mm 8f oes DELEBATION. Mr. Lever Laboring for Better Wfail Facilities in his District, Also to Set a Fine Public % Building for Sumter. Washington, Nov. 12.-Representa? tive Lever called at the postoffice department today in the interest of the re-establishment of the Mannville post office in Lee. County. This office has . been in exhistence for over one hun? dred years, but on account of some technicality was a few days ago dis? continued by the department. Mr. Lever filed a petition for its reopening, and is making a vigorous fight in be? half of the people accommodated by it He also filed a request for a change in the starting point of the star route between Peak and Glympville, S. C., so as to give the people along the route the advantage of the early morning mail. He ateo requested a change in star route from Chap?n, by way ol Pine Ridge to Derricks, so as to afford "better services to people along said route. Mr. Lever also called at the pension bureau and took up a number of claims with the commissioner. Mr. Lever has introduced a bill, carrying $75,000 for the erection of a postoffice building at Sumter. Sumter is one of the best towns in the State, being fifth in point of population, with five rail? roads centering in it, large banking and business establishments, with the largest inland cotton market in the State, the biggest telephone factory in the South and perhaps in the United States, and besides is surrounded by a rich farming; country. This undertak? ing will have the enthusiastic interest of Congressman Lever and will also receive the active support of the entire South Carolina delegation, both in the House and the Senate. It is not now known that a public building bill will be passed at this session, but Mr. Lever does not care to run the risk of any delay i ^introducing the bill. At the last session of Congress Cel. Elliott obtained an additional appro? priation of $15,000 for the Georgetown public building, the real purpose of raising the appropriation being to pur? chase additional ground for a site, so as to extend the Government property to the water point This purpose was no& stated in the act and. the secretary of the Treasury had no authority to acquire the additional site; 'so Mr. Scarborough has introduced a bill to give the Secretary of the Treasury authority to acquire the additional site. He will again introduce a bill for the erection of a monument to Francis- Marion at Marion, S. C. There - is considerable opposition to monument bills, but Mr. Scarborough thinks that peroaaps the committee may report an omnibus bi IL A num? ber of postal matters have demanded his attention, among other matters to obtain Sunday ?nail at McColl, a post oifice at Mandeville, in Marlboro County, and sundry changes in mail rou tes -News and Courier. Your Opportunity to do Good. The Thornwell Orphanage is located in Clinton, South Carolina. It is the property of the whole Southern Pres? byterian Church. It cared last year for 216 orphans, with 28 teachers and officers in charge. Of the orphans, 112 were from South Carolina, 48 from Georgia, 15 from Florida. Every Southern State was represented. And some. Northern. The support of this family and their education was provided altogether from voluntary donations. They do their best toward self help. They cook their own food, make their own clothing and shoes, raise all the milk, butter and vegetables used, and dispense with all servants. * They are worthy. They are your own little brothers and sisters. Thanksgiving day is coming. Show youi* thankfulness by sending a gift of money or provision to the founder and head of the Institution, Rev. Wm. P.

The Best Liniment. "Chamberlain's Pain Balm is considered the best liniment on the market," write Post & Bliss, of Georgia, Vt. No othei liniment will heal a cut or bruise sc promptly. No other affords such quich relief from rheumatic pains. No other ii so valuable for deep seated pams like lame back and pains in the chest.

Wallace-High Prices Realized. The Executors' Sale of the stocks and bonds belonging to the Estate of the late R. M. Wallace which was held at the Court House last Friday was , attended by a large number of local and . oat of town capitalists who were in? terested in the stock offered for sale or were looking for bargains in first ' class investment securities. ' The bidding was active and none of the stocks that had real value were sold cheap ; in fact some of the stocks and bonds brought higher prices than they are quoted at today in stock ex? change reports. The stocks of Sumter corporations ; sold remarkably well ; all of them ex? cept the cotton mill stocks commanded ( a high premium. The Sumter Tele , phone Mfg.

