Tbe City Council met in regular peasion at j 7 o'clock ??st Wedt.esdav night, with Mayor Stackey and Aldermen ?o\le, Chandler, W. H. Epperson, Finn, Hurstand Purdy, pres? ent ; Rowland and G F. Epperson, absent. The minu?s of Sept. 26th, October 4th and 8tb were read and confirmed. Rev C. C Brown was before Council to ! answer to a charge preferred by Health Offi cer Reardon for discharging kitchen slops I and oath water from bis resider.cs into the j drain cn C-*oal Street, io violation of ao I ordinance. Mr. Brown stated tb*t be has for I several yrers had pipes from his premises j conuected with the drains, a? have a great number of other citizens : that a rule of the j Board of Healtn preventt-d him from empty ! iog the slops oo his premises and be could . make no other disposition of them, except to empty them into the drain. Mr Brown urged on Council the necessity of a sewerage svsiem j of some kind, and boped they would devise a plan to solve the qoestioa. Oe motion of Mr. Chandler action was postponed, and a tpecial meeting of Council was appoioted for the 17tb instant at which tbe Board of Health shall be requested to be present for consultation. Tbe Fioance Committee reported that tbe Clerk's books for August bad been examined and found correct, atd tbat bills rfr'errtd at last meeting bad been approved. j Mr. Hurst stated tbat Mr Thomas Wilson .[ of the Northwestern Railroad bad 'old bim | that there is oo gravel on the line of bis road, but tbe city might obtain some from Camden by the Southern Railway. The License Tax Ordinance for 1901, which is identically the Same as the 1900 ordinance, and the Annual Tax Ordinance for tbe year beginniog October 1st, were read and order? ed published, under a resolution suspending the rule which requires two leadings. A letter was read Irom Health Officer E I Reardon asking that bis salary be increased from $35 to $45 per month. Accompanying the letter was a resolution of the City Board j of Health amending tbe Rule V, See 3, by making tbe Health Officer's salary $45 per J month which they requested Council to ap? prove and ratify. Messrs Epperson and Chandler moved to j approve the amendment submitted Messrs. Hurst and Purdy moved as a substitute tbat the increase be to $40 instead of $45, a? Mr. Reardon, in addition to bis salary as Health Officer, also receives $5 per mooth as Secre? tary of the Bo^rd of Health. The substitute waa iost and the previous motion adopted, thus raisiog Mr. Reardoo's salary to $50 per aOQtb, i e, $45 as Health Officer aod $5 as Secretary. Another communication from Health Offi? cer Reardon, dealing with the question of sewerage, was pre9eoted, but Council post posed reading it until another meering. Mr. H. L Scarborough, Superintendent of the Sumter Water Co , waa present and read a letter from bis company io reference to de? ficient water pressure in western part of the city. The company showed wherein they had been liberal in their concessions to the city, &od shoold not be b.amed for tbe existing defect, as Council bad not taken ovdraots as the contract required. They proposed, how? ever, that if Couocil would take one addi? tional hydrant at coroer of HarOy avenue and Republican stree:, they would put io 6 inch main on Republican street from Church to New street, connecting with 4 inch pipe at that point. It was decided to accept this offer and an order was passed for the addi liooal hydrant. The Cierk stated that there had beeo no publication in pamphlet form of the city or? dinances since 1893, and consequently refer? ences to laws of the city were difficult. The ordinances were ordered printed io pamphlet form. The Mayor informed Council tbateome per? sons erecting telephone wires on Church Street bad mutilated the shade trees, and asked what should be done. He was advised to issue warraots for the guilty parties and make an example of them. ! A letter from S. A. Schloss was presented, asking Council to make ao offer for the lease of the Opeia House, but it was decided to let the present arrangement stead A request irom Mr. WiHiam Yeadon for an i electric light for Salem avenue (formerly ?New street) and Haynsworth Btreet was re ? ferred to the committee of Public works. I Mr. Purdy called attentioo to the .poor i condition of tbe -apparatus of tbe Hook and Ladder Co , and the matter was referred to tbe'police and fire department committee. Mr. Epperson reported that io opening i ditches to lay terra cotia pipe eeveral water pipes that were found crossing the ditch would i b?ve to oe lowersd by meaB3 of coupiiugs, and asked if the city should have lbs altera? tions made at puoiic expeose. Council thought tbe owners should do this, ead the superintendent of streets was directed to so notify them. On their failure to do so, theo to cut the pipe out of bis way aod plug the ends. The September report of the clerk and treasurer was referred to the fioance commit? tee. Council then aojjuroed. Meeting of Board of Education. The Ci'y Board of Education met yester? day afternoon at 5 o'clock, with Messrs. Moise, O'Donnell, Haynswortb, Stuckey and j Sapt. Edmunds present. Mr. Edmunds read a letter from W. T Andrews, principal of the Lincoln School in reference to tuition fees. As a result of this communication a resolution was adopted : That hereafter the tuition fees in that school ne 75 cents per roootb for 1st, 2d, 3d and 4th ! grades and $1 per mooth for 5th, 6th, 7th : and 8tb grades ; ! 2d. Tbat the Secretary be instructed to ! ccmruunicats with Principal Andrews request? ing from bim a list of those pupils tiviog in District No. 1, so that the matter might be referred to District No. 1 for action, i A letter was read from Miss M. H. Girar deau, teacher, ri questing an increase of sal? ary. The board decided to pay her aa in? crease o? $5 per month The applicatioo of Rev. W. R A Palmer to have th* enrollment of bis school reported monthly was referred to Mr. Edmunds and the County Superintendent of Education Tuition and Contingent Fees. Some people have a misconception of the action of the City Board of Education ic fix? ing the tuition to be charged non-resident pupils who atteod Lincoln Graded School. Tuition fees are collected from pupils who are not residents of this city and from no others Tnere are a few pupils attending tbe school wfco live io the country ard the rule of the board applies to these pupils only. No change wa9 made io the contingent fee re? quired of all pupils and it remains tbe same as it has beeD for several years. - - _ QUESTION ANSWERED. ves, August flower still has the largest Kale , of any medicine in the civilized world, i'uur mothers and grano m it hers never thought of , utdng anything ol?e for indigestion or billious- , ness.

