The meeting for Tuesday afternoon
was called to meet at 4:30 O'Clock, but
it was before all members of the coun-
Gil could be rounded up and gathered in
to the mayors Office, where the meet
ing was held. This meeting was en-
livened by the presence of Miss A. B.
Furness, of Richmond, and Mesdames
w. G. Harrison and P. d. Johnston, of
this city, who were present to interest
the council in the Civic Betterment work
of the Woman's Club. Mrs. Harrison
briefly outlined the work heretofore
done, of the sale of Red Cross stamps
last Christmas, of the visit of DR.. Doug
lass E. Freeman, of the State Board of
Health, and said that now we had the
pleasure of having Miss Furness with
us, and who would continue the work
that DIR. Freeman had begun.
Miss Furness began her remarks with
an outline of the work of the district
nurses of Richmond; of the long hard
struggle to establish the tuberculosis
hospital at Pine Camp. and of the mea-
ger means yet at hand with which to
combat the dread disease. She said
that tuberculosis was an infectious, con-
tagious, communicable, preventable dis
ease that could be stamped out; that
doctors and nurses could only do their
part; that it was q matter in which
every one should assist, and pleaded
earnestly for the cooperation of the au-
thorities to furnish the means and money
necessary to carry out the plans for the
sanitation of the towns, and to pass or
dinsnces that will make the work effec-
tive.
An informal discussion of the matter
then followed, after which Mayor Bow
en-, on behalf of the council, thanked
Miss Furness for her address.
After the departure of the guests the
council got down to business, the first
matter being the approval of the bond
of the town sergeant. At the sugges-
tion of Councilman Copenhavsr, Ser
geant Thompson agreed to give a surety
bond, and was instructed to have the
same ready at the next meeting of the
council, he holding over until qualified
under the new bond.
The mayor then announced the stand
ing committees as follows:
Finanee-Lewis, Brown and Copen-
hayer.

NEW COUNCIL GETS
DOWN TO BUSINESS
Two Busy Sessions Held Monday and Tues
day and Much Business Looking to
Beiierment of the Town Enacted

There was meeting of the new city
council called for last Thursday, but on
account of the absence of some of the
members from town the meeting was
postponed. Another meeting called
for Monday morning was more success
full, and the entire new council were in
attendance. They met in the council
chamber in the court house at 1920
O'Clock with Mayor T. C. Bowen, Re-
corder T. A. Repsss, jr., and Council
men s. d. May, John H. Lewis, H. w.
Pobst, c. r. Brown, R. P. Copenhaver
and G. J. Moss present.
The question arose as to whether there
was regular time for meeting, and
the recorder stated that Tuesday after
the first Monday of each month was the
regular time for meeting. Some desul
tory talk was indulged in as to trying to
meet regularly at the stated time, but
no definite action was taken.
County Clerk S. M. Graham was call
ed in and administered the oath to the
officers and members of the council aft
er which the mayor called the meeting
to order, and stated that the object of
the meeting was to select town SER
geant for the ensuing year. The re-
corder read two applications for the
position, one from John 7. Hawkins and
the other from John S. Thompson, the
latter being the present incumbent.
Ballots were handed around by the re-
corder, but Councilman May suggested
that the matter should be discussed be-
fore vote was taken, and as a matter
of information asked if the matter was
a political one, or was the council to
ing the matter. 1t appearing to be the
sense of the meeting that the council
was elected as a non-partisan body, the
members were at liberty to act as they
pleased in the matter.
The ballot was then taken, and the
recorder announced the result as Hawk
ins 8; Thompson 8. The mayor then
cast the deciding vote in favor of Mr..
Thompson, and declared him elected.
Previous to the taking of the ballot
the question of whether the applications
were sufficient to vote on or would the
candidates have to be nominated by a
member of the council arose, and it was
suggested that recourse be made to the
bylaws in order to determine the mat
ter, but the recorder advised the coun-
Gil that there were no bylaws in exist
ence, and the ballot was taken merely
on the applications of the candidates
and without nominations being made.
Councilman May then notified the
council that he would present at the
next meeting an application from Geo.
r. Surface for more sufficient water
supply for his pasture field near the
western limits of the town.
Mayor Bowen then announced that he
could not appoint any standing commit
tees at this meeting as he had not had
sufficient time in which to consider the
matter, and the council adjourned to
meet again Tuesday at 4:30 in the aft
ernoon.
