Some of the offi cers were appointed one month ago and some were appointed or elected Wednesday night by the commission ers after , a historic struggle of one month in an effort to fill these offices The list is composed of democrats altogether, and while the three repub lican commissioners., did not contend for the appointment' of republicans for some of these offices, their posi tion with reference to those to fill some of the offices and their salaries gave occasion for considerable politi cal caucusing and discussion. The Manager Plan Abandoned. The Democrat recently reviewed the efforts on the part of a number of democrats to have Preston P .Patton appointed city ihanager to succeed George W. Justice. '.The commission ers believed In the efficacy of this plan of government but couldn't agree on the man to .fill the position and then the titanic struggle began. The commissioners made various efforts' to elect the1 appointive officers, but "they couldn't agree on the men to "fill 'the principal offices. The matter dragged along until Wednesday night, when it would be either election by the board or appointment by the mayor under power of the charter. Onlookers Enjoyed Struggle. The balloting battle Wednesday night was quite a feast of amusement shared by a number of political ban quetters until about 12 o'clock at night, the program being interspersed by short pointed talks, curt remarks and insinuations by different members of the board. " ; Of course it was all cut and dried, but there was . sufficient originality injected at times to make the pro ceedings quite Interesting. Republicans Wanted Ballot Mayor C. E. ' Brooks opened up by explaining that he had failed to have the appointments ready to announce, but would make them known on the following morning. K. G. Morris, in sisted upon -another effort at election and the battle of ballots began with the democratic commissioners voting together and the republicans of ono accord, the mayor breaking the tie in nearly every instance. Mr. Morris insisted upon fixing sal aries before electing officers. The democrats voted down the bus iness manager plan of government. t Brownlow Jackson nominated W. F. Edwards at $750 for tax collector and J. W. Bailey nominated J. W. McCar- j son at $900. Three democrats voted for Mr. McCarson, two republicans for Mr. Edwards and one republican for George Liverett Mayor Brooks broke the deadlock by appointing Mr. Mc Carson after two ballots had been taken. -! 4 Would Reduce the Force. Mr. Morris said that he thought two policemen instead offour should be elected. Mr. Jackson moved that two be elected for the whole year and an extra one until September 15. " Mr. Morris saidthat he knew two police men who would agree to police the town, that there" should be an agree ment ag to salaries as they, the com- (Continued on 6th.
