that said meeting be adjourned. Hla
motion was promptly seconded by the

the women . were there to rote. The
motion for adjournment was Voted
down. Then Mrs. Blntch . srose tc
"We women are 'taxpayer* In this

I. exercise It. I more that the appro
priation for the new school house
shall not exceed $ 1,500."
la this district there are only pine
children, and the men wished to rote
an appropriation of at least $2,700
.to erect a school .building for them.
They proposed this amount after Mrs.
Blatch had offered her motion, and
discussion waxed fast and furious.
"I believe In our children having

those contracts,", retorted one of the
women. "If the money Is honestly

The result was * foregone conclus

Charlotte, N. C? June 8. ? Conster
nation has been created among the
doien or aa re cluba of the city, alt
of which were Indicted by the grand
Jury in February for violation of the
prohibition law, when Judge George
P. Pell, recently appointed to the
bench, Imposed a fine of four hundred
dollars on the Buslnsaa Men's Club
today, following a submission to the
charge by the club through Mr.
Plummer Stewart, bis attorney.
1 It had been predicted that theee
cases would never amount to much
by not a few cltlsena here, while oth
ers were inclined to await develop
ments. Today's stand taken by the
court consequently has stirred up the
other clubs indicted and the opera
tion of the locker system will be
guarded with exceedingly careful
watchfulness In order to avoid any
infractions of the law. Aa the club
fined today will hardly be able to
raise one-half the amount of the fine,
as a corporation. It being such, the
situation Is.a peculiar. one. and prom
ises Interesting developments. The
court ordered Immediate Issuance of
execution for the collection of the
money, and how this fine will be paid
is the question that the public is
speculating upon.

building, where lumber was stored.
The jthool gongs were sounded for
the flreSirill. Instantly each child
dropped books, fell into line and
hustled for the stairs? rapidly, but
in perfect order. In 50 seconds every
child in both buildings wrb out on
the sidewalk, still In line and in or
der. When the firemen arrived the
children were marching away from
the building. The quick work of fire
