Alder man, Ward-came first with the report of trie committee consisting of Alder men Smith,' Bates and himself, rela tive to the advisability of opening up West First street from Mint to, Cedar streets. This special committee, af ter looking over the ground and In' veatlgatlng the situation thoroughly, reported In favor of tha proposed work, Mirglng that the city open up this street to a width of 60 feet and that the Southern Railway Company be required to build and maintain subways of approved pattern and de sign over the crossings of West First street and the railroad tracks. After discussion, the report was adopted and an ordinance embodying these provisions enacted. Alderman Krueger and Mr. Hugh W. Harris, city attorney, were dele gated a special committee to confer with Mr. J. R. Winchester, .late meat and milk Inspector, to see - If they could not adjust the differences which have been existing between the: two for the paat several months. The fol lowing report was submitted: "we have conferred with Mr. J. R. Win Chester with reference to an adjust- ment'of his claims on the. position of rooo inspector ana nave iouna mm willing to relinquish his claims If given employment In some other de partment. And, after conference wun Mr. S. J. Asbury. chairman of ' tha board of building Inspection, and Cot A. It.

The re port waa signed by the two committee men and was adopted. "A FALLING OJTF'OF; DOGS, i A little humor waa Injected into the meeting when Mr. Krueger, chair man of tha finance . committee, re ported that only 102 dog tags had been sold this year aa against 770 last year. Ha could not account for the discrepancy and several of the aldermen attempted to,, throw a little light upon the "dog-gone" subject. Mayor MoNtnch suggested " . that It might be well for the 'board to ap point Mr. Winchester "dog-catcher" Instead of special building Inspector, as provided In Mr. Krueger's previous report After a rather scattering aia cuasion, half ihtarnest and. half In fun, the matter was deferred to, the next meeting. T '. Dr. Fatson reported that he had visited the plant of the Standard Ice tk Fuel Company and had had a very satisfactory conference with Mr, W. J. Hagood, the general manager. While water had been taken from the old mine shaft ln the put- Dr. Nalaon stated that Mr. Hagood had discon tinued its use and In the future would use only city water.

Perhaps the most interesting report Of the evening waa that of Dr. Adam Fisher, city meat and milk Inspec tor. In prefacing hla report, Pr: Fisher stated that he had finlibed testing all of the larger herds of 'tows and had had but little difficulty In getting the dairymen to make changes whenever necessary.' "Every dairy man that I have had anything to aa with so far has been eager and anx loua," declared Dr. Fisher, "to comply with, the regulations of the ordinance. They have needed only to be shown.

To prevent actual bloodshed and the - possible dynamiting of school property, some of the best cltlsens of Abbeville took a hand lit: what they feared was a grave situation and as a result Harbison College, at Abbe ville, Is closed and tha president of tha institution has - gone to other climes. From what little ' can be learned here the notice of ths actual resignation of the president wss re ceived to-day, It is a somewhat long story, the dealls of which are not all relevant Harbison College has been in a flourishing condition In Abbeville for soms time. It gets lts-4 money largely through the Northern Presbyterian Church and all of Its money comes from the North for the education of the colored youth. It la. co-educatlonal, or rather It was. Boys and girls have been going to the ' so-called college for soma time. Thomas H. Amos is a Northern colored man. He la apparently a man of education and was picked up from the North by the friends of the coilere. from the ranks of the colored people, to be placed at the head of Harbison. He was there for some time. AMOS. TALKED TOO MUCH. Amos seems to have been talking too much. At least be Is given credit for too much talk. The trouble which has Just culminated In bta forced resignation was a state ment he Is alleged to have made to the graduating class at the close of the college last spring. He la al leged to have told the classes then that the conduct of the colored race so far had brought the white women to the kitchen and. If they kept up the good work of Independence, It would bring ttlem to the wash-tub also. He hoped that none of his graduates would work for white peo ple ln subordinate or menial ca pacltles. This seems to have started the trouble and feeling against Preel dent Amos and the feeling has been growing. The report la that there was a clash or almost one on the occaalon of the unveiling of the Con federate monument at Abbeville, which appears to have brought mat ters to somewhat of a crisis. Mr. George White, a well-known livery stable man and ' substantial cltlsen. was attacked and this wss followed by many of the white cttlxena getting themselves ready for trouble. It Is said that many of the best clttxens purchased supplies of rifles and am munition. TOLD PRESIDENT TO LEAVE. '' In these circumstances and 1n order to prevent bloodshed and tha dyna mltlng of the college property, which had been threatened, about a score of the cooler heada got together and appointed a committee of three. which waited on Amos snd told him that while they came to him with no threats, they wanted to strongly advise him that It would be best for him, the college and the community If he would resign and leave the State, otherwise they could not assume re sponsibility for his safety or the pro tection of the college property. He denied the statement charged to him, but thanked the committee for com ing to him and advising him. ' He said ' he did not want to precipitate any trouble and waa glad to get away. He left Abbeville for Baltimore and Is supposed to be there now. The notice of his resignation was received to-day and a request was made that one of the board of dl rectors or the college be given a hearing 1n the hope of establishing a better feeling.. It Is understood, that the sentiment of many of the people of Abbeville Is that Northern aid be withdrawn from Harbison College. because It Is believed If this Is done and the Northern Presbyterian Church withdraws Its aid the college wilt go Into decadence and close Its doors for the class ybf work It has been doing.
