CONCERNING
SOME BILLS.
Levy Court Hears Opinion
That Registrars Had Author
ity to Have Printing Done.

The Levy Court met this morning
and alter passing the following reso-
luton, went into executive session:
Resolved: That it is the sense of
the Court that the bills of several
notarle public, for taking atiiiavits
of election and registration officers
should not be paid by this Court =,
there being no express provision Of
law for the payment OF the same by
the Levy Court.
Henry C. Conrad gave the follow
ing opinion relative to the printing
OF ceEtaiL bills.
'The provisions of the Registra.
ton law require that the Registra.
ton officers, being the Registrar
and the two assistants, shall within
a week after their last sitting in
August, cause TO be printed not
less than so copies Of the alphabet
ical list of registered voters.
That provision would indicate
that it Is the duty Of the Board at
its third session in August to order
the printing done. 1t is clear that
it should be done by the Board in
session, for, as matter of fact, the
Board is Board only when in
session, and there is no authority
for members of the Board to act as
when the Board is not
in session The law gives the cas-
tody and control Of the books t,
the Registrar. He is the nj
member of the Board who has tne
control Of the book containing the
list Of the registered voters. On
failure Of the Board while in ses-
sion to orier the printing of tho
lists, it would clearly be within the
scope of his duty as Registrar to
order the work done. i'll order that
he printing and posting of the lists
IS expressly provided by the law,
should not be omitted.
at is also clear that tp nom bers I
If the Board acting together ont OF
session, would not have authority
o give an order for printing the
lists, that would be valid in law.
"My conclus ion. therefore, is that
With the Board n session, a ma
ority Of tine Board would have the
lndoubted right to order the print
ng ol the lists, but, 10 the absence
# action BY the Board. the only
'erson qualified under the law to
rder the printing OF the lists.
'ould be the Registrar, and if or.
cred by any ore else it would i'm
ose no oblig alton on the county to
ay the bill for the work so order.

TURKEY SCARCE
FOR THANKSGIVING.
National Bird Not as Plentiful
as the Local Markets
Demand.
T0=MORROW'S PROGRAMME
BY All the Holiday Will Be
Observed as a Day Of
~Feasting. Good Wealth
er Is Promised.

There were fewer turkeys on sale
| 10 the street markets to-day thar
for number OF years The-sup
ply was scarcely as drop in the
bucket.
1t was at first reported that the
farmers withheld their fowls from
tho markets on account of the warm
weather which prevailed for sever
al days, spelling quantities OF noul-
try and game OF all sorts in the
m markets, but local com mmissio1 mer-
| chants realize that turkeys OF a
marketa bic size are very scarce,
especially in the South, where the
bulk OF the local supply has always
been obtained. The result of this
shortage was rather sharp ad-
vance in the price of gobblers yes-
terday, In the retail market tur.
keys brought 20 cents. The short
supply Of turkeys also caused an
increase in the demand for chickens,
with an advance in the price. They
brought IS cents showing an ad.
vance of from one to ore and half
since Monday. These two advances
were the only oues of any note re-
corded in the poultry market. There
were plenty of geese; in fact, mora
came to this market than for num-
Der Of years. Besides, there is
fairly good supply OF chickens. So
the people were able to procure
delicious fowl for their Thanks
giving dinner.
TO-MoRRoW's PROGRAMME.
Tomorrow having been set aside
by the President of the United
States as legal holiday for general
thanksgiving, the day will be OBJ
served in the usual manner, both as
a day of worship and day of
pleasure. Special services will be
held in nearly all of the churches,
and football games socia bles, hunt
ing trips, dinners, dances and other
pastimes will be INDUCED in by
Wilmingtonians. A number of
marriages have been announced to
take place during the day.
BY all the holiday will be observ-
ed as day of feasting The elab-
orately decorated and richly adorn- |
ed mahogany table of the well-to-do
and the plain pine one of the hum
blest citizen will both bear one
thing in common that day-the
much priced and eagerly sought
after Thanksgiving turkey. The

weather during the day, which will

UP GO SMALL STEWS.
Col. Ainsrow Finds That Fifteen Cent
Orders Arc Not Profitable.

"Smal Stews and Pans 20 cents. y
That is the sign which greeted
customers at Ainscow's restaurant
to-day
1t is not because OF all increase in
the price of ovstcrs, according to
Clarence NJ. Young, manager for
Col. AjnScow. Oysters are pretty
high, Dut that has been the rule for
some time. and when ''smaI stews
and pans we're selling for Is cents.
The reason for the change, says
Mr.. Young, is that the attendants
who cook the oysters have not ad-
hered to the rule of using only six
oysters to small order. When
using more than that, the restaurant
makes no money, according to Mr..
Young. Men who formerly order
ed large stews and pans, which cost
% cents, have been giving small
orders. having apparently discover
ed that they got almost as much
for Is cents as they did for % cents.
