Heretofore no provision mas been
made for the maintenance Of boys sent
from this county to the Whittier reform
school as criminals; but, the supreme
court having decided against the count ~
ON that point, this item is in excess OF
previous years.
About six months ago the board Of su-
pervisors decided to have put In the
courthouse a Quick-running elevator,
and every one having business about the
courthouse rejoiced. But nothing was
done. The present one Is an immoral
contrivance. 1t takes about ten minutes
to make the through trip, stopping at
way stations, and somehow is always
at the other end of the line to the person
desiring its services. In this way it Is
q direct incentive to blasphemy, and 1t
IL notorious that when a stander by
was moved to echo in soto voce tone
Admiral Porter's favorite expletive-the
word with a great big D"-a lady, also
waiting upon the elevator turned to the
gentleman and bowling said: Thank
you; and me- too!'
All this being so it IL comforting to no
tice an appropriation for a new ele-
vator. and no one will begrudge the
money. The same, however cannot be
said for the $4,000 that is to be thrown
into a big hole that is to be driven un-
derneath the court house. This tunnel
is to have its point Of entrance on New
High street and will pass. under the
building and enable people to take the
elevator on the ground level Of New
High street 1t seems rather expensive
mode Of saving shoe leather. and the
vitality expended in mounting the pres
ent approaches to the court house.
NO PRINCIPAL PAID OFF
It will be noticed that in the interest
and sinking fund this year no provision
has been made for paying off any of the
principal Of the bonded Indebtedness.
The interest is provided for and that is
all. 1t is five years since any lapse was
made in this direction before. and the
scheme being discussed to refund the
inde btedneos. by which plan
Il Is claime6 that a large saving to the
will accrue. has induced the su-
pervisors to anticipate little of the
saving for the benefit Of several of the
runds.

LOCAL OPTION CARRIES
Largest Majority "Dry" in the History

Largest Majority "Dry" in the History
of the Law.
The local option election Monday
brought out large vote and, to the
surprise of both friends and foes of the
law, resulted in the largest "dry" major.
ity since the present law was first
adopted in this county.
The first election under this law was
held in February, 1890, when fairly
full vote was cast and the majority for
prohibition was 1879.
The next election was in September,
1892, when the vote was marvelously
small and the 'dry" majority was but
46S.
This led many to believe that the law
would now be defeated, but good vote
was out and the friends of the law have
put up a strong campaign. The major
ity for prohibition Monday was 1541,
but two towns, Hartford and Hamilton,
voting against the law. Following are
the "wet" and dry" majorities by town
ships:

hereafter be public library, from which
residents of this district can draw books
under certain restrictions. The library
will be open from $50 to 4:30 on Thurs
day of each week. This is very prop

books from the library cannot fail TO be
entertaining and instructive to the peo-
pie. Any resident of the district is en-
titled to the use of the books. OF
course there will be no charges.

A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS.
Horses Get wild Again and Cause MucI
Damage.

Damage.
There seems to be an organized eff
fort among the horse tribe in Column
bia to smash up all the vehicles and
bruise up as many persons as they
possibly can. During the past three
or four weeks there have been no
less than dozen runaways on our
streets, and all have been accOmpa-
MED with more or less serious re-
suits.
Tuesday afternoon, while Tom
Friel and Mullen Wilson were driv-
ing on the Bigbyville pike near the
corporation line, their buck board
collided with a vehicle driven by a
negro, and they were thrown out
and Friel had his right knee sprain-
ed and his body otherwise bruised
up. The blackboard was also badly
broken. Tom Friel was brought to
town and carried to the Office of
Drs. Wilkes & Forgey to have his
injuries attended to. DR.. Wilkes
sent his office boy in his buggy to
Friel's residence to bring his father,
policeman James Friel, to the office,
and while the boy was on his way
his horse became frightened and
ran away. Mr.. w. f. Hayes ice
wagon was struck by this runaway
horse, at the corner of South Main
and Ninth streets, and the driver,
Tom Frierson (colored) was thrown
out and considerably bruised up,
and both vehicles were badly dam
aged.
About o'clock the same evening
Mr.. j. D. Wright was hauling a
thresher engine from the depot to
town, with feur-horse team, when
the two front horses got scared, de-
tached themselves from the engine
and ran down Garden street at a
mile-a-minute gait, clearing the
road of vehicles as they went, and
strewing their harness all along the
way. One ofthem came up against
some harvesting machinery in front
of Satterfield d Dodson's and knock
ed himself out, while the other one
was stopped by some men. Both
animals were badly hurt.