A Speech That Saved a Man From Be? ing Hung. We take the following from the Bir? mingham Daily News of November 7th, in which the court reporter of that paper writes of the great trial of Will Tolbert, a negro who killed Hon. James Thompson 31 mouths ago. Tol bert's attorney was Maj. David B. An? derson, formerly of Sumter, and he seems to have been fortunate in his selection of a lawyer. The News print? ed an excellent likenessof Maj. Ander? son in connection with its comment, which follows: The murder case of Will Talbert, a negro, who killed Mr. James Thomp? son, a white man, eleven months ago, consumed the time of' the Criminal Court for two days this week. His attorney was D. B. Anderson. This case has attracted more attention than any other case recently tried. One of the jurors in the Talbert case said : "lam frank to say it was the first time I etrer cried in my life as a juror. It was while listening to Mr. Ander? son's speech. For one hour and fifty five minutes he held the jury spell? bound. At one time I even forgot my name. That speech saved Talbert from being hung.*' All the rest tried for murder this week were sentenced to be hung. Mr. Anderson got his man off with twenty years. Even the solicitor said : "That was the best speech I ever heard for a defendant, except one, in my life." Another juror said: "Mr. Anderson can throw more feeling in his words than any man I know of except the famous William L. Yancey, who brought on the Confederate war." Another juror said: "Mr. Anderson missed his calling. He ought to have gone on the stage because he is a born actor. Wait for "Fewer Gallons ; wears longer/' ELEO?B10 B?iLWfiY FRANCHISE. Application fsfiadeto City Council for Forty Years Exclusive Right. Mather Referred to Committee for Mature Consideration--Lengthy Session Held and Much Business Transacted. Council mot at 8 p. m. Wednesday in regular session with Mayor Stuckey and Aldermen Chandler, Dick, W. H. Epperson, Finn, and Hurst present.. 'Aldermen Boyle, Schwerin and G. F. Epperson were absent. A number of citizens were also present. Hon. T. G. McLeod was present as spokesman for citizens who are opposed to the railroad track across Harvin sreet and made a strong protest against adoption of the " ordinance granting the privilege. He said this is not a pablic enter? prise but a privilege to a corporation for the personal benefit of its members., and the individual rights of citizens should be considered. Only for public jpurpose can property be taken, and the owners must be adequately com? pensated, while in this instance pro? perty will be depreciated in value by a nuisance without hope of redress. Sumter has reached that stage where it 4oes not have to offer inducements to business enterprises. They will come to Sumter because it isa good town without special inducement, and because it is profitable to come. Citi? zens had built their homes, under? standing that they would be permitted to enjoy them undisturbed for all time, and to raise their children in safety not jeopardized by railroads running without schedule time. They appeal to Council for protection. If choice must be made between corporate power and substantial citizenship the matter ought to be easy of settlement. The growth of business and increase of values are speculative and there is no assurance of their realization. Can these people sell their homes for suffi? cient money to rebuild in as good style as they now have? Nobody will want homes from which the present owners have been driven by such conditions. lt is unjust to allow conditions to obtain which will render these homes undesirable and then say to the occupants move out if you can't stand it. God forbid the day will ever come j in South Carolina when sentiment j will not attach to the homes, where our children are reared ; from whence our dead are taken; and which are made sacred by tender associations. Then again if this privilege be grant? ed, what is to prevent others of the same kind as there should be no dis? crimination in such matters. This is a serious step, members of council should put themselves in the place of these citizens and do as they would desire should be done to themselves. A trolley line is no parallel to this enterprise. There are few trolley accidents, while railroad accidents are of\ every day occurrence. The life of one little child is of more value than a S50,OCO lhisiness. The citizens are here and business will come as the railroads have done. You could not drive men away who have been making money here 10 or 15 years. The passenger station was removed to get away from a network of tracks, and now if this track be allowed the same condition will again result, and all citizens have an int?r?t in keeping streets unobstructed. Opposition