MIX-UP ON PAVING PLA>f. Camoun Street Citlsens Dissatisfied wttfc Council's Pavement Program. City Council met Saturday after? noon to hear Calhoun street citlsens who are dissatisfied with the plan of pavement formulated by City Council for Calhoun street, the hearing result? ing in a decision to postpone any fur? ther work on the street until the clti sena of Calhoun street are further heard from. A petition was presented by resi den4e>of -the f*r*eV ??^kt?g that Coun? cil lay the curb on tlw> street as near to the trees as it could conveniently be laid and to fill in the apace between the pavement and the curbing with clay or gravel. In case this request was hot agreed to by Council, the pe? titioner* asked that the original pe? tition be wlthdarwn, in which case nothing would be done to the street. Messrs. Oeo. D. Shore, Dr. J. H. Morse, Dr. W. Cheyne and Mr. M. Reynolds were heard on the subject, which was discussed fully with Coun? cil. At Se conclusion of the discussion on mot. n of Mr. Rowland, Council declined to accede to the request of the citlsens to place the curbing away from the pavement. It was decided, however, that citlsens should secure a petition asking that the street be pav? ed for a width of thirty feet, which no doubt Council will agree to as it has already agreed to a similar petition for Washington street. This petition to widen the pave? ment to thirty feet was handed in to the city clerk this morning and Council will probably have another meeting in the next few days to consider it. It was also learned that citlsens of Church street desire a thirty foot width on their street and will present a petition to this effect In the next few days. The paving question is receiving much discussion on all sides and meanwhile the work is steadily pro? gressing on various streets. In some places the sidewalks are being laid and In others the curbing and con crete base for the aspahlt are being put down. The spreading of the as? phalt on Harvln street will probably commence tomorrow or next day. GOVERNOR NAMES DILLON AUDI? TOR. Maiming Appoints John W. Gsddy of I aim. Columbia, May 28.?John W.

Hearing on Exception Sheet No. 9 Tomorrow 6t VitaV interest to Biis incHH Men. Chairman B. F. McLeod, of the State Freight Rate Association has sent out from his office in Charles? ton an* urgent appeal to the business men of South Carolina to be in Co? lumbia tomorrow at the hearing be? fore the Railroad Commission utfon the question of the cancellation of Exception Sheet No. 9 and the sub? stitution of the Southern Classification instead. Secretary Reardon of the Suhlte.? Chamber of Commerce has bulletined the Pee Dee and Eastern Carolina towns and cities, and through the newspapers undertaker to awak< n in? terest in this matter. Chairman McLeod also writes thai after the hearing he wants to take up another very important matter with the business men. Sumter business men, wholesale. Jobbers, manufacturers, dealers in hardware of all description, Including vehicles, farm machinery, building supplies, lumber dealers, and in fact every class of commercial commodities should take enough interest in tomor? row's hearing ia the State library, at the capltol building, at 11:30 to go to Columbia. Thousands of dollars will be lost by unequitable and excessive freight rates, if the South Carolina Exception Sheet No. 9 is abolished. The wholesale, manufacturing, and retail business of this city will be se? riously crippled if this raise in freights is permitted. Other Pee Dee and Eastern Carolina towns have written that they appre? ciate the gravity of the situation and will have a good delegation in Co? lumbia tomorrow. Will Sumter's bus? iness meh be "on the Job" or will they sit down and hope that business meh of other South Carolina towns and cities will look after Sumter's inter? est? The State Freight Rate Asso? ciation officers wouldn't be placing so much importance upon the me.tter, and sending out hundreds of letters and telegrams, if the issue wasn't of Importance, and big delegations need? ed. TO DECREASE JAIL'S SIZE. Architect has to Draw up New Plans to Meet Fund Allowed. At a meeting of the Sumter t.jn ty Jail Commission yesterday after? noon, at which Mr. H. V. Walker, the architect was pv. sent, the matter of building the new Jail was discussed, and Mr. Walker was authorised to draw up a new set of plans for the building, the cost of the building ac? cording to the plans previously sub? mitted being considerably more than the amount allowed in the act author? ising the borrowing of funds to build a Jail. The original plans were for a build? ing forty-one by sixty-eight feet. The new plans are for a building thirty seven by fifty-four feet. The sum allowed under the act is $26,000, whereas the cost of a building ac? cording to the plans first submitted by Mr. Walker would be about $36, 000. The greater part of the cost Is for the steel which is needed for the building. Steel, as is well known, has practically doubled Its value since the outbreak of the war in Europe, so that if a jail is built now it wTl cost about one-fourth more than it would have cost beifore the war, the steel is