Butler will open": the ainti-amendment earn paign in 'WUmtniton,and that Senator Pritchard will have hia "grand" open ing" in Rockingham. ; The object in riew is so plain that every intelligent man will see it at a glance. Wilming ton and Bxhmond county have been selected because the Dockeryites claim that they, were; the storm-centers ' of Democratic " activity Lin 11838; .and Pritchard and Butler are sent into this congressional district in the hope that they will be notified that they will not be allowed to apeak; or, f they do at tempt to speak, that the meetings will be broken up by the Democratic "red shirts." The Stab hopes and believes that their attempt to manufacture capital will prove a disastrous failure. Let Butler and Pritchard, twin broth ers of tegro rule, speak until they hoarse. Certainly ' in Wilmington, Butler cannot jchange a single vote. Nor does he expect to do this. He hopes that he will not be allowed to speak. But, contemptible as he is, or should be, in the estimation of every decent white man in ( North Carolina, -tnere should be no attempt made to intefere with hia meeting. Let him severely alone. . ;!

King, Cattle Weigber George Irvin, Superintendent of Health Dr. W. D. McMillan, Chief of Police Parmele and Chief of Fire Department Charles Schnibben. Reports of ' committees were called for, and under this head Alderman Worth of the Finance Committee, re nptd that the bills lor the improve ments to the City Hall ana vpem House had been approved. k Sewerage System. Alderman Worth, who had been ap pointed a special committee to investi gate and report suggestions as to a sewerage system, also made a report in that connection. He stated that the plans for a sanitary sewerage system, prepared eight years ago by Mr. Bu dolph Herring, the eminent sanitary engineer of Philadelphia, had been found, but no specifications could be rniind on v where. uorresponuenco with Mr. Herring elicited the informa tion that no detailed specifications had been prepared and if they hfcd, such specifications would be valueless now, owing to the lapse of time since the plans were made. Alderman Worth stated tnat only an engineer would understand the plans, but that they mhnid a system covering the entire city from the river to Bellevue ceme tery and from Hilton to the extreme southern part of the city. In discussing the Herring plans, Alderman Worth suggested that they covered an area which it would noi be necessary to cover for sanitary purposes, and which would be be yond the financial ability of the city. He also stated that to put in a sewer age system there might be some diffi culty in taking away the privileges granted to persons and corporations who have built private sewers. Just what to do with them would be a question. He also discussed the neces sity of providing compulsory connec tion with the proposed sewerage sys tem, also compulsory water cOnneo i . at, tion, and other necessary cuuuv cies to make a sewerage system a suc cess. ' Tne board was informed by Alder man Worth that he was prepared to say that all the capital necessary to construct the system could do naa u the board would agree upon a plan and specifications. He stated that the next step would be to have the Her ring plans revised, or steps taken to v.... n.w nlana made. This would cost from $100 to $150 to start with. Having laid the facts be tore tne ooara he stated that he left the matter in its hands, and asked to be relieved from further duty in this connection, int.. jiMiHiimi a motion was of- fered by Alderman Springer, with an amendment by Alderman Hanby authorising the Mayor to appoint a committee o five to secure plans for a sewerage system and appropriating $150 or as much thereof as may be necessary to take the preliminary steps. The motion was adopted, j In a further diseussion of sewerage, Alderman Springer said as one of the owners, with Mr. B. G. Worth, of a : . .ao,- hn Hid not think there unv.w "nv., would be any difficulty with the own ers of private sewers. Mayor Waddell, gave it as his opinion, as a lawyer, that no franchise heretofore granted by the board to sewerage corporations, could take away the right ofjbemuni cipailty. The city.be said, would have the power to annal conflicting fran chises or build a sewerage system in dependent of any now existing. Rosd Baldlo. Among the important business transacted by the board, was favorable action upon the recommendation of Alderman McBae, of the Streets and ! TX7v,..H nommittee. as to the pur chase of a rock crusher and a roller, with which to macadamise the streets. On motion, Alderman MacBae was au- ihorlied to sign a contract wun jux. p .
