IN A WRANGLE
OVER.MINUTES.
COunCiImen Take up Nearly an
Hour Debating the
Matter.
THE LICENSE QUESTION.

Council meeting leid last
night. Those present were Mayor
Muirhoad, Councllmen Haines, iiof-
man, Hillman, A. ii. Gordon and J.
| H. Gordon; Counsellor Pearse and
| CLERK Birmingham.
The minutes of previous regular
meeting were read and Mr.. IIaines
moved that the remarks made by MIR.
Hlllman at that meeting, on May
third, be inserted in the minutes.
The remarKs concerned the transfer
| William A. Crime, and Mr.. Hillmap,
MS a member of the license committee,
reported u~nfavorably on the transfer.
AS Mr.. Haines recalled them tho re.
marks were "That the transfer not
be- granted until Mr. Meinzer's appli.
cation for q new place was acted on, +"
so that in case he did not get a license
for his new place he could still retain
the old one. The motion brought
Hillman to his feet, who denied say
ing such a thing. A heated discussion
took place, in which Haines, Hoffman
and Hillman participated. 1t TOOK up
about three quarters of IN hour, dur
ing which time Hillman accused HOff-
man of stating falsehoods, to which
Hoffman replied by passing the lie.
Hillman then made a motion that
all remarks of that evening be
stricken ont of the minutes. The
motion was lost. Mr.. Haines's motion
conce rning the minutes was voted OH
and the motion sustained and the re-
marks inserted. The minutes were..then
approved as read.
Charles H. Thompson applied for a
license to conduct a saloon in Henry
street. William A. Crime applied for
q renewal of his license in David
street. Michael Roman applied for O
renewal of his license in Augusta
street. Mr.. Hillman moved that these
implications be laid On the table,
pending the result of the appeal takeI
to Judge Swayze's decision.
Mr.. Hoffman and J.. H.. Gordon
said that as the Supreme court did
IL OF sit until fall it was hardly fair to
close these mems places until that
time, so the renewals were granted
until the result of the appeal of the
decision is made known. Mr.. Meinze1
Withdrew application for license
which was granted at last meeting.
Mr.. Hillman offered an amendment
to an ordinance regarding the license
fee making it $3.50 instead of $3.50, as
it now is. The council voted tie and
the amendment was lost rs it takes "A
majority of the whole vote to amend

of Plttsylvania In an effort to better the

There have been many farmers organ
i@atons In Virginia, but they have ac-
ccmplshed very little because they were
organized Oh the wrong principle. The
Farmers Alliance had for Its object the
control of legislation, and finally drlftcd
into politics and went TO pieces But
farmers clubs. organized upon the right
principle. upon good, sound, business
principles, ought to be abe to accomplish
much for agriculture. Farmers in the
tobacco belt have practically II monopoly
OF certain grades OF tobacco and have
the situation largely in their own hands

It makes one positively i'll to read the
account Of the holocoust-splenelid mil

angry flames! 1t is als we'll enough to
saw that the losses Will be paid in great
part by the insurance companies. and
that much Of this money will come from
abroad. The fact is that property valued
al many millions has been destroyed and
the country Is by 30 much the poorer.
Our rcas wealth IS not In money, but IN

somebody must suffer. The money which

same line.
But the representatives Of Mr.. Hearst
were violently opposed to the Williams
side and the Tribune says that they were i.'
in control OF tho meeting. 1t says also
that a large majority OF the spectators
were Hearst supporters. Tho Hearst men
expressed themselves as being eltlted ~

had been greatly promoted by the meet

Until recently we had never thought.fo'

but it becomes daily more apparent til'
he has a considerable following IN va
