IMPERATIVE NECESSITIES Some of Items in Pro-
 posed Bonds. VIEWS OF THE MAY0R-ELEcT Schools and Waterworks Take Precedence With Mr. GunteE Other Items Are Much Desired But Not So Urgent, Though Bond Issue

 Funds.
VIEWS OF THE MAYoR-ELEcT

In speaking of the bond election to be held December 14, Mayor-eleet Cas- ton Gunter, President of the City coun- ell, said:
 The matter of the bonds being available for disposal Is the main ques- ton, not the placing of them as soon as they are ordered issued. Possibly the time Is not ripe fnr some of the Improvements contemplated. but some of them are imperative necessities.
 Having the bonds available for placement will relieve the officlals of the city of the further consideration of them as a factor in local affairs. and more attention can te given to the general work if the Aldermen know just where they stand. As long as the question remains. Shall we issue the honds or mott? the question will re- main paramount in the Council and with the people. With the election settled in favor of the issuance of the bonds, the road will be clear to attend to practical work in municipal iTn- provement.
 "1 consider the bonds for educational purposes those of first importance. The improvement of the educational system Is necessary, It's enlargement is i'm perative. The school children of today are the citizens of tomorrow and un- less they are receiving the best educa- ton available now, they will not be fitted to contend with future questions that may arise. in a competent man ner.
 The question Is not so much the Improvement in the naeaus operandI of the curriculum, but providing against congestion. not giving a teacher too many pupils to try to teach. We need more room and more teachers. and I feel confident the people recognize the fact.
 For the general welfare of the clt- lzens and the city, the improvement of the sanitary system and waterworks Is obviously necessary. The city Is growing. more houses are being built. being built beyond the present Hani-. tary and water systems reach. Lack of proper and adequate sanitation and water means disease, 4 surface we'll in the vicinity of certain out-houses can cause more sickness, develop more epidemics than the lack of quarantine laws in a seaport town.

I would like to see both built and in operation but cannot conscientiously say they are soreiy needed by the city and citizens.

 Let us get an Inspiration this af- ternoon from these absent brothers, and may their lives and their good deeds inspire us anew to go forth and in the tou1orrows to come strengthen us to ever practice brotherly love.

 Resting beside the. still waters of Their faults are written upon the sands. Their virtues upon the tablets of love
 and memory"
 Two addresses so eloquent that they , thrilled the large audience and mu- sieal program unusual in conception and superb in execution. made the annual memorial service of the Mont gomery Lodge of the Brotherhood of Elks at the Grand Theatre Sunday afternoon g notable event.
 In memorial of their brothers depart ed during the past year. Messrs. Frank K. Bunkley, Isadore Cellner, Bxbert J., Hughes and Daniel O. Dove. the local lodge of Efks observed their an- nual custom of bringing back the memory of their dead for short space that the sterm realities of life might be softened in an hour of loving trib. ute to their virtues.
 Also in observance of custom, the good of the order was talked of, that those uninttlated to the brotherhood ], which binds the Elks so closely togeth- CT. might have some conception of the peculiar tenderness In which the mem ory of those departed to the eternal beyond is held.
 Frank D. Kohn and Leonard Mccord were the speakers cho osen for the oc- casion and in eloquent phrases told of the good of the order and of the reverency in which the memory of the dead is held. Aud Lang Syne, sung by the whole lodge of Elks, the, voice of the great audience swelling the familiar, touching words, was the Keynote of the gathering.
 The selections of the orchestra and the songs of the quartette and solo- isfs were chosen and rendered with ehe central idea of sorrows ana vet gladness. There was sorrow in that faces dear to the membership were to be seen no more, but there was glad ness in that for e time the virtues of the dead might be recalled and dweit upon in pleasure. Gladness in that while death might claim all earthIv vision. 1t might not claim love and admiration. @
 After the invocation by Rev. Henry M Edmonds, pastor Of the First Pres byterian Church. and the. singing Of "God Is Love" by a quartette, Frank p. Kohn was introduced by 10. r Meyer. Mir. Kohn spoke upon .'rha Geodssof the Order saying, in brief. as foliowsi The rainbow comes and gees,

 Elba. Dee s.--(speciai. l--wiiiiam Hanehey. a white prisoner, escaped from jail here last night at o'clock when the turnkey was locking the nrisoners in the cells, after they had been allowed tn the corridors for re- creation.
 As soon as the escapa was learned a phone message was sent to Enter prise for Sheriff Knights bloodhounds. which were there. The dogs reached Efba on the s:46 ?. ua.. train and nt- tie after 10 o'clock were put upon the trail The capture was made at o'clock this morning some fourteen miles North of Elba, Sheriff Knights the deputies and dogs reached Elba with the prisoner ct o'clock this. Sunday morning.
 Hanehey is charged with embezzie- ment. Tt is said that when he was arrested few days ago he believed he would have no trouble in making bond. but that he had failed to get the assistance of relatives and friends whoas help he had expected. and that this had made him desperate.
 This Is the second important cap ture that Sheriff Knights dogs have made in the few weeks he has had them. They will no doubt be of great service to the county in making those inclined toward crime realize the caf- tainty of capture.
 At It's county meeting at Gocdman south of Elba. last week, the Faruls era, Union passed drastic resolutions c0rideInning night riding and other forms of similar lawlessness.
