In responso to tho announconiont in Tm: CouitiKU last week, that a town | nominating convention would ho held, about a hundred citizens assembled at I'itchford's Hall last Friday night to take part in tho annual nominations for mu nicipal oilicors. Since the last election tho question has been raised whether Walhalla had not stopped beyond her prescribed limits in styling her otlicers Mayor and Aldermen. Whet her or not she had was not devel oped at tho convention, but tho safo course was taken, and tho nominations this lime were made for Intendant and Wardens inste .id of Mayor and Alder men. Mr. lt. T. .Tayncs addressed the conven tion, stating its purpose, and nominated .fudge J. W. ITolleman as chairman, and he was unanimously elected. Judge Ilolleman look the chair and nominated Mr. V. li. Norman as secretary. Ho was elected. The chairman made a few remarks upon tho object of thc meeting and de clared tho convention open for business and ready to hear nominations. Mr. J. W. Shelor took occasion to eulo gize Mayor F. S. Ilolleman, and after saying many nice things about him, placed him in nomination for Intendant. There were no other names put before the convention and Mr. Ilolleman was unanimously nominated. The nominations for Wardens were next looked after. Mr. .1. M. Ward nominated Mr. W. I . Veiner. Mr. J. M. Moss nominated Mr. .James Thompson. Mr. .1. W. Sholor nominated Mr. ,J. M. Baldwin. Mr. W. II. Hai ron nominated Mr. A. I'. Crisp. Mr. .lames Thompson nominated Mr. W. S. Frasier. Mr. Jamos K. Ansel nominated Mr. C. W. Pitchford. (Voice: "Who vos dat ?") Mr. K. T.

Ward asked that tho motion to close nominations be withdrawn, ami Mr. J ay ll ? withdrew motion. Mr. Wm Terry nominated Mr, V. L. Norman. Mr. Norman stated that he was ineligible to hold otlice by reason of his not being a resilient hum enough to comply with thc law in regard to regis tration. Mr. Norman's withdrawal left only six nominees for Wardens, and as there were only six to be voted for, the six were de clared I he nominees of the convention. At this juncture Mr. .1. W. Sholor stated that there was a vacancy on tho Hoard ol' Health to be lilied. Then came a squabble Sumo said there were two vacancies, some contended for tbroo, ami no one knew "where he was at." Ono had only lo shut his eyes to imagine an excited crowd of long-queued Chin?se laundrymen contending for rights they know they ought to have, but did not know what the rights really were lt was finally settled that there were throe members to bo elected, ?md nomi nations for Hoard of Health were de clined in order. Thc following were placed in nomina tion: C. K. Gaillard, Dr. .1. W. ?ell, S. N. Pitchford, .1. M. Moss, A. Kischossor. The vacancies on the Hoard were ono member for a ?"> year term, one for a I year term and one for a '.> year term. On motion of Mr. .lames Thompson il was agreed that, the one receiving the largest number of votes should be thc nominee for the ."> year terni, tho next highest tho I year term and tho noxt highest tho year term, and the two re ceiving tho smaller votes dropped from the list, (Voice: "How you do dot, eh '.'

Tho meeting throughout was harmoni ous and everything went along smoothly, willi occasional quaint and pointed re marks here ami there during the pro ceedings from the audience. The Election Quiet. Thc elect ion on Monday was very quiet, and only about half of the voters registered took advantage of the privi lege of voting. Mayor Ilolleman re ceived tho. full vote-tn fact, ii would be almost sacrilege for any mau in Walhalla lo scratch V. S. Ifolloman's name on an election ticket.

Tho prohibitionists scorn to think that they havo nothing to expect from tho general assembly at this session that will bo bonoiicial to their causo, and it is not expected that a prohibition measure will bo introduced. Tho cbiof result of last night's con foronoo was embodied in tho following resolution, this hoing tho only action taken : Resolved, That J. K. Brunsen, F. ll. Hyatt, J. A.

Much to our chagrin and regret the cot (ago on Seroamor top belonging to Kx Chiof .Justice Logan E. llleckley was totally destroyed by bro a few nights since. The tiring could not havo been tho wink of an incendiary, for Judge llleckley is universally held in tho high est esteem by tho people of this his na tive comity. Indirect it is a suspicious pioco of work, siUC0 tho mountain was tired by unknown parties in tho night time, presumably for thc purpose of making ready for spring vegetation, and ?aid parties failed to notify the .Judge's relatives who li veil in this vicinity that tho mountain was fired so that they might protoct the house. We regret tho destruction as badly, if possiblo, as .Judge llleckley himself, since it was au object of interest and curiosity lo strangers as well as a re treat for our people for picnics and other pur posos. We should suggest thal people who engage in such business should bo more discriminating as to whose woods they fire and cortainly not go to thc point of extravagance as was credited to Sher man when ho inarched through (?eoigia in the sixties. Judge, tho good people in this community are very much in sympathy with you. - Clayton Tribune, January 11. OUR FORCES IN THE PHILIPPINES. Tlicy arc Still Having a Few Skirmishes Fight on January 8.
