TIE OBSTACLES TO A SEWERAGE
SYSTEM.
Letter of Council 10 Board OF Health
Other Matters Before Board.

At a meeting of the City Board OF
Health, held last night, Health
Officer Reardon was directed to request
Superintendent Of Schools Edmunds to
require all pupils in the city schools
who have not been successfully vacci-
mated, heretofore, to be yaccinated at
once.
The city will bear the expense of
vaccinating only those children whose
parents are not able to pay for hav-
ing it done. In the case of such chill
dren city Physician Archie China
will vaccinate them free when request
ed to 90 so by Supt. Edmunds. All
others will be vaccinated at the actual
cost of the vaccine points-about 6 OR
7 cents.
The subjoined letter from the City
Council in reply to q request from the
Board of Health to have survey Of
the city made for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the cost of a sewerage system
was received as information. Inas-
much as the letter contains much in
formation that is of public interest
and that bear directly upon the ques-
tion of sewerage in which the people
of the city are so thoroughly interest
ed. The Board of Health in compliance
with the wish of the City Council, In
structed the Health Officer to furnish
the press with a copy for publication.

thereby get our city taxes up to twenty
mills instead of fourteen we are now
levying, and which to the majority of
taxpayers is burdensome enough if we
may judge from their declarations at
time Of payment. Council desires to
build up the business interests and
general prosperity of the city, but do
not think it can be done by forcing
taxes up to the point where citizens
will feel oppressed and outsiders will
be loath to come among US under such
conditions. [ have gone thus into de-
tails, because it is just to the council
that the reasons for their position
should be known, and because all our
citizens have right to know what
those reasons are. They at last must
approve or disapprove the attitude Of
council in this important matter.

Travels of a Big Circus.

The Great Wallace Show is such a
mammoth aggregation that it is COM
PEELED TO visit points of the country
where it is sure of liberal patronage.
This fact requires it to travel from
twenty thousand to thirty thousand
miles annually, visiting only the big
cities and the larger towns which are
surrounded by productive territory.
But whether it be in an Eastern city
or in the prosperous town on western
prairie the Wallace Show is fully cap
able of pleasing the crowds in either
place. Even in Washington City, D.
c., the home of the official dignitaries
and political aristocrats of the nation.
place where some people might think
circus world not attract, the Great
Wallace Show was unable to accom-
modate the crowds. The Washington
Post said:
eff there is any city which is a bet
ter show town than the National Capt.
tai, it is not down on the map. The
Wallace Show pleased two big throngs
yesterday, many people being turned
away. The circus was success both
for the management and for those who
wanted good entertainment. The city
was turned over almost entirely to the
big attraction. The program COM
menced promptly and in earnest from
the start. No one but the child whose
first visit it was to circus could pos
sibly tell all that was done. Hardly
anything could have been more Won
derful than the acrobatie feats per-
formed by the Justly celebrated Nelson
Family, and especially of the fve-year-
old tot.
The Great Wallace Show will exhibit
in Sumter, on Saturday, Oct. u.

of catching them. Why should our
correspondent want to get them out OF

They will not eat his garden seed or
vegetables. 1t is the grubs and worms

Of the inquirer's garden, and the
ground moles are eating up these enc
mics of the garden. There is no more
voracious carniverous animal known
than the mole. If he is deprived Of
his favorite bugs and worms, he will
attack and eat animals of nearly his
own size and strength.
If my reading is right, the mole is
the friend of the gardener, not the
enemy. He is to be invited to assist
in successful gardening, not hunted
and killed. Atlanta Journal.

A LOSS TO THE SOUTH.

In the death of Col. A. II. Belo,
of the Dallas and Galveston
News, the South, and especially
his adopted State, Texas, has
sustained a heavy loss.
Col. Belo was a native of North
Carolina, and served through the
Civil War with the North Caros
lima troops. He went into the ar
my as a captain, and for distings
uished g%allantry was promoted
to be a full colonel. He was
wounded at Gettysburg and Cold
Harbor.
After the surrender, Col. Belo
rode on horseback to Texas,
where he shortly became cons
nected with the Galveston News.
Later he bought an interest in
the paper, aud in 1875, Col. Belo
found himself in sole control.
He was the first man to dup,i-
cate issues of a newspaper at
two widely separated cities; the
success of the Galveston News
and the Dallas News proved his
wisdom.
AS a man of affairs, he held
place in the very front rank, al
ways for the right, and strictly
impartial. Such men as he are
all too few, and the newspaper
world, even to the many who had
not his personal acquaintance,
feel a sense of personal bereave-
ment.

Brosci was a member of q body
of Paterson anarchists, known as
the right of existence group. He
tore his underclothing into strips
and made a rope with which he
strangled himself. He was dead
when found. Solitary copfno-
ment and torture to which he was
subjected had driven him mad, On
Tuesday night he wrote letters to
his wife, the Government and to
King Victor Emanuel. They were
found in his cell after he killed
himself, In those letters he said
that he fepented his crime and
could not survive his remo~se.
His letter contained a revelation
of the plot.
