FLAN TO ' BUT MOTOR TRUCK
HAS NOT BEEN ABANDONED.
The Purchase of a New Pair cf Tire
Horses Does Not Mean City Will
Not Make sn Effort to Bay Track.
Owing to the fact t'.iat Alderman
Cook snd Fire Chief Sappenfield
have gone to Kentucky to purchase a
pair of lire liortcs, the impression ha
been marie that the proKsition to
buy a motor Ore truck lias been
abandoned. This is an erroneous
impression.
The proposition to buy a motor
fire truck will he carried to a -conclusion
and there is reason to believe a
successful conclusion. - For the pres
ent, however, the fire department
needs extra equipment and the ahbr
nien thought it safest U purchase a
pair of hones to be used pending
the efforts to purchase a truck in
order that tbe town would have good
fire fighting equipment at all times.
The plan to purchase the motor
truck is well known. It is in ef
fect thnt the people hire who carry
fire insurance give what reduction in
rates that will be granted by virtue
of the addition of a fire track to the
city for a period of sufficient timo to
pay for the truck. The Merchant'
Association, the mayor and other
city officials have the matter under
consideration and hope to he able to
announce t'.ie details of the plan
within a short time.

0VEP.MAN STRONG FOR
SMITH'S COTTON BILL
Says New York Market Is Selling
Middling Cotton It Doesn't Have.
Washington, March 19. Senator
Overman urged the senate today to
adopt the Smith bill establishing
government standard grades of cot
tori. The bill will bo called up to
morrow and it is believed will be
speedily passed.
Senator Overman declared the bill
was of vital importance to southern
cotton growers and manufacturers
and, he said, he hoped, the senate
would pass the measure as soorr as
practicable.
"On 'March 5 good middling was
quoted for March on the New York
cotton market at 12.19 when it was
selling spot cotton that the manufac
turers have to pay 13 3-4 for. If yon
buy good middling on- the New York
market they cannot sell it to you be
cause they heven't got it. Yet they
agree to sell. it to you and. when yon
demand it they give yon a low grade.
"Where they are selling 70,000,000
bales a year as was stated once be
fore on this floor they had only 161
bales on hand. If a man buys good
middling cotton on that market this
dogtail cotton which they have on
hand is delivered."
