CnARI)TTE MARTIN It - - - Judge Timier is having, all kinds of experiences in perform ing the duties of his office of iodse of the county court. Wednesday night, while he was wrapt in peaceful siumDer, uream ing that the world was at. peaee and tliere was no legislation, an insistent visitor knocked at 'his door and widely ft wakened him from his sleep ; 1 .- . . This complainant had a great Grievance and he wanted a war rant at once. Judge Turner has til v dressed, replenished the fire and invited his visitor in. The visitor began to tell of hi grievance nna tne, juige soon learned that the complainant had had given a negro fifty cents. with which to purchase , liquor for him; the negro had gone off with the money 'and had failed to return. .He wanted a war rant fr the negro to compel hiia to furnish the liquor or to refund the money.' , :The judge's .indignation can be Pflsily imagined, and it. is safe to bet that ' the visitor left nest haste, while the jnl?e un burdened his mind in pretty strong terms. This is not the only instant of the judge's troubles. When the maritial infilicities of the color ed population, rerret the climax of a conjugal battle.Mhe combat tereT member seeks the judge at all hours of the. night for war rants for offending spouses. 4 . The board of aldermen", iiiet Monday night of this week for. the purjKiso of taking under1 con sideration, the iwoinmendafioiia of the charter committee, appoint ed last months and which made its first report last week.; The ' committee , had . gone, carefully over the charter sinct? ih laht meeting1 of the board ' and hal , ' their; recommendations' 7 in rfefr V nite .-.form'. ; Except -foir this the - recommendations were practical ly the same as those offered last . Monday night.. - C 4 ,- The board adopted the recom mendation of the committed with the exception of the matter of itemizing the published report of 4 the finance committee. It was decided that th' report should be published in compliance with law but not in itemized form.1 ' , City Attorney, W. L. Cohoon was directed to draw up' amend- ments projiosed and also to frame . a bill authorizing ' a $200,000.00 tond issue for the purpose of ' acquiring an electric light; sew erage and water-works system The amendments and the bill are to be brought up 'in this session - kof; the legislature. .;'.

When -all the recommendations of the committee had been pass ed upon, alderman Love made v' a motion that the Elizabeth Pity j Graded School trustees Bhould be elected by the people instead of by the trustees and board of aldermen as heretofore. The motion was passed - without a dissenting vote, Mr. Sawyer gir- . ing as his reason for not voting 4 the fact that he hinv- ' . on the - ( pesent. board. ' 7.77;''''7'"';7. Those opposing ';V-j change con tend that this step would put' the graded school in politics and . would briflg about the election of inefficient trustees. It is pointed out that the board is not self perpetuating us charged but that the aldermen represent ing the people, share with the : trustees the right of making nom inations for filling the places of members whose turn has expir ed and of voting for or against--all nominees.
