the selection OF sergeant to fill the va

cessful. Candidates are numerous aud

bic to the front 70 ntercede in his behalf,
AS matters stand the vacant place will

READ THIS MAYOR wANsER.
The dilemma i'll which the Commits
sioners find themselves III relation to the
SCI geanlship is now second in import to a
trvsn dilemma that made its appear ance
yesterday. John A. Etfray, owner OF the
building now occupied by the Fifth Pre-
ciict police in Greeuyllle, has served a
notice of ejectment upon the ConmIs-
siouers. He demands the vacation of the
building within three months, aud just
what course to pursue is puzzlug the
Commissioners. Contractor Condor has
been awarded the contract for the con-
struction OF the new police building in
Greenville, but since Mayor WnnSer' 5
partisan attack vi on him n connection
with the building of the Public School
No 25 he has taken no steps toward the

Condor objects strenuousiy to dong
work and then having to enter into legal
complications to get his money.
"havor WanSer is wrong il this mat
ter," said Comm issioner Van keuren yes
terday afternoon, Mayor Nanser could
insist UDon the appointment OF Il reliable
inspector for the police building and no
lr1uble would he experienced. Mr. Con-
don could be made To carry out the speci-
fcut ms, and as his bid is a low one
bhoAll tAink the Mayor would now insist
npon nm carrying out his contract. The
new Ouiluiug is needed badly. and this
delay is going to cause us considerable
trouble"
The Board directed Clerk Robinson to
communicate with the Street and Water
Commissioners with ii view 10 solving the
u .hiculty.
