion which has been asking why they were not withdrawn ever since Pekin was taken and all Americao citizens were out of danger, aDd it at the same time gave the administra tion about 4,000 aoldies who can be sent to the Philippioes, where the ; war is again ragiog, notwithstanding administration assertions that it was over many months ago. The part* nership with Li Hung Chang crops ont io that portion of the diplomatic note to the powers which informs them that the United States minister to China has been instructed to arrange the preliminaries for opening negotiations with Li Ex Senator Quay came to Wash? ington several days ago for the pur? pose of holding conferences with some of his lieutenants and doing some figuring on bis chances for controlling the legislature and get back to the senate. The fact that Mr Quay came to Washington to hold these conferences in his own house indicates a fear of treachery in Penn? sylvania, on bis part. Among those who participated in the conferences were Senator Penrose, Chairman Reeder, of the republican state com? mittee ; Representatives Bingham and Young, and Insurance Commis 8?oner Durham. Mr Quay refused to even bay whether he expected to get back to the senate, which indicates that he doubts, as be bas heretofore pretended to regard bia election to the senate as a matter of course. The extent of Mr. McKinley's control of Mr Hanna wiil be shown by Hanna's future conduct. {Mr. McKinley left Washington last week, fully determined to stop IIannare speech making, having been con? vinced that it was making Bryan votes by the thousand all over the country. Since then, Mr Hanna has spent a day with Mr. McKinley a? Canton If Hanna makes no more speeches, it will show that Mr. Mc? Kinley retains some eay in the con? duct of the republican campaign ; if Hanna continues to make speeches, it will shaw that he is the supreme boss of the whole republican outfit, including Mr McKinley. Hon Dominicki Murphy, Ex Commissioner of Pensions painted thia picture of Mark Hanna and his methods : "You never hear him prat? ing of bis reliance on Divine Provi dence to C3rry his party through an election. He is the type of the buccanneer and the free hooter in politics. He bluntly puts it that money is the essential thing, In this campaign let us hope and pray that Mr Hanna and bis fellow manipula? tors all spend their money in vain, but let us do more than hope and pray ; let us work from this time on until the polls have closed on elec? tion day, for you know that Heaven j helps those who help themselves."! Of the republican propensity to ring j the changes on our having become a . world powes through the Philppine | policy of this aGministration,Mr. Mur? phy said : "We became a world power more than a hundred years ago, when we issued the Declaration of In? dependence, and as long as we up hold that declaration and stick by the Constitution, vre will continue to be a world power. The American people will never consent to a policy that makes the gatling gun, and not the school house the means of en lightment 99 The administration isn'*t taking as much interest in the coming constitu? tional convention io Coba, since ic became koowo that a majority of the convention are men who will not take their orders from Gen hood, a9 to the ?ort of constitution they sbaii make. It is practically certaio in advaoce, that the constitution which will be made by the convention will not be accepted by J the republican majority in coogrees, and that the military government of Cuba will be prolonged indefinitely, instead of being ended next vear, in accordance with the oficial announce ment made by the McKinley adminis? tration for effect in the present political campaign. Representative Babcook, chairman of the republican congressional campaign oommittee stopped ic Washington loog enough on his way from New York to Chicago, to throw a fresh scare into the republicans, by telling them that unless something oould be done to head off the rapid growth of anti republican senti? ment, the next heu?e was bound to be d?mocratie. The information in posses? sion of the democratic committee shows that Mr. Babcock's scare is the real thing. Nsw York Li Insurance Company.
