City Council Adopts Rigid Rules to
Be Observed as to Social Clubs.

Spartanburg, Dec. 10.--The atti-
tude OF the new city commission to-
ward the social club system of the
city has become pronounced in the
announcements made by Mayor Floyd
in which he DEGREES that prior to the
issuance Of any license to these organ
izations, the management Of the club
must first file the charter under which
1t operates, the name Of the manager
or managers, its officers. the names
Of the stewards and the names Of ey-
cry member. 1t is imperative that
the clubs comply with this decree be-
| fore the next meeting of the council,
at which time the commissioners will
look over credentials as offered and
if they find any evidence Of a vari-
ance from the strict reading Of the
State and city laws the license will
be ref .sed.
The Century club, which is alleged
to be brand new organization, com
piled today.
Said the mayor this morning: 1--WE
do not intend to be run over rough
shod during this administration by
the social clubs who conduct their
places recklessly, and every effort will
be exerted to see that the club is op-
Grated worthy of the charter under
which it operates"
In other words, this dictum Of May
or Floyd revolves itself into a ready
reference index Of the social club or
| ganizations Of the city and to further
the ends Of the city commission in
correcting the public morals. Mayor
Floyd himself admits that the careless
manner Of operating the social clubs
has contributed to great extent to the
position the city has for a long time
held in the eyes of the State as being
the most wide-open prohibition town
70 be found anywhere.
While the license revenue to be
collected from social club organiza-
| tion has been placed at the low figure
Of $50 per annum, the stipulation Of
, the ordinance which requires that
every club furnish bond in the sum
! of $1,000, to be forfeited when any
| club violates city ordinance, will
have great effect in few licenses be-
ing applied for.

FAULT OF COMPANY.

phOning kilograms.

Greenville, Dec. lois q telegraph
company liable for damages in cases
where errors are made in transmits
sion Of kilograms by telephone? A
Greenville jury decided this question
in the affirmative here today in COM
mon pleas court by awarding Mrs.
Laura E. Painter Of this city $500
damages against the Western Union
Telegraph company for error in the
transmission Of q telegram from
Charleston to Greenville in which
the word here" was 30 changed as
to read dead" when it reached

mony the error was made in tele-
phoning the telegram from the sender

mitted here. If the decision stands it

MAY NAME EX.GOV. GLENN.
Slated For Interstate Commerce
Commission, Is Report.

Washington, Dec. 9.--The nomi-
nation Of former Gov. Robert B.
Glenn, Of North Carolina, to be a
member Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission will, it is believed, be
sent to the senate within the next
few days by the president. Governor
Glenn will be named t. fill the va
cancy created by the death Of John
II. Marble. or by the resignation Of
Charles A. Prouty.
The appointment Of Ex-Governor
Glenn probably will have the effect
Of removing Governor Glenn from the
United States Senatorial race against
Senator Lee s. Overman The for
mer has been a prospective candidate
for some time, and his appointment
on the commission. it is thought, will
be regarded by him as desirable a
berth as the senatorship. The form
er governor was an "anti-railroad'
executive Of his State.

out of the settlement. The officers
arrived shortly afterwards and the ne
groes pointed out the house. This
was surrounded and Officers McKagen
and Forbes entered and placed the
man under arrest.

Seattle, Wash, Times. Nov. &c.
To James r. Morrison, former en-
gineer Of King County. and one of
the big practical road builders Of the
Pacific Coast has come the honor
OF being asked to consider the busi-
ness managership OF LIE Grande,
Ore. at a salary Of $4,000 a year.
LIE Grande has a commission form
OF city government like other eastern
cities, and has determined to test
the practicability of a city business
manager, whose authority would be
in the municipality Of the same SCOPE
as Of one similarly situated in a pri-
vate corporation. LIE Grande wanted
a manager who could manage and the
commissioners came to Seattle for
their man, and here fixed upon Jim
Morrison.
1t happened at the time Morrison
was attending the Good Roads Con-
vention at North Yakima. He was
sent for by local bank. which rep.
resents much Of the wealth Of the city
of LIE Grande, and which placed the
proposition squarely before him.
Morrison was told he would have fall
rein, bacled by a guarantee there
would be no "butting in" on the part
OF the city commissioners. SO high
was their opinion Of his ability and
integrity.
