An ordinance was passed, under sus'
pension Of rules, making it an oflense
to deface the Confederate monument
or to trespass upon its grounds. The
penalty for this ofIense is fine of not
less than s. 90 nor more than 500.
On motion of Mr.. Erambert the
Street Committee was instructed to
have the reservoir in front of the
residence of Mr.. w. NJ. Davidson filed
with dirt. Also the reservoir near the
residence Of Maj. Martin.
Mr.. Davidson, who ever since his
membership in the Council began has
advocated the creation Of sinking
fund to be used only for the cancella-
ton Of bonds as they may become due,
again pressed the subject. He moved
that $500 per annum be reserved for a
sinking fund. There was no second to
the motion, and the town will contin-
ne without any definite means of re-
ducing its enormous bonded indebted
ness.
Judge Watkins spoke briefly on the
dlspensary movement. He said he
had far four years been investigating
the results Of dispensaries in other sec
tons, and felt satisfied with their
workings. He believed the town au-
thorities should as soon as practicable,
devote one half of the towns interest
in The dispensary profits to the pay
ment Of its bonds as they become due.
This, however, could only be done after
an amendment is made to the present
law by the Legislature next session.
Judge Watkins informed the Council
that from the most conservative estl-
mate, based Oh the sales of whiskey in
Farmvile last year, the town would
receive not less than $1,000 per annum
as its share of profits. He had been
informed that $50, 600 was the amount
sold last year, and it would require only
ole-ldlI OF lndt dluDuul W MANI ca
ville's three-eighths worth $1,000. lie
said he did not know how the dispen-
sary would act for the place, but he
hoped it would turn out as successfully
as those who favored it wish.
On motion Of Major Martin the
Mayor and Treasurer were authorized
to negotiate another temporary loan for
the purpose of meeting the towns cur
rent expenses.
A bill for 81 $50 presented by the
county of Prince Edward for one mile
of macadam road, was referred to the
Street Committee.
The bill of Superintendent Wicker
for electric light supplies was referred
to the chairman Of the Light Commit
tee for approval.

Test Farm Gift May be Held Up.

Inc hlcumOnu News
There is Just bare chance that Char
lotte county will not give that test farm
to the state as has been extensively
advertised
Commissioner of Agriculture Koiner
returned home Saturday night and this
morning he was informed by one OF
his corps that on last Friday Colonel
Richard V. Gaines, Of Charlotte, had
visited his office and left word. that he
had talked with the supervisors Of
Charlotte and the tender Of the test
farm would I've withdrawn.
Mr.. Koiner said that Colonel Gaines
had been candidate for manager of
the test farm and had appeared before
the board last week in Lynchburg and
was given an hour in which to set forth
his qualifications for the Office. The
board decided to elect Mr.. Heiges, Of
Pennsylvania, and it is thought that
this was not agreeable to Colonel
Gaines.
Mr.. Koiner said that he hardly
thought that the supervisors Of Char
lotte would decline to present the farm,
as there was nothing but respect and
kindly feeling for Colonel Gaines, and
the board simply thought Mr. Heiges
Letter fitted for the management of the
farm.
The supervisors are yet to be heard
from.

Easter Sunday i'm FarmyilIe.

The day was an ideal one. Sun
bright, sky blue, air bracing, bird.

and fairer than their predecessors. In
one home at least the lily shone out
clothed in spotless white, while the
violets filed many Of our homes with
their modest presence and maidenly
purity Bonnets were never hand

music never sweeter, preaching never

from under such influences and from
such sunlit mountain tops Of privilege
men and women should return to life's
work with more Of charity, faith, cour-
age and good cheer. Our hope is that
they may.

much as any other? 1t had not oc-

Major Knight Serionslr Ill.

Fear is expressed as to the condition
Of Major John T. Knight, Of Richmond,
the son Of our countyman, Capt. JnO. II.
Knight. He is. now in the govern
ment hospital at Washington Barracks.
He is suffering from a complication of
diseases contracted in the Philippines.
His weakened condition makes the
treatment of his case exceedingly diff
iicult. Ii will be remembered that
Major Knight suffered a severe attack
from tropical fever while i'm Manila
and it was due to this that he returned
to the United States. While enroute
to this country he suffered pa relapse
and arrived in Washington on Sunday
in a critical condition. A telegram
was sent to Mrs. Knight who met the
train in Washington with an ambu-
lance and a surgeon. Major Knight
was taken to the government hospital
where he is now confined.
Both Mrs. Knight and her father,
General p. NJ. b. Young, are at his bed
side While some fear is expressed as
to Major Knights condition, hope is
now entertained for his recovery.
He will be taken to Richmond as
soon as he is able to travel. 1t is now
thought, however, that this will not
occur for some time.

John I. McKenna, Of New Canton, es-

willingness TO 90 if the people want

inclined to push their aspirations in
the least degree, and the e is no organ
ization in the party in opposition to
Mr.. HUBBARD, so it looks as if he will
have a walk-over for the nomination;
but this time, nomination will not be
equivalent TO election.
Mr.. Hubard's warm personal friends,
whom | class myself, think it |
would enhance his political future if he |
would withdraw from this race. The
feeling is prevalent that the party has
honored him sufficiently up to date;
and the State Senatorship is looming
up in the near future, for which the
newspapers say he is an asprant.
