City Attorney Hart sell is prepar ing a new Citv Cotle which will eon tarn all the ordinances of the city. and has the work well under way. It is now being printed at The Times of fice and more than 100 pages are com pleted. The Board of Aldermen met last night to go over the different or dinances and review the work. The city fathers intend to repeal all the so called "dead" ordinances on toe books and there are also a number of changes under consideration by them in regard to different ordinances. When this work is completed all the laws of the. city will be in a compact form and will no doubt prove of great benefit to the city aldermen, the city officials and the public generally. The board completed a large part of this work last night, but it will take some time before all of the changes can be definitely made. There -were also a few other mat ters that came up for their consider ation and the following are some of the matters disposed of at last night s meeting : The ordinance recently passed by the board, governing bill posting in the city limits, was suspended until the next regular meeting. The board appropriated $150.00 to defray the expenses of the Fire De partment to the lnemem a Tourna ment, which meets this year in New- bern.

Asheville Gazette News. Waynesville wins the chautauqua or general assembly of tlio Methodist Episcopal Church, South. This was the final i cision last night, at Chat tanoga, of the coiaittee of the Laymen's movement of the entho Southern Methodist Church. This decision meaas the expendi ture of a quarter of a million dollars in equippuig this oxto.nsive enterprise.

The grounds selected for the chau tauqua or general asecmblv are local ed two miles north of Waynesville, and near Tuscola, on the Murph vision of the Southern. These grounds consist of 1000 acres of land lying beautifully (for the purposes proposed comprising handsome foothills of the Junaluska subrange of the Balsam mountains. The lake will be a lovely one, "the most beautiful lake in America," says Bishop James Atkins, the father and principal promoter of the chautauqua scheme for Waynesville, and to whose efficient and untiring efforts no doubt Waynesville is most largely indebted for success. This beautiful body of water will be three-fourths of a mile in 'width at its widest point, and one and one- half miles in length will cover 200 acres and will nave a shore line of five or six miles around whioh will be made a beautiful boulevard. An electric railway will also he built around the lake, and extended two miles to Waynesvile, and doubt less also in the near future to Ashe ville via Clyde, Canton and Leices ter. An auditorium will be erected for the accommodation of the large crowds that will attend the great lec tures to be delivered there by many of the church's biggest and brainiest pulpit and platform orators. This assembly or chautauqua will represent the 2,000,000 of Southern Methodists in 20 to 25 of the United States of America. Gas-Eelectric Can Will be Used by Southern.
