C- Maaweil waa chosen city " attorney to succeed Mr. John A. Mc Rae. Mr. Brevard Nixon waa the other candidate who made a rood run, . tha vote being only 11 to i agaiuot him, one man-not votm. Thia waa on of the. surprise of the meeting, it having- been widely claimed that Mr, Nixon had enough votes pledged to Incur hie -election. Mr. D. B. Smith was re-elected rec . order without dissent. Another eur , prise waa the removal of Mr. W. B. Taylor from the office of city tax --ol- lector and M. Wilson to serve in hla stead. Mr. .in. i i jii .... - --- - , : . .. . :. .. . I ' m-m.m again wovedf to adjourn and the pro ceeding were baited . for a further discission of thl motion. All the while, . Messrs. Stewart and Hender son were Urging that the balloting could not be interfered with and fin ally, somewhat riled and growing rud dy, Mr. Will la mi "got up in meeting" ani told that a caucus had been held by some of the members and the others had nobody to vote for. He asked to be excused from voting, but on the second ballot he got in it. When Mr. Williams made the declara tion, he was looking straight at Mr. Henderson, but this gentleman did not attempt to a-nswer him. The duties of the executive board, under the amended Harris charter are onerous. It will nave charge of the several depertments of the muni cipality, covering the work which has been done independently In the past by the boards of public safety, public service and health. It la an extremely Important office and demands the services of capable men, whom the aldermen think they have found. GRADED SCHOOL CLOSING.

Following the address will come the presentation of diplo mas by Dr. Francis Preston Venable, president of the I'nlverslty of North Carolina. He will probably have something of Interest to say to the graduates. On Sunday niornins, 1C. the an nual sermon will be preached by Rev. Dr. O H. Detwtler, pastor of Try on Street Methodist church, in that place. This is a reversal of the ordin ary mode of procedure, in that the Taylor is a Confederate soldier and ' Hon T w j.jL. has held the tax collector s post most capably for a number of years, being elected by succeeding administrations, BOt strictly because of his also because of his ability. sen is a young man, having been with the Long-Tate Clothing Company as A salesman for a number of years.

It was deemed best to move the date forward.

CIRCULATIXO PETTTIOX. lv.l ten votpH others falling below this number, but the race narrowed The members are Aliases Annie May down to Messrs. Murphy, Garibaldi u"ir, tuitmi mumon, n"-; Neal and Hutchison. On the third ballot Messrs. Murphy and Garibaldi each received twelve votes, and Mr. Neal 7, the two former being declar ed elected. After this work had been finished, the aldermen proceeded with little spirit of antagonism and far less feeling In naming the otner city offi cials. A CAVCrs HAD BEEN HELD. That a number of the members of the board had formed a caucus for the purpose of naming the executive board was the broad charge which Alderman E 8. Williams flung at Al derman W. I. Henderson and this was not denied. It was very evident on the first ballot that some such meet ing had been held In view of the large number of votes which were re ceived by Messrs. Murphy. Neat, Ir win, Williams and Wolfe Enough abided by the supposed agreement lo insure the election of Messrs. Wolfe, Irwin and Williams on the first count, but after that the glue gave out. The friends of Mr. Garibaldi, discovering that they were up against it, finally dropped the name of all other candi dates and voted for him alone, thus holding down bis nearest opponents while he himself made a steady as cent. " BOARD GETS INTO A MUDDLE. If the character of the first me t Ing is any Index to the spirit whlrii' will hereafter mark the proceeding of- the new administration, there ie something ahead. After being sworn' to their duty by the iwtiring mayor, I Capt. T. S. Franklin, who male a few appropriate remarks, the board was Informed by the new mayor, Mr. T. W. Hawkins, that the election of the executive hoard waa the first business of the afternoon. Straightway arose Alderman TC. S Williams with a reso lution giving the mayor the privilege of selecting the executive boar J. the reason being assigned that It would mar the opportunity of the adminis tration to have an executive commit tee not in full symapthy with the mayor, H.a resolution provided that each member of the board should sub mit five names to the mayor and from this list, h: would select then board. Alderman Menderstra disapproved of such an idea -and' Alderman Ptummer Stewart ftaad a apeeoh against ltw pro ' feseing.eJl th'whllS that h was per fectly vUlirig for -the jnayor. to, aelect the board, but thought that fie should not be asked to take this responsibil ity. Mayor Hawkins himself was op posed to such unlimited authority, fearing that such a course would arouse antagonism and he suggested that the board appoint a special com mittee to act in conjunction With htm, if such' a "course should "be adopted. . Mews. Henderson and Stewart con tinued to object profusely, deemlnf It proper and altogether within the r keeping; of propriety and the charter to enter at once into the election. Mr. A-- Mi Guillfet wanted harmony and while he thought the board ought to nominate the men. he waa willing for 1 th mayor to'strike out any name he did. not wish. A prolonged muddle followed out of which they appeared at times to be no way of escape. Motions and amendments to motions and substi tutes cam forth like lizards In the sunshine and the chairman was un able to keep any mental tab on them and th secfetary was crowded. Fin ally, Alderman Williama moved ad journment and he was informed that b was out of order. He made the' point that adjournment was always in order, but was overruled by the chair man who said that adjournment could not be taken until the specific busi ness Of the meeting bad been attend ed to. : Mtt; STEWART WIXS OUT. mond Lucas, Kate Stratton, Pearl Wilkinaon and Messrs.

Householders Who Will Open Their Homes to Guewts During- the Decla ration Celebration Will Oblige Greater Charlotte Club by Notify ing It, The list of those who will open their houses to the visitors nn the 20th of May Is gradually growing, but Is a long way short of the required number. It will not be necessary for the housekeeper to make any special preparations for this occasion. Any one -who has one spare room or more can be of great service to the commit tee by sending their names to the of fice of the, Greater Charlotte Club.

The following petition is being cir culated by members and friends of the teaching staff of the white grad ed sihoofs: To the School Commissioners: In view of the well-known fact that the salaries now paid the white teach ers in the Charlotte public schools are absolutely Insufficient to meet the necessary expenses of living, and that the city la amply able to grant the request now before the school com missioners for an Increase of aald salaries, the undersigned citizens and taxpayers aak that thla request be granted: Tills brief appeal Is being signed by hundreds and thousands of citizens and taxpayers who .eel that their teachers, while rendering perhaps the most valuable service of any employes of the public, rank near the bottom In the amount of compensation re ceived.
