BROATCH PLAYING POLITICS
Mayor MOOres Expresses Opinion on Fire
Department Fund Question.
SAYS DEPARTMENT MUST Be MAINTAINED
his Honor ThInks II IL Broatch's Game
q Discharge Half the Firemen
TO Make Places for
His own Men.

1T Is all q great, big bluf,' said Mayor
Moores. speaking Of the action Of the Board
of Fire and Police Commissioners looking
toward the reduction of the FIRE department
20 keep within the fund for the present
year.
THAT board" he continued, us making
q great fuss over the lack Of funds and the
necessity of cutting down the department
10 conform with the requirements Of law;
but Mr.. Broatch's real purpose, IL he could
carry It out, is TO discharge a lot Of men
at this time, and then when the new APP
preparation becomes available after January
d to appoint his W men to help him in
his political aspirations next spring.
"But the FIRE department must not be
cut down, the people will not stand 1t. Our
department is not sufficient as it is and 1t
must not be crippled in any way. We have
been trying for years to run a fire de-
partment for a city Of 125, 900 inhabitants on
the basis Of a place OF 5000, and 1t is a
wonder TO me that we have Jared as well as
we have. Our appropriation of S125 900 Is
barely enough to pay the actual running
expenses Of the department, without leav-
Ing any margin for enlargement, or even
for renewal Of equipment as II becomes
worn out, and the only natural result has
been a growing overlap Of the fire depart
ment fund. Until the appropriation is In
creased that overlap will continue to grow
and must necessarily do so.
Insurance Rates Lower.
1.-THE other Board of FIRE and Police
Commissioners-the board which was APP
pointed by me-added ten men to the fire
department last spring at the urgent re-
quest OF the Commercial club and the
huafnaQa man nf tho Cffu and I nOfina The
Broatch board has had some criticism tc
Dfer on that score, but I also notice that
that increase in the department reduced
The rate OF insurance in the business dis.
trict just two points. Certainly wher
that phase of the question is considered
1t is plain that the business men Of the
city will not allow the fire department
TO be cut down even temporarily to fur.
Their the plans OF Mr.. Broatch. For thu
Immediate contingency some way must b,
found to at least keep the department III
60 its present standard and for the future
We must take. measures to secure a ma.
terial increase in the appropriation"
Discussing another phase of the samt
question, one OF the member Of the cit
council said; II don't see why the BoarC
of Fire and Police Commissioner shoulC
put 1t up to the counc to find a way on
of this predicament or to help 1t out in an!
way except as a way Of shifting the re
sponsibility from itself. II the members o
the Board Of Fire and Police Commission
ers would be personally liable for an over
draft Of the fire department fund, so woult
the members of the council be PERSONAL,
liable for any excess OF the fire department
appropriation. Either alternative would b
\ direct violation Of the law, as I under
stand 1t, and either body would in the sam
manner and in the same measure be guilt

BISHOP Of ALABAMA.
DR.. Kershaw, of Charleston, is
Prominently Spoken OF.

Demopolis, Ala, Oct. 6.-At the
Episcopal counsel of the diocese of
Alabama, which will meet at Mont
gomery on the 9Th instant, an election
for bishop of Alabama to succeed the
Iamented Bishop Barnwell is to take
place.
It is likely that another South Caro-
liniani will be elected to this high
Office. The names of several pro-
minent preachers viii be presented to
the council, but it is generally be-
lieved that the honor will fall on DR..
John>Kershaw, rector of st. Michaels
church, Charleston.
Next to DR.. Kershaw the name of
Rev. Mr.. Query, formerly Of Flor
ence, S. c., but now of Sewanee,
Tenn, is the one most spoken of as
likely to be the new Bishop of the
State. It is very probable that one
of theseeloquent divines will be Bishop
BarnWell's successor.

BLIND TdaREss CAPTURED.
Judy sanders Pulled by the Police and
Lot Of Whiskey Seized.

Armed with a warrant issued by
Magistrate Wells at the request OF
Chief of Police Bradford the police on
last SUNDAY raided the house Of Judy
Sanders, colored, and captured large
lot OF blind ssGiger whiskey, beer and
wine. The Liquor vas turned over to
Sheriff Scarborough and Judy was ar
rested for selling liquor in violation
fof the law.
This woman has loug been suspected
of selling whiskey and her place has
been raidsd more than once. Only a
few months ago she was before the
Mayor and was sentenced to pay fine
of $50 for selling whiskey and keeping
disorderly house.
Apart from this seizure of the con-
traband liquor the evidence against
Judy Sanders is strong, and it is prac-
tically certain that she will be convict
ed of selling liquor. In view of her
previous record and reputation her
punishment cannot fail to be as severe
as the law permits.
The manner in which the raid and
arrest came about Sunday shows
that very little thing is. occasionally
productive of serious consequences.
During the day a negro boy went to
Mr.. Edgar SINNERS house, near whom
Jady Sanders lives, and presented an
order for a pint Of whiskey. Seeing
that the order was intended for Judy
Sanders, Mr.. Skinner directed the boy
to her house. In a few minutes the
boy came out with the whiskey. Mr..
Skinner notified the police immediate
", the warrant was obtained, the raid
made and Judy and the liquor was
soon in the hands of the police.
The trial of Judy Sanders for selling
LIQUOR in violstion of the dispensary
law has not been held yet by Magis-
trate Wells.

There were number of May bask-
cts hung on door knobs in Sarato-

the custom grow, only in this
country the wild flowers do not
come soon enough and resort has
to be had to artificial flowers.
These flowers are made of crepe
paper and the baskets are capable
OF being beautifully decorated
with the same material. We have
seen some three-cornered baskets,
dainty little creations and no pref.
tier remembrance can find its way
to any door than one of these lit.
tie gifts that bring with it SO
much of the good will and esteem
of the donor.

Improving Spring Creek Lane.

County Commissioner c. W.
Maxfeld is having some very
much needed work done in the
Spring creek lane. 1t is being
graded up from Is inches to two
feet clear across the bottom and
raised up above any possibility of
overflow from the high water of
the creek. Heretofore this lane
has been almost impossible on ac-
count of flooding by high water.
The present work is permanent
and timely, as there is an immense
amount of freighting done over
that road.
