Bridge at MIN Not Paid For.

A recent statement 10 the Capital
about the amount of money the city
council has paid for permanent i'm
provements from the taxes was In re-
gard to the steel bridge at the mill.
The statement that it was built last
year is correct, but the inference left
that it was paid for out of last years
taxes, is incorrect. The council
accepted bid for IS, 1907 for the con-
struction of the bridge, and issued
orders at seven per cent for the
payment of the same and made
levy on 1904 and 1905. 5..assessable proper
ty for the payment of the orders out

date the sum of 1897, and there re-
mains in the fund 81, ,74l.l9 which
could be paid at any time, making a
total of S2,63S. 10 that can be paid on
the bridge out Of last years levy. The
taxpayers TO. next year will have to
pay 81, 1851 and interest, to COM
plete The payment for the bridge.
This will come out OF the levy to be
made this year.

people know things as they are in re-

4 Bar to Horse Improvement.

Pingree, N. D., March q, 1905.
To the Alert In reference to the
horse subject in this number, wish
to make one suggestion of great sig-
nificance and that is that the demand
for the smooth appearance Of draft
sires may preclude the adoption of
systematic training to bring this
about, viz: The development of vigor
and strength in such horses. 1t is
true that the fat and beautiful draft
stallion is the fashion in this coun-
try, and the most horse raisers are as
devote worshippers at its shrine as
are the wives and daughters at the
shrine of milliner and dressmaker.
The hard muscled. steel-nerved,
iron boned and halness-maJked stall
lion, carrying 1000 pounds, Of high
grade utility only, would stand poor
show alongside of another of no larg-
er frame nor better breeding that
carried few hundred pounds more
of flabby muscles. nerves of unknown
strength, bone of conjectural struc-
ture, and useless flesh the whole cov-
cred with a satin coat of dazzling
lustKe.
While such a condition prevails it
is useless to preach to stallioners to
reform. They would be unbusiness
like and silly if they failed to cater
to the fashion. The fashion must
change if method is to change and
the fashion will be changed when the
mass of horse raisers say the word.

AT the conclusion of the reading of
these letters, Mr.. Lyon read to the
witness an ofidavit given several
weeks after the first one. What hap
pened between the time of the giving
of the two affidavits related TO the
matter between Morris and Senator
Blease, the author of the resolution
causing the investigation and men,
ber of the commission. The follow

Q. "Mr. Morris, since Mr.. Chris

time, were you consulted about the
dispensary situation by Senator
Blease, of Newberry?"
A. eyes, sir. He came to see me
about a settlement between the At
lanta Brewing Company and myself" ]"
Q. "Who did Senator Blease rep
resent ?"
A. 81 thought the Atlanta Brewing
Company, from the way he talked.
He did not say who he represented,
but from the start took it that he rep
resented the Atlanta Brewing Co., or
Dunwoody."
Q. "Did he have bill ?"
A. "No, he did not have a bill,
had the bill and he asked me for it,"
Mr.. BLEAsE COMES IN.
The witness then stated in the affi-
davit that he gave his bill to Blease,
who carried it over to the Argyle
hotel to get Dunwoody to receipt it.
Morris declined to accept settlement
when Blease came back with the re-
ceipted bill until he could see his at.
torney, Stanyarne Wilson. Accord.
ingly, in the presence of Mr.. Wilson
and Howard Carlisle, Blease ten
dered $15 TO Morris in payment of
the bill for s13.35. The purpose of

The receipt, in Bleese's handwriting,
was placed in evidence as was a note
which Blease wrote when Morris had
complained of having been forced to
contribute s25 to the Spartanburg
newspaper fund and that Mr.. Blease
offered to try and get his money re-
turned, or to go and get it himself,
and that he voluntarily wrote an or
| der and suggested that Mr.. Morris
send it to Mr.. Harmon. The follow
ing is copy of order signed or sent,
Morris turning it over to the investi-
eating committee, as he could not be
comforted for the loss of his job:

Mr.. Lyon then called Mr.. Morris
attention to another affidavit which
he had made as follows:

he could help it, and he also told
