jority of the hoarl, or seven aldermen.
The following are the district boundaries
| with their resident aldermen:
Fl st district: All that part of the city

of Montgomery street. No representative.

WANT REPRESENTATION.
1t is said the formation of the west-end
| club had for its Interior object the securing
OF representation in the alderm mic board,
and an effort is now being made to get the
consent of Mr. E. w. Smith, of the firm of
Smith & Kelly, to make the race. Ed j.
Kieffer is also mentioned as possible can
didate from the first district. One thing is
pretty well understood and THAI is that the
First district must be represented on the
regular ticket or 1t will put one or more
candidates in the field and by joining forces
with the Second district the leaders think
that they can either compel recognition or
elect their men anyway.
In the third district it is understood that
DR.. l. A. Falligant will be a candidate,
and it is not believed that Alderman
Thomas will run in any event.
The only new man mentioned in the
fourth district, as far as is known. is MIR
George f. Byrnes, and his nomination
seems to be very generally conceded, Mai
Schwarz's name having been dropped from
the list by reason of his candidacy for the
mavoralty.
1t is thought that all of the present
board of aldermen, with the probable ex-
ception of Messrs Thomas and Schwarz,
will stand for reelection.
THE REGISTRATION.
The city registration board is composed
of five members, the county commissioners,
the board of education, the sinking fund
commissioners, the superior court grand
jury and the city court grand jury each APP
pointing one member of the city registra-
ton board. The board consists of Col.
George A. Mercer, Capt. John Flannery
DR.. W. S. Lawton, Mr.. George p. Walker
and ono other selected by the city court
grand jury.
Not less than thirty days before the
municipal election the city registration
board is required to appoint three freehold
ers as board of registration and election
managers. The registration books are
opened two weeks preceding the day of the
election and kept open daily, Sundays ex-
cepted, from a. M. to 2 p. M, until the
day before the election. Four boxes must
be provided at the polls-one for each dis
trict. 1t will be seen that ample time is
thus given for registration, and from pres
ent indications. there will be a very heavy
registration. In fact, the interest in the
municipal campaign is greater than that of
the presidential campaign just closed.

OVER IN CHARLESTON.
The Days Happenings on the South
Carolina Side of the River.


The federal supervisors of the recent
election in Charleston have received their
pay. The government does not pay super
visors In cities of less than 10000 inhabit-
ants. Attorney General Garland has Just
written letter saying that the appropria-
ton provides only 100000 for the fiscal
year 1889 for the expenses of marshals.
There has been expended over $l50,OOO al
ready, before the expiration of the first five
months OF the year, leaving less than
$4,000 for the remaining seven months
OF the year. If advances are made
to marshals to pay the expenses of special
deputies at the election, there will be no
money left for service of process for the
courts. ut is therefore deemed expedient, ;"
writes the attorney general, ito withheld
the payment of these special deputies until
congress shall appropriate for their pay
ment, ecause it seems to have escaped the
attention of congress In its legis alton re-
spect:ng this appropriation that large
amounts must be drawn from it to pay con-
gressional election expenses"

work it has accomplished, the progress il

under favorable circumstances.
II is true Sheffield set out upon n career
more prophetic Of progress, in the midst OF

growth than any similar enterprise ever
inauguratcd in the south, but il should be
kept OF record that almost the very next
day there occurred a financial collapse at

the country, the shock OF which was felt
throughout the entire Union. IL created a
panic. II paralyzed business. II choked
the channels OF trade. IL put n pause Ia

imperishable resolution OF its management,
IL would have persisted outright, IL would
have died in lis infancy, died under that
sudden aud terrific blow. II was ridi'
Culcd by croakcrs. II was cursed by foes.
II was forsaken by feeble-heartcd friends.

LARD.
A Movement to Take tho Impure Ar
ticle Off the Market.

WASHINGTON, Jan. pa large number
Of gentlemen interested in the manuiac-
ture OF lard and its limitations appeared
before the Senate committee on agriculture
today in reference TO the bill TO require
lard compounds TO he taxed, inspected
and stamped and their makers to be Ii
censed. The compound makers, through
their representatives, acknowledged that
they used cotton seed oil and other whole
some articles to mix with pure lard, and
opposed the bill because their product was
a good and healthiul one and as such
should be encouraged.
The commissioners, they argued, were
not making any complaint This measure
was prepared by business rivals who we're
unable 10 compete successfully with them.
The supporters Of the bill told the COM
mittec that the unlicensed production oil
lard mixtures, and the unrestricted sale oil
these M pure lard, was certainly under
mining and destroying one OF the most
profitable branches Of American industry.
They were indifferent with regard to
the. grade OF tax and only urged tax
because OF their understanding that the
measure would otherwise be constitu-
ional. Nor were they opposing in any
way the production OF compounds made oi
healthfuI ingredients such rs cotton seed
oil. but the license under which an hon
orablc man could make such compounds
now sheltered the less honorable manu-
iacturcr who gathered the vilest OF grades
and flooded the market with them stamped
and sold rs pure lard. The purpose OF the
proponents OF the bill was to secure in
spection Of lard products and compel the
manufacturers TO stamp them according I,
their composition. Mr.. w. W. Kimball,
of Boston, the chief speaker for the bill
was questioned rather closely with regard
| 20 statement there were many unprinci
pied manufacturers in the country who
were making deleterious lard compounds
and selling them as pure lard.
The committee asked him TO furnish thu
names Of twenty such manufacturer
with the proof Of their practices.
