ALDERMEN WILL IMPOSE FINES
Whenever They Fail to Attend Reau-
lar Meetings.

The idea of an alderman proposing
to fine himself for failure to attend
meetings of that body would, of course,
be regarded as huge joke ordinari-
ly, but this is what the aldermaric
board of North Carolina town pro-
poses doing ard will amend charter TO
that effect.
These aldermen, of course, like all
others, draw a good salary.
Under the amendment, each alder
man has $4 deducted from his salary
every time he misses board meeting
and So every time he misses a meeting
of committee to which he belongs.
Since the board of aldermen of
Americus raised their own salaries 80
per cent at the annual meeting three
weeks ago, this being the only in
crease made in the salary of any city
official or emploSe in the entire line,
they should be as generous as the
Carolina board.
Let the Big Four consider the propo.
sition at the next office caucus and
agree to impose fines upon themselye
when they miss g meeting.

BOARD HAS FILED A
BILL IN THE COURT,
Police MIDDLE is Started Up
Anew.
COUNCIL HAS INSTITUTED SUIT
Quo Wamanto Proceedings Begin Yes
terday Contestng the Office of Po.
lice Commissioners Flight Will Be
Settled in the Courts Now.

sAnother move was made yesterday on
the police commission chessboard, and
the vexed question is now fully up to
the courts for settlement. This pro-
ceediEg was instituted by the new
board, and is intended to contest with
the commission now in authority it's
right to the Office. It is now battle
royal between the two commissions.
Quo warranto proceedings constitut-
ed the legal step thus taken.
Yesterday the attorneys for the new
commissioners, Messrs. A. c. Bivlns,
Lawson Stapleton and FL. L. Mize,
filed with Judge H. A. Littlejohn
their petition, and this is now receiv-
ing his consideration.
Judge Littlejohn will, in all proba
bility, grant rule nisi calling upon
the old board to show cause why they
should not surrender authority to Pc
titioners, the new board. This hear
ing will, no doubt, be set for an early
date and, thus the expected fight is on.
The muddle Is one the people of
Americas desire to see settled.
AS is well known, the new board of
police commissioners, Messrs. Bivins,
Stapleton and Mize, were duly elected
by the qualified voters of Americas IN
December last under an act of the
Legislature amending the city charter
to that end. Since that time, however,
the old board has steadfastly refused
to Yacate that Office.
The old police board holds to the
opinion that the creation of the new
board was illegal, hence, the refusal
to surrender authority. 1t is now III
to the courts to decide which is right

suit of the vote was, Hawkes., 100, Nc
Math SO, Scarborough 46. The cleo
ton passed oft very quietly, and there
was naught put the best feeling among
the candidates aud their friends.
Acting Clerk McMath will continue
to look after the duties of the office
until after the regular election and the
installation Of Clerk Hawkes., which
will be some time next week.
Mr.. Hawkes. was the recipient Of

A Good Sign.
dl.al.

A recent transaction involving
the purchase of 40 acres of land
and One-tenth of the mineral
rights for S1S, 900 would indicate
that the prospects at Anse La
butte are very bright. The
property was bought by Robert
Martin from HOnore Breaux.
The two Haywood wells are on
this tract. Nine-tenths of the
mineral rights of the Breaux
tract belong to the Martin-Leda-
nOis Company and are considered
among the most valuable hold
ings in the Anse Labutte field.
Mr.. Martin has been identified
with the work of development at |
Anse Labutte from the very be-
and is familiar with that
field. His purchase of the Breaux
involving an invest
ment of $1S, 200, may be accepted
as pretty safe evidence that con.
ditiOnS at Anse Labutte are most
satisfactory.
