OBSERVES THAT SPLITTING ORDINANCE
IS A DEAD LETTER.
ISays He Believes the Spitters Are Ex.
pectoratiRs More than Ever
They Did.
Daily Clarion-L Ledger.
Mr.. Hennessy and Mr.. DooIey
boarded a street car at the depot
yesterday afternoon. Both fum-
bled around in their pockets as if
trying to beat each other finding
the dime that was necessary to
pay fare until the conductor be-
gan to grin, and finally both pull
ed out a slick nickel and paid
their own fare under protest, but
both glad they had not found a
dime.
| Mr.. Hennessy carried big wad
of tobacco on the east side Of his
mouth, and it was not long before
he aimed at a fly and let 60 pint
of ambeer all over the car floor.
If the conductor observed the act
he kept mum, but Mr.. Dooley did
mot.
"Hennessy," he said, you do
not same to know that it is for
ginst ther laws av ther sthate and
av ther cithy to sphit on ther floor
Law ther strate cars. If that coon
ducthor should happin' to do his
ihuty he wad hav yez arristid fur
lviolatin' ther ordininces av ther
town az well as ther Sthate Board
Law Hilth. You same ter fergit
that ther Sthate Board af HiIth il
a young legislature on its own
account, an that it haz ther roight
an ther power to pass ordininces
az is ther case with ther solons
thimsilves.
Il have notised, Hennessy, that
Isince ther sthate board passed
Ither spittin' ordinlnce that there
IL more spittin' done all Ground
ther town thin ever bafore. ] see
Ighreat pools av terbacky juice on
ther floors av ther court houses, /
see thin on ther wahlks, in ther
Isthores, on ther cars, around ther
Idapo, in ther halls, on ther sthair
lstips av ther pooblic buildin's, an
Iaven in ther chooches sad it IL to
ralate.
II hav not hearud emmy av ther
Imarchints say that they are sellin'
more terbacky thin ever before,
but | wud not be at all surprized
lif that should be ther case. Be-
fore it was agin ther laws av ther
land ter sphit OIL ther floors an in
public places ginerally, very little
Law it was notised. 1t may haY
tbin done, but our attinshun was
not directed to ther matter. It il
a filthy habit, Hennessy, an ther
#|oficers ay ther law should be d.
ricted to inforce thin to ther let
ther roight here in jackson. By
virtu aV ther fack that jackson IL
Ither capitol av ther CRATE Sthate
aY Mississippi it should set ther
Iexample fur ther balince av ther
lSthate in the manner ay splitting
az we'll as in everything ilse.
lWhin the papuI av other towns
lcome here on little visitin' they
Enacherly look about to see how
Rome il doin' an they do loike-
wise, az matther av course. Mr..
ISmith av Jones comes to town an
takin' roide on ther strate cars
| wild prominint mon lioke yersilf
he sees yer sphit on ther floor.
| He does ther same, an who can
blame him?
II hay moind, Hennessy, to
lcalI ther attinshun av Mayer
/ Wnartin to ther violation aV
lther split ordinince. / will also
thry an say Chafe av Perlise Viii
Iliums, and put thin mkt. 1t
moight do to call attinshun av
ther Sthate Board av Hilth to the
way its odinince IL bein' violated
livery day av the wake by jist
lsich fellers az you happin to be.
| / am tillin' yez av these things,
4 Hennessey, to warrun ye-not
that | whants ter see yer made to
lsoofer fer sich a croime. Till all
Law ther byes when ye see thin.
These be tonnes whin jackson
must be kept clane. It IL not on
lily nicissary to sphrinkle lie an
Iolme, but it is jist az NECESSARY to
lsthop sphrinklin' terbacky juices
i all over ther cars and other floors. =
