That Charlotte is running more econ omically with its present form of gov ernment than is Columbia, S. C, with its commission form of government is apparent from the annual report of the financial status of the South Caro lina city which has just been publish ed and a copy of which has come into possession of some of Charlotte's offi cials. According to the report of the city treasurer of Columbia the total income there is $646,173, while the total dis bursements for last year were $613,649, leaving a balance of $32,474. Charlotte's total revenue for 1910 11, according to figures prepared by Chairman E. W. Thompson of the fi nance committee of the board of alder men, was $203,396, while: the net dis bursements for the same period were $17236. According to the same authority the receipts exceeded the disbursements by $34,560. The population of Charlotte according to the last census was 34, 01 1 while that of Columbia is around 28.000. Charlotte also has a corporate area of twelve square miles and 100 miles of streets. The largest source of income to Co lumbia is the Richland county .dispen sary, which last j-ear amounted to $124,000. Without this source of in come and with a much wider area than the South Carolina city,- comparison is not half bad for Charlotte. Distinguished v Cleigyman Coming The Churcn Club, of the Episcopal church, will give a supper Saturday night in honor of two of its most dis tinguished . dishops Bishop Reece, of Georgia, and Bishop Cheshire, of North Carolina.

Heavy Sentences In Superior Court Several defendants drew, heavy sen tences this morning in the superior court. Among them were General Mayfield, who was sentenced to three years on the roada for highway rob bery, Joe A. Abernathy to. 6 months for larceny and Gus Coopfer,' Jcncrwn as "River Rock," tothree years for highway robbery. All the defendants were colored and were sent up from the recorder's court. Messrs. Clem Wilson, W L.-Hand, T. B. Blackman, John B. Bowen, Tom Crump and Duck Wentz are the de fendants named In several warrants which Chief of Police Christenbury expects to serve today for violating the prohibition law' by selling whis key. The warrants were taken out as the result of revelation made by Rev. R. L. Davis at the recent union meeting at the auditorium when he exhibited eight bottles of whiskey on the stage, which he said were bought from the clubs of the city in violation of the law and from the drug stores without prescription, which is also" a violation of the law. The warrants will be served today in anticipation of the coming of Rev. R. L. Davis tomorrow, the date set for the hearing. It will be recalled that following the display of the whis key bottles at the auditorium, Record er D. B. Smith issued a capias ad tes tificandum for Mr. Davis and gave him n preliminary hearing that night. Mr. Davis gave the name of Oscar L. Flowe, a prominent young man of the county, as the person who made the purchase of the eight bottles. lie ex pressed also his entire willingness to appear in the cily on whatever date the recorder named to bear witness against the violators of the law. In consideration of the fact that Mr. Da vis was then engaged in making a tour of the state that did not end till the 14th (today) the recorder appoint ed February 15th as the day for the hearing. All information that could be pro cured at that time was put in the pos session of City Solicitor John A. Par ker. At the request of Recorder Smith City Attorney Brenizer assist ed Mr. Parker in working the cases. On the Monday following Mr. Davis' visit here on Sunday six warrants were drawn, including six of the names given in the first paragraph, and put in the hands of Chief Christen bury. , They were not served then, however, pending the rounding up of more evidence to corroborate that, al ready at hand. Meanwhile the main witness in the case and the person named as the purchaser In the seven warrants, O. Jj. Flow, excused himself for further residence in the county. It was re ported on the street the latter part of last week that he had been given $300 to leave. The News' columns yester day contained a letter from Monroe in which it w-as stated that Flow had spent last Wednesday night"" in Mon roe and that he had told a friend there that $1,000 had been offered him to leave but that he had refused the of fer and that he had been told it would be best for him to leave. The case against the clubs and drug stores, ..without ' the main witness, is admittedly not as strong as it wrould be with the main witness present, but the two attorneys who are headling the case In the roles of prosecutor will use the witnesses who are alleged tb have seen Flow make the purchase and will attempt to make out the case with them. The hearing is set for tomorrow morning. BRIEFS, The Haymakers will meet In spec ial session at their hall, 37 1-2 West Trade street tonight at 8 o'clock.

Architects' Bids 'Aie Still loo High For nearly three hours last night the buildings and grounds committee of the board of school commissioners tried to figure out some scheme for making the present appropriation of school funds " conform to the design of architects for five new school buildings in the city. It begins to look as if the architects, the Goode Construction company, J. A. Gardner, J. E. Solomon, J. D. Foard and Blythe & Isenhour, would have to - change their plans and specifications in-order to bring the style of the proposed buildings within reach of the appropriation. The bids were only slightly lower than those examined recently when the buildings and grounds committee turned them all down because they were too high. The bids wTere, ac cording to the figuring of the school committee, about $11,000 too high for the five prospective buildings. The only definite action taken at the meeting last night was for the committee to meet again tomorrow night for the receiving of new bids, giving the architects in the meantime an opportunity to improve their bids.

FACE PAINT TABOOED; REMOVE SKIN INSTEAD. 1 : "A few years ago only one class of women painted their faces,' says Dolly Madison in Chicago News. "It W"as a sign of social ostracism and -was tabooed in refined circles. The cus tom has become so universal we must admit it is tos be deplored and to be shelved as soon as posible." How foolish to seek artificial "beau ty" of this sort, obnoxious from artis tic and moral standpoints, when It is so eas-y to obtain a truly natural com plexion by the use of ordinary merco lized wax. An ounce of mercolized wax; obtainable at any drug store, will cause such a transformation, no one need think of using anything else for the purpose. Applied like cold cream night, and washed off in the morning, it at once begins to show its remarka ble rejuvenating effects. It gently ab sorbs the lifeless surface skin in tiny particles, revealing the fresher, live lier, beautiful underskin. Naturally it takes with it all surface defects.
