desperate fellow. lie declared in court
that no penitentiary had ever been built
that would hold him over one year.

SALEM, VA, May 1i-(Special)-Th
present Town Council OF Salem
whose twO-year term expires IN
July. have made most en-
viable record. When they took charge
OF affairs in July. 1894. they reduced the
town tax from 80 cents on the Sl0O to Go
cents. and in the past two years have
paid Off $4,000 of the towns Indebtedness.
Ten thousand dollars of this was for
bonds on the water-works. which are
now free of debt and the revenue from
which VIII pay the interest on the entire
indebtedness OF the town. This money
was saved from the receipts of the taxes.
improvements on the streets and pave
ments have been going on all the time,
and, whilst there has been ndicious econ
omy. there has not been any closeness, as,
FOR instance, at the last meeting tho
Council voted 500 towards improving
the armory of the JEFF. Davis Rifles. The
corporation owns its own electric-lght
plant and IS now going TO sink an Arte-
sian well at the power-house with view
OF supplying the town with water, and, In
order to do the pumping with the electric
light plant engine. thus making a still
grcater reduction I'm the expenses. The
present water-works win be kept 70.
emergency The town also owns a com
piete sewerage system. When the pres
ent Council retires all current expenses
and interest will have been paid, and
there will be s., 900 or 5000 in the treasury
Surely this record is hard 10 beat. Pot

Council here. for the best businessmen
are chosen, regardless Of politics. and

and again, Is a Republican.
