The hoard received the 'information ; as to the - sqientiflo and standard inspection with pleasure and promised that ' in the future the matter might be taken up, .but for : all .-work pending the board has arranged for the inspection. Short- Police. Force.

The point "was " raised whether : the $400 1 necessary, should come out, - or tne fire! department appropriation or the paving fund, but it was decided that the money i was needed for strictly fire purposes and 'should come, from the fire department appropriation,. The board also received a request for 175 feet of sewer to be placed on Lenox avenue in Dilworth, where; it was said to be greatly needed. This was also properly referred by 7 the board.

S He -wantS ed the' city to have a sew'er run by ..the, plant "or other relief igiven so that the company might avoid the threat - ened litigation. ? Mr. Jones, manager for the - Buckeye people, also stated the case declaring that it seemed to be a situation in which most every day would mean a new litigation if something, were not done. Mr. Clark son said that three attorneys had al ready given notice that if the mat ter were not remedied, suit would be instituted. City Engineer Firth arose and said that-the city could not take care of drain water and that -there was an ordinance against such, ' and that be was working on a-sewer sys tem to cover the town but could not easily afford a branch to 'the Buckeye plant. 'On - motion, however, the board named a committee : with " the city engineer to look immediately into the situation and. see 'what can be done to remedy affairs, - Applications -for- lights. -Applications for additional - lights are coming, inr most "rapidly. Alder ' man Anderson was before the board to ask for- at least two lights in the vicinity of Eighteenth1 street on North Brevard, .declaring that when he started home at 10 minutes before 6 o'clock, each evening, he could hardly see where he, went, and as there were many people coming from the . mills these had considerable difficulty in avoiding collisions with each other and in getting along in anywise.-. He also had -narrowly micsed "running into a team, neither seeing the oth er. The question was referred to the lght committee. - Then came Mr. . John B. Ross, rep. resenting his plant near the Standard Oil plant in th.e northern section of the city, declaring that it was sd dark in that section that walking from the plant at 6 o'clock in the evening was hazardous work. He also wanted several Jights placed which he was willing to leave with the committee if they saw fit to give the lamps. He also petitioned for a few loads of may cadam to repair the road , by Mr, Ros3 plant, and also much used by the city, the stretch being about 150 yards long and 12, feet wide. This is impassable in Winter, as was attest ed to by other witnesses. ... . This mat ter also was referred by the executive board to the proper committee, A like request was entered for rock on North Davidson street, where condi tions were reported very bad. '" Thad Tate appeared before the board last night about the opening of West Second street by the; Piedmont & Northern Lines. This - matter has been before both the Sldermanic and executive board in weeks jast,. and it was brought out that notice had, been mailed to the local! ofljeiaja' of, jthe company that : the street must:- be opened but no reply. was received. It was said that the company desires to open a street in the. rear of their de pot on South Mint-street. As no reply' had been received to the letter sent by the city some time ago, the mayor promised to see that another notice was sent speedily, noti fying the company to proceed with the opening up of the street men tioned. It is said that several tracks of the company cross this street as it is near the freight depot of the Piedmont & Northern and hence the necessity of vt)ie' tracks.. The city, will look into, the " matter without delay." ' As to the Carnegie Library for col ored people Thad Tate also started to inform the board 'of the financial dif ficulties bf 'that Institution1 which ' he saldViust. couldr-not run -without help, but he Was" interrupted with the dec laration that that was a matter for the aboard : of aldermen, and precipi tately retired. The Carnegie Library for colored people is located on Bre vard and Second streets and is de clared to be doing a good work, and any aid to the institution will be as sistance placed where it will count for a great deal. Testing Paving Work. The - board listened at - some length to a ' representative of a long-established concern in Pittsburg making a specialty of testing permanent paving, both physicially, chemically ' and by ONLY ONS Bromo Quinine," that is Lasatlve Qromo Onxne Cores a Cold in One Day, Grip in 2 Days NEWSPAPER MEN IN : ROWAN'S CAPITAL Electing Of Press " Association Proves A Most Enjoyable AI-falr-EIuch Merriment Salisbury. Dec, X2. As has been the case often in the history of .the North Carolina Press Association not ail of the members who were on the program of the first day's session of the annual convention turnea up ior their nerformances. However, no one is more adaptable or perhaps the word- is docile--than the newspaper boys, anyway, so, with a program proof revised, the session was begun ausniciouslv. thoroughly and well. Attorney Stahle Linn welcomed: the"; members of the association to tne City in a neat and able speech. Mr, W. C. Dowd, of The Charlotte News was not present . to deliver the Te sponse, so this' devolved upon Presi-. dent- J H.. Caine,. who expressed tho gratification i of ; the press convention at beinir in "s6 good a town. , New.f members constituted the firsM Dusines&j. ana,-MMsrs, J. txurej,t L. Busby Pope, A. 