By I. C. Strauss,
Attorney.
Mr. Stubbs aaked if the promise had
not been made that the Sumter Tele?
phone Co., wuld not sell to the Bell
Company, If the Increase in rates was
granted. Mr. Strauss said such prom?
ise had been made and was now of
record on Council Minutes but that no
further written promise would he
made, as his own stock might be sold
to jome other person and he could not
bind others. He further said that his
company will do anythirg within rem
son that Council ?desires, would agree
not to sell for a definite period If
Council will permit an additional
increase of 50 centa on rates when the
exchange has 1,000 subscribers. There
Is no Intention to sell to the Bell Com?
pany and thinks there should be as?
surances given by Coucll against un?
reasonable demands through pique or
an individual complaint. Mr. H. C.
Haynsworth said that he had always
been opposed to an Increase of rates
and haa not changed his mind, but
In view of tbe resolution adopted by
Council on Aug. 25th. there was noth?
ing left to do, but to grant the request
of the company, they having complied
with the requirement. He therefore
moved that the previous action of
Council be confirmed and the privilege
of Increasing rates on residence phones
to two dollars per month be granted.
This resolution was adopted. Mr. Pinn
voting no.
Mr. Isaac M. Monk asked the priv?
ilege of selling confetti on Carnival
grounds at the Ball Park. His request
was refused.
Mr. Barnett for the Finance Com?
mittee reported that the Clerk and
Treaaurer's report for October had
been examined and found correct.
That all claims referred to them had
been approved.
Mr.H. C. Haynaworth for the com?
mittee reported that he had only one
bid for the cranea to be used in con?
nection with the street sprinkler, and
suggested that the Water Commission
might have the work done for the city.
The matter was left in hands of the
committee with power to act.
Mr. Haynsworth presented a state?
ment of expenses and products of the
city farm, showing $987.60 worth of
corn, fodder, oats and hay made and
gathered at an expense of $495.60, be?
sides great improvement of the land.
Council thought an excellent showing
had been made.
Mr. H. C. Haynsworth presented a
request from the Cemetary Associa?
tion for the privilege of using clay
from sewer trenches on walks and
drives of the cemetery. Coutncil dis?
cussed the request and concluded that
the clay was more necessary on sand
streets which had been ordered Im?
proved. And they could not therefore
grant the request.
Mr. B. F. Haynsworth, as chairman
of the Sewerage Commission offered
to turn over to the city, a pair of
mules and a wagon bought by the
cm mission, and hike credit for their
value on the sewerage expense ac?
count. The matter was referred to
Mr. Barnett and the mayor to make
such disposition of these mules as they
think best, and alao to buy a pair of
mules If necessary.
Mr. Llgon for the Police Committee
reported that the winter uniforms are
expected daily. And that they had
found it necessary to employ extra
m#>n on account of the Carnival shows
at the Baseball Park. These extra
men to be paid for as heretofore by
the BJMOciation. The report was con?
firmed.
Mr. R. F. Haynsworth stated that
the Farmers Bank and other property
owners ask that a sewer line be laid
at the rear of their buildings, at their
expense, under direction of the city
engineer. Mr. H. C. Haynsworth urg?
ed that the alley at the rear of the
court house is a public highway with
building! <?n both sides of It, and the
sewer asktd for should be laid at the
city's expense as soon as tltlesaremnde
I i the olty, Mr. Stubbs expressed the
Opinion that |g a bad precedent and
mistaken policy to lay this Hne? whleh
Will parallel the Main street sewer.
Mr Llgon moved that notion be de?
ferred until next meeting, as no time
Would be lost, because Council would
have to wait that long for the titles
and the matter should be carefully
considered. Mr. Ltgon'l motion Wan
defeated and the original motion pre?
vailed.
Mr. Finn, as Chairman of the Fire
Department Committee, reported that
Hose Co. No. 2, building Is decaying
and should be repaired or a new
biilfdlnr erected But no action was I
jt.i!..n
? Mr. a. f. Rayngwortk celled attei
tion to damage to trees and inconven?
iences suffered by citizens by reason of
buildings rolled through the streets
from one site to another and It was
resolved hereafter no buildings shall
be moved except by consent of Coun?
cil, under proper regulations
Mr. Stubbs stated that his Special
Committee was in correspondence with !
the railroad officials in reference to
gates at crossings and was granted
further time to report.
A letter from the Board of Health
suggested: First, That sewer tank
openings be covered with solid iron
covers, to keep out flies and mosqui?
toes. Second, That the Sewerage Or?
dinance be amended to require bonnets
over vent pipe baskets to prevent
freezing. Third, That Turkey Creek
be cleared of obstructions so as to se?
cure an uninterrupted flow of water
The letter was received as information
and disposed of as follows: 1st, Re?
ferred to the Sewerage Commission for
action. 2nd, To the Clerk, to prepare
the necessary amendment. 3rd, Ac?
tion was deferred until the city can se?
cure services of the chalngang.
All claims approved by the Sewer?
age Commlsp'on were ordered paid.
The Ordinance to Prevent Obstruc?
tion of Streets by Cars and Engines
was discussed and referred to the
Special Committee consisting of Mess.
Stubb, Ligon and Finn.
Reports of the Sewerage Commis?
sion and Commissions of Public Work*

