What Was Done at the Regalar Sem?
Mo?thiy Meeting.
City Council held a regular meeting
at S pi m. Wednesday with Mayor.
Stnckey and Aldermen Boyle, Chand,
1er, Dick, W. H. Epperson and Hurst
present; Aldermen-G. F. Epperson
and Finn absent. ?
L. D. Jennings, Esq., representing
John Wesberry presented, an appeal I
from a fine of $25 imposed in the j
Mayor's cou?t June 28th for disturb- j
ance of the peace. Mr. Jennings ;
argued that the fine was excessive !
and out of proportion to the offence.
After hearing a synopsis of the evi
dence council reduced the fine to $15
on motion of Messrs." Dick and
Schwerin.
Mr. Schwerin-called attention to the
nuisance maintained by fishmongers
with their wheelbarrows of fish in the
business part of Main and - Liberty
streets and on his motion a resolution
was adopted : , t
That fish sellers shall not be permit
ted, to stop on the streets, but shall be
kept moving, except^ while actually
selling and delivering fish, particular
ly at the corner of Main, and Liberty
streets, or within one block thereof.
Messrs. Schwerin, Boyle and Chand
ler were appoited a committee to con
sider the advisability of establishing
a fish market and report at nest meet
ing.
The finance committee was requested
to prepare a license ordinance for the
year 1503, to be adopted and published
?n October as required by law.
The appeal of John Mack from i;he
5?ayor*s court was postponed on Mt ;
Schwerin's request.
Alderman W. EL Eppesson reported ;
that the roof of the Opera House is in
a leaky condition, and th? committee
of public works was requested to ms.ke
the necessary repairs. \
An offer to rrent the city dog house i
was received from H. L. B. Wells, ?
Esq. The matter was referred to
Messrs. Schwerin, Chandler and Boyle.
A letter was read from the Postal
Telegraph Co. in reference to the
license tax on their business and sug
gesting that it beabolisbed. No action
was taken.
A a ordinance to regulate the carry
ing of pistols in conformity with, the
State law was presented and read for
^the first time.

A White Kan Committed to iati for for
gery.
W. M. Thomas, white, who has been
selling lisrh'ining rods in this county
for some time, was arrested last Wed
nesday and committed to jail for for
gery on the complaint of Mr. Horace
Harby. Thomas discounted notes signed
by Messrs. Peter Jones, Sumter Richard
son and other citizens of this county,
but an investigation brought to light
the fact that the notes were forgeries.
Thomas when arrested was anxious to
keep the matter' quiet and settle up
the case, but it is stated ttiat no com
promise will be made and that Thomas
will be prosecuted and made an exam
ple of as a warning to bogus note
shavers.
The Sumter firemen are not talking
of taking part in the proposed fire
mens' tournament to be held in Char
leston next month. It is difficult for
the members of the two sqaads to get
off from business at this ses.son, and it
is quite probable that Sumter will be
without a racing team to represent
her in Charleston.
It is related as a fact, and the writer
has reason to accept the statement as
gospel truth, that when Mr. George
Evans of Edgefield, a brother of John
GaryEvanp, was in the citySaturday be
fore the secondprimary, for.the purpose
ofarranging forelection day workers for
the aforementioned John Gary Evans,
three times a candidate for she United
States Senate and three times defeat
ed, that he drifted into one of the
county offices at the Court House and
commenced to talk politics with an
outspoken resident of Sumter. After
beating around the bush awhile he
undertook to find out something about,
the prevailing sentiment as i;o the race
between Evans and Latimer. The
reply he received was: "It's a case of
buzzard and crow and I'll be
if I vote for either." And George
Evans never introduced himself to this
candid citizen.

It gives me great pleasure to .repre
sent the Daily Item on this momentous
occasion, and to tell the truth, as see
it, for the benefit of your lordly pa
trons. Teddy has come, and is now
about to go. I have both seen and
heard him, and am prepared to give to
the public Che impressions resulting
from this passing privilege.
First of ail,.let us get his name Jcor
I rectly. It is spelled Roosevelt, but is
pronounced Ko-sa-velt.
Ashevillews? laid out for a country
village, in an unambitious way. The
Court House is in the centre of the
square, and the stores are on the four
sides. This was in the banning.
