APPROXIMATIONS PROPOSED.

The principal topic discussed was the
reorganization of both the police and
fire departments. 1t would subserve
no good purpose to relate how the re-
organization is proposed to be affected,
and as to the personnel of those slated
for promotions the reporters are ignor-
ant of what is intended. In general
way the purpose and effect of the or
dinances pertaining to both depart
ments enacted in pursuance of the re-
vised statutes. 1898, were discussed, as
were also the rules proposed for the
government of firemen and policemen.
LEGAL LIGHT WANTED.
Almost at the outset a question arose
as to the power of the respective chiefs,
through the mayor and the city coun-
ell, to reorganize in the sense intend
ed, the police and fire departments,
which are composed in the main of
men who are deemed to be holding
during the pleasure of the creative
body. To guide in the search for cor
rect conclusion on the lines indicated,
City Attorney Hall will be asked by
Chairman Howe for an opinion as to
the administration powers in the
premises. Until the desired legal adj
vice is forthcoming no formative ac-
ton can be agreed upon. Last nights
discussion partoolt of the suggestive
without resorting to any mention of
names of subordinate officers or men,
bers of either department now in SER
vice or prospective.
SCHEME FOR NEW JAIL.
Last night was the first consultation
Chief Pratt had with the committee
having jurisdiction over his and Fire
Chief Devine's departments. When the
need of a new Jail was mentioned. Chief
Pratt suggested that it would be wise
to negotiate with an eastern Jail build
ing company TO tear out all the parti-
ton walls, put in cement floors, hard,
white walls and erect tiers of steel
cells. This plan would cost only about
one-fourth what a new jail would, and
the advantage of cleanliness and SER
viceableness would be at once in evil
dence. Then, whenever Jail to ac-
commodate 100 or more prisoners is
needed additions could be made TO the
cells in the proposed remOdeled struct-
ure. The chief urged favorable cOnsid-
Grafton of his scheme to make an ac-
ceptable prison of the condemned black
hole, which he fears Will sometime in
its present condition breed pestilence
among the city's offenders. The COM
mittee thought we'll of the chiefs plan
and promised to look into the subject
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-04-17

all nightWatchmen should possess Spe-
cial police powers, or rather. that only
proper persons should be vested with
such powers while on night watch
duty, was favorably received. but def
mite action on the subject was deferred.
On his request, Chief Pratt was
granted the use of the southwest cor
ner room on the ground floor of the
police station. for his private office.
CHIEF PRATTS SALARY.
Chief of Police Pratt could have OBJ
tanned a warrant yesterday from City
Auditor Swan, in payment of five
months back salary. at the rate of $3.50
a month, and pay for February and
March at S125, had he accepted the ten
der, but the chief maintained that he
was lawfully entitled to $3.50 per month
since February l. The auditors ten
der was made in pursuance of an opln-
ion from City Attorney Hall, who holds
that the reduced salary applies to Chief
Pratt since Feb. /. the date the new
salary ordinance became a law. The
attorneys view, however. runs counter
to an apparently plain provision in the
new city charter, which Is to the effect
that the salary of any city official shall
be neither increased nor diminished, to
take effect during the term for which
such official was elected or appointed.
IN the Itctll QCElSlOH u the
court II the Pratt mandamuS case,
through which he was restored to the
police chieftaincy, with full pay for the
term he was deemed to have been il
legally removed it was held that the
chiefs tenure of Office under existing
law runs for life, or during his good
behavior. From this basis, Chief
Pratt's counsel reasons that the sal
airy attaching to his office cannot be
legally reduced, to take effect until
after his term of office is lawfully
ended.
1t seems, therefore. that the only way
in which the decreased salary can be
made to apply to Chief Pratt is for him
to either resign and be reappointed and
confirmed in the prescribed manner, or
to voluntarily accept the reduction, but
neither of these contingencies is ex-
pected to arise. Chief Pratt is prob
ably SIS a month richer by reason of
the city council having refused to con-
firm Mayor Clark's appointment prior
to the commencement of the man
damus proceedings.

70 Measure an Acre.

Few farmers known the actual size
of their fields or how many acres
they contain. It is desirable, in fact,
indispensable for good work, that a
farmer should know how many acres
each field contains, for otherwise he
cannot apportion seed or manure for
it, nor can he tell how much time it
should require to be plowed. A
measuring cord should be part of
the furniture on every farm. To
make one, procure 81 feet Of strong
rope, one inch around; make loop
or fasten ring OF a bar at each end,
and make these precisely 66 feet
apart. This is four rods. Then tie
a piece of red rag in the centre.
One acre of ground will be a piece
four of these cords (chains) long and
two and onehalf wide, equal to 16 by
10 rods, making 160 square rods to
one acre. The advantages OF the
ring or loop is that one person can
measure alone by driving a stake in
the ground to hold the rope while he
stretches it out.

few strong words, announced that he
sought the office as a business man
and that if elected he would treat all
interests fairly.
The Rev. j. A. Sligh of Newberry,
an ex-commissioner, made vigorous
appeal for reelection. He told the
'priming" joke to the great amuse-
ment of the crowd.
Mr.. C. W. Garris of Colleton had
a good reception from his neighbors
of Orapgeburg county. He felt sure
that be was qualified for the position
without having CARLOAD of maps.
Gen. j. Walter Gray Of Greenville,
thought that the people generally
did not realize the importance Of the
Office of railroad commissioner. It
was possible for this Office to effect
savings to the State that wouldresult
in decreased taxation, and if elected
he would make such his effort.
Maj. Barney B. Evans followed in
a maiden effort that bid fair to de-
velop great stump prowess. His
first training after leaving college
was in a railroad Office, and he knew
what was fair to the roads as we'll az
what was due to the people. Re de-
clared that the statements contained
in annual reports Of the commission
could not be relied on. Ii elected he
would do his duty and never Try to
deceive the people by false state
ments.
MIR. N. b. Stansell of Barnwell, The
well-known sergeant-at-arms Of the
house, said that if elected he would
stand between the people and the
railroads, endeavoripg to be just to
both.
The last candidate announced was
MIR. T. F. Brantley Of Orapgeburg,
who announced that as his competi-
dor for congress was not present he
would refrain from speaking.
A letter was read from Congress-
man Stokes stating that duty re-
quired his presence at Washington,
and that he would appear before the
people later.

