tributed to the Confederate reunion 10000
Moro Bella cigars. These cigars cost S35 per

Wilson, in making this contribution not
onlv contributes to the pleasure of the ''oid
vets" but be also displays long business
head in the unique way he advertises u
verv fine cigar which his concern is sole
agent for in this State. We venture 10 say
that after the reunion is over the Moro

The Town Council met recently and
common report had it, they were gong to
take some action in the matter OF running
| the loafels from the streets. We have not
been able to ascertain what they did AT the
meeting. if anything at al! was done. but
We see that the chief of police OF Charleston
has recently gone to work and given orders
to his force to clear the streets; the result
of il is that the changing has been con-
/ siderabiy augmented and fewer loaters
are on the streets in that city. We
understand that there is some doubt
about the towns authority il this mat
ter. In our opinion not the slightest
doubt exists. The council has Il right
to make such ordinances as will best
police the town, aud there is Il statute CIV
ing the town power to send municipal con-
victS 10 the county chaiog gang II the way OF
g loan. There is no use soaring ut Shad-

in fact, the woods around Lake City are
very productive OF alibis, and the defend
