VIII Take Away Franchise.

At meeting of the city council
tonight a resolution was passed
declaring the franchises of the
Greenville Gas and Electric Light
and Power Company and the Paris
Mountain Water Company to be
invalid and authorizing the clerk
to notify the companies. The
resolution was passed on account
of a dicission by the city attorney
to the effect that the franchises
were invalid.
There has been considerable
complaint against the companies
for some time and it is expected
that the matters will now reach 8
crisis. The chairman of the light
committee was requested to com
municate with the officials of the
Southern Power Company and SEE
what terms that company woulo
make for lighting the city. Lltl

Remembered Fairbanks.

Behind closed doors the Senate
to-day paid to Vice President Fair
banks one of the most remarkable
tributes ever given to a presiding
officer. He was presented with a
silver service, costing 81, 1856, as
the gift of the entire body of Sem
ators and with a loving-cup as the
present of tho Democratic men,
bers.
The presentation of the silver
service was made by Senator Nc.
Cumber.
Senator Daniel spoke for the
minority, dilating upon Mr.. Fair
banks uniform fairness. He sug
gested that if at any time Mr..
Fairbanks should tire of the mo-
notonous service in the Re.

would be glad to welcome him

banks to take more than one

Honors for SaIIsburlan.

Senator Whitehead Kluttz, pres
ident pro tenn of the senate, was
here a short time from Raleigh
yesterday returning on the after
noon train.
Mr.. Kluttz has been exceeding
ly fattered yesterday by two invi-
tatlons to speak in June. When
President Woodrow Winston, of
Princeton, spoke there recently
Mr. Kluttz was a member Of the
legislative committee and in an
important address of a few min
utes 30 charmed his hearers that
there was almost universal agree
ment that he would make this
years alumni speech. He beat
the whole crowd.
The second week in June, the
eleventh, he is to address the New
JERSEY bar association at Allan tic
City. This is big occasion and
one that would draw any speaking
attraction to it. Senator Kluttz
is perhaps the Youngest man who
ever spoke to either audience that
he will address. Both invitations
are highwater honors. They come
seldom and to big men only.

The Domain G. the Public Cotton WeigheI
Extended. Charter not Amended.
Concord Times, Mar. 4.

Concord Times, MARA.
Yesterday morning about IL
O'Clock one of the darkest and
most threatening clouds ever seen
here overspread the city. 1t be-
come as dark as late twilight, and
lights had to be turned on all over
the city. The storm poured over
this section without damage.
A bill has been introduced in
the House to amend the law in
this county relative to the cotton
weigher, to extend the limits of
weighing cotton to all the terrific
ry within one mile of the corpor-
ate limits of Concord. Under the
present law all the cotton sold in
the city is weighed by the county
weigher, who receives 10 cents
bale therefor. The new bill pro-
poses to extend this territory to
one mile of the city limits which
will take in the Young Harsell
and Brown mills.
1t is learned from Raleigh that
no changes will be made by the
Legislature in the present city
charter. A number of changes were
proposed and opposed, and as re-
suit the representatives decided to
make no changes whatever. Rep
resentative Williams was in favor
of repeating the. section which
provides penalty for failure to
pay taxes by December 1st and
had an amendment to this effect
passed by the House. 1t failed IN
the Senate, however, as it should
have done, as this is one of the
best features in the charter, both
for the city and the taxpayer. We
think it would be best for all con.
cerned if it were applied to the
county also.
Mrs. Mary E E.Winecoff died last
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock at

recovered from the results of that
illness. She was "a years Of age,
and had been twice married, Mr..
Stricker being the only child by
her first marriage. Her second
husband was Pinckney W. Wine
cof, of No. 4 township, who died
"a years ago.
We learn that there has been just
completed at Kannapolis a mem
bership campaining for the Y M G.
A. which resulted in increasing the
number of members of that splen-
did organization there to over 300.
There are $40 operatives at Kan
napolis, over half of whom are
women, and it will thus be seen
that nearly all the men belong to
the Y. M. G. A. The daily attend
ance at the building, the David
Franklin Memorial Hall, is over
200. On last Thursday and Sat-
urday 120 baths were given. Fifty
men per day use the pool tables,
while over 100 games are frequent
ly played on the bowling alleys in
day. Baths, including towels
and soap, are free to members.

Last Wednesday will long be re

of the darkness produced by tn
unsualy dark angry clouds, which
lowered about US for short Will,
and then sped on their way. Sew
eral sections of the State were
visited by violent storms and much
damage was done, but it Seems
that Goldsboro and vicinity suf
fered most, judging by the follow

Charlotte Observer:
"With the suddeness of a cy
clone and the speed of hurricane

the city with wind, dust, rain anc
hail for a half hour, with almost
unprecedented fury, putting the
electric wires out of commission
and leveling some garden fences
with the ground in several sections
of the town.
Out in the open to the west and
northeast it had full sway and did
material damage to the roofs and
smokestacks of the factories in
that territory, blowing down the
smokestacks of 4he Utility an l the

square away into John street, and
demollshing several tenant houses
in the vicinity Of the Borden Cct-
ten Mills. Out at East Goldsbore
where the entirely open country
afforded no resistance, and which
was in the direct track of the
storm's greatest fury, two housei
just framed in and being rooted
and weather-boarded, were demol.

In the sweep of the storm Mr..
Don Scott was caught while out
driving and horse, buggy and oc'
cupant we're swept from the road
into ditch. Mr.. Scott, and the
horse we're not injured but the
buggy was badly broken up. Fur.

here. Mr.. Atlas Uzzell reports