From this, square the streets brauch
out, Patton going west, College going
east and Main street going north and
south. Just in front of the Qourt
House, which faces west, is the monu-y
ment to Senator Vance. At the foot
of this monument, a platform ? was set
up to seat 200 persons, and around
three sides of this the multitude gath
ered. The speech which we were told
would be delivered at 9:30 really
began at W :40 and the impatient crowd
increased in restlessness. The chron
ic wag was on hand, however, and kept
the multitude in a good humor. After
an hour's delay music was heard far
away down Patton Avenue, and the
jocose wag cried out "The barr hunter
is ? coming!" The whole crowd of
thousands turned about face and strove
to peer down the avenue : but it was
down hill and no one could see any
thing. We had merely to wait until
Mr. Bo-sa-velt ascended the platform.
This he-soon did. A big bunch of
red flowers on a table was his sign
post and he made for it. A venerable
bid lady sitting in his rear sought aa
introduction and for five minutes,
I while conversing with her, he kept
his back to the multitude. After he
was emancipated from her clutches,
Senator Pritchard brought his son and
! daughter, and introduced them to him.
I The chairman?the mayor, I presume,
arose and said: **The Hon. Hezekiah
um-um-um will now deliver an ad- !
dress of welcome to the president."
Who this Hezekiah was, I never found
out. Let us be satisfied that it was j
Hezekiah. It is an evil and noxious
habit people have of calling your name.
and omitting the other fellow's in gir- j
ing an introduction. Hezekiah gave
a brief, patriotic deliverance, and took :
his seat. The mayor then arose and |
said, "I present the President of the;
United States. ' 9 With this the muiti- i
tude cried out, though I am free to say '
the yelling never did at any time come
np to that heard at a Tillman cam
paign meeting.
Teddy then arose. Now, then, how
does Teddy look? What is he like? Or j
whom does be resemble? He is ai
brawny Dutchman, weighing 240;
pounds, and Is a threefold combina-'
tion of Dr. Clifton, Dr. Montague, .;
lately of Furman University, and our:
former honored townsman, Mr. Stack,.
the shoemaker. A misanthropic friend |
of mine once said to me, "Whenever;
you come upon a man florid in the ;
face, with sandy hair, and thick lips, :
set him down as a first class liar." ;
Teddy fits this description, but I am ?
not prepared to say that my friend
aforenamed was correct in his diag- :
nosis of face and feature. Teddy be
lieves in the ' strenuous life, ' ' he is ?
fond of display, and loves to be wor-1
shipped, but ? have no reason to be-1
lieve he ever tells what is untrue.
Teddy was plainly dressed in dark !
coat and vest and black and gray or ;
pepper and salt, pants. His vest was ]
a trifle abort in front. His right check
anc^ehin bore the marks made by his
attempt to knock a trolley car ?rom
the track. He may have much check,
but cannot contend with a trolley. He j
has beautiful teeth, white and perfect- j
iy aligned, and when he speaks, he i
throws both upper and lower lips far 1
out of place in ord?r to reveal these
teeth. His features are coarse and
heavy, but his voice is, rather small
and sharp. He spoke slowly and with
deliberation. It was manifest that he !
was speaking to the whole United
States, and not merely to the few thou- j
sands gathered about him, and conse
quently he gave the reporters ample
time to get down evory word he utter
ed. How many reporters were on !
hand, I cannot say ; but the kodak
fiends abounded. Three fellows with
kodaks sat near the reporter's table,
and every time Teddy raised a hand, or !
winked an extra eye, or showed his
teeth, they snapped their machines at
him. All through the crowd, the j
kodak folk were snapping away, and
in a second-story window, fronting the
speaker's stand, a photographer had
planted his camera, and took many
views of the first man of our nation.
JJTeddy's speech was on the question
of citizenship, and he told us that
character was the one thing to be
desired above all others, and character
was made up, among other things, of I
courage, manhood and general
integrity. I concluded that he had
given us a very good description of,
character, but no definition at al?*
Here and there he threw in a striking
aphorism, but the only thing that gaye
charm to his speech was the fact that
.he was the President of the United
States, the greatest country in the
world. If the. editor of the Item will
memorize and repeat this same speech
at some Pythian banquet, he will have
the experience of Bill .*Nye, who said
he lectured, once in the west," and
"There was loud applause in the gal
lery, with repeated cries Offling him
out! fling him..out!" The truth is,
Teddy has a har#row to hoe. Every
body wants to hear him speak, and the
unwritten law of politics is that he
mnst speak without saying anything.