Mr. Editor : We are having the cold wave which was bailed with delight, though it makes some of OJ examine our little money bag to ascertain if we can replenish the ward? robe io due season or not. Farmers are nearly through harvesting their crops, acd oat plaoting seems to be general, wbich we are proud to see, for the short grain crop will place many of cs at the mercy of the speculators another year, Mr Editor, we hopeyou will join in with tbs editor of tbe Weekly Constitution and insist upon every farmer oot to iacrease bis cotton crop, but to increase the grain crop ; other? wise tbao this, we will oot be able to control the speculators who have caused sore oppres? sion so long among the farming class of peo* pie. It is true that the intense hot wave spoken of by D has been very trying, but when we consider the condition of our community, their unStness to meet sn untimely death, we say God forbid that a small Galveston hurricane or anything similar to one should ever visit our community. If we rightly understand the situation of the farmers io our sectioa, we think it to be a very serious situation, especially for^ the laboring class, therefore we have failed to locate the untold visions of wealth spoken of in the Pisgah news by D. The young ladies' non-marrying society, spoken of by D., seems to bs progressing nicely.

Today officials and employes of the South Carolina Telephone company will make a trip acros.' the country from the city to Oonearee, the object beiog to locate tbe line of telephone wires that will connect Colombia with the entire Pee Dee section at Sumter, the system beyond Sumter already having about 800 'phones connected and working. It is pro? posed to build a line across tbe country from here to Congaiee, thence following the line of the railroad into Sumter. It is said that this line is to be built at once and Columbia put ?a touch with the Pee Dee country at the earliest possible moment.-Tbe State. Dr. H. W.

It ha9 jost been completed aod will tomorrow be inspected and thrown opec to traffic by the State rail? road commission. It is the Camden branch of the Northwestern railroad, which is an extension of the old Wilson & Summerton. The branch runs from Sumter to Camden, a distance of about 28 miles, geing into Cam deo on the O.

It became very much swollen and pained bim eo badly that he could not walk without the aid of cruicbes. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of lini? ment aDd two and a half gallons of whiskey in bathing it, bat nothing gave any relief until he began using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This brought almost a complete cure in a week's time and be believes that had he not used this remedy bis leg would have had to be amputated Pam Balm is unequaled for sprains, bruises and rheumatism.