Farmers are we'll up with their
work. 1t has been powerfully dry,
but they are working on, having hopes
in Him who doeth all things well.
They have harvested their small
grain and the thrashers are thrash
ing it out. They say they are tired
of eating corn meal -four and are 60
ing to have some home made -four
biscuits once again.
Some say if it were not for the
wheat and sorghum crops they would
enlist in the Cuban war; but they
will try the ginger c'kes awhile
longer.
Mr.. j. J. Wessinger, the great old
miller, has gotten his machinery in

term the State had been dominated
by the original package people. He,
however, had more liquor seized than
any of his predecessors, and at less
expense. The dispensary was the
best solution of the liquor question.
In 1892 he had voted for prohibition
because he considered it more pre-
ferrable than open barrooms, but the
dispcnsary system has decreased
drunkenness in the State end would
be far more potent in that respect
than prohibition, and half a loaf was
better than no bread.
Governor Ellerbe advocated blen-
NAL sessions Of the general assembly.
Each session cost South Carolina
about $50, geo. and as far as the gen.
eral good was concerned some OF
them were not worth 50 so to the
State. The governor took his seat
amid applause.
s'YOUR UNCLE GEORGE"
CJl. George Tillman was intro
duaed TO the tune Of s'hurrah for
Tillmar," ''if he is any kin to Ben
he's all right" together with consid-
erable general applause. After an
eloquent reference to Orangeburg's S
dead heroes, he put the crowd in a
good humor by declaring that the
time allotted him for making a
speech was not even sufficient to
allow him to pay them a few compli-
ments. He could only hop, skip and
Jump over few leading questions.
His remarks were spicy and pungent
and seemed to interest the crowd i'm
mensely.
I am, said he, for trying to keep
your money in your pockets and not
taking it all for taxes. Taxes are too
high. Iobject to having three COL
leges where the courses are redupli-
Gated, and where free tuition is given
in competition with private and de-
nominational institutions.
He dealt vigorously with the dis
pensary question, riddling it merci-
lessly. This moral institution had
been in operation for five years and
he challenged the authorities to show
where it had paid the State. Why
has no other State adopted it? We
are alone in our glory-a bloody re-
cord of oppression, crime and pecu.
lation. It never started in Sweden,
but was invented by some South
Carolina Solon in order to organize
political ring, which was in full
blast with 400 or 500 drones.
Men and women, too, will drink
whiskcy in spite of man or devil, and
all resolutions, but from the Jeremiah
of the Prohibitionists one would
think that this old world was going
to the devil at 2:40 gait.
All philosophers say that We should
tax that which the people will pay
for most readily. A majority of the
nations of the earth collect more than
one-half their revenue from taxes or
stimulants, and should we be fools
enough to let 60 this great source for
the benefit of politicians and drones ?
Col. Tillman touched up Governor

abuses of the dispensary and the
State colleges. We used to pay S45-

evident by the appearance of seven
candidates for the one vacancy. Com

his ideas by large map showing the
pecuniary condition of the railroads

crowd for the next Is minutes a

Governor Ellerbe said he had been
in Office only II months, but during
that time lie had been abused and
misrepreseHted by politicians who
canvassed the State while he was in

hands tied and his lips sealed, but

deny that I have ever made polltl-

Governor Ellerbe asked for reelec-
ton on his merits. He would not
accept it simply because OF the hon.

a second term. Commenting on the
State institutions he said the penl-
tentiary had been we'll managed,

Orangeburg, June 1G.-The bou-
bardment of Santiago probably re-
ouired the services of more 15-inch
guns than did that of Oraugeburg,
which occurred today, but it was not
a marker in point of duration and
rapid-fring to that Of the latter. For
four hours the political guns this

originalI of South Cardinals devoted
and daring aspirants for official
knighthood shelled the woods, but
despite terrific bombardment the
fair city is unharmed, and its citizens
are still dispensing hospitality and
good cheer to their we'll meaning cap
tors. No 'sHobson's choice" in its
anciant meaning, holds US here.
To one who has had the fortune to
portray three successive so called
Tillman campaigns, with all their
epithetical hurly-burly, the initial
meeting of the campaign of 1898
comes as mild tonic, without the
bracing and exciting features of its
predecessors. A small and rather
irresponsive audience Of between 100
and 200 persons sat for four hours
beneath the fusilade of more than a
score OF candidates.
OTHER COUNTIES, AIIENIIoN.
A speakers stand, the admirable
arrangement of which is worthy of
particular com ment, was erected un-
der the spreading oaks Of the Colored
State college, and on it were gather
ed the candidates, 20 in number, but
up to the hour scheduled to the be-
ginning Of the meeting they outnum-
bered the auditors, and it was ll:3O
when the speaking began.
The centre of interest during the
morning was the Orapgeburg hotel,
where the chafed each other in
friendly rivalry and plumed their
initial fight.
THE FEATURE OF THE MEETING
was the positive announcement that
G. C. Featherstone would enter the
gubarnatorial contest instead of op-
posing Major McSweeney for the
lieutenant governorship, leaving the
latter without opposition.
All rumors to the effect that the
