MUNICIPAL PLANT
PROVES PROFITABLE
AIbany's Plant Pays Into
Treasury $4,000

Albany, Ga, January 13.-Another
striking example of the great success
which has attended the operation of
public utilities in Albany by the mu-
nicipal government was presented in
the annual report of the water works
and electric light department.
Mayor Tarver, in his summoning up
of the years work in various city de-
partments, called attention to the fact
that the water and light department,
after paying all expenses of operation
and maintenance, including many i'm
provements out of the ordinary had
paid into the hands of the city treas
urer more than $4,000 in cash, an
amount equal to all the bond principal
and interest to be paid by the city dur
ing 1913.
But, the mayor continued in his re-
port, if the water and light department
were to charge the city what other
cities pay for street lights and the
lighting of public buildings, for fire
hydrants, drinking fountains, street
sprinkling and sanitary sewerers, the
actual net earnings of these two de-
partments would be in excess of $40,-
900, or sufficient to discharge the en-
tire public debt of Albany in less than
seven years.
The new gas plant is also being OPP
Grated under municipal ownership, and
during the first two months of the OPP
Grafton actually showed small marg-
in of excess of increase over expense
of maintenance and operation. 1t IS
believed that before the end of the
year the gas plant vii be paying hand
somely on the investment

ARCHIBALD GUILTY;
Will BE REMOVED
FROM JUDGESHIP
SENATE VOTES 68 TO IS
Declaring Him Guilty, Which
Means His Removal

Washington, D. c., Jan. 13.-Jud &c
Robert w. Archibald of the commerce
court, was found guilty today by the
senate sitting as a court of impeach-
ment, of having misused his Office
and power as judge for his personal
gain. The penalty is removal from
his high office.
Judge Archibald was convicted on
the first count of the u the house of
representatives brought against him.
1t charged he had used his position as
judge to persuade the Erie Railroad
Company to give to him and E. !.
Williams, of Scranton, Pa, an option
on coal dump at a price probably
$4,000 less than its real value.
On this, the first charge, the sena e
voted 68 to for his conviction Of
high crimes and misdemeanors."
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, vot-
ed to convict Judge Archibald, and
Senator Bacon, presided during the
session. He did not vote.
Although the verdict on one count
insured the removal from the bench
of Judge Archibald, the senate proceed
ed to vote upon the eleven other counts
in the indictment
At his trial the accused judge ad-
mitted practically all the facts of
every accusation brought against him,
but protested in defense that none Of
them was wrongful nor corrupt, nor
could he have been convicted in any
court of law for them.
The conviction upon the first count
came with an unexpected majority
against Judge Archibald, only two>
thirds being necessary for a convic-
ton. AS the roll of IS senators rose
slowly in their places and pronounced
the word guilty" in low tones, some
surprise was evidenced.
The subsequent balloting resulted in
the conviction of Judge Archibald upon
five counts of the indictment and his
being declared not guilty on seven of
the accusations against him.

TO ENJOIN AUDITOR

John Longstaff has filed q complaint
in suit against Henry B. Anderson,
the state auditor, to enjoin him from
paying many of the appropriations
made by the last and previous legis-
latures.
In his complaint he states that he is
taxpayer of the state Of South Dako-
ia and is, therefore. interested in the
expenditure of public funds. That the
constitution of the state Of South Da.
kota provides that all appropriations
for the general expenses Of state gov
ernment shall be contained in what il
known as the general appropriation
BILL and that all other appropriations
shall be contained in what is known as
special bills" which must be passed
by two thirds vote of the legislature.
That in the general appror ration bill
passed by the last legislature there
were contained many items which
properly should have been provided for
by special bills, and that the general
appropriation Dill, SO rar as those de-
partments are concerned, is unconstitu-
tional
He then alleges that appropriations
contained in chapter 21O of the laws Of
1909, affecting the insurance depart
ment; in chapter 267. affecting the ma
tional guard; in chapter 24o Of the laws
of 1909. and chapter 226 Of the laws Of

ing the dairy department: chapter25

FILING JUDGES PETITIONS

The secretary of state will hold on
one phase of the Richard primary act
that the impossible will not be de-
manded of judicial candidates. One
phase of the law provides for petit
tion nominations for circuit judge,
and provides that no petitions shall
be signed prior to ninety days before
the primary, with another provision
that judicial petitions must be filed
with the secretary not less than nine-
ty days before the primary. This,
Mr.. Richards says, was an error in
in drafting, but it is there, and the
secretary holds that he will accept
petitions Of candidates for circuit
Judge, even though the signing dates
show that the signatures were secur-
cd more than ninety days before the.
election, so as to allow the candi.
dates to make their filings within the
time limit.

FOR CLOSED SEASON ON DEER

Agitation among Black Hills hunt
ers for a closed season of several
years on deer has started as result
of the i'll luck of the numerous hunt
ers in the hills this month. With
the season almost closed, but thirty
two deer have been bagged in the
Black Hills this season. which is far
under the usual number. In Law
renee county alone there has been 23O
licenses issued and only dozen of
them have resulted in killings.
While it is true that there has been
no snow in the Hills, and consequent
ly the deer had better chances for es-
Gaping detection, the hunters all re-
port great scarcity of the animals
and believe that closed season is
necessary to replenish the number in
the Hills.
