HART QUITS THE COUNCIL
Too Much Abuse, He Claimed. An
Interesting Session.

The council had an interesting
session Wednesday night, the princi-
pal feature being the resignation Of
Chairman w. A. Hart. 1t had been
apparent for some time that Mr..
Hart desired to be released from
! further service. He felt that his
efforts were not appreciated, and
when the question Of his reappoint-
ment to superintend the water works
came up he requested that some one
else be appointed. 1t being evident
that the board would insist upon him
retaining the position, Mr.. Hart had
Mr.. Sage take the chair while he pro-
ceeded to nolalnate Mr.. Cole as his
successor. The discussion that fol-
lowed precipitated the climax. Mr..
Hart took exceptions to some remarks
that were made and renewed his
former request to be allowed to resign.
The other counclmen demurred but
, Mr.. Hart was inslstent, saying he
had been abused enough, and his
resignation as chairman, trustee and
water works superintendent was ac-
cepted. Mr.. Sage was appointed
chairman pro tenn and the vacancy
on the board is to be filled at the
next meeting.
The board decided to strictly en-
force the stock ordinance on and
after April 20, and notice to that
effect was ordered published in the
TRIBUNE.
The road overseer was ordered to
open the north end of Oneida street.
A crOsswalk was ordered put in
from the Red Cross drug store to the
0. X. Stables on the west side of
Occur d'Alene street. The previous
order for cross walk between Klopfs
store and the o. X. stables was re.
scinded.
The digging OF a well and INSTALL
ing pump to get an emergency
supply of water was discussed and
Messrs. Cole aud Young were ap-
pointed to investigate the matter and
report at the next meeting.
Mrs. o. LAWN was authorized to
have hitching posts removed from in

PREFER CHARGES
AGAINST JACKSON
ALLEGED THAT POSTMASTER
HAS BEEN TOO ACTIVE IN
POLITICS.
TWO CLERKS INVOLVED ALSO
Defendant Says Charges Grew Out
Out Of Capture Of Taft
Club.

Charges have been preferred at
Washington with the post office de-
partment against Postmaster John w.
Jackson, Junius Goslin, a clerk and
Monte Fariss, chief clerk of the Co
lumbia post office. and George S. DON
nall of Atlanta, of the United States
Civil Service Commission, Is here to
investigate the charges. Mr.. Donnall
declines absolutely to discuss the mat
ter and refused to give any informa-
ton whatever concerning the reasons
for his presence in the city.
However, from reliable sources, 1t
is learned that the charges are OF a
political nature and reflect no way
upon the integrity or official conduct
of either of the three officials. 1t is
understood that the charges are to the
effect that Mr.. Jackson and the two
clerks have been ''perniciously &C
tive" in affairs political, and that they
have been preferred by some Of the
political enemies of Mr.. Jackson, or
rather parties who belong to another
faction of his political party.
Postmaster Jackson was seen by a
Herald reporter Thursday and
asked in regard to the matter. He
stated that the charges were based on
the organization of Taft club In Co
lunmbia some months since. That
the Republicans of the county were
called by Mr.. R. s. Hopkins to meet
in that gentleman's Office in Columbia
for the purpose of organizing Taft
club. That a number of Republicans
went to Mr.. Hopkin Office, the two
clerks named and himself being among
the number and that the three Joined
the Club When the matter of the
organization came up, Mr. Jackson
states, he (Jaekson) placed the name
of Hon. Z. l.. Gregory, an Evans man,
in nomination for chairman and cap
tured the meeting for the Evans
forces, hence the friction.

ANOTHER PLAN
May Call County Primaries by Local
Authorities.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 20-(2
o. loCki.-The latest rumor Is to the
effect that the conservative element
of the Patterson forces, led by Luke
Lea, despairing of direct primary,
have suggested that there be county
primaries held under the supervision
of the county committees, ana that
the delegates to the State Convention,
whose election shall be certified by
the county committees shall be the
delegates and their seats shall not
be contested placing final power in the
hands of the local authorities. This
it is said, meets the approval of Car
mack's friends and may be the plan
finally adopted.
Three-fourths of the crowd here Is
for Carmack. Your correspondent
made a canvass this morning of sew
eral large crowds and he found from
two to one to three to one for Car |
mack and the proportion for direct |
primary is even greater. The Com
nittee has not yet reconvened.
