STREET SWEEPING.
Time for Rock island to Have q
Uniform System.
THE CONDITIONS WARRANT r

with the Miles, OF Pavement the City Now
Has, the Only Way to Keep Them Clean
IL Through . Specified rian That should
be Considered Another Year.
The paved streets of Rock Island
should be systematically cleaned.
While the present administration
has done its duty as far as the appro-
priations would warrant, the recent
periods of dryness with dust flying
to the four winds of heaven have
been laden with convincing proof
that Rock Island has not yet the
proper method of keeping its streets
in proper condition. The sweeper
has not proven what was anticipated.
II raises tremendous dust while in
operation, its scope is not wide
enough and it is wearing on the pave
ment in digging the sand from be.
tween the bricks. Again, it does not
take up the accumulations, but mere
ly sweeps them to one side, involv-
ing the necessity of men and teams
going over the ground the succeeding
day and gathering them up.
District the city
In view OF this situation, the
plan originally proposed of divid-
ing the paved sections of the city
into districts and having squads of
men do the work at night simulta-
neously in all parts of the city once
a week at least, is again under dis
cussion. This would insure the end
desired. would provide for the work
being systematically thoroughly and
entirely done in all paved portions Of
| town, and would be a means of af-
fording employment to many men
who need work. while in the end il
is doubtful if it would be much more
expensive than the present unsatis-
factory mode.
With the many miles Of paved
thoroughfares Rock Island now has.
some uniform method of keeping
them clean should be adopted. The
advance of permanent improvement
on streets has lessened very materi-
tally. the annual appropriations for
keeping unimproved streets in q
state Of repair essential to making
them safe and passaSle. Aside from
the work of n substantial nature done
from year to year now the municipal
street expense is not heavy.
The property holders have borne
the burdens of street paving without
a murmur. Actuated by publ,
spirit and pride. they have submitted
to whatever expense might bc in
CURED. and lauded the council in it.
wise efforts to give a system Of
streets and sidewalks that hal
amounted to q complete transforma
tion of the city and placed it second
to none.
1t is the duty of the city TO provid,
for keeping the paved streets clear
at all times.

Falls.
After attending divine services at
the United Presbyterian church last
evening, William Hogan went to his
boarding house across the street from
the church. conducted by Mrs. Han
nah, gathered together some wearing
apparel belonging to the other board :
ers, appropriated his good mis-
tress' pocketbook, containing g, and
decamped. At the recent revivals,
conducted by Rev. Bell at the United
Presbyterian church, Hogan pro-
fessed Christianity, giving up his
former hobo-like characteristics, and
vowing to reform. Believing in his
earnestness to become better man,
embers of the church provided a
boarding house for Hogan, who said
that through inability to secure work
he was compelled to sleep at the po-
lice station. Hogan secured work.
attended church regularly, and from
all appearances was sincere in his
convictions. But last night his
mind, which had been inspired
with religious fervency, drifted back
to its former thoughts, and Hogan
went wrong, forsaking the people
whose kindness he had imposed
upon.

A sensational killing occurred near
B%arksdale on the Greenville Railroad
on Wednesday night last. AT about
10 o'clock parties came to q cabin oc-
cupied by n Glenn Davis and wife,
colored, on the lands of Mr.. Butler
Putnam. They demanded that the
door be opened which was refused.
Then the cabin was fired into and
Davis took refuge under the floor by
removing q plank. Under the house
he received two pistol shots, when he
came back into the house. The woman
was urged to open the door and refused.
One of the parties then went to the
house Of q Mr.. Frank Bishop, two hun
dred yards distant and asked for q
lamp. About this time Bishop also
went to the cabin and by the testi-
mony Of Emma, the woman, offered to
protect Emma. Emma refused to come
out OF open the door and Mr.. Bishop
went to his house where DR.. Bell was
attending his sick wife. After his re-
firing the door vas knocked down and
Davis shot to death with gun shot
wounds, receiving many that were
mortal. The testimony before COro-
ner Sloan held on Friday reveals only
four persons present, all white and UNI
masked and unknown to Mr.. Bishop or
any Of the witnesses. The verdict finds
that Davis came to his death by gun
shot wounds inflicted by 'parties un-
known" 1t appears that while the as.
| sailants were ut Davis hut, Mr.. Bishop
returned home with DR.. Bell to attend
| Mr.. Bishops wife, who was sick. 1t
further appeared that they were bold
enough to go. Bishop for a lamp and
defied detection, saying they wanted to

We are sometime made to ask this
question, "And why do summer roses
fade?" Our hearts grow sad indeed
when we are reminded that this is the
last day OF Summer of 1894. The
beautiful flowers will soon be closed,
and Winter with all its fury and
chilling blasts will be upon us.
The forests will be no longer clad
In their full suit Of green;
But the tints of brown and gold
Will everywhere be
Fodder-pulling and contemplating is
the order Of the day.

The tables we give to-day show how
the election went at the primaries on
Tuesday. The result is no d~isparage-
ment of the losers. TITS true in a gen
eral way those who had the best grip
on the coat-tails of the ringsters won,
but this is all of it. The defeated are
as fine a set of fellows as Laurens has
and after a while they will find that
their individual merit, is q safer re-
lance than partisanship and abuse Of
those who disagree with them in State
Or national politics. Our friends, the
enemy, are constantly speaking of the
conservative vote, but in fact there
was no conservative vote or anti vote;
there is no such thing in Laurens. If
there be a conservative in Laurens he
is an individual; if there is an Anti he
is q parsonage. There is and has been
no organization Of opposition to Till
man. The vote in opposition to the
ringsters was an individual protest and
amounted to very little. Every vote
Clardy received was an individual
voucher for his worth and merit. The
machine and machinery was On the
other side. The vote Of the machine
passes under SO many names it is diff
cult to settle it's nomenclature; whether
they be Tillmanites, Ocalaites, Reform
ers, Refawmers, third ~partyites, popu-
lists or what not, nobody knows. All
that is positively known to themselves
Is: that they denouncc the democratic
party Of their fathers, curse any at
tempt to lower the tariff and taxation,
damn Cleveland and his followers,
clamor for reduction of salaries, and
fail to do it and denounce those who
don't hurrah for Tillman. The election
and all its incidents, however, was O.
love feast of the most endearing char
acter. Peace reigns. 1t will be seen
and the ducats.
On the 18th Sept. tho following will
contest in q second primary:
For Treasurer-Mock and Babb:

One diminutivc Professor, of Burns

Greenville County last week. And
during his stay came in contact with
one of the opposite seX who was admi-

a vcnturesome fellow mustered up suf-
ficient courage to win the pleasure Of
accompanying her the following night
to the c%ampground; which was at a dis
lance Of several %furlongs. So in due