speeches were also made by Dr. A. J. China and Mr. J. R. Ligon, the latter declaring that Mr. Bowman had stated that the ware? house would be built whether the track privilege was granted or not. The ordinance granting to W. A. Bowman and associates the privilege of laying a railroad track across Harvin street was then read for the first time. Dr. Van Teiberg Hofman from the Board of Health, asked for an appro? priation of $50 for a disinfecting apparatus, and the appropriation was granted. L. D. Jennings, Esq., appeared to request the privilege of building an electric street car line through certain streets and presented an ordinance granting certain exclusive rights and privileges. The following sections of tiie proposed ordinance contain all the information relative to the franchise asked for that is of general interest, the other sections dealing with mat? ters relating to police powers and the use of streets under regulations there? in prescribed. Section L Be it ordained by the Beard of Aldermen of the city of Sum? ter, in the county of Sumter, in the State of South Carolina in council as? sembled and by authority of sani9 in manner following; That is to say, that the exclusive privilege is hereby granted D. A. Minor, C. W. Wheeler, J. M. Law? rence and L. D. Jennings, their exe? cutors, adroinstrators and assigns for a period of forty years from and after the passage and approval of this ordi? nance to lay their tracks as follows; That is to say; a single track com-i menciiig at the Atlantic Coast Line Passenger ^pot along Graham street to Main . street, also a single track commencing at the Southern Passen? ger depot along Dingle street to Main street, thence north along Main street to the intersection of Graham and Main streets, thence north on Main street to Liberty street, thence west on Liberty street to Church street thence north on Church street to Hampton avenue, thence west on Hampton avenue to Salem avenue, thence north to Broad street, thence northwest on Broad street to the city limits; commencing again at the in? tersection of Liberty and Main streets, thence north on Main street to Warren street, thence west on Warren street to Washington street thence north on Broad street to the intersection of the line on Salem avenue, together with such turnouts and switches for pas? sengers as may be necessary. Section ?5. All tracks above provided for in and along the streets above mentioned shall be constructed within twenty-four months from the first day of January, 1904. Failure to so con? struct said tracks shall deprive the said D. A. Minor, C. W. Wheeler, J. M. Lawrence and L. D. Jennings, their heirs, executors, administrator" and assigns of all the privileges grant? ed herein. Section ll. That the said D. A. Minor, C. W. Wheeler, J. M. Law? rence and L. D. Jennings, their heirs, executors, administrators and assigns shall have the privilege and the same is hereby granted, to furnish electric lights, fans, etc., either to the city or to any individuals that may desire the same, and shall have the right to use all or any of the streets of said city for the purpose of putting up poles and hanging their wires, lights and getting the necessary applicances in connection with said lights, all to be done and erected under the super? vision of the street committee. Section 12. That in consideration of the advantages, conveniences and benefits which may result to the said city and its inhabitants from the con? struction, maintenance and operation of said Electric Power and Street Railway, and as an incentive and in? ducement for said parties or their as? signs to enter upon the construction of the said Street Railway and Electric Lights, the said city council do here? by exempt the said property of the said parties cr their assigns which will be invested in said Street Railway and Electric Light system, from all li? censes and taxes for a period of five years. A committee consisting of Aldermen Hurst, Dick and Chandler was ap? pointed to confer with the applicants in regard to the provisions of the ordi? nance and report at the next regular meeting of council. At request of council Mr. J. M. Lawrence, representing the Sumter Insurance Agency, was present and informed the council in reference to insurance rates on the Opera House. He stated that it had been advanced to ?3.93 1-3 and cannot be reduced, below that amount. He thought all agencies would be compelled to write at that rate and asked that his agency be permitted to retain their share of the business. The minutes of October l? were read and approved. Solomon E. Samplin offered to lease the lot west of No. 3 Hose House on East Liberty street. The matter was referred to the committee of public works. A letter was read from Dr. J. S. Hughson