Last week we stated that it
was a peculiar co-incident
that the city attorney did not
discover that the Aldermen
had no right to use any Of
the general funds of the city
for the public schools during
the former administration
instead of doing so now when
the schools were so much in
need Of aid. In making this
statement we were of the
opinion that it was part Of
the city attorneys duties to
call the aldermen's attention
to any violation of the law,
or advise them as to the le~
gality Of any contract or or
dinance proposed or enacted,
or as to the legality of the
collection Of taxes and the
expenditure Of funds, etc.
But, this seems not to be the
case, hence we we're thus led
into doing one of the best
lawyers and most upright
citizens in the State an injus~
tice. AS we now understand
it the city attorney has no
prescribed duties and is not
expected to offer any advice
on any subject unless called
upon so to do. Burton Craige,
Esq, was then, and is now,
the city attorney. Every one
who knows Mr.. Craige knows
that, if called upon, he would
rot have failed to interpret
the law correctly then, just
as be does now. We take it
this question was not raised
at that time, the city attor~
ney's advice was not asked,
consequently he rendered no
opinion. It was not our in
tention to make any refec-
ton on Mr.. Craige, and we
hasten to call attention to the
error in our former inadver>
tant statement.

neighborhoods that are clam
oring for macadam roads, set
a splendid example and save
the county money. However,
whether the commissioners
will undertake such a scheme
or not, no one one should sit
idle and miss the opportunity
to get the good work started.
Such work is for both per-
sonal and the public good and
no one should hesitate to set
the example. It not only
makes travel better, but it
saves both the individual aud
the county money. 1t saves
time, it saves the team, it
saves wear, tear, repairs and
taxes, for it takes money for
the county to macademize a
road and the county gets its
money by taxing the individ~
ual. So the more attention
those who travel give them,
the less attention is needed
from the county and should
be less taxes, or, it may at
least save the county considS
cradle money and give the
authorities time and oppor-
tunity to more thoroughly
prosecute the work of macad>
amizing roads and keeping in
repair those that have been
macadamized.

Representative Bennett, Of
New York, seems to be very
much worried over the pros
posed head tax of $1,000 Oh
immigrants. He says it will
keep out the Russian Jew and
the Armenian, both poverty
stricken and prosecuted peo~
pie. We believe the average
American has as much sym1
pathy for the poor and perse>
cuted as Mr.. Bennett, but
they realize at the same time
that the person who cannot,
or is unwilling, to pay ten
dollars for the privilege Of
becoming an American citi~
zen, is not likely to make a
very desirable addition to the
country's population. Possi~
bly, Mr.. Bennett could induce
the ocean liners to reduce the
cost Of passage if he clnnot
prevail upon Congress to let
down The bars to 5O~cent citi>
zens. Millions Of our best
citizens would rejoice to see
this head~tax made $3.50 %
rather than $40. 90.
While on this subject we
want to say that we regret to
notice that the Southern
Railway is now engaged in an
effort to catch anything that
can pay it's fare to a Southern
State. Our citizens should
protest against this effort to
make our section a dumping
ground. Our people are
awakening to their necessi~
ties, and have the ability and
hardihood to perform them.
There is no cry here for La
borers, cheap citizens, and
we believe the course of wis
dom is to retain what we have
in the way Of vacant land and
raw and undeveloped res
sources for our own use and
hand them down to our chill
dren and our children's chil~
dren, and make it 60 as far
as it is possible to do so.
Some may say this is old-fo-
Igyism and miserly. We an
swer, not at all. We, the
Southern people, should make
our Southland one grand
garden, the greatest and
most progressive section on
earth. We should produce
every bushel Of grain, every
pound Of meat, every crate Of
fruit and vegetables, every
stick OF timber, every pound
Of metal, in fact every article
to be used, raw or manutac~
tured, not alone for home
consumption but for export.
This may not mean that
strenuosity for which the lot
auctioneers and ticket sellers
crave, but it does mean a
wise conservation of our re-
sources and the keeping Of
a sure foot~hold on our native
heath. Probably the saddest
picture and most powerful
plea for the restriction Of i'm

The splitSlog drag for inn
proving the public roads
seems to be one of the best
and cheapest methods Of
keeping the roads in good
condition known and yet with
the miles and miles of bad
roads in this and adjoining
counties no one, no public
spirited citizen, no county
commissioner, no bowling
bond advocate, or other per-
son, seems to be willing
to take a few hours time
to try it or set the example
in it's use. Probably the
most important factor in
keeping a road in good
condition lies in the mat
ter Of proper drainage.
The ~split~log drag will do
much in this particular by
filling up the holes and ruts
and forcing the water off the
road bed. Our County Cons
missioners spent some money,
and with fairly good results,
last summer by using a scrarer

Presley Gin Company. Last Satur.
day night the employees worked a
little late owing to the arrival OF
some cotton from the country. The
last load bad been placed in the gin
house when fire was discovered in
the north end of one of the cotton
houses. The alarm was at once
given and in a very short time the
volunteer fire fighters were on the
scene aud with a few buckets of
water extinguished the flames.
Had the fire occurred at later hour
the entire plant might have been des
troyed. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
