secret kept away from the people. -In his platform -he had announce that he favored keeping accurate min utes of the session of council an, recording them in a book kept fo that purpose. He believed the cler "hould keep a special book for th recording of the minutes, so that i any citizen shov'd feel himself ac grieved or should want informatio be could go to the clerk's office an m* exactly what was done. In his platform he had announce that he favored keeping accurate a< counts of all moneys received an paid out, in books prepared for tha purpose, and allowing any eitizen c the town to inspect these books a any time. He said he believed ever citizen ought to 'have the privilege a any time of going for himself an seeing ,the exact financial condition o the town, and what fines had bee paid and what fines remitted, an getting any other information as t ti-e affairs of ,the town which he d4 sired. ie had announced in his platfor tha, he favored and should attemi to hz,ve a clean town, clean street clean alleys, clean financial affair and clean morals, and that he shoul advocate improvements of the stree with proper drainage of :tpe groir to earry off the volume of water no washing away both siRlewalks at roads. As to this latter matter I gave concrete examples. He favored, he said, requiring t] railroads to build a new overheE steel bridge on Boundary street, aa if he should be elected and his cou: cil would back him the present o, wooden bridge would be condemne and the railroads required to erect modern steel structure. He favored and if elected and wm baeked by his council he would r quire a flagman to bf- placed at dai gerous crossings in the town. He r ferred especially to the crossing Davis' shop, and the one above ti depot, where he said there should I gates and where the railroads shoul be required to put gates with flaq men. He referreed to the vagrancy lai and the necessity for a strict enfore ment of it, calling especial attentic to negro pool rooms in the city whei loafing negroes congregated, to pls pool-negroes who made their livir by gambling or selling liquor or wi did nothing except eat from son wbite man's .table through that man cook. He wanted a strict enf ore, ment of the vagrancy law. He favored improvement in til serviee of the fire department, ar advocated rendering such assistan< as was necessary to give the your men who were so nobly upholding ti system as was required to encourag them in their labors and furnish thel whatever was essential to make i service first-class. He paid a tribui to the volunteer firemen of Newbe: ' ry, and referred to their fine wol o~nly a few Sundays ago when 1: their efforts they in all probabilii saved a great part of the town fro: destruction by the fire which orig nated in the livery stables. Many< them on that oceeasion, he said, he ruined their clothes and suffered co: siderable financial loss, and the on thing they received was a pitiful $3.' a year exemption from street dut The fire department was a poor pla to economize, he said. The better td fire department, the lower the insu anee rates, in addition to the .prote tien to property and life. He favored economy in financi affairs, and the running of the go ernment of the town on a liberal that is, not a stingy-but not extra agant manner, and if elected promised~ to enforce strictly to t letter all the ordinan'ees in fore whieh might be passed, and -to knc no man in the diseharge of his d ties.

You get ti the money MAYTES' B has no opposition. I When called on oii Frida.y night he said he felt a little out of place in a making a public address. If some r body should ask him about building k a house -he would feel more like talk. e ing, he said. f When he looked back for the last - three years and thought of what had n passed, and saw that he had defeated d three of the best men in Ward 1 in succession, and stood tonight with d out opposition, he had stopped and - wondered whether itwason account of d his good looks, his size, or what he t had done for the .people of Ward. L f He would leave that for the voters t to say. He had tried to do his duty. He had advocated a number of t things in council, he said, but there d were five votes to his one. So he could not have just what he wanted. [Among the things which he had ad d vocated for three years was open ses I sions of council. He wanted to ask lhe editor of each paper to be pres ent at every session of council, and when the vote for city officers was taken he wanted the council to meet on the stage of the opera house and let the roll be called and every mem . ber of .coucil vote openiv for the man of 'his choice. He wanted the id council to face the people and vote w like men. He realized, he said, that d when he voted he voted for the peo ie ple of his ward, .nd he would vote next year for 116 people, and it was ie their vote he was entrusted with. Anobber position which he had tak d en was that there should be a street superintendent, and he should be al d? lowed a street overseer, to be select. d ed by him and subject .to his orders. a Newberry was too big for one man to take charge of all the streets. It was es a bigger town than it was when Capt. Jackson could get up in the morning e and walk all over town before break - fast. Two overseers had been tried, L but that did not work, because one e was always afraid the other would e do something that council would not r approve of, and the result was that little was done. He advocated a street overseer under the superinten ' dent, the overseer to be put in charge of the hands, under the superinten dent, and the superinteendent to be e in charge of the work generally. With only one overseer when it was neces sary to put a negro in charge of- the o hands the ~hand s often did Nothing e bu;t smoke cigarettes. The finances s of the town were short, but he believ ~ed if the right men were put in the right place, with the proper mater e ials and -tools, that much could be ac dcomplished. eHe again referred to open sessions, 'saying that when any measure of im eporta-ne hdben before the council ehe had always asked the clerk to re cord his vote, so that the people emight know how -he had voted. If e elected again-it will be recalled that he has no opposition-he promised to do the best he could 'for the people of his ward, as he had tried to do in the.past. Ward 2 Not Represented.
