HAS THE CITY GOOD CLAIM?

At the Monday night, (Jan. 16)
session of the City Council, MIR. j.
L. Hargrove, special attorney for the
city. again presented the claims OF
the city, by both argument and law,
to the Silver Lake tract. From his
point of view, and he appeared to be
supported by good legal authority,
the city unquestionably owns this
land and should have it. Now, we
understand that the present posses
sors are not only men of legal ability,
but are evidently strong in the belief
of their claim to it, and for that rea-
son the matter should be settled as
soon as possible. Messrs. Land and
Leonard claim ownership by decis-
ion of the Supreme Cenrt and, if we
understand the matter correctly, MIR.
Hargroye claims that that decree did
not settle the complete and full own
ership, but that of the two parties
then claiming the land, the Smith
heirs had the better title. From his
position this not constitute final
decision of ownership for the reason
that the city took no part. Things
are decidedly mixed and we think
the question should be settled. Our
city needs the value of this land bad
ly. If the property is hers it can be
made to yield enough to place our
public schools in grand shape in their
own commodious, comfortable and
attractive building. And in conclu.
sion we ask. has the city a good
claim to this land!" and request the
council to have the courts pass upor
il as soon as possible.

A NEW METHOD.


Beginning on the first of next
month, February, as will be seen by
his card in this paper, Mr.. j. ID. Lee
will inaugurate q pew system Of con-
Quoting his retail family grocery
business. This will be the adoption
of the strictly cash plan, which will
be exercised with all alike. Mr.. Lee
is practical and prudent business
man, and he has learned by a careful
study of the matter that the man
who adheres to the strictly cash sys-
tenn can unquestionably undersell
the competitor who gives credit or
sells upon the monthly account plan.
This proposition is plain, and it
seems to us beyond hope of success
full contradiction. To begin with,
the merchant who sells on time must
be at the expense of both book
keeper and a collector. The price
paid for these is of course added to
the cost of the goods and the per
GENITAL of profit based on this total
cost, all of which the consumer pays.
To these charges must be added a
far greater expense, that of the loss
by bad debts. 1t is folly to say that
all these are not counted as cost. Not
to do SO would certainly bring upon
that merchant sure and certain fail
ure. Some will object to the method,
of course, because it is very convent
ent to telephone or write an order to
bs filled and say charge, but when
the calculating business man learns
that he can save 10 per ceiIt per
month by paying cash for his gro
ceries, he will certainly do so. This
is what Mr.. Lee proposes to do. He
proposes to offer sufficient induce
ments in his new method to draw to
him the trade of those who can af-
ford to try to pay cash.
This is a good move, and we are
glad that it has been started, as we
feel sure that ere long it will be gen
orally adopted, and then will be
broken up thi- credit system, which is
so debilitating to our commercial
business.

disappearing the people party, and otherwise
voting independently aud had to go. To Sc
cure this change in the mtuner Of the APP
pointment Of trustees had to be made which
was done under recent act Of the legislature
giving the county commissioners that power.
The county commissioners exercised it and
the new Board Of Trustees have had the mat
ter of change of the overseer under advise
ment for some time A few weeks ago the
Board in caucus agreed 10 appoint Mr.. Alpine
US Haislip, and on last Monday met to ratify
that act by the formal appointment. The i'm
preston prevailed that Mr.. WEIGH being APP
pointed annually his term of office
would expire with the new appointment but
upon thorough examination of the minutes
of the proceedings of the old Board of Trus-
tees it was found that although Mr.. Welch
was appointed in May his term Of office ran
with the calendar year, hence his term would
not be out until January next. Under the
new law the Trustees have the power to re-
move him, bot this clause was construed to
mean for cause Mr. Welch will therefore
hold over until next January. Some other
minor matters were inquired into after which
royal dinner was enjoyed and the meeting
