WILKINS FILES REPLY
Late Clerk of the Board of Public
Works Says He Never
Resigned.

w. H. wilkins, clerk of the board of
public works under the Morris admin
istration, who claims he was illegally
deposed from office, has filed reply to
the city's answer in his suit to regain
his position.
The original contention of Wilkins
was that on Nov. 20, 1905, the council
passed an ordinance making the term
Of the clerk of the board two years,
and that he was appointed to the posi-
ton by Colonel E A Wall, its chair
man, and that his appointment was ap-
proved by the council and by Mayor
Morris. He then asserts that on March
!, 1906, he was ousted from office by the
present administration without any
legal warrant. and F. r. Christensen
position back again and his salary
since he was deposed.
The city in its answer stated that
wilkins had never qualified for the po-
sition by filing q bond or taking the
prescribed oath and that he had re-
signed on March /, and a copy of his
letter of resignation was included in the
answer.
To this wilkins replies that he had
never been asked to take the oath of
office or file a bond, and that he would
have done it at any time had it been
desired. He cites the practice for the
ten years preceding as a precedent. In
regard to the resignation, he states
that he revoked 1t in writing the next
day and before it was acted upon by
the board of public works. He further
more says Christensen was never con-
firmed by the council. Christensen is
made a party 10 the suit by a stipula-
ton filed with the reply.

A lively tilt between two attorneys
ended a rather dull divorce matinee
yesterday. The opponents We're Ma
thonihah Thomas and Soren X Chris
Jensen. The row was over the allow
ance of an amended complaint grant
ing attorneys fees and alimony in the
case of Nora E. George against Ed
ward George. The amendment was al
lowed by Judge Armstrong on the as
sertiOn of Mr.. Thomas that Mr.. Chris
Jensen. Georges attorhey, knew of it.
1t was shown, however. that it had
never been served on the defendant or
his attorney, and for this reason Judge
Morse granted Mr.. Christensen's petit
ton that the decree be amended so as
not TO include any order for attorneys
fees or alimony.

MAT THOMAS AND S. X. CHRISTENSEN
In LIVELY TILT BEFORE JUDGE MORSE

Several tits took place between the
two attorneys, and on several occa-
sions Judge Morse had to say:
''One at a time, please" when both
were attempting to talk at once. In a
long affidavit, read by Mr.. Thomas, he
stated that the reason that the amend
ment was not served was that he was
unable to locate Mr. Christensen, al
though he had often telephoned to cigar
stores, the police station and various
real estate Offices to find him.
THE attorney honors me by saying
he could not find me in those places"
commented Christensen, with some sar-
caSm.
Mr.. Thomas stated that he would ask
that the original judgment be vacated
so that he could begin anew and secure
his attorney fees and alimony.

Claimed.

Judge Morse of the district court yes

the defendant in the action brought by
Levi Axtell against the city to deter

tention was not based on sound princi-

The board of education, having dis
posed of all the work incident to the
closing of school year, is expected 10
take up the matter OF disposing of the
$250,O00 bond issue, recently authorized

have been sold before If the money
market had not been in such a condi-

at par, let alone securing a premium.
1t is hoped that by July conditions will

Carrying Concealed Weapons.


" lining: Oh mttE'Hg'F-
The Charlotte Chronicle wants our
Hagist atps and mayors to follow the
example ofthe mayor Of Spartanpurg
who puts IL hundred dollar fine on
every man convicted Of carrying IL
concealed deadly weapon.
We are surprised that the usually
accurate Charlotte Chronicle should
have fallen into such an error. II II
had thought for Il moment 1t would
have remembered that the magIS-
tratps and mayors have not final
Jurisdiction in such cases; that all
thew can do is to bind the Offenders
over to the superior court for trial.
II. in the past, too great lenlency has
been shown to this class OF yiOlators
Of tine law the fault lies with the sn-
periOr court Judges and not the mag
Estates and mayors.
We think the safety OF our citizens
and the warfare OF the tedemands
that this law should be rigidly en-
forced. Ii there is any derellctlOn OF
duty titles at the door OF the supe-
rior court judges, for they are the
sons who, under the law, are to meet
ont the punishment OF this class OF
offenders. We believe they have
been, as rule, too mercifnl to this
class OF law breakers. Had the law
been enforced these same Judges
would have had fewer cases OF hOmi-
eide to try.
Instead Of criticising the magis-
tates and the mayors Oi towns for
not SURPRISING the illegal carrying
OF deadly weapons, the Chonicle
should have put the blame for pres
"nt conditions where it properly be-
IOng3-Tith the superior court Judges
who, alone having the power to pun
ish such offenses, make the sentences
so light that they are not deterrent
to the viOlators OF this law.
We wish the superior court Judges
Of this state would adopt the rule of
the mayor Of Spartanburg. Then
men would be afraid to come
before the courts on the charge Of
carrying concealed weapons.
There is no habit among our peO-
pie more cundu"ive to laWlessness
and which makes life seem cheaper
than that OF carrying the pistol in
the hip pocket, !or handy use on the
slightest prOvOcatiOn.
We know that so longaspistol ex-
list and as men have the desire to
carry them the cutsOm cannot be
entirely broken up but were the
judges to put IL stop to the almost
universal display of leniency toward
this class of criminals the time would
soon come when the carrying of IL
pistol i'll the hip pocket would be an
exception to the rule which now
prevails
