12 THE CHABLOTTT? KKWS, JUNE 15 1911 Executive Board Met Last Night Rejected Proposition for Or- namenial Lighting System— Citizens Oppose Bitulithic Between Southetn Station and Cedar Street. Mr. George A. Miller appeared be fore the olt\ executive board last nipht with a proposition to iustall a system of ornainental lights along the niaii> thoroughfares of tiie city. He put hia proixjsition before the board of aldermen at their last meeting and iho matter was referred to the execu tive board with power to act. Hence hip appearing before that board last night. His proposal vrus that the property nnners along the line of the proposed pystcni p;;y for the posts which are to be esiablifihed on each sidewalk SO feet apart and which are to have sev eral lights on each post. The lights are of a very superior kind, it is said, and have been Installed in many of The larger cities. By the terms of the proposition the only expense to the municipality is to provide power for The lamps at a >early rate of $45 per post. i'O posts to be erected at the ptart. After Mr. Miller had stated his pro position to the board. Mr. A. V. Har- rill, manager of the Charlotte Power Co.. niadi^ n staienient exprei>sing the ilMmrnch.' of the SvUithern Power Co. Millions Of Folks Use Only ‘Cascarets’ They never have Headache, Bilioue- ness, Sluggish, Inactive Bowels or a Bad Stomach to make them miserable. A million boxes a month. That’s the sale Cascart'ts. And every tab let ip every box means a day of good cheer. , Think what a world of happiness this candy laxative has brought to men and women—a1°r' the children. Are you getting your ,>h.ire? Cascarets ctiro bowel troubles when they have developed, l^ut that is the least of their uses. Their best service Is to prevent the many ills that come from inactive bowels. Think of the days when you are not at your best. The mornings when you don’t feel right, the afternoons when you are lop>. the evenings when you are ir ritable. The cause lies in the bow els. One Cascaret makes everything different. Don't say “I’ll take it to night.” Take it at once. Carry a box in your pocket. The hours before bedtime are too good to be wasted. Cascarets are gentle and pleasant. Their action is as natural as the ac tion of fruit on the bowels. They are sold by all druggists at 10 cents per box. Oiling the Stieets-- Mi. McBee's Work Mr. J.

The change is irritatingly ap parent to any one who has occasion to get near the sweepers-, and it is a relapse into a barbaric practice that would not for a day be tolerated by city officials keenly alive to the teach- ings of sanitary science. ’’Dry sweeping has been unquali fiedly condemned by sanitarians be cause it raises clouds of filthy and disease-causing dus-t. There is no ex cuse for it when the temperature is above freezing. Yet it persists. Why? “Such a method of street cleaning indicates either stupidity or culpa ble neglect by those in charge of the work. For the credit of his adminis- t^tion as well as for public relief Mayor Harrison should stop it at once.” Mr, Wiley *s Funeral- Honored by His Cat^p The fiineral services of Mr. Wil liam J.
