Bays, at Tryon Street Methodist church, he being one of the moving spirits in organizing in that field, which organization was a success from tiie start and has grown in keeping with the growth of that section, which is marvelous and the present new church is the outcome of the special need for a house in keeping with the times, fii for any one, be he fastidious or easy to please as to where he i)rays, and yeMerday marked a new era in church circles at Belnioiil Park, it being the date of the formal opening of Belmont Park Meitiodist church, which Rev.

They want, parks for health of the mill people that they may be stt'ong to work and make dividends. They "carry the bag,” but the master said that for this waste the woman should be remembered for all time, and as mtich as you need the hospital, the park where the band plays and people meet, yet you have done the wiser thing in building the house of God first.

Tlu* efforts .Mr. Haw kins lias made and is still making to bring about e(iualizatioii deserve the hearty commendation of the iieoiile. \ strikin,g illustration of the f(u'ce and effect of -Mr. Hawkins' activity in this matter is the fact that although no mayor heretofore has deemed it his duty to siieak out about this impor tant matter, yet since Mr. Hawkins has had the hardihood to agitate the ques tion and call atfenton to the discrimi nation and seek to remedy it. now comes his opopnent and endorses Mr. Hawkins's i^osition by adoi>ting it as one of the planks of his iilatform. If Mr. Hawkins had not fought for equal ization it is safe to sa,y the question would n'Sf have been involved in this campaign. o. Mr. Hawkins’ absolute impartial- it.r has been so marked thai with all their diligence his opponents have not yet charged that he has favored one section of the city discriminatoly against others. It might be well to answer here the ciiarge that a street fund of $7.- ('>!)(:.2X, which was turned over to th^ city Ijy the county has lain idle in the bank, wiiile it v.as ne'eded on the stieets of the city. As a matter of fact this street fund was tied up by a resolution by the board of aldermen, introduced by a resident, of East avenue, which di rected the first street improvement to be done on J*'ast avenue. And the member who introduced the resolu tion is now opposing Mr. Hawkins election and supporting Dr. Bland. If this resolution had been carried out, before the law was changed so as to require property owners to pay for per- I manent street improvement it would After a long Avasting illness, conva-'have saved many thousands of dol- lescents require notirishin,g food that jaj-c- |q property owners of the f’w will not overtax the digestive func-j vdocks involved, but would have 1)een tions.—and in the wa.'- of a strength-| a discrimination against other sections restoring an,i vitality-making tonic, we ! of the city needing improvements as Convalescf-nts know of nothing that equals Vinol. our relicions cod liver^ and iron tonic (without oil).

He marked out many of the iiiost vital parts of the proposed regn- lati(ms. He then said the regulations as amended would be satisfactory to him and that he would recommend them to the board of aldermen. The committee of the medical society ncv- i'i- heard of it any more. ‘•.Mr. Hawkius did not 0i)i)0se the i-'ecoiiimendations of the medical so ciety, but roceiveil them very courte ously. The two members of the board of aldermen who were most conspicu ous in their oi»position to the regula tions recommended by the committee frou! the medic.'il society and most re- spon.sible for their defeat are two of the most pronounced supporters of the candidacy of l.)r. Bland.” Mr. Hawkins ha.=( always stood, and now stands, for up-to-date health laws, and should not be charged by l.)r, Mhind's supporters with being op- jiosed to health regulations, esiiecially as some of Dr. P>land strongest, advo cates tlu tiiselves were lar,gely respon- silile for the failure of the board of aldermen to adopt th^ measures pro posed by ihe medical society'. The attitude of the piiysicians of the city should be given great weicht in considering this particular matter. Out of the piiysici;:ns of the city whose attitude 1*^ known, i:? are supporting Dr. r.land and 'AZ Mr. Hawkins. 7. In their desperation, it is said that some of those opiKising Mr. Hawkins have chargiMl that he is a Catholic. It is df'plorable that a man should he attacked on religious grounds. Mr. Hawkins is a Presby terian. The thrust, evidently by some simiile-Jiiinded person, is aimed not at Mr. Hawkius in realit,v, but at a member of the ex(‘ciitive board, who.se character and standing in the com munity is as high as any man’s in it, and who, when he was ar>l)Ointed by the board of aldermen, received the vote of everv man on the board at that time who is now opposing Mr. Hawkins, and was elected unanimous ly- are some of the reasons why Mr. Hawkins is receiving the support of a large ma.iority of the ioct.ors of ihe city, 7.'. per cent of the lawyers, a ma.iority of the bankers, merchants, newspaper men, manufacturers and laboring men of all classes. Vote for Bland, the people's candi date. ‘GET IT AT HAWLEY’S.' THE TOILET TABLE OF THE WELL GROOMED WOMAN | is most carefull.v thoti,i?:ht for > and bought for at HAWLEY’S S PHARMACY.
