W S S WASHING STREETS SUGGESTED Best and Quickest Way to Get Rid of Dust, Especialry in the Business Section of the City. ' A prominent citizen, who evidently along with the rest of us got his eyes full of dust today, has suggested that it would be a splendid idea of the city would flush the streets, especially in the business section in order to get rid of the dust which is now fearful, especially when a gasoline buggy goes whirling by or a gust of wind blows up. The dust is bad from the dirt carried in on the paved streets during the snow and mud, and this citizen states that inasmuch as the city owns the streets and pavements, the house and the water plant and wa ter and haa the men for thia work it could be done at practically no cost, in fact less expense than sweeping them, and that it would be a fine idea to put into effect. And he'a about right MADE AT SPENCER Dr. Louis A. Banks, of Boston, the Noted Lecturer, Speaks to a Crowded Auditorium. LADIES OF BAPTIST CHURCH ! ORGANIZE A Y. W. C. A. Spencer Basket Ball Team Goes to Winston-Salem For a Game With Twin City Team. (By A. W. Hicks.) Spencer, Fob. 8 Before a crowd ed house at the school auditorium Wednesday night Dr. Louis A. Banks, of Boston, delivered one of the strongest prohibition addresses heard here for years and his discourse had a telling effect. He appeared here under the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League of Amei ica and his address was ' one of several hundred of a similiar nature being delivered throughout the country. In the course of his discourse Dr. Banks brought out a vast amount of information on prohibition, its effect on the country, its bearing upon the war, upon food conservation, freight movement and declared that the object of the Anti Saloon League is to divorce the Unit ed States from the liquor business. He asserted that it now takes more cars to carry the liquor and liquor pro ducts than are needed to tide over the war emergency. He declared that the waste of food and raw materal for foods must stop. He says that the fight is on to a (finish and made a i plea for a whole-heartes support. He showed that liquor is a great hind rance to the army and believes that this is an opportune time to rid the whole country of the nuiBance. Dr. Banks is an adept in his line and stated that he has made more than two prohibition speeches each week for 45 years, that this is no new fight for him, and at the con clusion of his address received sub scriptions ajyd membership pledges from a large number of Spencerians who des'fe to support the cause. In connection with the coming of Dr. Banks, a voting contest was held aa to the most popular teacher or class room in the Spencer school. By a count of the votes it was found that the fifth grade, taught by Miss Estell Brown, had won by a handsome ma jority. Dr Banks presented Miss Brown with a large U. S. flag which was graciously received. The meeting was presided over by Mayor Burton and a number of other citizens also took part in the event. The Y. W. C. A. of Spencer Baptist church was organized Tuesday night at the parsonage with the following officers: j President Miss Elsie Andrews. V-Presidemt Miss Pearl Benton. Secretary Miss Thelma Arm strong.

When the police committee's re port was read the question of dis pensing with the services of Officer Beaver on Chestnut Hill was brought up and after a little discussion it was voted to dispense with the same. Chief of Police Miller -presented a letter from the Xallassee Power Com pany at Badin in which he was offer ed a position there at a salary of $135 a month and fees. He did not want to leave Salisbury but thought the offer a good one and left the mat ier with the members of the board Chairman Ludwick of the police com mittee took occasion to praise Chief Miller's work here, saying he had things in better control than they had ever been and he thought the head of the police force worth ' as much to Salisbury as he would be to Badin and a motion to increase his salary from $115 to $150 carried. The question of raising the pay of other officers and of the firemen on permanent duty at the city hall -was broached but in the absence of the charman of the hnanc commttee this matter went over. The mayor brought the attention of the board to the fact that a num ber of prisoners had recently escap ed from the city lock-up and stated that if the place was unsafe it should be made safe. Chief Miller stated that several of these escapes had been effected by means of iron bars handed the prisoners from the rear, which is exposed and suggest ed that a high fence with barbed wire protection around the top be built around the rear of the prison. He said whenever he had a prisoner of importance he did not risk the . city prison but placed him in jail. Noth ing definite was done but this will receive further attention at the next meeting. It was voted to purchase new mat tresses and comforts for the beds in the city prison cells. The question of continuing the quarantine against Camp Greene Charlotte was mentioned, the first quarantine having expired last night Mayor Woodson said this would be a matter for the county health board, which wowld probably meet today tc consider the matter. Chief Miller stated, in this connection, that a number of Camp Greene soldiers came to Salisbury last night, and that he instructed his officers to or der them to return to Charlotte at once or arrest them. They chose the former course. ' A letter from the sUGRja&ranee commissioner was read by City En gineer Webb in which the matter of tire escapes on certain buildings at Livingstone college was mentioned and also that doors in certain build ings be swung outward. It was or dered that President Suggs of the col lege be notified to have changes made. Alderman Crowder reported that with favorable weather the West Ward school would be ready for oc cupancy bv March'lst and it was the sense of the board that it be occu pied for school purposes aa soon as possible.

' - W.SS Chairman R. A. Morrow, of Union county, is doing some fine newspaper advertising and the space is being do nated by advertisers and the papers.
