personal nature, and that ne had
directed the clerk to pay such mes
sages and charge them to the city's
accounts. Council was thoroughly
convinced that MI Stillwell conscious
~ directed those obligations to be
paid By the city anG also was con-
scious or the fact thet they were his
own personal obligations. therefore
council felt that il IL had not been for
the alertness of the clerk and treas
urer these bills would have been paid
by the city, and courcil was satisfied
from the evidence that Mr.. Stillwell
could not be relied upon to handle
the affairs OF the city. and most es-
pecially in connection with the dis
bursement Of the city's funds.
Council now feels that the public
should know why Mr.. Stillwell was
Ipercmptorily discharged and should
also know the real truth and not be
misled by the terms OF the resigna
ton filed. and council can only say
that the false statements contained
therein are in keeping with many
other similar statements made by the
city manager, which council feels
were equally as false.

contests in South Carolina have been
nted with Secretary OF State w.

defeated candidates a thousand dol
lars each. L.. a. Hawkins, colored.
OF Columbia, Republic an candidate for

or orangeburg, Demo crat, and M. St.
John Sasportas, OF Charleston. Re-
publican candidate defeated by w.

contestants. If they carry their CON
tests TO congress and the committee
.of credentials decides that the claims
are prima faciC, even though the two
men are not seated they will have
thcir expenses paid to Washington
and get $1,000 each.
The two contestants allege certain
irregularities in the recent election.
especially that certain citizens were
not allowed to register. Hawkins AL
leges also that the late opening OF tho
ballot boxes in Columbia prevented
certain voters from casting their bal
lots.
The protests will hardly be consid-
cred by the state board of election
cdnNasStrS, AZ they are matters for
the special committee of congress.
The state canvasserS have not as
yet declared the result Of the recent
elections. They held one meeting
but all returns were not in, and a sec
0nd meeting within :, fow days will
be necessary.