Oa Monday night, October 29th, Sydney Woodward, the famous colored tecor, will sing in the Opera Bouse, and the people of Sumter will have an opoortunity of bearing a tenor whose voice is surpassed only by that of Jean de Reezke. Madam Barbot, the highest musical author? ity in Charleston, gave the following state? ment to tbs News and Courier for publication a few reeks ago, jost prior to a Woodward concert given for the bene?t of the Galveston sufferers : "1 have heard this remarkable tenor three times and oo each occasioo I have been more anxious to bear him again. Wheo I first beard him I was charmed with bis delicious voice, but J then thought it might be the re? sult of novelty in listening to a colored singer. But on the two subsequent occasions Atoned out that it was the true merit in the singer that impressed me. His voice bas a wide raoge and is under perfect control. His style and manner are easy without affectation. I have no hesitation in saying that he is the finest tenor I have ever beard and I wish you would let this be known. Ths lovers of music should not miss this concert and the place in which he sings should be packed on Monday night The cause for which he sings should also be another iaducemsnt to attract a large audience." Madame Barbot added this : "A musical critic with whom I am intimate, and to whose judgment I defer greatly, told me that of all the famous singers heard in the Opera House io New York last season, witt the exception of Jem de Rsszke, tbis tenor ex? celled them all." Barton Levan aod other local talent will assist in the concert. Decision in Garret-Weinberg Case. The following synopsis of the decision of the supreme court in the Garret-Weinberg case, which was prepared for the Columbia State by John S. Reyno'ds, Esq.. of the Co? lumbia bar, will be ot interest to quite a number of our readers : John A. Garret et al, appellants, v. Rosa Weinberg et al, ressoodents.-Evidence. Grounds of appeal. Form of exceptions. Constkutional requirements. This was an aciion for the partition of real estate. The defendants setting up title, tbe case waa tried by a jury, bis honor Judge Aldrich presiding. The verdict being for the defendants, and a motion for a new trial hav? ing been overruled, the plaintiffs appealed from tbs judgment thereon entered. -The sole pnrpoee of a question asked s witness beiog to elicit testimony sbowing the insolvency of a party, sucb testimony was admissible. General reputation is one of the raodes of establishing the feet of insolvency. Qiesiioostoa witness, whether b.9 "ever knew" a certain party "to have any proper? ty" and whether such party bad "any other property besides" the land in diepate were properly ruled incompetent, as the manner ia which appellants thu* attempted to show owRersbip of such land is cot one cf the modes recognized in this State. But the error, if any, was harmless error, since tbe witness answered the first question in tbe negative, and such answer was not stricken out-the answer really preceding the objec? tion of counsel. Tbe admission of evidence of certain judg? ment rolls (appellants contending that the judgments bad been fully paid) so far as it involved a question of fact is not tbe subject of review by this court. But if there was error io such admission it did not prejudice the rights of tbe appellants. The record failing to disclose the fact that the appellants insisted upon the exclusion of certain records in former actions between tbe parties hereto (such actions resulting in non? suits for failure to give security for costs) the admission of such records in evidence was sot error of law. Tbe supreme court, io former appeals here in, did not undertake to decide any questions ot fact arising ont of tbe issue of tide, bot ooly to rule upon the questions of law pre? sented for its consideration. The presiding judge evidently did not intend to exclude from the consideration of the jury any evi? dence offered upon a former trial, which was properly introduced on the trial before bim. If in stating the issues raised by the plead? ings the presiding judge made a mistake, bis ittention should have been called tbe.eto if it wa? to be made a ground of appeal. Under section 8 of article 5 of the consts lution parties to a canse are not entitled to ibe opinion or judgmt-nt of the supreme court j ipoo aoy point "made and distinctly stated | o the cause and fairly arising upon the j ecord of the case " For this court to under ake to formulate the exceptiocs, snb-divisioas ind branches of sun divisions, so ai to State listinctly the poiota which appellants claim tri?e upon tbe record of tbe case would im >cse upon the court a duty not contemplated >v the constitution, especially as the supreme ?ari is required to file decisions wjtb'o 60 lays from the last day of the court at which Ia the present case exceptions open to criticism under the above-cited provision of tbe constitution have been considered and overruled without a statement of tbe reasons of this court ia reaching its conclusions. An exception which points out no specific error cannot be considered. Tne record showing that the circait judge ruled upoo all the grounds of tbe motioo for a new trial, appellant's exceptions founded opon an alleged incomplete consideration, bj the circuit j-idge, of the grounds of euch motion cannot be sustained. The conclusion of toe circuit judge upon a question of fact presented io a motion for a new trial cannot be reviewed oy this conrt. The circuit jadge having charged substan? tially the law, and the appellants having omitted to request bim to charge more ep?ci fically. there is no ground of exception to such charge cn toe ground that he did not charge more specifically. Ao exceptioo founded upon aa affidavit held by this court to be incompetent as evi? dence cannot be sustained. Judgment below affirmed. Opinion by Mr. Jastice Gary. Messrs. ?. B Stuckey, Thos. S.