complaining that the ordi? nance recently adopted which pro? hibits dry wells within half a mile of water station has affected the value of his property in that some persons will not purchase lots where they cannot have this privilege. He asked that the ordinance be repealed or modified as to prevent "an unjust effect upon those desirous' of building up our city. ' ' He does not believe that the health of the city would be affected by the dry wells in the slightest degree. Alderman Hurst presented a request of Dr. C. P. Osteen for the privilege of building a dry well within the pre? scribed limits under any regulations that may be prescribed. No action was taken. The offer of Mr. Edgar Skinner to buy the Kitson light at tfce Opera House was referred to the committee of public works with power to act. The requ3st of Harris Bristow & Co., for annual license as horse trad? ers at less rates than the monthly li? cense was refused. A complaint of Mrs. M. B. Teicber concerning bill boards on the pavement against her building on Liberty street was referred to the committee of pub? lic works. On motion of Alderman Finn the Chief of Police was authorized to sell the bloodhounds belonging to the city. OE motion of Alderman Finn the Board of Health was requested to sug? gest an ordinance to regulate the sani? tary disposal of sewerage under exist? ing conditions with a view to pre? serving the purity of the water supply. Alderman Dick reported that the survey of Turkey Creek will be com? pleted by Friday, Nov. 13th. He also reported progress on the movement for the public building. A The offer of I. A. Ryttenberg to supply the city with brickbats at cost of handling was referred to the com? mittee of public works. On motion of Alderman W. H. Ep? person police power was conferred on A. G. Brown while in the employment of the city. On motion of Alderman Finn Coun? cil remitted SS of the $10 fine imposed upon George Richardson for obstruct? ing a street crossing with a railroad car. Mayor Stuckey recommended the remission of the fine which he had no power to grant, che amount of the fine being fixed in the ordinance. On motion of Alderman Dick the Pierce Jones Carnival Co., was grant? ed the privilege of opening all of their attractions for the licenses already paid. The Clerk & Treasurer's report for October and a number of claims were referred to the finance committeee and Council adjourned at 10.45 p. m. .--^#-? - 50,000 Dollars for Maximo Gomez. Havana, Nov. ll.-In the senate and house today a gift of 850,000 was unanimously voted to General Maximo Gomez in recognition of his services as head of the revolutionary army. In the house one representative objected to the grant, but afterwards voted in the affirmative. The donation has no connection with the S20,000 credited to General Gomez in the army paylist. Of late the general has been in poor health. Ho Betting on Races in Texas. Houston, Tex. Nov. ll.-The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed today, without reservation, the constitution? ality of the new State law, prohibit? ing betting on horse racing in tne State of Texas. Both the better and the acceptor of the wager are punish? able, and the Cor rt decides that the legislature is within its province in providing different penalties for the two classes. The pool rooms of the State are now closed, excepting at Dallas, and they are preparing to re? open there. The law was aimed origi? nally at them, but they have found a way to evade it and only the race tracks are affected. Ask your Minister about ''Fewer gal? lons : wears longer."

Boston, Mass. Nov. 12.-President Roosevelt's name and his action in the so-called Miller open shop case, was brought before the Convention cf the American Federation of Labor today, when several delegates critised his de? cision not to discriminate against non? union labor in Federal employment. The question came before the Conven? tion from the committee on resolu? tions in a report that a resolution on the "open|shop" issue be referred to the committe of the executive council. The substance of the resolution was that the "open shop," whether under private or Government control, "can? not be recognized by organized labor." Delegate J. M. Barnes, of Philadel? phia, president of the Cigar Makers International Union, declared that President Roosevelt's decision W?S a "slap in the face" for laboring people. President p. A. Hayes, of the Inter? national Association of Glass Blowers, defended the President's action. Eventually the resolution was recom? mitted to "the committae from which it originated. A resolution was adopted urging that the Government, construct all its ships in Government yards, on the ground that euch a policy was fairer to labor. Safeguard Against Accident.
