'''at Nah' thAt'N.A Y y % ]
.tusy asu p!tlning 10 rid Camden |
Of Che saloorui, but just what move |
will be mad TO this end has not
fully developed.
A bill TO iepeal the charter has
been introduced in the senate, but
for some r5rson Representative
Leslie declined to introduce a sim
liar bill in t q house.
For somej ne it looked like no
effort would la made to knock out
tee saloons here. Thi, Nayno5 be
generally understood, VT the fact
Is, some Of he best people of tn
community recall with almost hoEe
ror the time about five years agt
when Camden was at the mercy
Of blind tigers and boot leggers
lewd womer Houted their shame
publicly, AMI Camden bore the I'M
sayory reputation of being one Of
the tougheht towns in the State.
When it vas proposed to incor-
porste for the projection it afford
ed and other benefits offered there
was no well developed resistance,
and Camden became an incorpor-
ated town. Good men we're placed
in charge Of public affairs and in
many respects the town has re-
deemed itself We have a good
school, one of he best in Tennes-
see, extensive Improvements have
been made, and Camden now has
the reputation of being the best
policed town between Nashville
and Union City.
Still, this does not mitigate the
evils of the liquor traffic, though
few there be who care to return to
the days when tie town was with
out protection Such a condition
looms up Ike . Sideous nightmare
Of unforgott.,. horrors. But this
can be avoided by taking advant,
age of the Adams law.
It is claimed by interested men
who ought to know, that the cost
20 the tax payers of the town UNI
der anew charter would not exceed
the rate now paid under the pres
emit charter, and the town could
maintain the school and enjoy all
tho other benefits of municipal
government.
So many towns, probably thirty
in all, havs, voted on the question
anu With two exceptions-Masor
and Winchester-the anti-saloor
ne3ala have been victorious.
Since oui- last issue Covingtor
has gone "dry" by a vote of 3Ol tt
s; Paris, 222 to 167; Springfield
$50 to lat; Dayton, 364 to 1; Tul
lahoma, ZIG to l68.
The aGti-sao DON citizens herr
want to, get into the band wagon
and they ara going to work with
vim. In. all probability an cleo
ton will be called to decide tn
matter Both sides claim a ma
jority. An election will tell.

Meeting of Clerks.

A meeting of clerks Of the city was
held last night in Sarepta Hall, the meet
ing place Of the Junior Order OF Mecnan-
les. Nineteen members of the organlza-
ton were present. Five new members
were introduced and three applications
were placed on file. Mr.. Harry Blond
helm. president of the association, presi-
ded. He made few suitable remarks in
explanation of the objects of the organic
alton and subsequently introduced
Messrs. Phaul and Mosher, members of
the clerks union of Washington, who also
made speeches in connection with the
purpose of the meeting. 1t was stated
during the meeting that the members OF
the organization had met with c0nsidera-
bic encouragement, numbers of mer-
chants being fayorably disposed toward
the movement and ready to listen to the
appeal ofthe clerks. The chief object of
the orginators of the movement is to en-
deayor to bring about an early closing OF
the stores Of the city, and the members
disavow any intention of uniting for the
purpose of making any demand upon en-
pIoyers, but merely to urge that those
whose lot it is TO work in stores be given
more satisfactory hours-in short th.t the
storekeepers do the best they can for
those whom they employ-and II they
cannot close TWO hours earlier dispense
with business an honr earlier in the even
ing. In furtherance of this plan COM
mittee of three was appointed to wait
upon merchants and ask them to consid-
er the request of their clerks and, if pos
sible, grant it, thus adding to pleasantness
TO the relations already existing be-
tween employers and employees. The
organization has the sympathy of the
various labor unions of the city, and at
the next meeting two representatives from
each will be present and vie with the
clerks in their efforts to bring about con-
ditionsi satisfactory to all interested.

arovth Of Pa ssenger Traffic.

It is said by those in positions TO
know that passenger traffic to and from
Alexandria via the Southern Railway
has increased one hundred per cent.
during the past ten years. Notwlthstand-
inc this fact, the same dimunltiye,
stnffy. dark and greasy structure OF our
orandiaihers' days is used as a baggage
room ticket Office and waiting room, as
il was in ante bellum days, when one
train left and another arrived every
fwenty-four hours. Many years ago a
shed covered the tracks and station
which sheltered passengers from the
elements in boarding or leaving trans,
hut a high wind demolished it, since
which time passengers have been com
pelled to dodge rain and snow in reach
inc or leaving cars. The station at
Charlottesville is much larger, more
Injurious and modern, although Alex
and is of far more Importance to the
Southern Railway than that town ever
was or is likely to be.
