WEEDS.
City Would Be
Rid Of Them,
And an Ordinance Has
Been Prepared.
Fun and Sarcasm at Expense of
the Municipality.

There was considerable talk Mon
day evening at Council meeting over an
ordinance providing that property
owners be compelled to cut all noxious
weeds that may bee growing on their
property. Mr.. Ormes said this
would be unfair on the part
of the city, until 1t had set good
example by cutting its own weeds,
which, he said, were growing luxur.
iantly along some of the streets.
Mr.. Wilhelm said the ordinance
might be a pretty good thing, if it
could-or would-be enforced. ''There
are a number of city ordinances which
are not enforced" he declared, land
this lack of enforcement makes Grim
inals out of the citizens. SO long as
ordinances are in the book they should
be enforced. | will be in favor of this
ordinance, if l am given any assur-
ance that it will be more than a farce
Citizen John l.. Skunk, of 204 Chit
tenden St, stated that there were bur
docks along some of the streets in his
neighborhood that were as tail as a
man, and Councilman Manderbach
went him several better by declaring
that there are weeds along streets in
the northern part of the city nearly five
feet tall and covering the ground as
thickly as 'feas on Il dog"
Councilman Hill was enthusiastic
over the ordinance, declaring that the
welfare of the city demanded its pas
sage. He endeavored to have a sim
liar ordinance passed last summer.
"We might make some of the city
prisoners work out fines by cutting
weeds. If it Is advisable, attach a
ball and chain to them. AS it Is now,
we send number of prisoners to the
Canton workhouse, and people there
get the benefit of their labor. We
might as well get some good out of
them"
The ordinance passed first reading
but it was held up when put to vote
to suspend rules and place 1t on its sec,
ond reading.

Columbus, o., Aug. 19.- Governor
Nash has concluded to have his code
as drawn put at once in the form of a
bill. 1t will be placed in type during
this week, This will save the State
the expense of having it printed again,
when the Legislature meets. A great
many requests have been received for
copy of the code and 1t is probable
that at least three thousand copies of
the bill will be printed 1t seems to
be conclusively proved to Governor
Nash, that the code got out by the
betrayal of his own co-laborers In the
making of the code. While much
chagrined by the premature publica-
tion, he seems to prefer to let the mat
ter rest in doubt rather than to have
one of his colleagues convicted of
treachery. There is no question that
but three copies of the code were in
existence, beside the one that the
Governor has in his desk. Each of
his three coadjutors had one Of these.
A common rumor about the State
House Monday was that the sum of
$3.50 was paid by the newspapers that
got the code, and that this money
was paid to the person that had 1t in
charge.

We are opposed to the establishment
OF II State furilizer factory which appears
to be right popular among our legislators.
Such All enterprise would utilize convict
labor and probably cheaper fertilizers
for the farmers, thereby rendering them
a temporary bcneft. But we oppose it
both rs IL principle and policy. The
State has no right to monopolize any
business nor to enter into competition
with Enterprises already established She
had just as well establish cotton factory
rs a fertilizer factory. She had better 90
into the grocery business than remain in
the liquor business, for the former is
more respectable. Convict labor should
not be brought into competition with
honest free labor in any industry. Let
the convicts be employed Oh the roads
and OH such works rs are intended for
the benefit Of the whole people. and let
the State look after the legitimate objects
of governmental other words mind her
own business -Gaifncy Ledger.
The fertilizer bill we think has been
killed. it has not it should be. We
agree fully with the Ledger that the con-
victs should be put to work OH the public
roads and if they were it would only be a
short time before we could have a system
of good roads. We do not think the
State is making a great deal out Of it's
FARMS and we know they are as we'll
managed as it is possible to have them,
but when frcshets come the crops are de-
stroyed and the management cannot pre-
vent their coming. 1t is we'll to keep
the Lexington farms to make a support
for the convicts. But we notice the leg
islature has refused to stop farming or to
sell the farms. But the hiring to private
parties is no longer permitted and there
may be chance to put some Of the con-
victs on the roads.

On Friday afternoon special meet
ing Of tho city council was held when
Mr.. +. l.. Ingram, general suprrinten-
don't OF construction Of the Southern
Boil Telephone and Telegraph Conn
pany, appeared before them to present
his arguments In favor Of letting his
company In without IL restriction us to
prices to be charged AMI certain other
sections embodied within the franchise
granted by council. 1t will be remrm-
bored that some time ago, about the 9Th
Of December, council granted this com
pany an unrestricted franchise, which
action they rescinded on Dec. If, by the
passage OF an ordinance granting the
Bell Company tho same franchise ns
that now enjoyed by Mr.. l. w. Floyd.
A petition WAS Immediately circulated
among the people OF the city asking
council to grant the unrestricted fran
chise and received the signatures OF
majority OF the citizens OF the town.
Council, however, at u subsequent
meeting stood by its action.
The meeting on Friday afternoon was
held In Mayor Klcttncr's Office, only
ono member OF tho council being absent
Mr.. Ingram stated that his object In
being here WAS to SEQ just what coun-
Gil wanted his company to do and if
there was ahy possible chance to get
together. His company WAS just start
Ing work on the other lines Throughout
the State and would like to have the
matter Of getting into tho city limits
OF Newberry decided as soon as possi-
bic.
Mayor Klottner snid that the council
had already stated Its position in the
matter aud 1t was now left to The tclc-
phone company to decide whether or
not they would come. II anything was
to be done, a proposition would have
to come from them. which would be
considered by council.
Mr.. Ingram said that it would be
impossible for his company to accept
tho ordinance passed, but be would like
proposition.
Mayor Klettner asked for legal
opinion from the city attorney, MIR.
Blease, as to whether council could
consider this matter before tho cxpira-
tlon OF the sixty days allowed for the
acceptance OF the former ordinance.

II this could not he done, then his COM
pany would simply skirt the town

in the hope that In tho near future you
will decide to let us IN.
Mayor Klcttner here wished to state
that it. was the desire Of council that
the BELL Company should come in, and
that council had granted them the
same franchise as the local company
enjoys, which franchise had been this
day officially rejected. as to tho re-
str.ctions placed upon the price TO be
