THE BELL PUNCH.

HOW IT IS TO OPERATE-THE WAY OF
EXECUTING THE LAW-1Ts PENALTIES
-INFoRMER' FEEs-CoLLUs1oN WITH
DEALERS A FELONY,
&C.. &C., sc.
The Bell Punch Bill is now law, having
passed the Senate by vote OF 70 to y.
Among the NAYS was Senator Cochran, of
Augusta, who spoke strongly against it,
as one of those 'sumptuary laws which,
the history of the world proved, never
yielded any revenue, and was detrimental
to the best interests of the community
The probability is that it will advance the
price of drinks to Is cents, though if one
Of its apprehended effects is realized, that
of breaking up the credit system, the bar
keepers would make more at 10 cents with
the tax on than they did with the tax off.
The Internal machine, for which $40 is to
be paid in advance, is to be set in a promi-
nent place in each bar-room, is box, hav-
ing glass top. through which is seen the
white face of dial, having hand point
ing to numbers, and on the sale of drink
OF fraction of half pint, the Tar tender or
retail dealer shall turn a crank, which
moves the hand one figure forward and
strikes bell at the same time. If beer or
ale is also sold there are to be two registers.
| These registers are fastened, and the Com
missioner of the Revenue keeps the key.
| The tax is q cents ON q drink of alcoholic
liquor, and cent on malt liquor.
THE SCALE.
The following is the provision of the
law applying to the retailing of liquor, the
retailers being also compelled to have a
bell register:

Retrenohment in the City Government.

A very good example is set in announcer
column by Superintendent Smith, OF the
water works, in an advertisement for the
lowest bid to supply the city with coal.
On Thursday night another step was
made in the Council in the same direction,
in the way of a suggestion of Councilman
Bledsoe, that the supplies for the poor,
which amount to $1,000, should be let out
to contract to the lowest bidder. This is
unquestionably the right way. The city
spends over $4,000 a year providing for its
poor. Three trades--the dry goods, grocery,
and fuel men should be awarded the con-
tracts, this being sufficient number to
cover the calls of the poor, and, after adj
vertisng for bids, the contract should be
awarded to the lowest bidder. That will
break up all the cross-road store influence
in corporation politics. Everything used
by city regularly, or any work to be done
should be let to the lowest bidder, and not
be peddled out by city officers to political
or personal friends.
Another step forward was the appoint
ment, on motion of Mr.. Abby, Tuesday
night, OF committee on retrenchment by
the Council. The committee Mr.. Abby
having asked not to be appointed) consists
of R. W. Burke, I. Witt and President
Fultz, who is ex-officio member. This
committee is well composed. and will find
plenty of suggestions to make if they will
look around.
