FISH AND MEAT? INSPECTION.
The Measures Adopted by Health Officer
Reardon to Regulate Sale of Perish?
able Articles.
The health officer seized 110 mullets
and 95 salt water bream Saturday.
I Under the rule adopted by the fish in?
spector all fish are picked over as
I soon as they are received, and any
spoiled fish " are separated and when
' the inspector arrive all of the fish are
inspected again, and the spoiled fish
are sent but of the city in the city
scavenger carts and buried. All the
seized fish are receipted for to the
dealer, and the shipping firm mnst
make good in fresh fish or cash or be
debarred from shipping any more to
Sumter. It sometimes happens that
one or two spoiled fish are in a lot of
good fish, but are frozen so hard that
it cannot be detected until sometime
after they are taken off the ice. The
fish placed on the market are inspect?
ed several times each day by the in?
spector, and the plice force keep a
sharp lookout and report any suspic?
ious fish to the inspector. Any spoil?
ed fish which are sold^wili be sent for
by the dealer and good fish given or
cash refunded. The dealer has noth?
ing to lose except possibly a customer,
and he therefore is interested in sell?
ing oh ly good fish. Report any spoiled
fish to the Health Officer as well as to
your fish dealer. All beef and pork and
sausages are inspected also, but the
Sumter beef markets are so well equip?
ped with cold storage fixtures that it
is seldom that any meat is spoiled, ex?
cept an occasional cow head, which
are not put in cold storage. All spoil?
ed meats are carted off by the city
carts. Any fmerchant who receives
spoiled vegetables, frutits, canned
goods or meats or any other perish?
able goods should tura them over to
the health officer and take his receipt
and get his cash refunded.
The food inspection system in Sum?
ter is pretty systematically conducid
and is a safeguard which is of consid?
erable importance to the dealer as
well as to the consumers.

THE FESTIVAL TAKIMG SHAPE.
The Central Committee Began Work Last
Night and the Outlook is Bright.
NOVEMBER 22-25 THE DATES.
From the Daily Item, Sept. 8.
The fall festival movement is mak?
ing headway as rapidly as possible,
but in undertakings of this character
? the preliminary arrangements always
take time and the formulation of gen?
eral plans and providing the ways and
means are of more importance than
the detail work that follows.
The central committee met at S
o'clock last night with Chairman S.
C. Baker, Abe Ryttenberg, D. J.
Cbaudler, J. H. Levy, W. B. Boyle,
R. L Manning, Edgar Skinner, H. G.
Osteen and E. L Reardon present.
The fall fesival was discussed in a
general way and a plan by which rhe
necessary funds can be raised was
agreed upon. The committee will
meet again on Monday night to per?
fect the plan for financing the fes?
tival and the collection of funds will
begin the next day. The provisional
list of attractions discossed last night
will provide amusement for as many
thousand people as come, and it goes
without saying that there" will be
thousands of visitors here during fes?
tival week. It was decided to have
the festival during the week begin?
ning November 21st and that the star
attractions will be reserved for Thanks?
giving Day.
Among the attractions suggested
were a Firemens Tournament, with
the biggest prizes ever offered in this
State ; a football game between two
crack teams; a horse and cattle show,
automobile races ; an old time tour?
nament, a trades display, fireworks,
free balloon ascensions and other free
shows, besides several new and novel
features that will be annnounced later.
Everything will be free. The city
will be kept free of fakirs, fake shpws
and similar nuisances, and there will
be no likeness or similarity in any
way between the festival we propose
having and the street fairs and carni?
val shows that have been held in this
State in recent years.
GAMPASQN FONDS FROM RAILROADS.
Immense Sums Contributed to Re?
publican Party in 1896.
Walter Wellman in September Success.
Much has been written of the power
of railroad corporations in our politics.
lt is true that in many States certain
railways maintain a political staff.
With them it is a business matter.
They seek to protect their property
from the unjust exactions of legisla?
tures and public officials. It must be
remembered that a certain class of pol?
iticians and legislators is constantly
endeavoring to "strike" railroads.
That is, certain people get up adverse
bills and demand pay for defeating or
dropping them. The railroad officials
fight fire with fire. Sometimes they
stop blackmail by gathering within
their own control the power which,
shall make attempts at blackmail
harmless. Being thus led into politi?
cal activity in self-defense, now and
then a railroad having on its, staff
men of genius for politics overplays
its hand and seeks to control with ab?
solute sway the actions of one or both
of the parties within a State, setting
up or pulling down men 'at will.
Doubtless it is true that in at least
one-third of the States railroad influ?
ence is paramount in the affairs of one
or both cf the political parties, but it
is not directly through the use of
money that these roads operate. The
nass-the little pink slip of magic
L ^rm-is their instrumentality. Lm
a> ^e the persuasiveness of free trans
x nation in the tribe of politicians
who are ever on the move from town
to town, attending local and State
conventions and fixing up their little
schemes. In many a State a politician
who pays his fare is a curiosity. The
railroad pass is one of the potentiali?
ties of government in our great and
glorious country.
