The City Clerks Resignation.

There was considerable talk yesterday
about the definite news that City Clerk
Ham f. Smith would resign his position
to become bookkeeper for the Carolina
Trust Company.
BY a typographical error yesterday it
was stated that the name of Mr.. w. II.
Briggs had been mentioned among poss-
sible candidates for the position. 1t
should have read Mr.. w. II. Bragg.
Mr.. c. d. Arthur said yesterday, in
speaking of the matter, that he was not
candidate for the position.
1t is possible that the resignation OF
Mr.. Smith as City Clerk will come with
the first of the year and that he will
take a position with the Carolina Trust
Company at that time.
