Greenville is booming. Not fake
boom brought about by sensational
advertising, bubble schemes, etc.,
but booming that cannot be retarded
by the worst knocker in the city.
Nearly every week marks some ad-
vancement in the history of the city.
And this advancement will continue
until Greenville will be the metropo-
lis of the State.
During the past year the business
OF the city has grown to such proper
tions that it has been found necessary
to establish branch station of the
postoffice in the East End, which will
be known as the East End Station.
This will go into effect the first of
next month. Mr.. Dunn, of the firm
of Dunn & Bowen, will be the post
master Of this station, and the Office
will be in his firms store.
This will greatly convenience the
business people of the East End, and
will lessen the labor in the down
town office. When Uncle Sam 1ecog-
nizes such growth Of business in any
city, there is no denying the fact that
that city is surely growing. 1t is
the best argument that can be pro-
duced. Greenville is certainly OH
The forward march.

valdosta, Ga. There is move.
meut ON foot here to bring back from
Liberia te Irwin county negroes who,
last February, emigrated to that
country.
The horrible predicament Of these
negroes was described in letter from
the United States minister resident
and cousnl general at Monrovia to
Hon. John Hay, Secretary of State,
Washington, d. c., and transmitted
by him to Congressman Brantley, of
Georgia.
The publication Of this letter has
stirred up general interest in this
part of Gerogia, where the negroes
vera known.
The movement to bring them back
was started by G. Taylor, a leading
negro of valdosta.
The report of Minister Lyons to
Secretary Hay is as follows:

or to inform you that in the month
of February of the present year
party of fifty-six colored persons, con-
sisting of mails and females and chill
dren, left Irwin county, Ga, as emf
grants for Monrovia, Liberia, under
the leadership of one B. J. Scott.
Upon their arrival the Liherian
government did it's best to assist them
in overcoming the rigo1 of the eli
mate and in supplying them with
some food until the land which they
had been given them could produce
something for their sustenance.
Since then, however, twenty of the
number have died, at Cheeseman-
burg, the place assigned them by the
government. For the lack of homes
they were all put in house of two

and medicine.
Thirty-six of this number still re-
main in a sickly and destitute condi-

burg. Twenty have returned to Mon
rovia these are ragged, starving and
homeless. Five OF these will return

ASSESSMENT
Of the Light & Car Company's
Property
DISCUSSED BY CITY COUNCIL
At a Called Meeting Held Last Tuesday Night.
Other Busin:se Taken UpAt the Close o.
the Meeting the business Bodies Prepare to
Welcome the Louisville, Ky,, Merchants.

A meeting of the city council was
called last Tuesday night to hear the
argument by the Greenvllle Light and
Gar Go. against the assessment placed
upon it,by the city, for street paving.
After the assembling of the mem
bers of the council Hon. Leroy
Percy, attorney for the car company,
argued for some time against the pro-
posed assessment and it's injustice, as
he held it to be almost confiscation
of the property. He also held that,
according to the franchise granted
the company by the city, that the
assessment was illegal He said that
the company did not want to fight the
case on such grounds and was willing
to pay fair assessment, based upon
the assessments of the property along
the streets to be paved. The amount
agreed upon was SO, 500.
Councilman Wilczinski followed
Mr.. Percy and argued that it was the
purpose Of the council to make all
the assessments equal i'll proportion
to the value of the property and their
earning values; that he thouhgt the
matter should be looked into fully
and then action taken. He then dis
cusssed the methods of the proposed
paving and thought the unpaved por-
tion of the streets should be left in
the center of the streets and not next
to the property as proposed, and that,
as the work OF paving will not start
until next April, there is plenty of
time to consider it and agree on the
assessments.
Several of the councilmen took
sides with Mr.. Wilczinski as to the
change in street paving and held, as
heretofore, that it WAS the only plan
to successfully pave streets
A mot,on was made bv the council
thai the matter of the legality IF AS.
seSm nts Of the Greenville Light and
Car Co. be first considered aud re-
ferred to the mayor and city attorney
for consideration, and thai it be re-
fer 'Ad back to the council at it's regu-
lar December meeting.

erection of planning mill by the
