The regular monthly meeting of
city council was held Friday night,
all the aldermen being present. The
matter of most Importance \taKen up
at the meeting was the question of
selling bonds, and it was decided
to investigate the matter further and
reach a final agreement at a called
meeting of the council to be held
some time within the next two or
three weeks.
Selection of Engineer.
The selection, of a competent en-
gineer to oversee the paving was also
postponed until the street commit
tee should investigate the records Of
several engineers who have applied
for the position. Messrs. W. A. San
ders, of Anderson, and n. Beebe, Of
Spartanburg, civil engineers, appear
ed before council and made propos-
ais for handling the work. They
were told that the council would
reach a decision at a later meeting.
Both men have had considerable ex-
perience as engineers in charge of
paving construction. There are two
other applicants for the position
who did not appear before council
and who have not made a competi-
tive bid for the work. These men
will be notified and will be given an
opportunity to submit a bid for their
services. -.
The kind of bond to be offered
was not determined and is probable
that the opinion Of bond expert
will be sought before the matter IS
settled. It is possible, though, that
the bonds offered will be of $1,000
denomination with 5 1-2 percent in
terest to run for 80 years.
Chief Makes Report.
The report of the chief Of police
shows that total of 55 cases were
tried in Mayors court during the

for gambling, 18 for disorderly con-

BAPTISTS MAKE ATTACK
ON WAR DEPARTMENT

Atlanta, May 17.-Reiterated
charges that the war department
sought to break down denomination
al lines during the war were. made
late today at the Southern Baptist
Convention by President ]. B. Gam
brell of Fort Worth. He also voiced
disapproval of any proposal fol
church union.
"What is wrong about the Metho-
dists, Baptists and Presbyterians 60
ing about attending to their own bus
iness?" he asked. DR.. Gambrell also
charged that the government en-
tered into an agreement with the Y.
M. C. A. not to encourage anything
denominational in army camps" and
said he had seen proof of this on the
minutes of the "Y" in New York.
The convention already has ap-
pointed committee to lay before
President Wilson charges that the
war department sought to break
down denominational lines among
Protestant churches and the matter
came up again today at the reading
of a report by committee appointed
to make recommendations on the
presidents annual address. The re-
port which indorsed the address was
overwhelmingly adopted.
The Rev. M. Ashby Jones, D. D., of
Atlanta, made a spirited defense of
the Y. M. C. A., saying the report
"misrepresents". the association and
telling Of it's work in France. He
also said the war department ordered
that Baptists might conduct their
services in their own way, and at this
there were cries from the floor of
"proof, produce the proof" He said
he would at the next session. DR..
Jones said he was against any inter
Church movement that would break
down denominational lines but as
serted the convention had no right to
say whom any individual Baptist OF
independent Baptist church might OF
might not cooperate with"

RESUMPTION of Trade is Provided il
Treaty.


Paris, May 16.-The German
peace treaty, it developed today
contains a clause which has not yet
been made public providing that rat
ifcation by Germany and three OF
the principal associated powers will
bring the treaty into force between
the ratifying parties, enabling the
immediate resumption of trade.
AS the result of conferences
among the representatives of the
powers, which are being continued
today, the text of the German treaty
probably will be made public by IN
stallments. It is reported that the
financial and boundaries sections of
the document will be released to-
night.
It was pointed out today in con-
nection with the stipulation as to the
ratification Of the German treaty
that any nation which withheld rati-
fication after three of the principal
powers had ratified would be at a
disadvantage in a commercial way.
This would follow from the fact
that the ratifying powers would be
able to resume trade relations with
Germany at once while the states
that delayed would have no such
privilege.