If, on some unguarded moment, he
should chance to say anything, it will
\oe used against him in his race for
the presi ''ency. For this reason his
critics should" show all possiible mercy.
May be I myself have been too caustic
inwhat I have said. I t>elieve I'll
ta*ke it all back, if the editor will
allow me. jTbe fellow that is down is
always pelting the man above him. If
there were no one above us, some of
us would be out of a job. Mr. Cleve
land said, "Public office is a public
trust,", and want to add, a public
officer is a public cuss.
By this time?12:50?Te4dy has
boarded his train at Biltmore, and set
out for his humble home at Washing
ton. He told us that, to have good
laws, we must have good citizens, and
there is no patent device for getting a
good government. '"You and 1 are
the people," he said. When he came
to this, and put all of us in the same
class with himself, a manifest wave of
self-satisfaction rolled over the assem
bled :multitude. It is rolling over me
yet. If you and I and Teddy and
eyerybody'else will be good and honest
citizens, and elect only good and
I honest men to office, we shall have a
good and honest government of the
people, by the people, for the people.
I move, Mr. Editor, that we begin at
once to have this sort of government.
Please see that the rest of our people
are enrolled at once alongside of me
and Teddy. ? G. C. Brown.

Ruminating in the High Places.
Mrs. Partington had a way of say
ing, " Some people is jest as curious
as anybody, " and I bave" come to agree
with the superannuated and obsolete
sister. These "curious" .cr?atures, it
seems, make. up a large part of the
summer tourists, and being one of the
number, I have sought to get. as much
out of my surroundings as possible.
want to tell about some of my com
rades in a kindly way, without doing
de ted ment to any of them.
" VANCE. THE HORSE MAN.
Vance was a portly fellow, with
pendant jowls and red face. From,
him we hired a team new and then.
One day, while sitting beside him on
a bench, together with others, a kid
eame up and begged his father for a
nickel, saying, "Mama says yon must
give it to me." "Give it to biinV ex
claimed Vance; "I don't knew? with
er his mama said anything to him
about it or not. My children does me
the same way. It's just as natur'i'for
a boy to tie as it is for a goose to go
barefooted." Possibly Vanee had
reference only to mountain boys, and
not to those -about Smuter. |
CHICKENS HAS BACKS.
Among the tourists was a smart atad.
sprightly young widow?not grass but
sod, according to the distinction drawn,
by Jas. Whitcomb Riley between the.
woman who had quit her husband and
the woman who fead buried him. She
was given to making complaints about
both bed and board, and had a bad
habit of helping herself to the breast
and second joints from a dish of fried
chicken, and then, when desirous of
more, she would ask to have another
dish handed to her. Her purpose was
to make a second sweep of the choice
pieces. One day, it chanced that our
house-keeper was waiting on the table.
" Please hand me that dish of fried
chicken," said the comely little widow
"There's a dish right in front of you,"
said the matron. "These are all
backs and legs," demnrrded th?
widow.. I can't help it," rejoined
the matron; "chickens has backs, and
somebody must eat'em." And so it
came to pass that the querulous sister
had to take back or nothing.
THE WOMAN WITH A GOOD
HUSBAND.
It was in a stranger's parlor, whither
we had gone to make a callona friend
from Georgia. Before the fire, there
stood a tall and well-proportioned
woman of about twenty-six or eight
years of age. Whether she was a
boarder or a caller, I never ascertain
ed ; but she was entertaining an aged
sister with an account of how things
stood at home. She kept her stand
ing position, and moved about before
us in manifest self-satisfaction, an
swering one question after another
put to" her by the woman with th?
gray hairs. By and by, making
towards the door, she gave us all a
parting shot with? 'You know I've
got a good husband and a good home. "
I was greatly moved, and wanted to
give her a mild and modest pat on the
back. The woman who has a good
husband and has actually found it out,
and is not afraid to make public avow
al of it, is a creature to be admired
and adored. I do sincerely hope this
sister was telling the truth, and was
not talking merely for buncombe;
But I have my doubts.
