UOBE BEVENDE FOR CITY
Act . of Last Legislature Requires
County to Pay Costs In All Cases
Where Defendants Are eSn
tenced to the Roads.
Mayor' William E.' Springer yester
day had a occf erence with- Chairman
D. ilcEacherns cC the Comxtjr Oammis
eloners, with reference to the act pass
ed at the late ieession oft the Legishv
tore Tetjuiring the ooomty to pay all
oosta In cases of prisoners sent by
magistrates to the county roads or
bound orer to the Superior Court and
subsequently eent to the chain gang.
For years the bulk of the convicts at
work on the county roads have come
from the Mayor's court, either direct
ly or indirectly, and the city has ndt
received one cent of revenue from
these casea. Under the terms of the
new act the county is required, to pay
the, costs of all such cases to the mag
istrate sending the case over. The
Mayor is exofScto a magistrate in his
capacity of presiding officer of the
police court and hereafter these costs
will be paid through Mayor Springer
Into the city treasury.
It ia conservatively estimated that
De additional revenue the city will
receive from this source will be 1,-
Uqa or 11.500 oer year. On account
Cf the fines and forfeitures paid into
jto maintain the police force and bear
tie expenses of reeding tne pnson-
ero etc, under the new law, the po
see court win be nearer a eeil-sus-
taining institutioni at least so far as
the municipality la concerned.
At the conference yesterday Chair
man McEachern told the Mayor he
would cheerfully pay to the city the
amount of costs in each case sent to
the roads or to the higher court and
the fees are very definitely set out in
the act, making from $3 to $4 in each
case go disposed of.

est to a great many friends mot only
in- this city 'but elsewhere throughout
the State. While the marriage cere
mony proper was witnessed only by
the relatives and Intimate friends of
the young people to the anarriage vow,
a large number of other friends were
received at an elegant reception which
followed until 7 o'clock when the
bride and groom left on the north
bound Atlantic Coast Line train for
their home in Winston-Salem, a bridal
tour having been necessarily deferred
on account of a pressing business en
gagement of the groom, who is editor
of the Winston-Salem Journal.
The parlors of , th Charles-Craft
home were most attractively decorat
ed for the occasion, the prevailing
colors halving been green and white.
A charming effect , waa reached in
graceful festoons of ivy fromi the four
corners of the celling converging at
the chandelier in centre, while at the
base of a perfect bower of palms,
ferns and flowers at am advantageous
position in the room was a beautifully
Improvised altar where the couple
plighted their troth each to the other.
On each side of the parlor was a pyra
mid of candles In handsomely polished
candelabra, shedding a soft glow over
as pretty a wedding scene aa was
ever witnessed in this city. Miss
Cannie Chasten presided at the piano
and the skilful jexecution. of, a. bridal
chorus from Lohengrin heralded the
app reach of the wedding party.'- The
bride entered with her father by whom
she was given away in a beautiful
ring service and sfte was attended as
maid of honor by her friend, Miss
Mitchell Wad dill, of Carthage, who
was charmingly attired in pink liber
ty satin and carried pink roses. The
groom was attended as best man by
his friend, Mr. Henry A. Page, Jr., of
Aberdeen, and these were the only
members of the bridal party, though a
number of Miss Charles-Craft's friends
in schicol were present aa special
guests.
When the party had formed the en
serable at the altar the bride's pastor,
the Rev. N. M. Watson, of Grace
Methodist Episcopal Church, spoke
the solemn words that made them
man and wife while Miss Chasten play
ed softly with beautiful effect
"Traumerei." The service over, the
strains of the ever popular Mendels
sohn's Wedding March filled the rtcom
and Mr. and Mrs. Lucas were shower
ed with the happy felicitations of the
friends assembled. The bride wore
white crepe de chflne trimmed with
pearls and lace and was pretty indeed,
the marriage scene (having been a
veritable picture of beauty.
Following the cereanjony the recep
tion began in the handsomely appoint
ed rooms of the home. In the parlors

and Mrs. Archibald Charles-Craft, par
ents of the bride; Mrs. Monte Lucas,
of Charlotte, mother of the groom; Mr.

pointed to examine the applications ,.
and see that all were . in due form -be-"

Land the City Attorney and that 60 of ,
the number had been . found in .due

proved. Alderman Northrop .at the
conclusion of the reading, said -that
during the afternoon some ; objection ,
had developed to granting license for
a saloon at Seventh ; and -Market
streets, now kept by Mr. Brunjes but , t
he had informed the " complainants X
that they were too late.J However. . he
said he would give 'notice that the V v
next time he would vote. against the -
granting of a license .here. The ob- " ,'
jection was not to the applicant, but" ' i
to the location. . .
Mr. O'Brien- said that all the II- 1 r
censes were granted on conditfon"that.J--:.v-'(.'v:i
the business be conducted in a, quiet V
and orderly manner, according to' law.' v . ;
He saw no grounds for objection, and
moved tha the applications be grant v J- s'
ed as a whole. ' ' - - r
Mr.. Wood asked the City Attorney if '
there was not a law against granting
a license for a saloon within 200 . feet
of a church. City Attorney Bellamy
replied that a law was: passed by the
last Legislature making . the granting ' v
of such licenses discretionary with ' - v
the Board, but that New Hanover
county was exempted from the opera-: r j
tion of the law. He thought the law
a proper one and would like to "have ;
an expression of the Board; - No mem i
ber desired to express himself .on the -tf-subject.

Mr. Wood next made a suggestion;
later incorporating it into a motion:
which failed to receive a second, that .
the licenses be granted provided that ' i
all saloons be closed at 9 o'clock at i
night and not "be re-opened until; 7
o'clock . in the morning. Mr. Wood
said a good - many - people had been . , ,
after him for the further restriction " r
of saloons in this , respect and ,he 'V .
would press the matter in the shape of ?.
a motion. 'There was no second of Mr.
Wood's motion and the motion by Mr
O'Brien to grant the licenses was car- 1
rled; Mr. Wood voted with some' en-
thuslasm in the negative, rising" in
doing, so. - 1 - - " - - , '