about half of the cost of the building. PARK AT ORANGEBURG. Orangeburg, May 28.?The city of Orangeburg will purchase 2G acres from William C. Wolfe for a park. This site is on Russell street, the main street of orange burg, and also ad? joins other property of this city on Which is now being erected a $40,000 water, light and power plant. This is an ideal plaee for a park. It has a long stretch bordering on the Edlsto river. One bonier consists of a very high hill, which overlooks the entire park tract and at the foot of this hill Is a magnificent spring. A large part of this park tract Is ad? mirably suited for lakes and beautiful driveways. City Engineer Edward Hawes will likely have the matter of making the drawing for the parking of this site. The city will continue Amelia street through to the park and is now building a street from the wa? ter, light and power plant through this park tract. This 25 acre tract was purchased sevpral years ngo by William C. Wolfe at a cost of $200 per acre. He ha* generously offered the property to the city for $100 per acre, which offer was immediately accepted. Prob? ably no town has a more public spir? ited citizen than Orangeburg has In William C. Wolfe. Coker-Player. Miss litte Coker of Turbeville and Mr. Ingrain Player of Shlloh were married on Saturday afternoon In the Office of the clerk of court by Mr. C. M. Hurst, deputy clerk. iWittfclttfAftx* AnttArfGE^NTS C?ihiriit&es Appointed to Provide Ac <ommWatiohs ana*' Prbgrahi for Wesleyan Bible Class Federation. Trinity Methodist church of Sumter, through a meeting of some of Its of? ficials, with Pastor R. S. Truesdale, started the ball to rolling in definite style last Thursday morning by the appointment of a general or steering committee to make arrangements for the big State Federation of Bible classes which meets in Sumter oh July 3. 4 and 5. Those attending th? conference on preliminary arrangements were as fol? lows: Rev. R. S. Truesdale, D. D., pastor of Trinity Methodist church. W. W. Rowland, president McLeod Wesleyan Bible clas of Trinity church. F. D. Knight, Secretary. B. C. Wallace, Superintendent of Sunday School. L. D. Jennings, Chairman Board of Stewards. A. R. Flowers, Treasurer. C. M. Hurst, Teacher McLeod-Wes leyan Bible Class. General Committee Appointed. C. E. Hurst, Chairman; H. G. Mc? Kagen, W. B. Boyle, F. D. Knight, W. A Thompson. This committee was au thorised to appoint all other commit? tees needed. On next Sunday Super? intendent of Sunday School, B. C. Wallace will have an auxiliary com? mittee of ladles appointed to cooper? ate' In the entertainment and ar? rangements. Rev. J. M. Rogers, pastor of the Second Methodist church will on next Sunday appoint a committee from his congregation who will work, with Trin? ity Methodist church In a spirit of cooperation. Rev. Truesdale said that he desir? ed to express his appreciation of the splendid and friendly spirit of cooper? ation exhibited by the Sumter Cham? ber of Commerce towards helping in making this State-wide federation of Bible classes a delightful and success? ful affair, and that he felt sure he voiced the sentiment of his entire congregation in his expressions of ap? preciation. He requested that Secretary F. P. Knight, of the McLeod-Wesleyan Bible class, and Managing Secretary E. I. Reardon of the Cluunber of Commerce serve as a special committee on en? tertainment and publicity, and con? tinue to secure accommodations for the hundreds of visitors, working in cooperation with the general commit? tee of arrangements, and the special committees on homes to be appoint? ed later. Next Sunday's business session nf the McLeod-Wesleyan Bible Class will doubtless prove to be a busy business meeting, and there will be some in? teresting information disseminated re? garding the plans for entertainment of the federation. There will be plenty of work for all, men and women, and the forces will be appointed, Instruct? ed, and Inspired next Sunday. HON. T. G. MAKES AD? DRESS. Delivers Discourse to Rock Hill High School Graduates. [Ill Herald. Before an audience that completely filled the High School auditorium Fri? day evening Hon. T. G. McLeod, of Hi shop vi lie, former lieutenant govern? or, delivered an able and instructive address before the graduates. The speaker was heard with equal Interest by the patrons and friends as well. Mr. McLeod came to fill the engage? ment of Gov. Manning and right well did he peiform his duty. Those who contemplate building sanitary surface closets under the terms of the ordinance recently pass? ed by City Council will do well to con? sult the city health officer or some member of the board of health before they begin work on their closets, as by so doing they will probably be saved considerable on the cost of the work. The members of the board of health or health officer can give full directions for building the closet, so that it will cost little, and at the same time comply with the ordinance and all sanitary requirements. Every person who has these closets to erect should build them at once and should have them built according to specifi? cations qf the board, of health. Candidate's Cards.
