AMENDMENTS TO THE
CHARTER DISCUSSED
BY MEMBERS BOARD
INFORMAL MEETING CITY FA-
THEIRS CONSIDER MANY MAT
TIERS OF INTEREST.
MATTER OF HIGH SCHOOL
City Limits May Be Extended During
the Present Legislature to include
Riverside, East Hill, Park Addl-
ton and West End.

The providing of commission fol
the maintenance of the police and
fire departments of the city under civ
| ii service regulations; the issuing OF
bonds. for the erection of a high
school building; the establishment OF
two voting places in the city to ap,
ply in city elections, and the exten.
sion of the city limits, were subjects
discussed at an informal meeting of
the board of mayor and aldermen at
the city hall Tuesday afternoon.
There is at present commission
that regulates in measure the po-
lice and fire department, but provis-
ion for this is only made by an ordi-
nance, when it is desired to place it
in the charter.
Another matter which is of the
highest importance and which has
been agitating the minds of the peo-
pie of the city and surrounding coun-
try as well, is that of high school
building. Some time since a resolu-
ton was passed by the board direct
ing the city attorney to draft bill
enabling the city Of Columbia to is-
sue bonds for the purpose of erect
ing a high school building. It is the
purpose of the board to have this bill
introduced in the legislature right
away by the representatives in both
houses, and to secure its passage at
as early date cas- possible in order
that ether steps may be taken re-
garding the matter of high school
building.
The Legislature will also be asked
to amend the charter so as to pro-
vide for two voting places in the
city limits to apply in city elections,
the present voting places only apply
ing to county and state elections.
Another matter which was under
was the request OF a
number of citizens of the city to
have the corporation limits extended
SO as to include their property, these
requests coming from all directions
In all probability the city limits will
be extended by the present legisla-
ture, provided an equitable adjust
ment of matters can be arrived at.
The board can petition to have the
limits extended by legislative enact
nent, but no action will be taken un-
IL the sentiment of the people at
ected can be arrived at. So far no
)lan has been determined on to as
certain this sentiment, but this will
,e done within the next few days.
The proposed additions to the city
ire Riverside portion of East Hill,
south beyond the cotton factory and |
aking in the park addition, and west
o include West End.

PORT DiBRELL AND Is
REMOVED.

of his refusal to support Dibrell for
state comptroller of the treasury, &C
cording to his friends, James Brett,
Jr, has been dismissed from the Of
fee of deputy to the county court
clerk by T. B. Crenshaw. It Is ex-
pected that Brett expects to make the
race for county court clerk rext
year.
Dibrell and Crenshaw are said to
be firm friends. When Brett went to
the legislature at the beginning Of the
present session, his friends say, he
was asked by Crenshaw to support
Dibrell. This Brett is said to have
refused to do, declaring that he would
stick with the Shelby delegation,
which opposed the comptroller's re-
election He was informed at the
time says his friends, that unless he
did support Dibrell that he would be
dismissed.
Following the Shelby delegations
activities in defeating the comptrol-
Ter, Brett's friends say, nothing was
said to him about his removal from
the Office of deputy to the county
court clerk. Brett resigned his ap-
pointment as chairman of the senate
committee on finance, with the an
nounced intention of assuming his
duties in the clerks ONCE during the
legislative recess. Tuesday morning
when presented his wages for last
month, he says he was told his SER

THEIR SCHEME IS DISCOVERED

Substituted-special Agent of De.
Partment Plays Detective Role.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 5.-The
bars have been put up on storekeep-
ers-gaugers in Louisville as the re-
suit of an investigation that has been
quietly conducted by special agents
sent out by the U. S. revenue office.
It became known today that an inQui.
ry had been in progress for several
weeks with regard to charges made
by government distillers that gaugers
in a number of the bonded warehous
es were Systematically extracting
from seven to eight quarts of whis-
ky each day and pass it out to par
ties who would dispose of it to their
mutual profit. The Withdrawals of
the liquor were made without the
knowledge of either the government
or the distillers. Federal prosecution
Is promised.
For years, by common agreement,
1t seems, the gaugers have been in
the habit of making minor withdraw
ais for their own and their friends
use. This practice was not ,yen
frowned upon by the distillers. The
custom of the gaugers, it seems, was
to charge up these Withdrawals to
the test" account When the with.
drawals became suspiciously imros-
ing the distillers demanded an inves
tigation.
Special Agent M. Yarberry was de.
tailed to the case. He donned over
alls and secured a place as dav la
borer in one Of the warehouses where
the gaugers were under suspicion
He discovere that men in charge OF
the warehouse were extracting as
much as seven quarts of whisky from
the barrels each day. The liquor was
bottled and placed in certain v in
