ings from their present site. but the
lowest bid was beyond the worth Of
the structures to expend.
Mr.. Conkling, who backed up the
plea for relief in an earnest speech,
suggested that the buildings might be
removed if the roofs were taken off.
The matter was left with the ways
and means committee.
Salary Raise Criticised.
Attention was drawn to the raising
the salary of the timekeeper of the
road department without submission to
the board. 1t was the sentiment OF
the meeting that, while the position
might be worth the increased pay, the
matter should first have been passed
upon by the board.
It was decided to require a bond OF
the city and county engineer, under the
increased responsibility that full
charge of the department lately given
him imposes.
Hotel Street Widening.
H. Culnan by his agent, r. r. Reid
ford, submitted an itemized statement
Of the amount of damages he would
accept for the widening of Hotel
street near Fort, making total OF
$4276. The offer was made without
prejudice to any claim he might make
in case of proceedings brought to con
denim the property.
F. w. Damon, also by Mr.. Reidford
submitted his claim for damages il
the same connection, without preju
dice likewise, the amount being SIS,
S55.
The communications were referred
to the ways and means committee.
Supervisor Low, before the meetinl
adjourned, suggested an early meeting
of the ways and means committee t
consider the Hotel street proposition
Mcclellan remarked that the $50,

like thirty cents since the damag,

100 PROTEST AGAINST A LEPER

TACOMA, Wash, February H.
John Early, the leper, whose efforts to
find a place where he might live have
caused him to become a character of
national note, was rejoicing today that
he had at last found a solution of his
life problem by fencing himself in on
an acre of ground near here but
neighbors were laying plans to compel
him to move.
At an indignation meeting attended
by 100 persons, resolutions we're
adopted declaring that the United
States government should take charge
of Early and remove him from the
community. A delegation was APP
pointed to wait on the county com
missioners and protest against the
isolation plan,

MR.. WILLARD DARES
BLEASE TO SUE HIM.


Judge Jones, alderman from ward 1,
and one of the most enterprising men
in Spartanburg is to face a slander
suit at the hands of Governor Blease,
if the governor makes good his threat
to sue him. In the report of the
campaign meeting from Union Satur-
day the telegraph wires got the
name tangled up and made the name
appear J. T. Willis, instead of j. T..
Willard.
1t seems that Mr.. Willard wrote to
a relative in Union, a Blease man,
asking him to get on the Jones side
The governor read the letter. He
said: "To show what dirty filth the
Jones gang is using to try to beat
me-"
AS read by the governor, the letter
indicated an effort to induce one of
his supporters Ga cousin of the
writer) to desert the governor, as
"you are a consistent church mem
ber, and do not drink or gamble" !"
The governor said that when the cam
paign was over he would make j. T.
Willard answer for "the dirty lie he
has sent out"
Mr.. Willard stated today that he is
solvent, that if the governor gets q
judgment for slander against him he
would pay it, and branded the gov
ernor as afraid to bring the suit un-
less he made good his threat. OF
course, Mr.. Willard does not think
that Blease will sue, and few others
have any idea that the governor was
in earnest in his intentions.
Spartanburg Bleaseites are expect
ed to return the courtesy extended
them by the Greenville Bleaseites.
The Spartans are expected to visit
Greenville on August 90 when the
state campaign meets there and are
expected to hold up two hands in the
hand primary and are also expected
to make all the noise possible. OF
course, as true Bleaseites, the Spar
tans will respond and the Southern
Railway will haul them over.