MORSE DENIED BAIL.
Application Refused by Court "With?
out Prejudice."?The "Ice King"
Disappointed.
New York, Nov. 10.?Bail was de
n'.ed Charles W. Morse, the flanancier,
who has been sentenced to 15 years'
lmproleonment at hard labor, at the
closing of the United States circuit
court of appeals today and it now
seems certain that the former multi?
millionaire must remain in the Tombs
prison at least until December, next,
when argument on the writ of error
that has been granted may come up
One loophole Is left open to Morse's
counsel In the decision, and that Is
that the Judges decided that while
ball was denied, it was done so "with?
out prejudice to renewal of the appli?
cation after a bill of particulars Is
filed."
Morse had been hopeful of gaining
his release from the Tombs today and
the denial of bail came as a hard blow.
His wife and son Harry encouraged
him in the belief that he would be free
by nightfall.
While Morse tried to hide his dis?
appointment, he felt too cast down to
do so.
There Is one feature of the case that
Is particularly disagreeable to Morse.
That Is that no matter how long he
is compelled to remain a prisoner in
the Tombs, the time will not count as
part of the 16 years he must serve in
the federal prison at Atlanta In case
he loses his fight for a new trial.
Judge Hough gave his reason for
refusing to admit Morse to bail, that
the case was not an extraditable one
and that It would be easy for Morse
to furnish bail through a bonding com?
pany, as the prisoner was worth $22.
000,000. Morse in an affidavit pre?
sented to the Judges of the United
States Court of Appeals yesterday de?
nied that he was a millionaire.
SITUATION AT WINTHROP.
Columbia, Nov. 11.?Superintendent
Martin la back from Rock Hill, where
the board of trustees and State board
of health ha.o been holding meetings
looking into the checking of the
spread of typhoid fever at Winthrop.
Mr. Martin said today that the situ?
ation remains much the same as a few
days ago.
About ninety girls have already left
Winthrop, and every day telegrams
come from parents requesting that
their daughters be given permission to
come home. However, the recnt dis?
missals from the infirmary have had
a quieting Influence upon the student
body, and the girls do not appear
greatly agitated.
The board of health If exerting per?
sistent efforts to find the source of in?
fection, and Is now attempting to char
up the matter by means of elimina?
tion. The water supply has been
abandoned and city water is being
used. The milk has been stopped.
Flies are being trapped and everything
possible is being done to ascertain the
cause of the epidemic.
The period of Incubation is from ten
to twenty-one days, and if no new
cases develop within that number of
day* after the precautionary measures
above mentioned were taken, the situ?
ation wiii then be hand an the
epidemic will hare ooend

The races yesterday afternoon were
all exciting and taken as a whole the
first day of the Fall Meet was as fine
an exhibition of racing as we could
wish to witness. Some of the very
best and speediest horses In the south
today were entered and each and ev?
ery event was fought out to a finish
More than one of the races was so
close that the result was In doubt up
to the very instant the flying racers
came under the wire. Those who love
excitement got it in abundance yes?

well managed and the rules are being
firmly enforced.
The efforts of the Sumter Racing
Association to give tho people of this

witnessed by a much larger crowd
than was present on Tuesday, the fame
of the exciting sport of the first day

for the place, and to him is due great
praise for manner in which the races
have been conducted.

