Mayor Ierger and Councilman
Herman WlIczmsli visited Mem
phis this week to examine the
workings Of the crematory inIoper-
alton in that city, and to consult
with DR.. IIebcr Jones IN regard
to the establishment of similar
plant in Greenyille, which Mr..
Dixon offers to erect and operate
here on terms which can only be
advantageous to the city, and
which remove all risk Of loss or
disappointment to the city from
the enterprise Mayor Ierger
was SO much pleased with what be
saw and learned that an agreement
will be Mt once entered into with
Mr.. Dixon andthe crematorY erect
ed on the principle that If it does
not give satisfaction and perform
all that is expected Ct Il the con-
uoct Is to ,5jt Considered at an end
and the city responsible tor moth
ing, The problem of disposing
of garbage has become Il serious
one in GreenyiIIe. Since the re-
moyal ofthe dumpin order TO sink
a mattress it has been found to be
impossible to dispose Of the city
refuse in Il satisfactory manner.
Serious objections are made to
every plan proposed; and, as it is
no longer possible to throw it into
the river or place it anywhere in
the city limits, its consumption by
is the only plan left.
Mayor lergcr found that the Gre
had no effect on adjoining
the process being entire
Iy odorless, andno complaint made
by those living inits neighborhood.
Work on the plant for Greenyille
will he begun as soon rs practic-
able, but no site for the furnac es
has vet been selected,

Tried Friends Best.


According to its annual custNm'
the Greenville High School ccle-
brated Washington's birthday
with appropriate ceremonial At
l / Il. m, a large audience, COM
posed of the teachers and children,
parents and citizons, assembled in
the main hall of the school, which
was tastefully decorated with flags,
among which the banner of Eng
land, as well as the stars and stripes
was to be seen. Here and there
about the temporary platform and
along the walls were marble and
plaster busts and and casts Of
masters in various branches of art
and science, and pictures of per-
sons and scenes famous in Amcri-
can history. These busts and pic
lures are the property of the
school, having been donated at |
various times by teachers, gradu-
ates, classes, or friends. The
principal feature of the occasion
was a colonial tea party, in which
Mrs. Washington and her most
notable contemporary danes, in
correct costumes of the period, |
were represented by young ladies
of the higher grades, who sat at
ease and conversed about the life,
works and character of General
Washington, occasionally pausing
IN their occupations of knitting,
etc, to listen to
music admirably rendered by some
one of their number on the piano.
The little play was exceedingly
lainty, graceful and artistic, and
its charming simplify gave Il vivid
glimpse at the life of a hundred
years ago. The originator of the
happy idea was Miss Carrie Storm,
o whose artistic ingenuity the
school already owes 50 many sim
lar successes.
The observance of the day closed ,
with the presentation Of Il hand
some steel engraving of Washing
on crossing the Delaware, donat-
ID by one Of the younger classes, =
md presented, in the name Of her ST
classmates, by Miss Sallie Hunt. h

Bob Burdette says; "There are
young men who do not work, my
son, but the world is not proud Of
them. 1t does not know their
names even; ii simply speaks Of
them as Old-so and Sos boys.
Nobody hates them; the great bu-
sy world doesn't even know that
they are there. So find out what
you want to be and DO, and take
off your coat and make a dust ia

BETTER STREETS.


In his next message to the Coun-
ell Mayor Yerger will recommend
that an election be ordered TO allow
the citizens of Greenyille to vote
upon the question Of issuing fifty
thousand dollars worth ct bonds
Tor the purpose of paving The
streets, or so much of them us can
be paved for that sum.
This resolution of the Mayor is
ms method Of meeting the insis-
tent clamor of the public for an
Improvement in the streets Il de-
mand which has become impemous
since the experience of the past
few weeks, During the freeze, it
will be only too well remembered,
the condition of the business
streets was such that hauling by
vehicles had to be abandoned, and
almost complete stagnation of bust
ness was the result. Indeed, some
leading merchants claimed that
the state Of affairs was worse dur
ing the memorable "cold week"
than during either the overflow or
the quarantine. There has been
but little improvement since. AT
ter the thaw set in the deep mud
was almost as bad Us the frozen
ground. 1t was Il common sight |
to see dray loaded with one |
trunk or barrel, completely "stall-
ed on Washington Avenue, with
half the wheels visible, and the
mule sunk to his belly in the glue
like mud. Such a state of affairs
is not to be borne, and business
men argue that the loss is greater
than would be the cost of prevent
ing it. BY ordering an election
the Mayor washes his hands of
the responsibility, and fixes it
upon the people themselves, If
the election is carried, Of course
tax payers will have only them
selves to blame for the extra bur
len of debt. If defeated the
Mayor and Council can no longer
De reproached for a condition for
which they cannot be held re-
'ponsible.
The success Of such an election ,
S very doubtful. If it could have
)een held two weeks ago it is !
that 1t would have gone
trough with a rush, for the need :
vas great and the situation des- :
,erate. But the town is already =
arrying Il heavy burden of taxa :
iona burden 50 heavy as of :
en- to deter people from owning
property or building within its
limits. Any effort to increase '
his debt will be met with vehe- 5
1ent opposition; and it is likely i
hat such an election, held with dry e
treets and good weather, would Il
esult in apublic veto of the eX- c
ensive undertaking. r
Whatever the people may say I
With their ballots, the fact remains l
nd will be disputed by no one
hat an improvement in the streets
sed for traffic is absolutely essen
al, and if it can by any means be e
ccompIished it is clearly the first "
nd most important duty before n
le people of Greenyille, $
