The meeting of last Friday night was to have settled the matter, and Alder man E L. Mason introduced an ordl- nace-resolutlon intended to meet the requirements, but. as It did not cover the license feature, it was unsatisfac tory to a part of the board and the ordinance committee retired with the city attorney to draw up an ordinance, covering all the ground. The lommlttee had not returned when the board adjourned and hence the necessity of meeting tonight. Alderman to Be Elected. Another matter of interest that is expected to come up tonight is tha election of an alderman from Ward 3 to succeed Mr. F. O. Landis, who rec ently removed from that ward. This matter also was scheduled for the last Tneetlng, Mr. Landis himself bein» present to formally tender his reslf- natlon. At precipitate adjournmen when only 1 member& were in the room prevented consideration of the mat ter. It Is to be hoped for the good ofthe city that the board will proceed with its business, and not adjourn because one side or the other w’ho wants a cer tain man as alderman to succeed Mr. Landis, feasr to have the election un less such and such a man 1» absent, or present. The city’s business is being detain ed by this kind of priitlcs. Let the paving matter be settled so the permanent Improvements can be started. Farmers Are Stor- mg Theii Cotton Fatrms Unm Localscf Corn ing Stof, Sharon, Amity and Carmel Placed 1S.8 Baks of Cotton tn the Warehouse 7ch day. Kepresentatlves from the three Farmers’ Unions of Carmel. Amity ahd Sharon brought 58 bales of cot ton to thee Ity this morning, but not a bale of it was placed on the mark et. Instead it was driven through In dependence Square Into North Tryon street and on to the Farmers’ Union Warehouse out near the Swift Manu facturing Company’s plant. The star local of Morning Star township, however, went their fellow locals one better by bringing to the city 100 bales today, and all for the warehouse. The cotton from the star local had not jeach^d tba city at 2 o’clock, but ’phone message frofli Matthews stated that an Imposing procession of wagons bearing 100 bales had already passed there on their way to the warehouse. All of It was for the warehouse and none tor the market, it was stated. These two demonstrations are evi dence of the fact expressed deter mination of the farmers not to sell their cotton at the urice now prevail ing. They are heeding the call of cotton experts to farmers to hold their cotton, with the assurance that thep rice will begin to rise before long. It has not ’oeen a month since the Almty, Carmel and Sharon locals brought 100 bales to the warahouse her* in one day, which together with that today makes 158 bales, rep resentatives of th* three unions have In the warehouse to stay until a higher price prevails. ' The contribution of the Star local to the warehouse is uniQue in that the entire hundred bales comes from the on# local union, indicating that there are a good many farmers in that section of the county who are able lo hold their cotton. All farmers who composed this not- ready-to-sell line-up are from the southern end of the county, and con stitute a substantial and progressive citizenship. v Found Dead Drunk Actoss Car Track J. E.
