THE opinion Of the city attorney
on the petition for an eight hour
work day on city work favored the
petitioners, citing where the state
and national government made eight
hours a work day for all laborers
and artisans, and stating that he
found nothing In law or in the city
charter against such concession to
labor. The question is thus left in
the hands of the city council for such
action as they may deem fit to be-
stow upon the petition. .

If the city council has the right,
under the provisions of the charter,
to appropriate monies for the Fourth
of July celebrations most proper
thing-why should it not have the
right under the same provisions to
make appropriations for the endow-
ment of a city band? The band
question in Virginia has been a bone
of contention for several years past.
and while there has been a DISPOSE
tioh on the part of citizens to lend
support insofar as possible it has
always been considered out of the
question for the giving of municipal
aid to such an organization. We be-
lieve, however, under the attorneys
construction of the charter, that
such aid can be legally granted.

The governor has certainly had
more trouble with his official family
than any chief executive in our rec
objection. One member of his staff,
Col. Jno. P. Grace, has testified that
he has. traced liquor graft practically
up to the governors Office, and the
friendship existing between himself
and the governor has been broken.
Col. w. G. Stubs, of Sumter, an
other member of the staff and a
friend of the governor, admits receiv-
ing 500 for procuring pardon. Col.
V. B. Cheshire, of Anderson, has re-
signed from the staff because the
governor wouldn't dismiss a magis-
trate whom Cheshire wanted turned
out of office; and now Col. S. ]. Mich
oils, close friend OF the governor,
is reported by the dictagraph as stat
ing that the governor was to receive
a part of the money paid for par
don, and that he always divided with
the governor. Truly the governor
friends are giving him lots OF
trouble.

There has been issued book Of
1856 pages giving a record of the par
dons and paroles by the governor,
and it is being used as campaign
document. The book was printed by
the State printers, presumably at the
expense of the State. In 319 cases
unfortunates have been saved from
bondage inflicted by the courts and
Jurors sworn to do their duty. We
ask any fair-minded man if it pos
sible that our courts have become
such instruments of oppression and
Jurors so false to their sense of right
and justice that they have convicted
innocent men in so many cases that
they must be released by executive
action? Who is more liable to c.
ror, the many judges and jurors who
tried these cases or one man who null
lilies the action of the courts?

His Reason.

A banker in central kentucky was
in the habit of wearing his hat a
good deal during business hours, as
in summer the flies used his bald
pate for parade ground, and in win
ter the cold breezes swept over its
polished surface. A negro workman
on the railroad each week presented
a check and drew his wages, and one
day, as he put his money in a greasy
wallet, the banker said:
Look here, Nose, why don't you
let some of that money stay in the
bank and keep an occount with us?'
The darky leaned toward him and
with a quizzical look at the Derby
the banker wore, answered confden-
tally:

like you was always ready to start
somewheres. ."-Harper's.

An Immigrant Tragedy.

Like a poor dumb brute-silently
appreciative-the Russian Pollock
came and went with his faded wife
and his little curly-haired girl, and in
the eyes of all of them was hungry
yearning for the homeland, bad as it
had been. America had not proven
the Paradise pictured to them by
the immigration agents and the
steamship officials; they had not, as
they had expected, been endowed
with the Midas touch when they
reached the western shores of this
strange, new land.
Here is his story:
Prosecuted, harassed, driven al
most to death, he left his Russia
about four months ago and land
ed in the mystic whirl of New York
city, from whence the immigration
agents shipped him, his wife and
child, south on a free labor ticket.
They arrived in Augusta, worked two
months and then informed their en-
ployer-heaven knows who he was
that they desired payment for their
labor of two months that they might
journey on to Atlanta and join those
of their own tongue and race. They
were given fifty cents-ffty cents for
two months labor!-and sent to All
ken-toward Atlanta! The husband
and father gave his wife and child
the fifty cent piece, placed them on
the trolley and sent them to Aiken,
while he walked-Walked all the
way!-and reached Aiken late Fri
day afternoon. And for three days
they had gone without food!
Stranded in Aiken without pen
ny, without bite to eat, unable, any
of them, to speak, read, write, or un-
derstand one single word of English!
mumbling necessarily "Atalanty.'
And in Aiken there were two Jews
who understood the Polish language,
Mr.. Rudnick, at the Famous Bar
gain Store, and Mr.. Solomon Suras-
ky, Of Surasky Bros. The poor
Pollock was taken in Friday night,
fed and given lodging by Mr.. Suras-
KY, who, Saturday morning, reported
the whole pitiable affair to certain
person in Aiken. This latter person
went to the city officials, and was
SEMI away with the advice: go take
up collection for him. Well, that
Aiken person wasn't very elated over
this prospect, nevertheless he went,
his Pollock with him, and everywhere
he told the story of THE Dumb I'm
migrants" purse-strings were loos-
ened, until S16.35 had been collected;
three hungry mouths fed, and two
tickets to Atlanta purchased, and as
the big, braW-ny man accepted the
bounties the tears gathered in his
eyes; he said nothing, but stopped
and kissed the hands of his bene-
factors. And that expression of pain
that one sees in the face of a dog suf-
fering pain passed from his counte-
nance. The tired, little woman
smiled and the child chuckled in
glee.
They are in Atlanta now, but they
remember Aiken and the persons
who contributed to their welfare.
Through the mouth of the Interpreter
for the occasion came these words:
81 lika da Aiken ver' mush; de peo-
pie, dey better dan Roosha. ."-Aiken