INFORMATION FOR FARMERS.
Methods of Deallag With Com Wee.
vils and Other Insects Injurious to
Stored Grain.
During the growing season corn is
attacked by various insect pests.
While this plant can withstand insect
attacks quite successfully under fa?
vorable conditions of growth, yet it
succumbs very easily under adverse
growing weather. While these pests
that attack the growing plant are
fluctuating from year to year it must
always be remembered that when the
grain is harvested and carried to the
cribs it comes face to face with the
granary pests. Unless proper pre?
cautions are taken every season
these granary pests cause enormous
losses to the stored corn?losses far
greater than are inflicted by the pests
that attack the living plants in the
fields. Every practical farmer knows
that these stored grain pests are
ever present where ever corn or other
grain is stored In cribs that are not
weevil proof. This problem of "weevil
In corn" is vividly before the farmers
now as is plainly shown by the letters
reaching the Station Entomologist's
laboratory on that subject.
We are here summarizing and dis?
cussing the methods used by practical
men for controlling these pests and It
Is hoped that every corn grower will
practice as many of these methods a*
possible not only this winter but
every year. We will then be able to
save at least the larger portion of the
corn that is now being ruined annual?
ly.
It appears superfluous to emphasize
the nature of the damage by stored
grain Insects, but briefly stated. It
amounts to the following: Infested
grain is unfit for human consumption,
serious cases of illness caused by it
having been reported. It is undesirable
for steck food, it having been experi?
mentally proved that horses are injur?
ed by it. It Is unfit for seed because the
young germinating plant Is deficient
In food supply and a diminution of the
crop Is very apt to be the result.
The principal insect enemies to
stored grain in this State are the rice
weevil and the Angemois grain moth.
The former is well known, being a
blackish beetle with a long snout or
proboscis having four more or less dis?
tinct red spots on the back. The wee
Vtlfl about the size of the rice weevil
but of a uniform brown color, fre?
quently met with in grain bins, arf
granary weelvils. These granary wee?
vils during long years of domestication
have lost the use of their wings hence
are severely handicapped in migrating
from crib to crib or between the crib
and Held. The rice weevil hag wall
developed wings and knows he w to
use them to advantage. Of the wee?
vils it is. therefore, the rice wcvil
that chiefly concern us.
The other notorious pest is the grain
moth, which resembles ft. small but?
terfly with wings folded. It files with
the ease of a house fly and like the
rice weevil begins its work of destruc?
tion la Ifta HeTd.
The wevlli lay theli <?gp* la the]
seed where the young larva eats Ins
starch; when full grown it change* to
the dormant or pupa Mage, from
which the 'ull grown weevil emerge*
and works its way out to lay the eggs
for another brood. The time from egg
laying to full grown weevil requires
about tlx weeks.
The life history of the moth is slm
[!sr to that of the weevils, except that
the eggs are not laid inside of the
seed.
The methods that oontrol one will
control the others and as the farmers
are at present looking principally for
a method to control the pests in corn
already in the crib the carbon bisul?
phide method is here discussed.
Carbon bisulphide, sometimes called
"high life" is a colorless liquid with
a strong disagreeable odor. It vapor?
ises rapidly at ordinary temperatures,
is highly inflammable and when ignit?
ed is explosive. This may appear
dangerous but it Is not if you keep
away Are or any kind whether flame,
stove, lantern, embers, lighted pipe,
cigar or any other means for convey?
ing fire of any kind. This chemical
is widely used at present, people ob?
serving the cautions given above. It
may be purchased at any drug store
or chemical wholesale house at about
10 cents per pound. This liquid and
vapor coming from it is heavier than
air and will sink. Therefore the ap?
plication is made at the top of the crib
and not from below.
Assuming that the crib is moderate?
ly tight it is used at the rate of one
pound to every 100 bushels of grain.
It may be poured in several shallow
vessels and these set in various place
over the top of the grain or it may
be applied by sprinkling it like water
over the surface. In tight bins the
sprinkling method is convenient and
effective, but in open, leaky bins the
vessels are recommended.
When the bin is open it should be
made tight if possible. In case of log
cribs this may be accomplished by
means of canvas tacked over the
walls. Assuming that a farmer nesire-s
to treat an open crib ';.~ following
method is suggested.
Instead of sprinkling the chemical
over the surface or distributing it is
shallow vessels it is poured Into large
bottles with narrow necks and these
are buried in the upper surface of the
grain near the middle, leaving them
uncorked. The liquid will escape slow?
ly killing the insects nearer the cen?
ter while those near the walls may es?
cape to the outside of the building.
The writer has frequently witnessed
this when fumigating log cribs. The
liquid should be used at the rate of
two to three pounds per 100 bushels
and when the insects escape many of
them may be trapped by corn placed
in different places about the building
for this purpose. Later this com may
be fumigated like seed grain described
below.
Where only a small quantity >f
grain is to be fumigated, such as seed
corn, it may be accomplished by pour?
ing it in a coal oil or whiskey barrel.
Such a barrel will accommodate about
three bushels. Three ounces of car?
bon bisuphlde is poured over the sur?
face and the barrel tightly closed for
twenty-four to thirty-six hours. The
opening of the barrel may be made
perfectly tight by covering it with sev?
