Temporary Arrangement,
Only Wagons Must Be
Parked In Single File
Mayor Sutton May Ask
for Aid In Dilemma
Mayor Sutton Monday morning in
structed the police to allow the cot
ton exchange to be moved back to
Queen street, with the understanding
that wagons be parked single rile,
facing north or south, in the very
center of the street, crossings being
kept open. On "runover" occasions
the surplus wagons will be parked on
West Gordon street below Queen.
There had been somelittle dissat
isfaction over the action of the au
thorities in driving the exchange off
Queen onto Last Gordon street Sat
urday. There seemed to be favor of
a mild protest against moving . the
exchange from the business district,
which was intended to be done ulti
mately. Then, Mayor .Sutton explain
ed, there had to be some arrangement
made by which iroom could be giver
the planters' wagons. There was not
enough room on East Gordon. "We
must show the farmers every consid
eration," Mr. Sutton said.
The new arrangement is not in
tended to be permanent, it is under
stood. Some plan is sought whereby
the exchange carl be located where
traffic will not be inconvenienced and
buyers and sellers will be as well
satisfied.
Mr. Sutton may ask the Chamber
of Commerce and the City Council to
discuss the. matter.

tion must be freed from the po.isibil
ity of interference with its com
merce. business men from various

When a voung Englishman comes to

This is the spirit which permeates
this little aerial "university town,"
which has sprung up since the war on

London. The chivalry of the air is
an important point in the curriculum.
Students graduate and go out t kill
but htey are taught to kill in fair
fight somewhat after the fashion of
the anciant lists when ladies looked
on.
Apart from the zeppeli.ns, German
aviators have fought fair in this war,
the officer told the United Press.
The horrible atrocities in other
branches of German arms have not
spread to the air and there is yet a
chivalry there that aviators must
maintain-
