The regular monthly meeting of Board of Aldermen last night was a ! lengthy one, and various matters of j the public weal occasioned much ar- j guement and discussion. Although j the session was long and the dis- cussious many, there was not much i business disposed of, as many of the j matters went over undecided. ! Among those matters which went' contained in Section 5 A, he is dis over after much argument were the j question of the location of the abat ' toir, or the city slaughter house; I the creation of the office of city pur- chasing agent; the extension of the j water mains on East avenue and ! Elizabeth avenue beyond McDowell j street, and also on Mint street. J After hearing several gentlemen 1 on matters coming up before the ; board, the mayor announced that j there were two vacancies on the boards which were to be filled, these vacancies being in Wards No. 2 and 3. The election of an alderman from the Second Ward was first taken up. Alderman McDowell in a neat lit tle speech placed in nomination the name of Dr. C. A. Bland. The nom ination was seconded by Alderman Haywood, and Dr. Bland was unani mously elected to succeed Capt. T. S. Franklin on the board. No Election for Third Ward. The resignation of Mr. C. A. Wil liams as alderman from the Third Ward was read and accepted, after which the following resolution, intro duced by Alderman Davis, was unan imously carried and ordered spread upon .e minutes: "Whereas, Mr. Charles A. Williams, of the Third Ward, has recently moved his residence into another ward and in accordance with the provisions of our new charter as ISa A. 4L ki 3 ES 83 KTOw vffet J OA WW ger 5 1 tjf 1 ill! llJiclfCl CiCci!

It is with reluctance and regret that this board is forced to accept this resignation." Mr: Shealor, also of the Third Ward, then stated that he and his colleague, Mr. Smith, had not se lected a man to place before the board, but that they would willingly hear suggestions from the other members. Upon motion of Cel. Le Roy Kirkpatrick, the election of an alderman from this ward went over until the next meeting. Other Vacancies Filled. Mayor Franklin then announced that two vacancies existed on the Board of Health and one on the Board of Public Service. Mr. C. A. Wrilliaras was elected as a member of the Board of Health to succeed Dr. Bland, who becomes an alder man, and Dr. Winchester was elect ed to succeed Mr. F. D. Alexander who resigned some time ago. Mayor Breaks Tie. There was quite a spirited con test as to who should succeed Mr. J. N. McCausland on the Board of Public Service. The names of Messrs. A. M. McDonald, C. B. Bryant, Ern est Berryhill and George H. Bellin ger were placed in nomination. The first ballot resulted: McDon ald 3; Berryhill 2; Bryant 2; Bellin- The second ballot resulted: Mc Donald G; Berryhill 2; Bryant 1: Bellinger 7. On the third ballot the two highest were voted for, and this ballot re sulted in a tie, the vote being 8 each for Bellinger and McDonald. The mayor broke the tie by casting his vote for Mr. McDonald, who was elected. , After a lengthy discussion the board passed a motion suspending the ordinance prohibiting the shoot ing of certain kinds of fire works within the city limits from 8 o'clock in the evening of Dec. 24th to 12 o'clock on the night of the 26th. The mayor announced that he had been requested to appoint a com mittee for the board to see that the law as to cruelty1.- to animals was enforced. He appointed on this com mittee '.Messrs. F: B.. ' McDowell, P. M. Cave and T. L. kirkpatrick. Alderman Kirkpatrick introduced an ordinance regulating the licensing of hackmen. The ordinance provided that the chief of police should be the official to issue license, and that he should not grant license to any one who had been convicted of crime. In support of his ordinance Col. Kirk Patrick stated that 25 per cent of the hackmen of the city were ex-convicts or criminals, and that the pub lic should be protected. The ordi nance passed its first reading and went over. Building Inspector. Alderman Shealor wanted to know what had become of the law passed by the board some time ago provid ing that fire escapes should be placed in certain kind of buildings, and he wanted information also as to whom the people should go to get building permits. As to the fire escapes, the mayor stated that the enforcement of that law was in the hands of the chief of the fire department, and that he would investigate. And as to who the officer was, whose busi ness it was to issue building per mits, it was stated that Mr. Joseph Firth, the city engineer, was now acting in that capacity. Crematory Report. Alderman C. E. Williams made the report for the committee appointed to look into the matter of abating the nuisance of the crematory. Mr. Wil liams stated that the great stench about the crematory could be remedied by building a higher stack, and secur ing an adequate supply of water. The matter was left with the committee. Mr. Haywood introduced an ordi nance creating the office of purchasing agent for the city. The ordinance passed its first reading and went over. A Petition From Citizens. Alderman Maxwell read a petition from the citizens living on East Ave nue asking that the city put in larger water mains in that section of the city. Mr. Maxwell then offered a motion granting the petition of the citizens, and said that those living in this sec tion were served with a two-inch main which was not adequate. The motion also carried a provision improving the sewerage facilities in that section. The water main question went over, and the superintendent of water was order eel to report the cost of laying 6 and 8 inch mains in this section. The sew erage matter was left with the board of public service. The Abbatoir Matter. Alderman Shealor stated that the committee on the location of the abba toir or slaughter house could not make a report because every place selected proved objectionable to the people in the vicinity. Ho wanted to know if the board wanted the slaughter house within the city limits, and if not he wanted the board to say so. Mr. Shealor stated that the company which proposed to erect the plant was willing to take all risk as to the plant proving a nuisance, but that they want- ed to know if the board was friendly to the plan, and if they would pass an ordinance prohibiting any meat being sold in the city that was not slaughter ed in the abbatoir or some other one built by the same specifications. Alderman McDowell moved that the ! committee be continued, with instruc tions to report something definite to the board at the next meeting. Mr. Plummer Stewart appeared be fore the board, and asked that that or dinance which provided that the police officers of the city should not prove witness tickets in the superior court be repealed. He stated that the ordi nance was passed when it was thought that the salary of the policemen would be raised. Upon motion of Colonel Kirkpatrick, the ordinance was repeal ed. Several other minor matters came up and after discussion were referred to committees.

Chrstmas in a few more weeks will be here; and there are many, even now, who are looking forward to the day when they will present to those of their household and friends, gift a of one kind or other, showing theLr love for them; others hail it with glad hearts because it brings afresh to their hearts and minds, the Christ who on this day was born; and on this day they make a special effort to bring cheer to their more unfortunate brother, and in so do ing their hearts are made glad. There are numbers of poor, unfor tunate people in this city who are deserving of help; who, if it were not for the Salvation Army would spend Christmas with little to eat and some of them go supperless to bed. The Salvation Army this Christmas will care for 300 of those unfortu: nate people, and give a treat to 201 poor children Christmas night, and feel confident that as in the past the public of Charlotte will stand by them in this undertaking; the din ners will be given to them m bas kets so they can enjoy it in their own homes.

There is a disease prevKilincr in this country most dan gerous because so decep tive. Alany sudden deaths are caused by it heart dis ease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplex3' are often the result of kid ney disease. If kidne trouble is allowed toadvance the kidney-poisoned blood will at tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidnej-s themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr.' Kilmer's SwampRoot, the great kidney,' liver and bladder remedj-. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and over comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night.