US REPUBLICANS.
While waiting in front of the plat
form where Teddy was to speak, we
had to rub against all manner of na
tionalities. Behind us were three very
uncouth negroes and a whit? man.
Their fellowship, however, seemed
perfect. By and by, the white man
remarked, " Us Republicans has a good
place here where we can see and hear. "
When the speech was over and the
crowd dispersed, I asked a citizen,
"Are many of these white men actual
ly Republicans?" "Now /and then
you'll find one, " he replied ; ' ' but they
are all Republicans for revenue, except
now and then, you'll find a fool who
don't know any better." All this may
be true ; but when we read in the pa ?
pers about the awful struggle that
men make for office, I am half way
disposed to. believe that there are
Dmocrats for revenue also. "Patriot
ism is the last resort of the coward,"
said Victor Hugo ; but it is the first
appeal of the latter-day politician*
SHINOLA.
I had to come to the mountains to
learn how to black my shoes. Our
boarding place being only a cheap,
mountain home, I did not have the '
pleasure of having my shoes shined
daily by dusky hands. I found that I
must shine them if any shining was
to be done. But I hadvno equipment.
In ? little store I found a good-look
ing, ruddy-cheeked mountain girl, and
to her I made known my wants. She
told me that Sitinola was the best thing
she had ever seen. "How is it used?"
I asked. "Rub it on with one rag, :
and rub it off with another, and noth
ing is left on your shoes but the
shine." Thereupon I invested a dime
in a box of Shinola, and I am now
prepared to recommend it to all friends
and constituents of every name and
nature. It is necessary to apply it only
"two or three times a week. A few
strokes with a rag each^morning brings
back the shine by removing the dust,
nor does water seem to dull it in the
least. The polish is made by th? Shi
nola Company, Rochester, N. Y. It
is to be hoped that several of our
progressive Sum ter merchants will keep
the articles on hand henceforth and
advertise the fact in the Daily Item.
To use it once will make a convert of
almost any one. About one minute to
each shoe will guarantee a shine for
the day, and it is good for all leath
ers.
My vacation is drawing to a period
now, and I shall soon have to vacate
my high piade as special correspondent
of ?he Item. On Wednesday next, the
llt?i, I shall set out for home, and
hope arrive on Thursday morning.
Meanwhile I send warm regards and
other like things to all my cherished
frieeds who have survived the heat of
the fiommer now so tardily drawing to
a close. C. CL Brown.
Asheville, N. C.
P. S. I made it my duty on Monday
last to visit the home kept up by our
Suinter .citizens on the Asheville sub
urbs. found Booth, Ligon and Nash
with their feet high and lifted up on
the piazza railing. Mr. NaslTs com
plaint is that he only needs Ligon's
digestion in order to get well. He
says Ligce can eat anything, at any
time, and in any qnantity, and then
go to sleep in perfect peace and inno
I eeney. The party, however, is about
to dissolve. Ligon?weighing now 150
pounds?has gone to Philadelphia, Dr.
Booth will leave for Sumter about the
16th or 17th, and Mr. Nash will doubt
less come down as soon as he is assured
of the return of 'cool weather. Mr.
Ligon expects to resume his work on
the road for Wampole & Co. about Oct.
h These gentlemen tell me that they
can get in Snmter everything necessary
for the treatment of lung troubles,
except the rarified mountain air. If
some low-country genius will invent a
process for producing the above-named
air, we may count our town rich. The
Asheville people?doctors, merchants
and ranchmen?have no other indus
try than that of cultivating and then
scalping the summer tourist and the
invalids from the four ends of the
earth. We too can live upon the same
sort of robbery and rapine, if some
man will just furnish the right kind
of air. I beg you, Mr. Editor, to look
into these things, and see if we can't
solve the problem. The air needed is
thin and light and full of "mountatin
dew." The last named ingredient we
can get, doubtless. How about tho
others?
GREGORY'S BISCUIT BAKING CONTEST.
Miss Mabel Parrot! Made the Best Bis
cuits and Won the Buck's Range.
The biscuit baking contest given by T.
S. Gregory last Friday was a contest
from start to finish and one long to be
Temembered [by the little girls wno
participated, and also by those who
uwere present and saw the work
going on.