. Twenty years ago the manager of a
presidential campaign who had in
hand a fund of three or four hundred
thousand dollars to defray the expen?
ses of his operations though himself
opulent. Gradually the sum required
by national committees grew s.ud grew,
until, in 1896, high-water mark was
reached by the late Marcus A. Hanna
in bis manipulation of the campaign
for William McKinley. Through Mr.
Hanna's hands, tbat year,passed a sum
falling a little under ?6,000,000. I am
well aware that the amount has been
often given much higher figures,reach?
ing, in some instances, to ?15,000,000
or 816,000,000. W. Bourke Cockran
said in the house of representatives,
last spring, when his own campaign
expenses were under discussion, that
he understood that Mr. Hanna had
used total of about $15,000,000. But
my information comes from good au?
thority. The actual sum raised and
expended by Mr. Hanna was within a
few thousands of the sum I have
named.
There is little doubt that, if it bad
been deemed necessary to compass the
defeat of William J. Bryan, twice as
much could have been raised. So great
was the alarm among men of means
over the danger which menaced thc
standard of values that all Mr. Hanna
had to do was to write down on a slip
of paper the amount he thought a
bank, a corporation, or an individual
shoi.ld pay, and in nearly every in- j
stance the assigned sum was promptly
checked to Cornelius N. Bliss, the
treasurer of the committee. The
largest subscription. I have been told,
came from an insurance company and
amounted to 8200,000. One railroad
company gave 8100,000. Eight or ten
railway companies subscribed one
foutb as much each. Probably a hun?
dred or more banks and trust compa?
nies sent their checks for from $10,
000 to $20,000 apiece.
Two soldiers en route to Manassas
were killed on the railroad in North
Carolina Saturday night. One was a

pany and the identity of the other,
who was found on the track near
Fayetteville, has not been ascertain?

SUMTER'S CLAIM.
The Sumter Side of the Controversy with
Lee County Over the Debt to Sumter.
From one who is well advised on the
subject, the following facts are learn?
ed concerning the Sumter-Lee county
controversy :
The claim of Sumter county against
the county of Lee aggregates approxi?
mately about 88,600, which claim has
frequently been presented to Supervi?
sor Durant, of Lee county, for pay?
ment. The plea of wanting time to
have a meeting of the County Board
of Commissioners, to obtain legal ad?
vice, and to await the presentation of
the claim of Kershaw county was re?
peatedly interposed, until Mr. Jen?
nings, the attorney for Sumter coun?
ty, was weary of the delay.
According he went to Bishopville,
accompanied by Supervisor Seale,
and presented his claim in person,
and he was informed by Supervisor
Durant that the claim could not be
considered without some action on
the matter by the Lee County Com?
missioners, and he was inofrmed that
all of the commissioners were out of
town. At the same time, Mr. Dn
rant assured him of his willingness to
pay the claim if he could consult with
any one of the members of the com?
mission wuom, he said, were all away.
.But strange to sav, Commissioner
Moore was found in Bishopville, and
had never left the town. He was seen
by Mr. Jennings, and taken to Mr.
Durant's office. Then the Supervisor
of tiie county of Lee desired to consult
his attorney; he was sent for (?), but
never put in an appearance. At the
suggestion of Mr. Jennings, a meet?
ing was arranged for the following
Thursday, with the understanding,
that the members of the county com?
missioners should be present.
The meeting was held; Mr. Jen?
nings again urged the payment of the
claim, and the commissioners seemed
willing to pay it. At the suggestion
of ?Mr. Kelley, however, a private
meeting was held by the Supervisor,
Commissioners, and Attorney of Lee
county, and after fifteen minutes de?
liberation, Mr. Jennings w*s inform?
ed that they would let hirr ?now by
the l?h of September, whether or not
they would pay the claim. Mr. Jen?
nings thanked-them, and promised that
he would get that information before
that time. Thus the law suit, and the
story ot li whole hog or none. "
Why the Money Was Not Paid Over at
Once to Sumter.
A good deal bas been said pro and
con about the Supervisor of Lee coun?
ty refusing to pay his claim to Sum?
ter.
It is a long story that ,can be made
short. Tbe Legislature appointed a
commission to verify and adjust all
claims between Lee county and the old.
counties from which she was formed
and as such make an official report of
what Lee county owed each one.
Sumter's claim, we understand, alone
is about $8,000 and Kershaw about
$5,000 or 86,000. Mr. L. D. Jen?
nings, Attorney for Sumter county,
came over with Supervisor Seale and
demanded a settlement in full. Hon.
M. L. Smith of Camden also had
been over here and advised the Super?
visor not to pay over any money until
thc settlement by the commission was
made complete. Supervisor DuRant
told both parties he had only 810,000
in the bank to meet these claims and
would pay each one her pro rata share
as far as the money would go. To
any unprejudiced man, that was a Jair
and just proposition. But it did not
please Sumter and she wanted the
whoie hog or a law suit and she got
the latter. We tave not heard as yet
the results of the proceedings before
Judge Purdy.
The 810,000 is deposited in the bank
and caniiot be used for any other pnr
pse and the Supervisor is ready and
willing to pay it out upon the proper
vouchers.-Lee County Vindicator.

