hadn't found DR. Abel's name ON the
list He said the charter was mon
archical, that the Socialist stand
against it carried weight.
Chairman Ward, in answer to the
question, did the charter commits
sioners have the power TO put the
initiative and referendum into the
charter" said that in his opinion the
court had not passed on the question
whether the initiative and referendum
could be cOnstitutionally placed I'm
the city charter, and in leaving It out
therefore. he thought the commits
sioners had used discretion.
Mr.. Ward said it was not true to
say you might as we'll go to the other
place as go to the General Assembly
and expect to get anything from them.
Gallagher Cuts Debate.
Evan w. Gallagher. after a quarter
hour talk on the initiative, made the
motion that speeches be limited to
five minutes, which was hilariously
passed by the audience.
George Connell asked why heads
of departments were classed with
day laborers in being free from civil
service exams? Mr.. Ward said that it
was not necessary for them, because
they were chosen for executive abil-
ity chiefly, and that could not be dis
covered by a civil service examination
but by their past efficiency. 1t was
only the clerical employees in which
technical knowledge needed to be
shown by a civil service test.
Mr.. COnnell asked again about the
power of the mayor to impress men
to put down disturbances. Mr.. Ward
said that was to protect laboring men
as well as others, there had TO be
some way to preserve order. and all
the riots in Wilmington had not been
over labor troubles.
The Rev. G. H. Dole closed the even
ing with an argument for the commits
sion form of government. Laughter
was caused by a tilt in which Mr..
Dole insisted that the charter required
legal reasons for removing an official.
mo" exclaimed William f. Kurtz, mot
legal reasons, but reasons founded on
common sense" and the crowd roared.
The only woman speaker, DR..
Josephine Delacour, said the expert

spected and well known young women

CoWGER HELD
NOT AT FAULT

A trial of the charge of assault In
the court of w. j. Berry yesterday al
ternoon resulted in the acquittal OF
Marshal Goldie Cowger of the city OF
Agency. The trial took on the aspect
of the airing of a town fight in which
Mr.. Cowger was the center OF attrac'
ton. The arrest and beating by COW
ger of a peddler on the streets OF
Agency August Is, was made the
basis of charge filed with the coun'
ty attorney by T. F. Carver. Notwlth-
standing that the informant was not
in the city at the time of the so-called
beating as was shown in the nearing
of the case, there were several other
witnesses produced who testified to
seeing the marshal hit the unknown
peddler over the head with CLUB.
The testimony of the defendant and
his witnesses tended to show that the
beating actually took place but not
until the unknown peddler had at
tempted to strike the officer The
defendant afterwards took pity on the
man he struck and took him to a doc
tor, bought him new shirt and gave
him a dollar before sending him on his
way. It appeared from the testimony
and arguments Of the counsel that the
matter was largely village fight over
the appointment by Mayor Giltner OF
Goldie Cowger to the post of marshal.
Justice Berry decided for the defend
ant and ordered the release OF Mr..
Cowger.

booze taken recently from building

They took a long look at each other,
shook hands, and then said one TO the
other:
well, I'm pretty glad to meet YOU
Then they broke into eager CONVEX
sation and with animation discussed
events which happened in their early
days, events which are classed by the
most of us ancient history.
They climbed into H. E. knlght
auto and after their pictures had peeh
taken, enjoyed an auto tour arounc
Shenandoah, talking eagerly the wnlie.
These men were past their nineteen
birthdays before they first saw an

keen delight in hitting up the pace
as any kids who had grown up WIN

Farm Notes

The best fertilizer for the garden is
rotted stable manure.
Tho corn grader is a necessity on
every farm where the corn planter 10
used.
Diversified gardening is the safest
course for growers supplying local
markets.
Fresh seed you must have to be
good. and good seed is necessary to
get Q satisfactory crop.
Onion seed for ripe onions should
be sown as early as the ground can
be worked in good order.
Do not plant short rows. but let
them run the whole length Of the
garden II need be-why not1
In setting plants, II tho top IL too
long cut part Of it OF. 1t will prevent
whiting, and tho plant 10 more apt to
grow.
To grow crisp early vegetables tho
soil must be kept thoroughly pulver-
ized and we'll filled with rotted stable
manure.
String beans should be drilled In
double rows six inches apart. with
Just enough space between to allow
for cultivation.
Nitrate of soda will force the growth
Of melons. tomatoes and other plants.
A tablespoonful scattered about each
tomato plant and slightly raked In
will produce good results.
Il requires some ingenuity to bring
tender. young plants through their
flrst three weeks of existence when
tho sun is hitting them at about 120
degrees-but It pays.
