It was during this secret affair.
Mayor Franklin did take a shot or

enacted and -I'll be frank enough to

try to force any such law upon the

matton it meant for drivers to keep
on the rlRht sidp of the streets ho
as to have uniformity in moving
along the thoroughfare, all vehicles
going In the same direction being
forced to take the same side of the
etreet. Mr. Page thought the same
thing. Captatn Robertson said this
' was the way It worked on Broadway,
but Mayor Tranklln said he had
driven In Washington and New York
both and had never been requested
to obey any such regulation.
The report of the fire department
showed five alarms during the month

The chairman of the plumbing
committee reported that tho Y. M.

spection, but the board thought that
j this was an unreasonable request, as
this was not a charitable Institution.
An opinion was read by a special
committee from City Attorney John
A.' McRae in which he stated that
the request from Mr. W. H. Charles,
ex-flreman, for hospital costs, should
not bs rranted. He thoueht that the

Thursday afternoon with lialtlfnore
and which lasted 42 minutes. Mr.
Register protested against paying tho
bill when It was presented him, de
daring that he engaged the tele
phone to talk but three minutes and
.contending that the exchange, girl
should have notified him when his
time was out.
Not so, thought the court, which

dence that he asked the price for a
.three minutes' conversation with a
friend In Baltimore. He was told
that the Bell people would charge
him 12.50 for this privilege and he
put the money In the slot and got the
conversation. Not being halted when
his time was up. he kept a-talkin'
.until he had used up 4 2 minutes In

lUwrtler.
One of the matters likely to be dis
cussed at the meeting Monday of the
board of county commissioners will
be the proposition of a new Jail or
repairs to the present one. At the
last two terms of court the grand
Jury recommended Hint a new ami
more commodious building be erected
In addition lo this, there has been
much talk along this line on the part
of substantial and conservative citi
zens who believe that now Is the time
for action. Hence the likelihood of
tn'" ,nmitor. "',n seriously considored
at Monday's meeting.
Chairman V. M. Ing expressed
hlmseflj yesterday in favor of granting
added Jurisdiction tn the recorder In
order that so many petty larceny and
wnissey cases may te disposed of In
the city court Instead of being sent
up to Superior Court, thus forcing
the county not only to support the
prisoners In the meantime, but to
bear the cost of the trial afterwards.
He stated that If such power were
given the recorder and the magis
trates of the county, too, for that
matter that the present Jail would
be ample for all demands that might
be made upon It. He cited the records
of the court to show the burden which
the limited jurisdiction of the recorder
has Imposed upon It. Mr. Long Is
of the opinion that a new Jail, such
as would have to be erected should
the county decide to build one, would
cost from $0.000 to $100,000. He Is
ready and willing, as is also the board
for that matter, to do whatever Is
rgnt and proper and what Is reallv

hence any declaration of purposes and
plans would be out of place. As to
thfc reports that the board had se
cured options for a site for a Jail wore
accessible to the county court house,
Mr. Iong declared that there was
nothing whatever to them, for the
board had never taken any steps In
this direction.
O, O. P. CONVEVTIOX TO-DAY.
Republicans Will Kqulp Tliclr King
Arthurs and bend Them Into the
Usts To-Uay,
This day has been sot apart .for
the convention of the Republicans
of Mecklenburg county and from the
movements of the leaders, one Is led
to believe that the gathering will be
of exceptional Interest. It is firmly
declared that the Republicans will
not try to make a clean sweep of
county offices :thls fall, but are de
termined to wrest fronl the Democrats
some of the slices of pie.
Finding, with little trouble, too,
that so much dissatisfaction exists In
the county over the present publlo
sehool arrangement, and chiefly the
superintendent! the members of the
P. O. P. are going to concentrate
their forces In ordr to get represen
tation on the board of education.
They believe that many dissatisfied
Democrats Will join with them In an
effort to elect candidates for places
on this board.
It is proposed to send Into the
lists well-known Democrats to run
Independently and give them the sup
port of the Republican party of the
county. The nameiof the proposed
candidates . have not been divulged.
They are looking for men of strength
and popularity and who are sure to
be elected with the combination of
dissatisfied Democratic voters and
full Republican strength.
Mr. W. W. Haywood. It is said,
has been approached on the subject
of taking the field as a candidate
for the Legislature, but -he declines
the honor and the names Of those
who are being held in reserve are
not known.
The Republicans claim that there
grs many Democrats In Mecklenburg
who ire going to vote with them on
the presidential ticket, and they are
pulling for increased power In the
county. -To this end they will put
candidstea In the fleld for the sev
eral offices gradually, seeking to lay
their foundations well. A number of
the offices at present held by the
Democrats will. It is declared, go
unchallenged in this election..