Practica! Education.
Mr. Editer: The Sunday State con?
tained an editorial nnder the above
caption which, it seems to ns, is apt
to be misconstrued aud hence to do
much harm, not so much from what
was said, most of which was good in
its way, but from certain inferences
which the average reader would al?
most certainly draw therefrom. The
writer begins by quoting from an im?
aginary questioner this query: "If
you had a son about 17 years old and
ready for college would you let him
take French and German or some?
thing he would \bave more practical
use tor?" He then goes on to define
practical things as "things for which
he will have most frequent use in
life." He then says truly enough
that "the things that shall be most
practical for our sons, after ail, will
not be a knowledge of any one or sev?
eral things, but a mind, clear and
discriminating and well balanced and
comprehending and along with that the
love of truth and justice and right?
eousness to guide the mind like a com?
pass, " &c. Having started out with
the question whether the 17 year old
boy shall study the practical or the
useless, of which French and German
are merely examples, and having end-,
ed by saying that the boy needs some?
thing else more than he does practical
knowledge the practical conclusion
which the parent is apt to draw is that
the boy had better study the useless
things than the practical things. It
is almost impossible not to think that
the writer intended to have this prac?
tical inference drawn from his article.
Else, why did he not state explicitly
that the desirable traits in our boys
were much more apt to be acquired in
acquiring a useful store of informa?
tion than a useless one.
Is the writer of that editorial one of
those queer theorists of a past age who
thought that the best mental equip?
ment for life was to be obtained by
cramming the mind with things that
didnJt equip it? Does he think that
a sweet disposition and a lofty sense
of honor and a smiling, happy face
would be better produced by a diet of
saw dust and pine needles than by one
of bread and meat and milk and eggs?
Does he think that a lawyer would
be better equipped for his business
by sudying law or,by reading the Chi?
nese hieroglyphics from a side street
laundry? Has he never seen enough
of the world to -know that the men
who bave by years of patient toil
mastered the practical in some line
are much morefcommonly also endow?
ed with the desirable traits enumera?
ted in the above quotation? Is there
in bis opinion, a probability that a
man whose years up to 30, have been
pottered away in learning useless
things yill be morally superior to one
whose yearsfhave been spent in learn?
ing to do something that needs doing?
We do not imagine, for a moment
that the editor of the State is as silly
as these questions seem to intimate.
We merely state the absardity of the
conclusions which his article may
allow some reader to draw.
There used to be ah idea now gen?
eral everywhere and even yet linger?
ing here and there in certain "cranial
nooks and corners, that culture was a
thing to be had directly and immedi?
ately by studying certain things rather
than others. The idea is on a par
with the idea that happiuessis a
thing that one can go for and bring
home in a gallon bucket or a crocus
sack, but culture and happiness are
flowers. You can't get the perfect
flower without the perfect plant, and
if you want them to bloom in your
front yard you must get down in the
dirt and do a good deal of digging
and sweating around the root of the
plant. So if you want a well rouuded
man or woman either, high toned,
morally, delightful socially, and use?
ful generally, you can only get him
or ber by equipping the boy or girl
for filling efficiently some place where
the world's work is done. Culture of
any other kind is a wax flower, an
empty rose, a painted ship upon a
painted Rea.
So, to answer the question which
the State asked but did not answer we
would say : Let your boy take some?
thing useful. If French and German
are useless or will be relatively use?
less to him, omit them. Don't imagine
that the kind of culture and character
you would like your boy to have are
going to be produced by a smattering
of dead languages. That idea is a dead
fetish. Find out what thing in life
your boy is best adapted to do and let
him learn to do it, and do it better
than others can do it. There is noth?
ing in all this world so useful in mak?
ing c- aracter as years of arduous pre?
paraci?n spent in learning how to be
useful to the world and to do some
one thing well which the world needs
done. And he can learn to do this one
thing only by doing it and not some?
thing else. No mau ever learned to
play the fiddle by beating the drum,
and no boy ever became nseful and
great by learning to do useless things.
The talk about a Carnival week
taking money out of town is all bosh.
Some of the individual who advance
that argument ;,ro off several "times
each year with thousands of other
home people to Columbia, Charleston
and Augusta to attend Carnivals, and
they spend ten times more cash in
other places for fun than a much bet?
ter Carnival would cost at home. They
help to make Carnival week "a good
thing" for Charleston as is evident by
those cities holding a Carnival week
annually, hut they cannot afford to
spend a nickel to make a successful
Carnival at home.
Beforeday Club Myth.
Tallahassee, Fla.. Sept. 9.- The
coroner's jury winch met this morning
to inquire into the killing cf County
School Supt. Eppes found that Mr.
Eppes came to his death from gunshot
wound, the shot fired by Isham Ed?
wards. Edwards was held for murder
and Caldwell and Larkins were held
as accessories before the fact.
No evidence was introduced to show
the existence of "Beforeday" clubs
though one witness testified to going
to church after midnight. Excitement
is subsiding. It is believed that the
murder was commited for robbery and
the existence of Beforeday clubs! is
beginning to be doubted.
