Marion Noise, Esq, representing
Mr. c. c. Wilson, statea that the sew
erage map, drawings, &C., which had
been given to Mr. Wilson by the city
commissioners Of public works at the
time they contracted to employ him
as engineer of the sewerage system,
had been returned to him (Mr. Mo-
ise) TO be placed again in the hands
OF council. Mr.. Noise further stated
that. in view of the complications
-u,J;cJ, have arisen. Mr. Wilson had
authorized him to relieve the council
ef all embarrassment on his account,
by relinquishing his rights under his
contract with the commissioners Of
public works as if no contract had
been made, leaving the whole matter
with council to dispose of as they
think best. A resolution was adopted
expressing thanks to Mr.. Wilson for
his kind action.
Request of doe Bodtin for annual
license as peddler for the year, at
less rates than provided by the ordi-
nance, was refused.
Mr.. Julian D. Wilder reported the
dimculty experienced by carriers in
delivering mail because Of the many
uanumbered houses in all parts OF

the necessary numbering for SIS and
1ie rfTor waS accented
A supplementary opinion Of II. c..
Haynsworth, Esq, on the sewerage
situation was read, to the effect that
the contract made by the eommis-
sioners of public works with Mr.. c..
c. Wilson on March 10Th, was made
Snder n1isapprehension Of law, and
is without validity. Mr.. Haynsworth
advised the election Of a. sewerage
commission as provided by. the act Of
1902, a majority Of whom shall not
be members Of council.
Mr. II. C. Haynsworth moved that
a commission of seven be elected. Mr..
Chandler offered an amendment, that
the number be FIVE instead oi seven.
He thought the smaller numper
would be easier to get together for
meetings and would do the work
quite as well. Mr.. Haynsworth's mo-
ton prevailed and the following al
dermen and citizens we're unanimous
7y elected as the sewerage ccmmis-
sion cf Sumter: H. D. Barnett, R. F
Haynswosth, H. c. HaynswortL, D.

BASEBALL FIASC0.
BIG GAME BY LEAGUE TEAMS
WAS A FLUKE.
How and Why The Game Was Not
Pulled Off AS Scheduled-The Ex-
hibirion That Was Put Up Was
The Worst That Ever Happened.
Daily Item, April 6.

Daily Item, April 6.
The much advertised and eagerly
anticipated game of ball between the
Charleston and Columbia South
Atlantic League teams yesterday af-
ternoon turned out to be the greatest
: Disappointment Sumter fans ever had
handed out to them. The attendance
was large, there was lots Of enthusi-
asm ready to be unbottled and every
thing was propitious for good ball,
but the whole thing resulted in a
fuke.
After the arrival of the two teams
yesterday morning the managers
learned for the first time whom they
were expected to play and the trouble
began at once. It seems that league
teams are not permitted to play each
other prior to the opening Of the
season, without special permission
from the president Of the league and
telegram to President Boyce result
ed in peremptory refusal to grant
the necessary permit.
AS substitute for the promised
game an effort was made to get up
two mixed teams to play an exhibition
game, but Columbia declined to en-
ter into this arrangement, so from the
Charleston players and three local
n.en two scrub teams were put on the
field. II his bunch had played ball,
or even made a serious effort TO do
so. the crowd would have been salts
fed, but on the contrary the affair
was the worst burIesque on ball play
ing ever seen here and before the So
called game was half over the crowd
began leaving in disgust, and the ex-
hibition then came to an end.
AS will be seen form the articles
quoted from the Columbia State and
Charleston News and Courier the en-
tire responsibility for the affair is
placed upon the shoulders Of Man
ager Guy Gunter, Of this city, and he
is made the scape goat. Mr.. Gunter
believed that the two teams could
play an exhibition game, here if they
/ wanted to-, and when he was asked
for a game or series of games by
| Manager Matthews, Of Charleston, he
accepted his terms and then arrang-
| ed with the Columbia team to come
over. He did not notify either team
whom they would meet, and that
was the only mistake he made in the
matter A good many people are
still under the impression that if the
managers for Charleston and Colum-
bia had really wanted to play it could
have been arranged to do so. In 30
far as the financial part Of the affair
| is concerned, both teams left here
protesting to be fully satisfied. The
contract wa for $50 game each,
each team to pay its own expenses.
In lieu of $50 each for the game that
was not played, the entire expenses
Of both teams were paid by the Sum
ter Management, the total being con-
siderably more than the guarantee TO
the two teams.
The Sumter people regret the
whole affair more than anyone else
and their disappointment was great,
but they paid for the fun they didn't
get and that is all there is to it.
The following articles show what
the Columbia and Charleston papers
have to say about the occurrence:

From the State.

From the State.
There was no game in Sumter yes
terday afternoon between the Game
cocks and the Sumter team. IN fact,
the wnole thing was peculiar from
the arranging cf the games unit. af-
ter the scrub game between some
Of Wilson Matthews men and Sum
ter players.
The contract Manager Kanzler
made with William Bultman
Of Sumter was that the local
league team should play two games
with Sumter-yesterday and today
and that the Gamecocks We're to re-
ceive 500 and expenses for the two
games. 1t seems that some one in
Sumter-Guy Gunter dispatch to
the State from Charleston says
made exactly the same contract with
Wilson Matthews and his team.
Neither team knew the other was
going to Sumter With the intention
Of playing the Sumter team and it
was in good faith that both the
Charleston and Columbia teams went
to Sumter to play.
When Manager Kanzler arriN ed in
Sumter yesterday morning he found
out something: that Charleston and
Columbia We're scheduled to play
each other on Sumter's diamond and
that the game between Columbia and
Sumter, or Charleston and sumter, as
Managers Kanzler and Wilson, re-
spectively. thought would be played.
was ali a mistake. The arrangements
were made, it seems, to get the two
teams to Sumter for game if pos
sible.
But the play didn't work. As soon
as Manager Karzler learned Of the
plans he wired President May Of the
local club telling him the circum-

KEEP OUT OF POLITICS.

There has been an intimation that
the booster club intends to go into
politics. Good advice, in this and
other similar instances, Is to say
sDon't do it." What Is needed In tfia
booster club Is harmony and politics
is noted as the rock on which the good
old ship of harmony has often at
wrecked. Politics begets officers and
offices beget aspirants who in seek
ing for the loaves and fishes forget the
ends and aims of civic Righteousness.
Whatever can be done to arouse the
people to a sense OF their responRi-
bflity In the coming election, or In
deed In any election. is duty we'll
performed. Public sentiment may be
fostered that will play an importan'
part I'm the issues Of the election. but
for any club, business, civic or frater-
nal. to attempt to break into polite.
with the idea Of controlling primaries
and naming candidates would be only
to disrupt it's elements and destroy its
usefulness.
