The following items from the Co? lombia Correspondence of the News and Courier would suggest work for a live Board of Trade, if Sumter had sccs an organization: At least two large manufacturing plants will probably be established in this state this fall if all of the arrange? ments are carried out. Commissioner Watson has received an inquiry from a manufacturer of lumber machinery at Quincy, Mich., as to the advantages of tiiis state, the railroads, taxes and other inform ition, and it is probable that he will inspect the available sites some time this fall. The other which, will be moved here is a big steel working plant, a branch of the Steel Trust, now in Indiana. The entire plant will be brought to this state and a representative of the company will be here next month to inspect the sites and find out i what town is willing td make the best offer.

P. Osteen, M. D. No. 18 W. Liberty St., (Overpsteen s Book Store), SUMTER, S. C CITY COUNCIL MEETING. City Council met at 6 o'lock Wed? nesday ovening with the following members present: Mayor Dick, Alder? men Barnett, Haynswerth, Hood, Hurst, Stubbs and Wilder. Minutes of July 13th were read and confirmed. Mr.. D. Z. Zeigler appeared before Council and stated that their action of July 13th in reference to his claim for services as architect in preparing steam heating plans for the Opera House,' had made an impression upon the public which is calculated to in? jure his professional reputation. He said he had done the work in good faith on what he supposed was proper authority; and without any purpose to force au unjust claim upon the city, which claim he does not mean to press, but desires Council to adopt a resolution which would remove the unfavorable impression which has been unintentionally crsated. After considerable discussion, the following resolution was unanimously adopted on motion of Messrs. Haynswortb and Hurst. "In deference to Mr. Zeigler's request Council is willing to admit, that while he was not authorized to prepare the heating plans ; yet there were circumstances which may have led him to conclude that plans were wanted from him. Council would say further that there was no intention to charge Mr. Zeigler with attempting to collect a fee for work which he knew was not authorized ; but rather than the mat? ter has come of an honest misunder? standing. " A letter was read from Health Offi? cer Reardon asking that he be provid? ed with a bicycle to enable him to get around more expeditiously in at? tending: to his constantly increasing duties. Same was referred to the police committee. The Mayor expressed appreciation of the promptness and faithfulness with which the Chairmen of Committees are attending to' business referred to them. He suggested that macadam should Ve laid to connect Main street with the clay roadway just completed on Maiming avenue, and the commit? tee of public works were requested to consider th? suggestion. The committee of public works re? ported work on ?urkey ' Creek complet? ed, an 3 asked that they be authorized to employ the laborers under Mr. Tribble in clearing the 'streets of weeds and grass. They were allowed to continue Mr. Tribble's force for one week. Mr. Haynsworth reported that the fire block to the Opera House had been condemned by an insurance in? specter and his committee was request? ed to have it put in proper condition. Mr. Hurst for fire department com ! mitten reported that? Mr. ?T. D. Shira had painted one of the hose wagons, but the committee had refused to ac? cept it, as they do not? think the work is done according to contract. He stated that Mr. Shira is willing to submit the matter to arbitration, or to inspection of the entire Council. The committee was authorized to set? tle the question according to their judgment by arbitration or otherwise, and c s soon as possible so that the wagon may be placed in service. The Supt: of Streets asked for 12 feet of drain pipe to be used in Tele? phone street in conveying water to the Main street drain. Referred to the committee of 'public works with power to act. Mr. Haynsworth reported that the work of laying drains was delayed be? cause of the difficulty in getting pipe promptly. Several claims were presented and referred to the finance committee. Council then adjourned. Viol)mt Attack of Diarrhoea Cured by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and Perhaps a Life Saved.

