Immediately after order had been
called Mayor Vinson delivered a
special message that whereas mass
meeting of citizens had demanded it,
he recommended that the rent and re-
pairs to public echools be paid as
usual.
After this rea( i g Mr.. Toombs
moved that this message be adopted
as an ordinance of the council, which
was seconded by Mr. Herold.
Mr. Randle offered as an amend

who would second it.

referred, TO determine how far the

the original motion.

their words that they would pay the

Mr.. Randall, because he must stand
by and uphold bud-in-law, we sup
pose, declared that as far as he was
concerned the public would have 10
take his word for his actions. as he
would vote for no resolutions. And
Mr. Wimblsh too, for what motive
under Heaven we cannot tell, also
turned his back on the poor, unfortu-
nate children of this town, and was
willing to favor the city attorney,
(who was attempting the role of

cation. This, despite the fact that both
heand Mr.. Randall $50 we are inform
ed by reliable authority had pledged
themselves to support the Scofeld
resolution, not knowing then Of

And Toombs did speak, his voice

himself had suffered from its lack

he had been granted the privileges
offered by public schools. That no
man would dare stand before him and
say he was not friend of public ed
ucation and in proof would give more
money, according to means, than ally
man, and defed and challenged
anyone to put him to the test. He
said he had high regard for the le-
gh ability of City Attorney Jones,
but if he decided against the passage
of this ordinance, he, (Toombs) would
certainly refuse to be guided by his
advice, preferring the ''thank you,

to the bold declaration, "this is the

it takes precedence over all others.
This is true because it is matter OF

Holmes best friends are inclined to

by his intimates as a cleverly planned
uuse to nlislead the officers of the law.
Especially as to the whereabouts Of
