DID 1T
NOT THE VANDALS
MYSTERY OF THE SkINNING OF
THE NICHOLS SYCAMORE
TREE IS EXPLAINED.

The mystery of the skinning of the
Nichols sycamore tree has been ex-
planned, and the explanation acquits
those sterling citizens-the vandals.
While the bark is admittedly of the
tree, it was not peeled by sinful hands
but by nature. For it is the custom
of sycamore trees to shed their hide
annually. Although Mr.. Nichols bas
been resident of the city for some
thirty years, it was a surprise to his
friends to learn that he had become
such cosmopolite that he had forgot
ten the lore he learned in his earlier
days, when nearer to nature and the
SOIL He has been the big joke with
friends for the past two days, and
many of them have offered to accept
the ten dollar reward that he ogered
for the capture of the tree skinner.
"Zacheus" Nichols, he is now called.
and the sycamore threatens to do for
him what the cherry tree did for
George Washington.

ALLOWING CUT OUiSON MUFFLERS
Now a Misdemesnor to Take . Drink

bercuIien Test for Dairy cattIe-Mr.
Rainey on Pure Drinking Water.

An ordinace introduced and passed
on FIRST reading at the regular meeting
of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
Thursday night is calculated to pro
tect the public from the speed demon
and to make the scorchers good for
quite awhile.
The ordinance, which was read by
City Attorney Shelby Corey, by whom
it had been carefully drawn. provides
that automobiles. bycicles, motorcy-
cles shall not exceed a speed Of twelve
miles per hour while on the streets
or alleys Of Columbia; that they shall
not exceed a speed Of eight miles an
hour at the intersection of streets or
in turning corners; that they must
keep to the right Of the road; that
when used at night they must carry
two lamps in front and one behind, all
well trimmed and must not use a muf-
fer, cut-out or other device for making
unnecessary noise. A violation Of this
ordinance is punishable with fine Of
not less than $40 nor more than $50.
Another important ordinance that
became law, passing on third and d.
nal reading, was the health ordinance.
Before passage IT was amended This
statute is fashioned after those in
vogue i'm Nashville and Jackson, but
is less stringent. However, 1t Is
broad and comprehensive and covers
almost every sanitary point that could
possibly arise. It is made misde-
meanor to fail to screen fresh meats
and fruits, to throw ashes, carcaeses
or garbage on the streets or in Helms
branch. Regulations governing the
building Of dry closets are especial
1y strict.

RaIney Appears.

Horace Rainey, representing the
Board Of Trade. appeared before the
board and explained his proposition
for supplying Columbia with pure
drinking water-which is to use the
water from McGaw's and three other
springs located on property adjacent
to the city. Mr. Rained stated that
he had not calculated the amount Of
water that these springs would fur
nish, nor had he made any cslouia-
tions as to the cost, but he thought 1t
worth investigating. II was stated
that the toal water consumed by the
city was about 100000 gallons per day
and that the available supply should be
determined berore the proposition
went further. The matter was refer
red to committee.
The City Marshal was authorized
to notify the residents Of Thirteenth
street before whose property brick
paving was laid that settlement must
be made at once. This paving had
been furnished by the city with the
agreement that the citizens were to
put it down. 1t is claimed that all
but one refused to make payment. The
city will push the collections. The
pavement was laid from High to the
