One Thing the Citizens Meeting should


The citizens meeting called to
discuss municipal affairs, ought to
declare outright and emphatically
for permanent improvements on our
streets.
Either brick paving is cheaper
than the mud pike plan, or it is not
If it is, then we are burying our
town revenues in unremuneratlve
mud, and it ought to be stopped.
1t is very easy to determine wheth-
er it is cheaper or not, and a town
council which has not energy, enter
prise or ability to satisfactorily de-
termine that question ought not to
be elected
Other towns in West Virginia
have fully tested the matter-not
by theorizing-but by practical eX-
periments, and it is no longer a
question of doubt or dispute.
If money can be saved to town,
while at the same time, better
streets can be secured by brick paw
ing, it is simply matter of business
necessity, of common sense economy
Of good horse sense, to quit wasting
the revenues in mud and begin per-
manent improvements.
In fact it is simply question OF
elementary arithmetic Any school
boy with the given data can solve
the problem. 1t scarcely needs any
data more than the Ordinary obser-
walton of the policy of temporarily
patching our streets, to demonstrate
to any business man that permanent
improvements-Or in other words
any hard pavement at cost of 81
per square yard, including guaran
ty of maintenance by the contractor
for five years, would be cheaper than
the mud machine plan.
Our streets are the worst thing
about the town. They are not as good
as the country roads. They contradict
our character for enterprise, thrift
and business sagacity. They de
tract from the beauty and decency
of every kind of property.
We do not advocate piling up a
debt, going wholesale into street
paving. We maintain simply that
brick paving should be begun. That
wherever repairs are needed they
should be made permanent with
brick instead of temporary with
sandstone. The cost of the improve
ment ought to be shared by those
who will enjoy it in the future, and
therefore the work ought to go on
gradually and be paid for easily in
future installments, just like all per
manent improvements should be.
We can do this and get out of the
mud. We can do this and save mon
ey. We can do it and not hurt any
body. We can do it and immensely
beautify the town and increase the
comfort of living.

EVANS ADDS HIS PLEA.
The Pension Man Don't Like
Civil Service.
HE URGES IT'S MoDlFIcl TION.
If Permitted to DO So He Could Remove
100 Clerks without Efecting the Eli
cheney of His Force-Appeared Before
Senate Committee.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21. - Commits
sioner of Pensions Evans has appeared
before the senate committee on civil
service and retrenchment, which is
conducting an investigation into the
operation OF the civil service system.
Mr. Evans was questioned at length by
Senators Lodge and Prltchard about
the civil service system and its applica-
ton to the pension office force.
He expressed the opinion that the
law did not accomplish the results its
friends insisted that it did. The best
men in his office were those who had
come in under the so-called ''spoils sys-
tenn" They did their duty and ex-
pected to hold their positions by so do
ing. The pension examining boards. he
said, ought not to be in the classified
service as it was desirable TO secure
men us members of such boards who
had had wide surgical experience
army experience, il possible-and such
men would not enter into competition
for the 81 &c with young men just out
of college.
He tho ght, however, that the entire
system OF appointing the boards was
wrong and that All of them ought to
be under uniform system of appoint
ment. The commissioner believed that
the head of bureau was the best
qualified person to pass upon the eff
cheney of clerk and that he ought not
to be hampered in removing clerk for
inefficiency. If permitted 80 do so he
could remove at least 100 clerks from
his o ce without affecting the efficiency
of the force. He thought it would be
desirable to have definite tenure of
office, not exceeding ten years, SO that
every year about 10 per cent of new
blood could be infused into the force.
This would do away with the abuses
resulting from some clerks remaining
in office too long. The commissioner
thought that some reform would have
to be enacted or the country would
have the infection of civil pension
list. He believed it was mistake to
include in the classified service the
special examiners, medical boards,
chiefs of divisions and all others recelv-
ing salaries exceeding 81 400.

EDUCATION DISCUSSED.
Addresses by DIR. Gambler of Emory
and DIR. Hammond of wesleyan.

anu Dr. hammond OF wesleyan.
The educat ional meeting last night drew
a very large congregation. The announce
ment of the speakers that would be heard
had been successful in attracting a great
many, and the church was filed
The devotional part of the service was
rotary of the general board of education
of the church. DR.. Bigham announced the
hymn, and followed 1t with an eloquent
prayer solo was then sung by Mrs. G.
M. Williams Of the choir.
Bishop Key, who, with Rev. DR.. c. f.
bowman and Dr. Warren A. Gambler,
president Of Emory College, occupied the
places on the pulpit, announced that the
meeting was held under the auspices of
the board of education of the conference
of which DR.. bowman is the chairman
DR.. Bowman expressed the pleasure he
felt in having the heads of the two leading
colleges of the church in the state pres
ent as speakers, and he introduced Dr.
Gambler.
There were a great many present who
were anticipating a treat in hearing DR.
Gambler. From the reception given his
speech there was every reason to believe
that their expectations were fully realiz-
ed. Though he spoke for more than an
hour, interest in his words never Jagged
and admiration for the deep thought dis
played and laughter at the humorous re-
marks of the speaker followed as readily
towards the close Of the speech as il had
at its start.
DR.. Gambler had q severe cold that Sc
riously interfered with his enunciation at
the opening of his talk. There are some
very sensitive people IN Georgia." said
DR.. Gambler. Some of them are sensi-
tive upon this very subject of education 4"
He says that he knows of an excellent
old gentlemen, a Methodist, who suf-
fers from hyperaesthesia. This is often
evnced by his jumping when he is touch
ed in the neighborhood of the short ribs
This old gentleman was attending a re-
cent quarterly conference meeting of his
church when the presiding elder in a very
affectionate way, put his arm around him
and was promptly knocked down by the
old gentlemen, whose hyperaesthesia was
not able to stand the touch of the elders
fingers in his ribs The elder was natural
~ very much shocked and mortified and
again put his arm around his brother
to affectionately inquire the reason Of his
conduct. Again he was so unlucky as
to get too close to those sensitive ribs
and again he was knocked down. DR..
Gambler said he was going to put his
arm around those Of his audience who
were suffering from hyperaesthesia and
that he hoped he would not touch a sore
spot that would result in his being knock
ed down.

They Have an Eye ON the Members
of the Grand Jury.
The approaching session of the grand
jury is apt to have some effect on the num-
e4ous policy-shops now said to be run
hing in Savannah with apparent undisput-
ed sway. But OF the thirty or more writer's,
none seem to regard the grand jury with
much fear and apprehend nothing serious.
Nobody is running away.
While the writer's are numerous, and are
al work at all hours, there is very little
complaint against them. They may meet
long-felt' want, which accounts for
their not being dispensed with.
A well known justice Of the peace said
yesterday that none but the solicitor gem
eIal can take a hand, with impunity, in
Expressing them. If the justices were to
aNempt it, he said, the condemnation
would be well nigh universal the first ac-
C"salion being that the only object was to
get the usual fee for bond.
