Two Ordinances Up.
Two ordinances were up for consid-
Grafton, one on its first reading and
the other on its second. The ordinance
governing the construction Of and re-
moval of buildings vas unanimously
passed. 1t was drawn by the ordi-
M committee Of the council and
had the approval Of the Builders and
Traders exchange. The object vas to
do away with > the old ordinance.
which was patterned after an old
Boston regulation. and bring it down
to meet modern conditions. In pass
ing the ordinance. the council had a
two-fold reason. believing in the first
place that those who wished to build
should be encouraged rather than tax
ed. 1t was also declared by the city
engineer that the various builders
were not paying in p%roportionate
amounts. and that as the fee was gov
erned by the cost of the building, there
was n tendency to underestimate the
cost. This resulted. he declared. in
inaccurate reports from the city engi-
neer. Another provision gives the
owner the flEnt TO move or
raise his house so long as all the work
is done on his own promises.
The other ordinance. which regu-
lates plumbing. is similar to that pass
ed in it's purpose. 1t does not make
any changes in the regulations now in
force, except that provisions which
are now contained in three ordinances
are included in the one.

Chief Beavers Host

Atlanta, Dec. 9.-Mrs. Louise
Herring, the pretty East Lake
widow, who spent last night at the
police station because she lost her
pocket-book. awoke this morning
none the worse for her strange eX-
perience, and with money advanc-
ed by Matron Bohnefeld, boarded
the big car for East Lake and went
happily home.
Her experience was a most un-
usual one. Mrs. Herring has been
resident of Atlanta only very
short time, and is practically will
out acquaintance in the business
center of the city. Young and
pretty, when she found she had
lost her pocket book, she did not
care TO 60 to any stranger for the
request of loan. So with tears
in her eyes, she watched the East
Lake car, about shutdown, start
for her home in the suburbs Gig t
miles distant, leaving her standing
disconsolately On the corner,
1t flashed through her mind that
way up north where she had been
before coming to Atlanta, she had
read in the papers about what a
grand, good man Chief of Police
Beavers was so she decided to ap-
! peal to him. She easily found the
way to the police station, told her
predicament, was given good
supper, with the matron, and was
received with as much hospitality
as she could possibly have received
at the best hotel.

WORRIED OVER wEEvIL.
Lauderdale County Takes Up Fight
s Against Direful Pest.

Against D1reful Pest
Meridian.-Considera concern is be-
ing expressed over the decrease in cot
ton receipts in this territory over last
year, and predictions are that Lauder
dale county will not make more than
IS to go per cent as much cotton as
last season. Lauderdale made $4,000
bales last year, according to the govern
ment census figures, but judging from
indications and the movement to date,
the crop will not amount to more than
$4,000 to $4,000 bales for this season.
This deterioration is attributed to the
rapid and ever increasing devastation of
the boil weevil, which made its appear
ance only last year. This is the second
year under the weevils baneful influ-
enoe and the ravages that it has made
have caused CONSERVATION among farm
ers and business men. Next year, the
third year under boil weevil conditions,
is, according to government agents, al
ways the worst, and if no improvement
is made, this county will not raise so
per cent of the crop of 1911.
To forestall this condition the Meri-
dian Progressive League is working to-
wards educational methods and have
called to their assistance the United
States government experts and the agri-
cultural department of the railroads.
