GREENvILLE ELECTRIC CARS
THEY WILL BE IN OPERATION
IN NINETY DAYS.
Our Citizens Are Highly Elated Over
Their Coming.

Our Citizens Are Highly Elated Over
Their Coming.
The whizz of the electric cal
will soon be heard on the promi-
nent streets of our city. There
is no ''if" now standing in the way
of their coming. Last Tuesday
the City Council at meeting, ex-
tended the lighting contract of the
city to ten years, with the Citizens
Light and Car Company, repre-
sented here by Mr.. j. A. Gaboury.
One of the conditions of the con-
tract was that by October next,
the company should have in oper-
alton an electric Car line. This
line at the start will run from the
Southern depot up Walnut Street
to Washington Avenue, thence
down Washington Avenue by the
court house to the Southern Rail
road crossing. Not over Is min
utes will be required to make the
trip in one direction, and q 5 cent
fare is all that can be charged.
1t is the Company's intention to
extend. the line to the other streets
in the city as soon as practicable.
The cars and material for the con-
structlon OF the road has already
been ordered, and if the weather
permits and no serious interior
ence comes up, Mr.. Gaboury ex-
poets to have the cars running in
ninety days.
The Council is to be congrat-
ulated blythe citiznes of the city for
this progressive movement, also
on the contract made with the
above company, for by its terms
it compels the Light & Car Com
pany to render prompt and faith
full service in both the light and
car contracts, at the same time
getting them at cost below most
cities in the country.
While we are u strong believer
in municipal ownership of such
plants, still at this time, under ex-
listing circumstances, the Board
has no doubt, done the best for the
city's interest, and If any one was
to have this contract the Times
would sooner see Mr.. Gaboury
secure it, as he is interested
the city's welfare more than any
out side party.
The building of this service will
tend to draw other industries to
the city, and we make this pro-
phecy, that the Moses who ali ghts
from the train or boat ten years
hence, the expiration of this con-
tract, will behold a city of fac
tories, magnificent buildings, beau
tiful streets, complete car service
and people whose appearance
shows they live on the fat of the
and.

ONLY A JUDGE.

The reappointment of Will X
McLaurin as Judge of his district
has developed quite strong OPP
position. Last week a committee
composed of members of the bar
headed by w. l.. Magruder of that
district, called on Governor Lon
gino and asked him for the APP
pointment of another instead of Nc
Laurin as judge, at the same time,
preferring charges against him.
Now if we take as the truth, the
reported statement made by Mr..
Henry during last summers cam
paign that If Judge Longino was
elected Governor. McLaurin would
be reappointed Judge, these gen
tlemen In their fight against him
are not only wasting'their time, but
their money. But again, If we are
to take words Of Governor Lon
gino as true, shat he never made
promise or pledge to secure his
nomination. . Judge McLaurln
will be weighed in the same
balances as the other applicants
and.should his character, ability be
such as not to justify his holding
the high off ce of judgeship, even
if his brother did appoint h,", we
do not believe Governor Lon mo
will.
The argument of the Vicks-
burg Dispatch that those who
made the charges were not in &C
cord with the dominant party is
poor argument, for if the charges
are true, it makes no difference to
what party he belongs or those
the charges, but any man
with such an arraignment against
him should not be appointed to
a Mississippi Judgeship.

Around and About the City.

With cheapness of asphalt ano
its long lite the City Counci
should adopt it as sidewalk mater
lal and stop granting the putting
down of plank sidewalks, which
In few years, become loose by
the nails drawing out, making il
dangerous topedestrians and the
city liable to suits. Another and
stronger arguments against it is
its rottening propenslties which
produces bad health to any city.
The sewer bitches near the
Greenville Cotton Oil Mill and
Ginning Co., is sight to behold.
The bitches have to be dug %
feet, and before they get half
way they strike water and the
sides commence caving. To avoid
this, both sides have to be braced
and planked in, and from the APP
pearance they now present, one
would judge that excavations are
being made to find one of the pre-
historic cities of the mound build
ers.

Summer will soon be npon us
and all the stagnant places of the
city should have attention. The
Street Commissioner, or whose
duty it is to look after this mat
ter, should have the forces at
work cleaning them out. A walk
from Walnut Street to the Police
Court will show you ditch that
contains every germ of diseas.

Senator BradIey's bill to builc
and operate a cotton factory BY
the convicts OF the State is al
right. Instead of receiving ) cts
per pound for the state cotton the
factory will raise it to Is and 80
cents in manufactured form.
Should the bill pass we would like
to suggest to the Board of Con-
troll, that we have the city for the
factory. As to location it is near
convict farms, accessible by water
and rail, cheap transportation, free
from yellow fever and healthy as
most town IN the hills, are few
of the city's good qualities.

The Manila Times of the 18th.
gives an account of scout made
by a detachment of infantry, COM
manded by Capt. j. M. Liddell. a
we'll known Mississippian, former
ly editor of the Grenadian. As a
memento OF their expedition they
now have in their possession a
Filipino artillery piece which will
be always priced by those who
took part in the expedition. The
piece is combination of a large
3 inch water pipe, four feet long,
around this is wound several thick
nesses of telegraph wire. The
breech block is we'll screwed in
and fastened; the touch-hole has
been freshly drilled; the gun COM
plete weighs about 125 pounds.
Now the problem to solve by the
captors is which is the most dan
gerous, in front or behind it when
fred.

Two alarms of fire last Tuesday
morning called out our fire depart

be only a ffue on fire in district

some gasline on the floor of the

glarlng blaze started the yell.
Both were put out before any
damage was done. Greenville's

city.

In reappointing Judge Powell
to the judgeship of his dis

Longino is not in office to punish

but to do that and only that
what is for the good of the state
and honor to himself. Judge
Powell has made Judge whose
