Rumor That Mayor White Would
Run Prove3 to be a "Ho-ax".
It was stated in Mor. day's Rob
esonian that it was "uorated"
about on the streets that Mayor
White had finally yielded to the
strong pressure that nad been
brought to bear on him and had
decided to be a candidate for the
office again, but that Mr. White
had not authorized the paper to
state that he.was in the race. That
created some excitement in local
political circles and put some of
the boys on their toes and it de
velops that it was for that pur
pose alone that the report was
circulated just to have a little
fun and to put some of the boys
to guessing, which the same it
did. There was nothing to it
more than that. Mr. White says
he has no idea of being in the
race, so the situation remains the
same, with only Messrs. W. O.
Thompson and A. P. Caldwell in
the race.
Messrs. S. H. Hamilton and H.
C. Freeman have been mention
ed for commissioners to succeed
two of the three whose terms expire.

To Improve Conditions at Sea
board Station A Park Pro
posed. Steps are being taken to drain
and beautify the rather unsight
ly low and swampy place at the
Seaboard station between the
tracks and the brick building on
Elm street, around and near the
artesian well. This can be made
a beautiful place with a little ex
penditure of money. It is un
derstood that the Seaboard au
thorities have agreed to put in
tiling, which is to be furnished
by the town, and has also agreed
to bear half the expense of put
ting down concrete steps to the
artesian well at this place and a1
concrete basin around the well.
Mr. Ira Mullis, civil engineer,
has kindly offered to give his i
services in having this work done !
free of rharge. The street and J
ranroau committee oi tne civic
association, with the presi
dent, Mrs. R" D. Caldwell, had
this matter up yesterday after
noon with Mr. Mullis. It
is understood that a majority
of the town commissioners
are in favor of paying for
half the expense of making a
park at this place and an effort
will be made to get the railroad
company to bear half the ex
pense. It could be made a very
pretty place indeed.
There are also some unsanitary
and unlovely conditions at the
station on the other side of the
depot from the well, also at the
Virginia & Carolina Southern
depot, that the civic association
will try to have improved in the
near future.