The judges were : Mrs. Welch, Mrs.
Horn, Mrs. Strauss, Mrs. Stubbs and*
Mrs. Joy. '
Little Miss Mabel Parrott, age
11 years was the winner in the
contest. The flour used in contest was
furnished by V. H. Phelps, the pop
ular Main street grocer, and was the
celebrated " Pansy" btand. The room
in which the contest was conducted
was crowded from 10 a. m., until 3.30
p. m, by prospective buyers and lit
tle biscuit bakers.
Mr. Gregory is a wide awake adver
tiser and up-to-date house furnisher.
Everyone reported an excell?nt time
and it is undoubtedly a great adver
tising scheme and is sure to put Mr.
Gregory in fche top notch in that line.
The biscuit were baked in three and
four minutes in one ?of Buck's Great
White Enamel lined cooks stoves.
The following.little &iris took part
in the contest: Gaynell Collins,
Miriam Mellett, May Baxter, Lula

Birmingh^n, Ala., Sept. 15.-?The
Republican executive committee has J
refused the admittance o? negro dele- j
gates to the State convention which

negroes.
Washington, Sept. 15.?The state de
partment has received a cablegram
from Minister Hart at Bogota, Colom
bia, which says that the revolutionary
Gen. Carrazo, who has been operating
with a strong force on the great plains
east of Bogota, has surrendered. They
regarded this as assuring the pacifica
tion of the whole eastern region. The
Colombian government has also an
nounced the repulse by a government
war vessel of -a revolutionary attack
some days ago on the Magdalena river.
A Mississippi doctor is quoted as

PISGAH COMMENTS ANO NEWS.
Our Correspondent Appears to Believe
That the Press Should Not Express
Opinions.
Pisgah, Sept. .?The most pleas
ing people I see these days, are future
office holders, and tobacco planters.
That picure of a man sitting in a chair
leaning back, cross-legged, thumbs in
his vest-coat arm pits,' smoking a
cigar, a broad smile on his face, and
a package of ?ncle Sams' precious
paper by his side represents the tobac-'
co man. His mind is th?t of the girl
that-carried the pail of " milk on her
head, which is found in Webster's old
spelling book. My heart goes out re
joicing with them in their happiness,
and I will reserve my sympathy for
them, next year. The cotton men
smile every time they get 8 cents. Poor
fellows, they know what it is to be
scorched and burnt financially, and a
little ease, from their burns.and hurts
makes them so happy.
Our colored friends have caught the
infection, and it makes them/slow in
their movements towards getting the
cotton out. Wonderful that a little
knowledge and wealth makes us wise
and happy.
There are a lot of men in our State
so precious of their franchise that
they never show it. Their citizenship
is only exercised when the State orders
them to do certain things, or pay a
penalty, such astjury duty, paying of
taxes, etc.
When the road from shot pouch to
Sum ter is finished every man and beast
that travels it will be thankful, for it
is now a miserable sand bed. If we
had no convicts the road would" not
have been improved?an object lesson
that good has come out of evil-doing.
Now let Mr. Seale redouble his efforts
and give the county the best roads of
any county in the State, and his
fellow citizens will sustain him in his
work.
The last primary has sent some of
the best men of our State to the rear.
It would have been pleasing to give
the old veterans what they asked for,
but the majority decided otherwise,
and to their decision we all must
yield. Disappointment comes to ali
through life, and it is true manhood
to bear it without complaint.
Some of the press has not conducted
the campaign on as high a plane as
they should have done. Whenever an
editor feels that he knows more than
anybody else, and all who oppose him
are wrong, telling others what to do
and not to do, he is not a moulder of
public opinion, and is in the wrong
place. A newspaper, to command the
respect of the people should be impar
tially fair in all public matters, leav
ing to the judgment of the people
which to accept. Partisanship, where
there is only one party is siliy. Dic
tation, will ever be resented just as
our forefathers did when they freed us
?rom the galling yoke of Great
Britain.
Rev. M. Phil?ips, of Bishopville, is
expected to aid in a meeting at Swift.
Creek church soon. That will close
the protracted meetings in this section
for this year. These meetings have
changed in all the . country churches,
from fall to summer, so, ? presume,
not to conflict with work.
