yard for all such measures."

amendment to enfranchise women

Fire in Holler Shop.
Wednesday about 12:20 p. m. the
Ideal Roller Covering Shop on Air
line avenue was discovered to be on
fire. The department reached tne
scene quickly and soon had the blaze
extinguished. The fire originated
from the explosion of a lamp whlcn
was used for keeping the glue melt
ed. During the absence of the force
at dinner the fire started and when
seen by Mr. Todd, of Todd's Bakery
next door, was gaining headway. The
rooms overhead are occupied by Tne
Gaston Progress. For a time It
peemed as if the whole block would
go. The building belonged to J. L.

The damage to the building anuHnt
ed to about $150. The stock of tne

yet they are unable to ascertain tne
exact loss. They hope to be able to
resume work by Monday morning.

"Miss Hodges left several weeks
rgo to visit Mrs. Davis and last weeK
Mr. McFadden went to Atlanta. The

While the marriage was not a com

secret.
"Mr. and Mrs. McFadden left im
mediately after the ceremony for Bal

The reception was a simple good
time affair combining tbe attractions
of a home reception and a delightful

the Wharton residence was Illumined
with the festive lights of many Ja
panese lanterns and the gay couples
of young folks sitting under the

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
NUMEROUS MATTERARE POSTPONED
Hoard of Aldermen Hold Regular
Monthly MeetingSeveral Import
ant Matters Up for Discussion
Adjourned Meeting to He Held
Tuesday Night, July 22nd Local
Street Cars Soon.
Althoirgh many important matters
came up last Tuesday night at tne
regular monthly meeting of the
board of aldermen, not much busi
ness of importance was transacted,
the bulk of the business being refer
red to the several committeea and
held over till Tuesday night, July
22nd, when an extra meeting will be
held.
Mr. G. C. Andrews, agent for the
Southern Railway presented an or
dinance for adoption by the board,
with reference to the loiterers and
loafers around the Southern sUtion,
the defacing or mutilation of any or
the railroad property and the ques
tion of hacks and carriages around
the station. This matter was leTer-
red to the police committee witn
plenary powers.
The matter of signing a couiract
with the Southern Railway relative
to the laying of a water main under
the Southern tracks was referred to
the water and light committer.
For the street committee, Mr. A.
E. Moore reported a street roller
and road machine purchased and
satisfactory progress made toward
the paving of the streets. He prom
ised a more detailed report at the
next meeting. For the sanitary com
mittee, Mr. Moore reported thii! at
the extra meeting he would have a
complete report and certain recom
mendations to make in regard to the
sanitary condition of the city. It is
expected that this will be one of tiie
most important measures of the new
administration the ' health condi
tions of the city. City Physician Ar
nold Stovall, as has been noted In
The Gazette, is busy these days gatn
erlng data and information as to the
best methods of making and keeping
the city clean. Some strenuous leg
islation is looked for along this line.
Mr. Beal reported that conditions
in the cemetery were very bad. He
said that the services of two men
were required to keep the two ceme
teries in condition, that Mr. Lindsay
had more to do than one man could
well see after. Some proposed
changes for the purpose of deriving
more revenue for cemetery purposes
were discussed and deferred to the
proper committee for settlement.
The fire department also came in
for its share of the discussion. It
was the opinion of the board that
the fire department and system as It
stands now is totally Inadequate 'for
proper protection. The mills, es
pecially those In the outlying dis
tricts, are not sufficiently cared Tor.
Permission was granted some of the
mills to arrange for the proper con
nections .between their hose and the
city hose.
The question of overhauling the
Interior of the school building also
came up for discussion. It was stat
ed that painting, kalsomlnlng ana
other necessary repairs were needed,
the cost to be from $500 to $600.
The matter was referred to tne
proper committee.
The drainage question was also
discussed. That the city should ac
quire some of the small water cours
es and branches leading out of town
for drainage outlets was the senti
ment of the board. The surface
drainage from the city is giving trou
ble, especially in the West Main
street section of town.
City Tax Collector Ratchford was
given power to levy on recalcitrant
taxpayers for taxes which were In
arrears.
Mr. Moore reported that the P.
N. authorities were doing their best
to give the town local street car ser
vice and that he thought that cars
would be running within a week.
It was also ordered that the con
tractors who have In charge th
building of the Southern's station be
requested to hurry up with their
work that the Southern furnish there
the necessary cinders, chert, etc., as
quickly as possible.
