MiDpLErowS, March The town com
missiouers issued q call for , eltizens'
meeting &c be held in McWhorter's Hall last
evening at 8 O'Clock. About 90 of tue rep.
Teannrrtlve citizens OF the town were
present when the eeaslon was called 10
order, ard In mas L. Hurn was made
chairman and o. j. Freeman, Secretary.
Ii has been the custom in the past for
these meetings TO nominate by ballot the
candidates for the town offices, hut on this
occasion this was not the case. Tho hHmes
of several citizens were mentlened rs can
ditates for the Offices, but no general bal
lot was tax n. Il was decided TO let every
voter cast his ballot on Monday for whom
he pleasej and 1t 10 generally thought taat
there will be quite Il number to eelect from.
The meeting a. fact resulted In DotGiaH.
James Il. H1fracker moved that there b
an auditing committee appointed to audit
the accounts OF the tow commissioners,
and the motion was carried. A discussion
then arose as to VINO should appoint the
auditing commltteo, some contending that
the Board of Commissioners could do Il
and others that 1t vas Ia the power OF the
citizens.
Mr., HoiTecker also wanted to know what
became Of the $500 appropriated by the
hundred for I 9 Improvement OF tho streets
OF tho town, and whether II was right and
proper that said SUN should be apprn-
priutad for other purposes than the i'm
prOyement OF the streets.
Ii was decided that II was not, and then
MIR. Hcir9aker wanted TO know whore the
appropriation had goao during the past
two or three years. IL was learned that
| the money had not yet all beon received
! and In that case could not very well be
used. Mr.. H9ifecker did not doubt bat
| that the money had been used, but merely
| wanted to know where 1t had gone.
Mr. Lavender was under the Impression
! that the nesting vas called TO ss!ecr the
| candidates for the town cfiicss and not to
| discuss other business Until afterward. Mr.
| hcWhortar wanted no regular nominees,
| but every one was TO have the privilege OF
voting for whom they pleased. This was
| met with applause and II was readily seen
that the l4ea received the favor OF the
majority Of the meeting motion to ad-
! journ was then made, but Mr.. Green de-
clared that this was not IN order, as mo.
| tlon had been previously made to ballot for
| nominees. j. Q. JOlls moved that the mo
| ton TO ballot for nominees be laid on the
table, and that the meeting adjourn. The
