Railroad Asked City To Share
Cost Of Building Storm Sewer
and Council Refused

When officials, OF the Charleston &
Western Carolina Railway appeared
la:t night before the Anderson city
council and attorneys for the railroad
presented their arguments, IT appear
ed for time that the city fathers
might agree to bear half the expense
OF constructing a new storm sewer
for the protection of the railroad
property On Main street. However,
within few minutes after such a mo-
tion was made very decided opposi-
lion became evident and the motion
was lost when Il vote was taken. Fol-
lowing that action the railroad served
notice 1t would institute suit against
the city to test its righ O force he
city to change the drainage along
South Main street. In the words of
A. w. Anderson, general manager of
the road, I'VE expect t to win with
hands down, but 1t will be entirely a
friendly suit from start to finish"
All the lawyers had few words to
gay, all the railroad representatives
had some suggestions to offer and al
most all the council wanted to talk.
AS result Of this something like one
hour was consumed. M

tip Of her nose. !'.is,
One piece OF sloping land Of several
acres was covered to depth Of ! 1-2
feet with hail, and in one gulley. Ia
feet deep. the hail had drifted TO the
very top Of the gully. Nothing like It
had ever been heard of In this coun-
try. There was a severe wind storm
and as one old lady expressed 1t In q
fearful manner, "the wind even blew
the burrows away" and indeed the
burrows were filled even with the rows
In the field. ~ .,{tssf
Mr.. Long stated that in all. of this

THE REToRT VICTORIOUS

A certain brilliantly clever lawyer had
one little popularity: He, fondly imag-
ined that he looked at least twenty years
younger than he really was.
One day in court he ws cross-eXamining
a selt-possessed young woman who was
acting as one of the witnesses in IA
nous trial. Needless to say, the court
room was crowded. The learned lawyer
was anxious to find out the age of some-
body the lady knew, and she was equally
determined not to give him the desired
information. Th lawyer told her that
She could at least make a guess.
The determined young woman eyed him
with a whitening glance. From your
looks I should say you were at least 60;
but judging from the questions you ask.
I should say 16," said she TRANQUILITY.