Crop Conditions Not Good- Negro Shoot j ing Scrape- Protracted Meeting j Personal Notes. ] Pisgah, Aug. 2.-Rains have fallen j on ali tbe dry places in the last ten j days. Too late for tbe old cern which is injured for the want of rain. Cot? ton is a big weed, but the bolls are not as thick as they ought to be. Of course people judge a crop by the size and not by what is on it. The show that the weeds makes is the crop, and it is for this reason that so many lies go abroad about a big crop. Corn is very tall this year, but tbe yield will only be an average one. Laying by is about done, which gives a few days rest to the farmers] before gathering commences, I don't think there will be much cotton to pick before Septem? ber. Watermelons are in abundance, more than I have "seen in years. There is no sale at value for them, so they are fed to the hogs. Some of my neigh? bors have them weighing 50 and 60 pounds. A factory to make syrup and sugar ont of them would probably pay. Vegetables of all kinds are in abund? ance. There is some sickness abont, most? ly cold and fever. Nothing serious as yet. Mr. Lnther A. Moore of the Darling? ton section of Lee county, was through here quite recently making calls on bis friends and acquaintances. Mr. Moore is a very pleasant gentle? man and we hope he will not make it so long, (two years) before he comes again. Mr. Frean Mellett, of Wedgefield, was through here last week. He came to see ns four years ago, and has kind? ly remembered ns again. He said they had suffered for rain in his section, and up to the time of his visit had very little since crops were planted. Rev. R. E. Peele, of Marion county, assisted the pastor, Rev. T. G. Phil? lips, in a meeting at Mizpah church last week. ? Mr. . Peele is an. able preacher, and gave the people some? thing to think abou$. It certainly is a benefit to any section to have a man of Mr. Peele's ability to preach in it. Nothing sensational about his preach? ing. An appeal to the reason, based on an argument that cannot be refut? ed, delivered in a tender manner, is his style. The protracted meetings that were to be held at Pisgah and Swift Creek chnrches were postponed to a future day. Mr. John Alfred McLeod, of Cy? press, Fla./' is visiting, relatives and friends here. This is his first visit since his removal, 13' years ago. Mr. McLeod is a good and true man, and his many friends are delighted to see him again. A shooting scrape occurred at a negro base ball game here las* Satur? day afternoon. The facts as I learn them are these : Earle Bracey was hit on the head by a ball, which missed the bat. Earle got bot and acensed the pitcher of hitting him purposely. Hack Logan took it up and started for Earle iu a threatening manner. Earle told him to halt, but he would not do so, so Earle shot him in the leg, about the knee, Richard Bennett got several shot in his .leg. Frank * Jones got one in his foot. After the shooting the crowd scattered and Earle weet home. The negro must be badly wounded, as the distance, was short and the gun good. Politics are booming in this section. Some of Lee county's candidates are on the war path for each other. I hope to enjoy the fun when ?be speak? ing commences. Nationally we have a fine candidate, but that won't elect him. The South has eot to give money as well as votes. The re publi? cans aie going to elect Roosevelt if money can do it, and they are going to pour it ont like water. All their differences will be adjusted before election day and they will vote as a nnit. We have got to buy Parker's election North if we elect him, howev? er repulsive it is to the sentiment of tue South to do so, but we will be forced to do so, and the sooner we learn it, the best for us. THE CHICAGO MEAT STRIKE. The Strikers to Cut OW fee From Retail Dealers. 1 Chicago, Aug. 3.-The threatened spread of the stock yards strike to outside industries came tonight when an order was issued by the Team? sters' union prohibiting drivers of ice wagons from making any deliveries to retail merchants, who since the pack? ing house teamsters went on strike have been hauling meat from the yards in their own wagons- As the refrige? rators in the meat markets do not hold enough ice to last longer than 48 hours, if the order cutting off the sup? ply of ice can be enforced it means that the majority of people in Chicago will be compelled to go on short rations as far as meat is concerned. The officials of the Teamsters' nnion have appointed pickets to watch the meat markets all over the city, and these men bava been instructed to see that the boycott is carried out to the limit. .Outside of the decision of the strik? ing unions to extend the strike to the ice men there was little change over yesterday in the situation at the stock yards. In , a riot which broke out at the yards tonight two policemen were in? jured and 28 rioters were arrested af? ter havng been beaten into subjection. WEEK END RATES.

A New Enemy of Upland Colton That May Prove Destructive. The appearance of cotton blight in tins section of the State is undoubt? edly a serions matter and it may ulti? mately be productive of as great or greater loss to the upland cotton grow? ers as tbe blight, or wilt as it is some? times called, has been to the growers of Sea Island cotton in the coast re? gion of this State. The blight was first observed in Privateer township a few days ago and Mr. H. Drane Tin? dal, of Tindals, who has made an in? vestigation in his vicintiy *or the pur? pose of ascertaining the extent to which the crop of his vicinity bas been affected, states that there is more or less diseased cotton on every farm in the community. The blight canses the cotton to wilt and the leaves shrivel turn red and drop off, leaving the stalks bare and stunted. The disease first apeared in irregular spots and the cotton presented so much the appearance of having been struck by lightning that no pacticular attention was paid to it, but when it began to spread and appeared in spots here and there in almost every field, the cotton was examined more closely and it was found to be dying gradu? ally. When the diseased stalks were pulled, up and the roots inspected it was found that th? woody portion of the roots were black and hard. On many of the roots there were nodular en? largements not found on the roots of healthy plants. Inquiry develops the fact that the new cotton disease ?3 not confined to the Privateer sections, but is some-' what prevalent in Providence township and in other parts of the county also. From the following article taken from the Columbia Eecord of the *3d instant it will be seen that the disease is also destroying cotton in the upper part of the State : ".Reports have been 'received from Greenville and Laurens county of a sort of blight which is destroying the cotton to a considerable extent. The blight appears to be a sort of mst, attacking the young leaves and caus? ing them in a few days to turn brown and die. Section Director Bauer when asked about the new enemy to? day said that it was probably a sort of fungus growth which is a sort of blight. There has been little so far in this State except in the sea .island, dis? tricts several years ago and when it was found that it was contagious it was killed out by letting the ground alone for a few seasons. While he had not received enough information about it to speak authoritatively he did not think it would do much damage now, that the crop was so far advanceed. "Here is what the Greenville News says of'it: , "Cotton plants in the fields extend? ing along the Augusta road, from this city almost as far as Princeton, in Laurens county, have been attacked by some kind of blight which resem bi3s rust, Jbut which appears to be far more pernicious and baneful in its effects, than either rust or what is usually known as blight. In fact, none of the planters, familiar with the various diseases to which the ! cotton plant in this section is heir, has the least idea what this new ene? my can be. It attacks the tender leaves, and in a few days they turn brown, wilt and die. The boll is not attacked and the new scourge is evi? dently not the celebrated and greatly dreaded weevil. First, small spots appear on the under side of the leaf. They grow thicker rapidly, as though innumerable little insects were feeding on the surface, and soon the entire leaf is brown and dead. It is not de? voured by the insect, or whatever the cause of. the destruction may be, but seems rather to be poisond. "Several farmers were in the city yesterday from the ?ffected area, and one of them exhibited two stalks of cotton which had been attacked by the pest. Many of the leaves were dead and others were becoming yellow and brown. The loss of the leaves was be? ginning to tell on the bolls and the plant generally which had been great? ly injured in the process of develop? ment. " ?
