COUNTY BOARD MEETING.
J.. B. Bradley Elected Rural Police
man to Succeed w. T.. Mcbride, De-
Ccascd-COmplaint from Gasoline
Dealers.

Yesterday the regular meeting of
the County Board Of Commissioners
was held in the supervisors office.
All members were present, with the
exception Of Mr.. w. M. Lenoir.
Mr.. M. H. Beck was present with a
request that he be allowed to install
a chewing gum slot machine at Po-
Gala. which was to deliver five-cent
package of gum. This machine, he
explained. gave each customer his
moneys worth, there being no
blanks, hut each person operating the
machine had a chance for an extra
prize. The question as to the legal
lty of operating such a machine was
raised and the matter was referred to
the county attorney.
A petition was presented from Mr..
George F. Epp arson asking that the
board prohibit the sale Of gasoline in
the county on Sundays. He explained
that the city ordinance fOrbids the
purchase Of gasoline. except in cases
OF necessity, and then 1t had to be
bought under a permit. These per-
mits are issued only to doctors and
non-residents and thus make it nec-
essary for those wishing gasoline to
get it in the conutry. This was a
manifest injustice to the city dealers
and places them at a disadvantage.
After considerable discussion. the
Board decided that this was a mat
ter Of law enforcement which was
in the hands of the sheriff and COM
plant should be made to him.
Messrs. A. c. Phelps, E. I. Reardon,
e. w. Dabbs. G. A. Lennon, s. I.
Wilson, Neill O'Donnell. DuRant
Tisdale and others appeared before the
Board with a request that the Black
River road be put in better shape be-
fore the tobacco season opened. Mr..
Wilson said that the landowners along
the way were willing to contribute
one-half the amt necessary for
putting this road in .,ood shs )e. He