'W.;lIicks and W. Bost were presented "and elected; . The absence of some of the speak-; ers slated for today left several mafrr ters to be. taken up tomorrow. , Jir Joseph us Daniels, who was to have discussed the new publicity law did not appear, v. Mr. "Wir C. Bamer, who was to have taken up "Some Needed Legislation. Especially; That Applying to Newspapers," took up the subjeet of Mr. Daniels, and-Mr. H. C. Mar Un debated the subject that the hig solicitor would not tackle. Rather mournfully President Caine announced that there were" "charges to be preferred against a brother member" and he called upon James F,r .Hurley,- -of The Salisbury Post, member of the freshman class, to make the assault. Hurley arose blushing and announced that he had nothing against anybody, but pointed to Savory, "Linotype Savory..' as tho mover against Editor Bob Philips. 1 Mr. Savory read the indictment in capital -voice and' covered up . finely. He spoke of the aged and decrepit calumniator of Salisbury's roof gar den and 'read beautiful poetry at him. Savory did it well, ' and never cracked a smile. - From the stage, behind something that looked like a photographer's den,: Hurley "brought but a ? ladies' hat box and. laid the pie' prostrate before the bewildered Greensboro "calum niator." "The ladies . of Rowan have adopted the motto, -Feed the brute,"'" Savory said. "Now eat the pie and please let our roof garden alone." The applause that followed this seance, was tremendous. Editor Phillips did' hie best to respond ' but was over whelmed. Senator Baldy Boyden then took tha last topic, "The Newspaper Boys" and told of his friends among them. The first was little Jim Bowers, the devil or the old Carolina Watchman when Joe Bruner made it a National paper by reason of its ability. Bowers was oldf r than Colonel Boyden and was his ideal. He, with 14 Salisbury. boys, died t ;the .fBloody. TAngle'in a single xiay'E fight. "The State, ought to recognise: the- worth ofuchimea ana give them :a marker when they die on the yelil of Tbattle.?lMr; Boyden said. v '.'That's the onlyvreason I ever had for going tc the Senate." I wanted to do something foa the Confederates." He spoke of his association with WUson wd Woodson, of the old News and Observer, later Joseph P. Cald well and JchnM. Julian. He gave way; to his (.motions here ' and said that he could not speak of'them with out tears. He had never known a man so uneelfieh or so lovely, he said, as J. p. Caldwell. ?Those of you who have felt his hand grasp understand Jt- Those who have not do not know lt.v And John Julian M never had a nobler friend. He literally gave hi life to this town." '.,". The speech was pure 'reminiscence and greatly enjoyed.- Solicitor Hammer, editor of The' Asheboro Courier. th'e.n,took up the New Publicity Law' $he; assignment of Mr. Daniels. . "I .do not think it is an infringe ment on the Constitution," he said, "ad J believe that the public has the riffht to know whose money speaks In the newspapers. We havo changed considerably in that respect, A news paper is a public concern and it is the utmost importance that the mouthpiece of any institution be un derstood. 'As to passes, J do not use . them. X believe in more freedom, though 1 do mot condemn their use as a basis for advertising. I think the tendency Is to get more mileage than one is entitled to, though I do not know that." anybody does. Tne old mileage basis was troublesome. But all of us can remember when Judges, solicitors and officers of State' rone on passes -arfd thought it was all right, I would love, $ to , see the better time come when every newspaper man could se cure a better rate for his advertising and -pay for- everything that he gets, just as I would. like to see a minister be paid the same way." Rev Dr. . P, J. Mallett, rector of the Episcopal Church, reminded the solicitor that this is good doctrine and ; in some . quarters tfcie railroads I A wm. A . M M -. A. m irem miDisiers just as tney ao otnT" peopxe. , , . , . , ... The. discussion, which;, if ti JlecrtitnvT was to have taken the la4ing part , in, fell to Editor H. C Martin. First of . all, he thought the odltors ought to condemn the action of Congress- in the restriction of the exchange of mileage. He thought'4t worked hard ship , to both roads and press. "It di rectly reflects upon Vthe integrity .of . the press," he declared, 'i'and there is not a' more honovable calling. The- press ought to condemn it- -. , The Lenoir editor, declared himself J aisgustca witn "tne nue - ana Aery against the railroads," and ; thought they are doing a great work of de velopment. Modern court procedure, which he, termed -as unprogreeslve as Blum's Almanac the only unchanged institution ' of the "past 6 ' years; he unremittingly satirized and '" he thought - that doctors who are treat ing "fancy diseases" and sending out boosting articles, j ought " to - pay,, for them. Theee. are neededlaws, he said. He came out for the working of-the oonvJcts upon th roads : and;tlien J gave a -few-negative. needs, -a "I wish to say' in tyoncluslon." : Mr. Martin said, "a word-about some laws that are not needed.

Assistant Editor;. Theodore FK! Kluttz of The Charlotte Observer declared that . the ehief objection ( to the - measure was th" unprofessional and;unethlcal way in which the law requiring publicity of the newspaper'? private affairs was passed. -'Tt came upon us as a thief in. the night," he said. "All newspapers admit that thy did not know anything about it., And the worst of it is that the newspapers' do not have any redress. It & admit ted that i it is unconstitutional, , but Congress has absoiutej control .over postoffices and post-roads, ; so what difference ? does it - make?-. You V tan do nothing" Much to the same purpose was said by Editor FarrJss of High Point and Editor ff. D. Bivlns of Albemarle,-So licitor Hammer did not thinks bar it was quite so severely - done s nis friends . thought. He had not read the statute carefully, he said. As the day waxed to ta. finish ad journment was taken-untll tomorrow morning at 9:30. At that time it is expected that political advertising will be an order. .The matter was slightly discussed' in the ihorhing ses sion.
