At the opening of the Board of May
or and Aldermen Thursday night May
or Biddle stated that he wanted the
committee on the new side walk ordi-
nance to get together so that some
more acceptable plan for the construc-
ton of side walks would be devised
before spring.
The Mayor also though the matter
of uniform sewerage system for the
city should also be given serious con-
sideration, and some definite plan OF
/ sewerage should be started. He
thought competent engineer should
be employed to make a survey and an
! estimate of the cost. And that from
year to year, as financial conditions
permit, the sewerage can be extended.
On motion of Alderman Dedman the
.layor appointed the Street Committee
to take the matter up for inyestiga-
ton.
The Mayor stated further that the
falling off in the personal assessments
in the city. indicated that better work
in the assessment line should be done
and he thought it might prove neces-
sary for the city to assess its taxes
independent of the state and county
assessor.
Chairman Chaff1n reported little
work on the streets during the past
month He was allowed $3.50 for
street work in January.
Chairman Dedman reported the pur-
chase of 600 feet of new fire hose.
Mr. Dedma nread the report of Chief
Ritter of the fire department, showing
So alarms during the past year, twenty
four of which were to fires. The re-
port showed property loss at these
fires of $4,000, covered by $178,000
insurance, making a net saving to the
insurance companies of $154,000. The
showing was considered fine one.
Salaries and accounts were allowed.

said he thought TIE city would end

ALDERMEN HONOR
CARMACK'S MEMORY
PAY TRIBUTE TO ONE WHO RE-
ELECTED CREDIT UPON CITY
AS ITS ATTORNEY.

Appropriate honor was done the
memory of the late Senator Carmack
by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
on Thursday night. Mr.. Carmack' S
first official position was that of City
Attorney of Columbia and the Board
by resolutions adopted points with
pride to this fact. The resolutions
presented by the Committee appoint
ed for that purpose were unanimously
adopted by a rising vote, and are as
follows:
Whereas, on November last, as
the result of tragedy in Nashville,
Hon. Edward Ward Carmack, resi-
dent of this city, was killed.
Whereas, it is matter of pride to
the people of Columbia and particular
ly to the members fthis Board, that
Mr.. Carmack's first of many official
positions of honor and trust, was that
of City Attorney of Columbia, having
served in that capacity from 1873 to
1883, and
Whereas, as the City Attorney Mr.
Carmack discharged the duties of the
office with that ability, that fidelity
to his trust and that energy which he
displayed in all the positions to which
he was called. His record in an office,
compared with that OF others which
he subsequently held, was not an i'm
portant one, reflected those character
istics which made hi none of the truly
great men of his day, and
Whereas, in the death of our dis
tinguished friend and former co-labor-
er, this community has been deprived
of one of its truest, best and most
patriotic citizens, the State has lost
the service of one of its ablest and
most loyal servants and the Nation is
bereft of the counsel and services OF
one of it's truly great leaders. His
death has caused almost universal
mourning, but nowhere has there
been such grief manifested as in this
city, where he was best known. 1t is
therefore fitting that this body should
take appropriate action to express its
deep sorrow at his untimely death;
Therefore be it Resolved by the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the
City Of Columbia, That we bow our
heads in sorrow at the death of Sena-
tor Carmack; his death was a great
shock and affiiction to the people of
this community.
BE 1t further Resolved, That as
further mark of respect to our dis |
former official, a page of
the minutes of this Board be set apart |
as a perpetual memorial to Senator
Carmack and that these. resolutions be
Inscribed upon our records and copy
the family of the departed
statesman.
BE 1t further Resolved, That we
.ender our heartfelt sympathy to Mrs.
Jarmack and Edward Ward Carmack,
IT., in their hour of affection.

HELP THE FAIR.

The Alabama State Fair Is busi-
Saess enterprise for the public GOOD
which should appeal strongly to the
rsortgomerv business men. The sue
eess of the annual fairs in Montgom-
ery have had a bearing on the gem
eral business and prosperity OF the
city that could not well be estimated.
The fair this year with Mr.. Robert
Chambers as president and Major
e. e. Winters as secretary is In COM
petent hands. Their charge of affairs
a. assurance that the fair will be up
TO the high standard of other years.
Loyal support made the fair in pre-
yious years and loyal SUPPORT should
be accorded the enterprise of this
year.
Experienced fair men. men who
travel from fair city to fair city have
declared that the Montgomery fairs
are the best held in the South. For
one thing the fairs have strongly en-
phasized the agricultural features and
they have as strongly discounted catch
penny schemes. The fairs in Mont
Iromery have shown each year the de-
yelopment of agriculture particularly
the development of stock raising in
& Alabama.
The people Of Alabama have been
coming to Montgomery to the fairs
With the assurance that the trip will
be worth their while. They have been
expecting merit in the annual shows
and they have not been disappointed.
The fair in the fall will give thou
sands of people a wished for oppor-
tunity Of visiting the city. sue
cessful fair will be fine advertising
for Montgomery as well as good
feeder to its business.

REEF AND CABBAGE.

Somebody has evidently intimated
that The Washington Herald was not
friend of corned beef and cabbage,
porary comes to the defense OF that
plain and sturdy diet. "Corned beef
and cabbage" 1t declares, ''consti-
tute diet for men. 1t generates red
blood. and muscle; 1t has nourished
many a fighter, and has been the be-

as something good to eat, oorned beef

take kindly to this diet. but what does
that matter? Some folks don't like

seen some who refused to relish

of taste, and perhaps of bringing up.
