CITY HALL NOTES

Rev. ]. A. Johnson headed delegation
before the police board yesterday which
nrotested against renewing q saloon IL
cense for Wolff & Riedell at 22OS Central
avenue, recently revoked.
It is stated that Lessee Charles McFar-
land made more liberal terms to the city
concerning a light well adjoining the
Copp building because the board OF pub
lie works favors erecting the city hall
annex right against the Copp wall.
Several patrolmen got leaves of absence
from the city yesterday.
Councilman Bernard Healy has left the
CITY on his vacation, but some are unkind
enough to say that the Eighth ward
statesman has gone no farther than the
beach and will be on hand promptly If
anything goes wrong.
The civil service commission failed to
meet Yesterday, hence there werelno devel-
opments in the deadlock over the legality
of the council creating the office of secre-
tary of the health board for H. M. Love,
whose warrants were ordered held up by
the commission.
Civil Service Commissioner Milton X.
Young, who is in Alaska, has had his
leave of absence extended.

miss Charges in Court Merely
by Not Appearing to
Testify

Birdie Roseblum changed her mind
about prosecuting H. Roseblum for bat

She thought that all she needed to do in
order to dismiss the charges against Rose

day there was no Birdie present.
Detectives were put on her trail and she
was fined $40 for changing her mind with

Miss Roseblum lives at 370S Trinity

W. C. Mushet's expert investigation into
CITY licenses was read, although he was
invited to be on hand.
Yesterday afternoon Collector Johnson
was at the hall holding conferences with
officials on the second floor, but refused to
say word Earlier in the day he dropped
sundry remarks that the city clerks Of
flee furnished him with certain lists and
he collected funds only on the basis of
this list That was his defense ap-
parently.
Ordinance Is Specific
The license ordinances are plain on the
subject Section 13 says:
Sec 49, The city tax and license col
lector of said city shall on or before
the first Monday of each month, de-
liver to the city clerk the delinquent

at higher rate and Mr.. johnson returned

could not collect them.

An indication of prosperity
and progress is shown in the ad-
vertisement of The Bank OF
Summerton in this issue. This
Institution under it's able presi-
dent has been a success from the
very beginning, and besides re-
turning to it's stockholders salts
factory dividends, it is conceded
that through it, Summerton and
the surrounding country has de-
veloped and prospered such as
no other section of the county
in the same number of years.
When the matter Of starting a
bank at Summerton was first
projected there we're many who
doubted the outcome, but Mr..
Richard B. Smyth with his keen
business foresight knew that a
section Of country so wonderful
lily blessed with fertile lands, and
populated with such sterling
people, success would crown
any we'll managed business eff
fort: with this confidence he
founded The Bank of Sumner
ton, and he, and all connected
with,lt, have enough reason to
press forward with advancing
progress to establish a savings
department. for the safety and
convenience and profit of the
general public. We are glad the
Bank of Summerton has taken
this progressive step, and we
sincerely hope it's new depart
ment will be appreciated by the
public by giving to it a strong,
substantial patronage. Any en-
terprise that serves to aid peo-
pie to lay aside something for a
rainy day, as a savings depart
ment in a well oflcered and man
aged bank does. deserves the
hearty cooperation OF every
body, and we do not hesitate to
urge our readers to begin at the
opening to deposit with The
Bank of Summerton what
money they can afford to lay
aside, and let it draw interest. A
little amount deposited every
month will, in the course of time
make a handsome "nest egg" in
an emergency, or when an oppor-
tunity presents itself for the
purchase of property whether it
be a home or a plantation.

GEE ! WHAT A ROAST.

Tillman has again brought
down upon himself the wrath Of
newspapers for insulting those
who tried to treat him with the
courtesy due to his high Office.
It seems that he was being in
tertained at a Republican club
in Virginia and he took occasion
use such language about the
President of the United States
that a fsticuff came near result
ing. At any rate, the Senator
is being freely censured by the
newspapers, and the following
from the Richmond News-Lead-
er is a sample:
"What an ill-contrived, cross-gained,
porcupine kind of a brute this man
Tillman is. Here in Richmond he
was treated with the most careful and
elaborate courtesy. Governor Swan
son, in his own carriage, drove the Wis
itor over the city in the afternoon.
The newspapers gave him ample notice
and the audience was large and repre-
sentative. Yet he went out OF his way
to insult the local Young Mems Christ
ian Association by accusing it OF neg
lect and discourtesy and his lecture
itself was SC. coarse in many OF its al
lusions and illustrations as to shock the
kindly and refined people who gather
ed to listen and who had the right to
expect that their feelings and tastes
would be respected. The poor strolling
player. who performs in cheap houses
and earns twenty dollars week, is
courteous TO his patrons as a matter
of instinct. training, principle and
policy, but the Senator from South
Carolina could not observe the ordinary
rules of decency. We see that even
the local Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation itself is compelled, through its
own publication, to resent the unjust
and untruthful criticism to which the
Senator subjected it and to tender an
Indirect apology to the public for
bringing him here. But he got his
$3.50 and probably that is all he cares
fer. Now. we see he grossly violated
the prophecies while the guest OF a so
cial club at Martinsburg and nearly
precipitated personal flight. The man
leaves q trail Of bad flavor and oad
temper wherever he goes. He care
fully advertises himself and his show,
very much as Tom DiNion does, by dis
regarding the ordinary conventlonall-
ties and decencies of life and making
himself conspicuous for vulgarity,
coarseness and ii nature. The South
ern gentleman is about the most cour-
seoos, kindly, genuine and loyal of all |
human beings: and, on the other hand,

MONEY FOR HOSPITAL
LEGISLATURE MADE AN APPRo-
PRlATIoN os $500.
Believed That Governor Dawson Will
Allow the item to Stand in Ap-
preparation Bill.

Since the return OF the local repre-
sentatives in the state legislature it
has developed that the Kings Daugh-
tiers hospital, in this city, was made
the beneficiary of an item in the gem
eral appropriation bill during the con-
ference between the senate and house
committees, held just before the legis-
lature adjourned, and while the APP
preparation is not as large as that
originally asked for, it will prove a
great help to the local institution.
The item calls for an appropriation
of $3.50 per year for two years for
the benefit of the hospital, and it is
believed that Governor Dawson will
allow the appropriation to remain in
the bin. The appropriation bill as
passed by the senate carried a lump
sum of $4,000 for the benefit of the
hospital, but this item was stricken
out by the house when the bill came
up for consideration IN that branch of
the legislature. When the bill went to
the conference committee, however, 1t
was agreed to allow the hospital ST.
500, TO be paid in two installments,
and it was intimated that this would
be satisfactory to the governor
The money will be used by the la
dies of the hospital circle for some
needed improvements and equipment,
and will prove yeritable windfall to
the institution. The hospital has been
struggling along for years, and has
been maintained solely, by the efforts
of the ladies, and it is gratifying to
note that the legislature has rendered
this material assistance.
