DUNCAN CHOSEN ALDERMAN.
UNANIMOUSLY ELECTED TO Sue
CEED ALDERMAN WILLY.

Took the Oath of OnIce and at Once
Owens Made Chairman of the
Drainage Committee to Succeed
Alderman WyIIy and DIR. Duncan
Made Chairman of the Public
Health Committee.
The vacancy in the City Council caused
by the resignation of Alderman Wylly
was filled last night by the election of DR..
William Duncan.
Just after the aldermen had left the
Mayors Office and assembled in the coun-
Gil room it was moved by Alderman Guck-
enheimer that the regular order of BUSH
ness be set aside and that the election of
members be proceeded with.
Mayor Meldrim stated that the resig-
nation of Alderman Wylly had left va
cancy, and that the board was ready to
entertain nominations.
Alderman w. w. Owens put Dr. Dun
can in nomination, and he was elect
ed by the vote of the Mayor. A question
arose as to the method in which the cleo
ton should be held, whether by ballot or
verbal vote. To settle the matter the mo-
ton that the Mayor should cast the vote
was made and carried. The Mayor voted
by ballot.
DR.. Duncan arrived at the Exchange
while the meeting was still in progress. AS
soon as the Mayor learned of his presence,
he requested Aldermen Owens and Krous-
koff to act as a committee to escort him
into the Council room. Marshal Power
also accompanied the aldermen.
The newly elected alderman came in
with his colleagues and stood near the ta-
BILE while the oath was administered. Up
on the conclusion of the reading of the
oath by the clerk, the Mayor welcomed
Alderman Duncan as a member of the
board. The latter responded gracefully
saying that he would have preferred the
honor to have been conferred upon some
one else, but that, since Council had seen
fit to elect him, he would fill the duties of
the position to the best of his knowledge
and understanding with a view to the adj
Vancement of the interests of the city. A
stir of applause followed in the small aud
fence upon the conclusion of the new al
dermans remarks.
The resignation of Alderman Wylly left
the drainage committee without a chair
man. Mayor Meldrim spoke in compli-
mentary terms of the work that has been
done upon this committee by Alderman
owens, who, at the same time, has dis
charged duties on other committees, and
appointed him as chairman to succeed Al
German Wylly. The Mayor announced
that he would further revise the commit
tees to-day, but anticipated this action
by appointing Alderman Duncan chair
man of the health committee.

S. Morgan, Jr., representing Dyer, stat
ed that he was compelled to ask a con-
tinuance on account of the illness of his
associate, Judge H. d. d. Twiggs
Solicitor Osborne stated that the time
allotted for criminal business for the
term was fully taken up and unless the
court could displace civil business for the
trial he did not see how it would be pos
sible to continue the case without carry
ing 1T over to the next term.
Judge Falligant stated that it would
not be possible to displace any of the
civil business. He was DESTROYS of dis
posing of the Dyer case at this term, he
said, but he was aware that judge
Twiggs was in no condition to proceed
with the trial. Judge Falligdnt decided
10 pass the case for the time with the
understanding that it should be called I'D
any day this term that the attorneys MAY
agree upon when the time can be af
forded by the court.

CHAPTER VIII

SE1AI LIN LII
Presently there was no one left In
sight and the battlefield was all her
own.
1t was high noon, as she knew by tho
northward slanting shadows Of the elder
bushes that were tracing delicate pat
tern of lace against the crumhling brick
wall behind her On the knoll that had
Just swallowed up Adricil S fast moving
figure the torch of a crinsorirg sweet
gum f1ared brightly among the rusty
green Of the pecans and the vivid YER
dure OF the nagnolias; soft rustling i'll
the oak trees which disputed territory
with the pines and the laurca mundls
in the graveyard was all the sound she
heard In the cueS sustaining currents
of the upper air some pigeons were cir
cling ambitiously The sumach was
kindling it's autumn fires in the fence
corners A blue jay dressed his elegant
plumage with dandifed fastidiousness
as he swayed easily among tho russet
tassels Of the dead corn. A serene still
world above, below. all around about
herl After little Sarah Jane lifted
her brown head and pointed alert ears,
while look Of animated interest camo
into her soft eyes The musical note
of a hound in pursuit broke in upon
nature s noteless madrigal, foated near
or and died away, Quenched III the
soundless distance ...
Liza put out hand and laid it caress-
ingly on the silken head at her feet.
Poor beastie! 1t has been n day OF
scourging to us both-stripes for thee,
haircloth shirt for me-"
Things had been especially exasperat-
ing that morning. The flies had been
moro than ever populous about the open
mouth Of the molasses jug which form
ed the central ornament Of the red ta-
BILE cover three times day. Charlie had
appeared at the breakfast table with an
unkempt look, laughing nervously over
the admission that he "couldn' t find his
comb and brush nowheres. He reckoned
"Duke' done made way with 'em. y Her
father, fresh from the humane but un-
pleasant task Of drenching sick mule,
had composedly taken position behind
the dish Of fried chicken without any
intermediate ablutions. Her mother had
"clean aforementioned" that "sissy
didn't like her to come to the table
without somethin white about her
throat"
Only Seth had vigorously adhered to
the new order Of things and taken his
place at table, red in the face from re.
cent conflict with the coarse roller
towel, his wayeless, sandy hair irre-
proachably smooth and his stalwart
arms painfully compressed into the coat
which, before Liza's advent, had been
conscientiously reserved for state occa-
HonS
As for Strong, he was only an occa-
sional visitor now, who came moro and
more rarely to the overseer's house.
He had "cut loose" Charlie called it.
Liza's fastidious taste was sorely out
ragged at home scores of times each day
Self rebuke always followed closely on
the heels of her silent condemnation of
the shortcomings of those who loved her
so we'll.
''It does not matter. 1t must not mat
ter. It shall not matter. They are my
people. am theirs Ii they made
mistake in sending me away. it was the
blunder of loving. Ignorant ambition,
| and it shall not bevisited CD them. But
