\ HARD WORKED LAW.

The national bankruptcy laws be-

congress for years. The number tax
ing advantage of its many provisions
is astonishing, the speculations regard
ing its merits as diversified as possible.
In specific cases it is claimed to be a
worthy provision. but in general it
allows people who have made no hon

and creditors who rely on the bank

ROUGH ON THE "ANTIS, -

Sergt. William J. Barnes, of the
First South Dakota volunteers, who
served in the Philippines, says the
traitors who style themselves anti
expansionists are really responsible
for the deaths of more American SOL
diers than Aguinaldo and all his fol-
lowers" and that "the Filipinos never
thought of attacking us until the
speeches of some of these copperheads
had been sent over to Manila, were
translated and passed through the
lines to the Ladrones who were wait
ing outside Manila for chance to sack
that city. They gathered from those
utterances that we (the soldiers) were
not backed by the American govern
ment, but we're a set of robbers and
towards like themselves, and that the
great mass of the American people
would rejoice to see US driven into the
sea. If these howlers at home had
been silenced in the beginning there
would never have been any war in
Luzon after the taking of Manila"
Truly, the American ''antis'' have
much to answer for.-Mo0rehe0d Mde-
pendent

THEIR KICKS SHOW THE NECESSITY.
After a whole lot of bluffing and
beefing the Minneapolis commission
men have decided to comply with the
provisions of the Grindeland law
which makes it incumbent on them to
give an accurate account of sales; pro-
vides that they shall furnish sufficient
bonds for the faithful discharge of the
trust imposed in them by consignees,
and compels them when required to do
so to submit record Of their transac-
tions TO the railroad commissioners.
The very fact that they objected so
strenuously to these reasonable and
wholesome provisions goes very far to
prove the necessity of tho enactment
of the law in question. The consignees
have right to the protection the law
affords, and commission men doing
business on the square should find
nothing in it. to seriously object to-

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

In another column appears re-
port of last nights meeting of the
Public Library board, and this
calls to mind the fact that the i'm
portance of the public library and
free reading room of Florence
does not yet seem to be fully i'm
pressed upon the minds of our
people. The fact that nearly two
hundred books were taken out and
read during single month shows
something of the benefits arising
from the library, and when it is
known that there are nearly always
strangers in the reading room, the
value of the department can be ap-
preciated.
The fact that the venture thus
far has been SO much a success is
due to the tireless efforts of only a
very few individuals, and it is time
that they meet with more general
cooperation. Florence may well
be proud of her Public Library,
and should be interested in in
creasing its usefulness by contrib
uting literally to its support

THE CITY FATHERS.
Legislation at Last Nights Coun-
Gil Meeting.

Lewis, Delbert, hicharuson, NC
Creery and Blunt present.
After reading and approving the
minutes of the previous meeting,
communications were received.
The first was from the Geddes &
Seerie Stone company containing
new bond to indemnify the town
against any contingency arising
from the Shook case, now pending
in the district court. A communi-
cation was also received from w
K. Mcdonald, calling attention to
the fact that a bill which he
presented last spring had not been
allowed. The bill seemed to be
considered exorbitant, and on mo-
ton Mcdonald will be requested
to present the bill in person and
explain the different items.
The special committee appointed
to investigate the hotel water rates
recommended that the rate for
each room above fifteen, be made
81 80 instead of $500, as now fixed,
and the board acted accordingly.
The special committee appointed
to secure a safe for the town rec
commended that the safe offered by
O. l.. Gibbs for $40 be purchased.
The clerk was accordingly instructed
to buy that safe.
The committee to which was re-
ferred the request of Mr.. Burnett
to move house from East Second
to Main street recommended that
the request be denied. and the re-
port was adopted.
The reports of the different town
officers were then read and ac-
cepted.
Mr.. Burnett then asked and was
granted permission to address the
council. He cited instances where
men of considerable property had
moved buildings, and been allowed
to build houses not in conformity
with the fire ordinance, and asked
if it was because he was an ex-
pressman that his request was de-
nied The board was unable to
make him believe that he was be
ing treated fairly, and the mayor
finally ordered him to sit down.
A new ordinance intended to
cut down the rate of license on
play houses was read, and on mo-
ton of trustee Lewis was laid up
on the table indefinitely. Mr..
Torpey, manager of the opera
house, then asked and was given
permission to address the council.
He simply notified the board that
by refusing to lower the license,
they had closed the opera house,
for hereafter the hall would be
used for other purposes than
shows.
George Collins asked for lease
on the city reservoir in order to
put up ice, This was referred to
the fire and water committee with
power to act.
Mr.. Black, of the American
Hand Laundry asked for better
water rate, and the minimum was
cut from $50 to S25 per year.
The usual grist of bills were
then audited and ordered paid. |
The finance committee laid out
the bill of A. L. Harris for services
as marshal, but on motion the bill
was finally ordered paid.
Ben. Elzenhoeffer then arose to
inquire why his bills we're not al
