The [ poster advertising this meeting was not signed by any one and did not go j Into the details as to the object In , holding the meeting. Mr. Sam Hoyle who finally called the meeting to order j stated that It was held for the purpose , of assisting the Board of Aldermen in solving the problems now confronting > the town. Mr. W. S. Weatterspoon , was made chairman and Mr. D. L* St. ; Clair secretary. At the request of some one the town budget was read after which there was a general discussion as to how money should oe raised to resume the work of keeping the streets in re- , pair and sprinkled and for keeping the town clean and In a sanitary condition. Xhe board had to suspend this work on account of not having funds to carry , it on. They had hoped to get the money by asking the town to Increase the tax assessment, but that proposl- ( tlon was “turned down” at the recent election. It was found that the town y was in debt to the amount of 915,000. The board had to borrow the money to meet operating expenses as the , amount raised from taxes was not 6uf- , ficent to take care of things. Every one present realized that the town was “up against It,” and that it will take some nice work to get things going again. The board has done its best , to make “both ends meet,” but found it impossible to do so wltnoul increas ing the tax rate. As nothing feasible was offered as to how th'' problem should be met adjournment was taken without having accomplished any thing. After leaving the hall some of our citizens were heard to remark that If they had known the true condition of affairs they would have voted for the measure when the election was held. _ Young Girl Accidentally Killed Miss Ada Smith, the 18-year old daughter of Mr. Dave Smith, of the Moncure section, was shot and killed Wednesday night. The particulars of this tragic affair are about as follows: While Mist Smith and a party of a supply of gas. After the gas had been put in the car, Mr. Dickens en tered the store to change some money when a gun In the buildiDg was dis charged, the load taking effect about the head and shoulders of Mies Smith Who wap seated In the car. The woanded girl who was rushed to San ford for treatment died soon after being carried to Central Carolina Hos pital. The body was turned over to Undertaker Rogers for burial. It is thought that the killing was ac cidental. Mr. Dickens, who Is a very nervons man, had set a gun In his store *• a protection at night against rob bers, andit is thought that he forgot about "having set the trap when he went to enter the store. Realizing the seriousness of the deed Mr. Dickens became frightened and disappeared and at last accounts Sher iff Lasater, who went to search for him, bad not succeeded in apperhend lng him. How I Became My Own Grand father - I married a widow who had a daughter. My father visited our house frequently, fell in love with my step-daughter and mar ried her.
