of the last two years, since the can

TILL
!. BUILDINGS
Houses Going Up Steadily
Regardless of Labor
Complications

There are strikes impending and
threa tened strikes looking Spokane
squarely in the face, but building oper-
atoms are going right along, and from
present indications will continue
throughout the winter.
Several large lodging houses con-
tanning from fifty to 100 rooms are
nearing completion, and others are in
contemplation. The lodging house ca
pacity of the city will be increased by
several hundred rooms by the first OF
the year. This estimate does not in
clude the large addition which MIR.
Pedicord will make to his hotel, hav-
ing already purchased the adjoining
property on the west side of his hos
telry for that purpose.
Victor Dessert of the Pacific hotel
has also purchased the lot at the cor
ner of Bernard and Riverside for the
purpose of erecting another hotel to be
conducted along the same lines as the
one he now manages.
While the architects and builders are
busy in putting up lodging houses, the
property owners are not making many
plans for the building Of new business
blocks. There is a great scarcity OF
business houses for rent, and the fail
ure to put up new buildings is SAID
to lie attributable to laborstroubles.

In Favor Of Father.

Two pretty little Chinese girls, the

noon to testify in behalf of their par
ent in the case which he has brought
against James Setty, Turk, whom
the father charges with the larceny cf
goods by embezzlcment.
The Turk bought the goods to sell
by peddling, but made no return.
The little girls who are to testify
speak excellent English and will tell
about the bargain made between their
father and Setty. Both girls attend
the Franklin school and the younger
is in the fourth grade. They wear
clothes like American children, and,
except for their little pigtails, might
be taken at a glance for bronzed
American children.

Legislative Elections.

There are not a great many va.
cancies to be filed Mt the APP
proaching session of the general
assembly. There is more
competition for places on The dis
pensary management than for
other positions. 1t is understood
that w. ID. Crum will not stand
for reelection as commissioner,
and the principal aspirants to the
place are Representative Tatum
OF Orangeburg, and Capt. w. ID.
Black, head book keeper of the
dlspensary. 1t is stated also that
l.. j. Williams desires to retire
from the chairmanship Of the
board Of dispensary directors and
H. II. Evans wants his place.
Among the candidates for place
on the dispensary directorate,
are w. McB. Sloan Of Columbia:
John Bell Towil of Lexington;
Representative Walker of Barn
well; Representative Gourdin of
Williamsburg, and Senator Nc
Dermott of Horny. 1t looks like
the fight for Crum's place is to be
between Representative Tstum
and Captain Black. The terms
of w. ID. Mann Of AbbevilIe and
w. b. Love of York, as peniten-
tiary directors, expire. Mr.. Love
is candidate for ELECTION, and
Mr.. P. L. Hollis Of Chester, also
wants the place.

Hard on States Creditors.

Special to The News and Courier.
Columbia, Decemb Der 16. -Ac
cording TO an opinion by the AT
torncY General, no State official
has the right to use the appro>
priation made by the Legislature
of one YeaI to pay an indebted
ness of previous year. The
opinion was rendered at the re-
quest of Secretary of State CAN'T,
and is an important one, as the
statutes covering this matter have
never been clearly explained be-
fore. MI. Gunter, the Attorney
General, states that it was clearly
the intention of the Legislature TO
let each year stand for itself, and
the appropriation was intended
for that year only. Any past IN
debtcdness should come up for
consideration by the General AS
sembIy, for if this statute was
not interpreted in this way 1T
would be possible to stretch the
Act SO as to contract future debts,
and the thing would in this way
90 on indefinitely. Violation of
this Act is regarded as felony.
