HE KNOWS HIS WORK
Bill Whitson Has Been Raised Up
With Board of Commissioners,

1t is one thing to have ability and
1t Is another thing to have courage to
do ones duty under all circumstances.
The man who has ability without cour-
age is not a good official. He will
yield when pressure Is brought to
bear. He likes to be a good fellow,
and that spirit of good fellowship
leads many man of small courage
to do the wrong thing
Out in the third commissioners dis
trict there is a candidate who has
ability, coupled with courage. That
man is none other than Bill Whitson.
He has been doing road and bridge
work nearly all his life. He knows
that work like the clerk knows the
goods in his department, or like the
real estate man knows the property
listed with him for sale. He has
never compromised with any condi-
tion that led him not to do his best.
In that way he has built up a charac.
ter that is so strong no man can break
it down now since he has reached
the age of full maturity and full re-
sponsibility.
Bill Whitson has, so to speak,
grown up with the office of commits
sioner in Carter county. He is ac-
quainted with every kind of propo-
sition that comes up before that body
1t is true that hearing these things
is not quite like meeting them and
doing them, but that acquaintance
with the men Of the county and with
the questions that must be solved
gives him a better experience than
men who have never served can get.

BEFORE YOU VOTE
Take Time to See What Is Said Of
This County Candidate.

Sometimes there is just little SEN
timent and little fuller beat of the
heart when man is in the polling
booth all alone and is being guided
absolutely by his conscience as he
moves the stencil down the ticket,
picking out those for whom he de-
sires to vote.
The heart must beat just little
stronger when the stencil in this elec-
tion moves down to the name of R. NJ.
Billiard, candidate for county weigher.
In his work he is very much like our
friend B. A. Holiday is out on the
farm. He works all the time. Bob
billiard knows how to do the work, be-
cause he has filled the place before.
He was elected by the people once
and made absolutely good, and then
when our old friend Smith Redman
died and the commissioners named
his son, Roy, for the office, Bob Dill
lard took up the work again and let
Roy go on and graduate in the city
schools. Bob billiard and his wife
have a family of orphan children
whom they are rearing and educating
and he is doing more than that,-he is
giving them a home where family love
and family protection is given, and
those unfortunate children are being
taken care of in the right way. Bob
billiard deserves a vote-he deserves
your vote. (Adv)

Court Ipenient With
 Father Who Drank at
 Soldier Sons Death

On receiving a letter from the Aus trian consul at Washington that his son had just been shot and mortally wounded in a battle between the Aus trian and Italian borders, John Turzy, 57, of 357 Hancock avenue, an Aus trian, took to drink He was arrest ed last night. In city court today he told Judge Wilder that he preferred drowning his sorrow by filling up with whisl1ey rather than throwing himself overboard-
 The son was a soldier in the Aus trian army. At the age of 20 the son was refused adnaittance to the army. Physicians said he was unfit. At the age of 35, he was called to the front and was compelled to forsake a wife and ffvef children Last week he was killed on the battlefield His father is griefstricken. Judge Wilder thought it best to send the weeping father to jail for 20 days. It is ex- pected that by that time he will have become econci1ed.

Accept Resignation
 Of Gordon From Bar

The report of the gievance com mittee recommending that the resig- nation of Attorney Benjamin H. Cor don as member of the Fairfield County Bar association be accepted, was accepted by Judge Webb in the superior court this afternoon. At torney Charles Stuart Canhe1d of the r'rievance committee said complaint had been made that Attorney Gordon had been guilty of irregular practice in settling an estate.
 Upon investigation the committee found the evidence was strong enough to warrant bringing proceedings against Attorney Gordon in the su- perior court. The young local lawyer offered to resign from the bar, how ever, so no court proceedings were brought.

BUILDING BOARD
 CLERKS TO GET
 NEW SCHEDULES
Not on the Job When Want ed, Taxpayers Find, and
 Changes Will Be Made

So many complaints are heard at city hall because the office of the building commissioners is not kept open during the hours when other offices in the city hall are doing ous- mess that the administration will suggest different arrangement of the working hours of the attaches there.
 Daniel M. Rowland and his build ing inspector and clerk of the board and the assistants, Bernard J. Nickel vey and Andrew P. Owens are rare 1y in the office except just before noon time and on Tuesday and Fri day afternoons when the cOnrnisSi on meets to consider and grant building permits. Sometimes the office is not opened until nearly 9~-o'c1ock in the morning. From 12 o'clock noon un- til about 2 o'clock in the afternoon the office is closed.
 No one remains in the office when Miss A. Gertrude McGrath, the com nnissioners' stenographer is at her lunch. Builders and others who de- sire to file applications for building permits or who wish to transact oth- CT business with the office are put to considerable inconvenience be cause of the irregular office hours there. Builders frequently leave mes sages or plans in the office of the city engineer or the director of pub lie works. These messages many times are delayed in delivery or are not delivered requiring the persons giving them to make a second visit to the city hall.
 Frequent Complaints made to the commissioners have brought nc change in the method of conducting business in that office and at last Mayor Wilson has been appealed to. He will order that some arrangement be made whereby either Assistant In spector McKe1vey or Assistant Inspec- tor Owens will be in the office dur ing the time Miss McGrath is at lunch and that the office be kept open all the time from in the morn ing until 4 in the afternoon, each day that other offices in the city hall are open.

 The former alderman drew one with that ease and grace born of long prac- tice. He placed it on the bar and the customer reached for it Dan caught a glimpse of the overcoat sleeve on the outstretched arm. He got around the bar in four-tenths 0f second, flat.
 A hurried examinat on showed the customer was wearing Dams lost over coat. The former alderman marched him across the street to the Third pre- einct station and had him locked up. In police court today, the prisoner gave, his name as John Leonard, re- siding in State street. He said he'd been drinking for several days and didn't remember where he acquired MT. Walkers coat. The former alder man asked the judge to be 1enient with the prisoner.
