At a special meeting of city council held on Friday night to elect a record er under the recent ordinance creat ing the office, Alderman John W. Ear hardt was elected on the fifth ballot. Under an agreement of council no nominations were permitted and no applications received or read. Mayor Langford called the meeting to order and stated it was called for the purpose of electing a recorder un der the new ordinance creating the of fice. Alderman Lominack asked City At torney Blease, who was present, if the ordinance creating the offlce was prop erly drawn. Mr. , Brease stated that the ordinance seemed to be in proper shape, except that he thought it was always better to have an ordinance written out without pencil interlinea tions before it was signed, and this Dne seemed to have these pencil inter ineations. Otherwise it was in proper shape. He explained that he had not been requested to draw up the ordi nance neither had it been submitted to him before it was signed under seal. He was directed to have it rewritten and properly signed and sealed for record. Alderman Summer, who in troduced the ordmance, explained that he thought it was- customary for the 'city attorney to nave the ordi rance put in proper shape,- and that be did not think to have it passed on by the .city attorney before introduc [ing it. Mr. Blease said he had not seen it before It was decided to go into a ballot for recorder without nominations and without receiv'ing applications. Ald arman Lominack presented a written application, but it was not read under he rule adopted. First ballot-D. A. Dickert 1, J. A. Benn 1, J. W. Earhardt 1, 0. Klettner L, Van Smith 1. Second ballot-D. A. Dickert 1, J. W. Earhardt 1, Van Smith 1, W. Y. Fair 1, E. H. Aull 1, M. L. Spearman 1. Third ballot-D. A. Dibkert 1, J. H. -arms 1, Van Smith 1, J. R. Davidson , J. W. Earhardt 1, J. A. Senn 1. .After this ballot Aldermnan Earhardt asked council to excuse him from vot ing as he was beiug voted for and some might thidnk he was voting for aimself, and .besides he would be glad to ha.ye the position and would ac :ept it if it were tenaered him. Ald rman -Summer said he had made a similar request on a former occasion and had been told by council that he :nust vote, and could- not. be excused. A~ vote was taken on Mr. Earhardt's request and resultea, yeas-Rodels erger, Goree. Nays-Summer, Loin iack. The mayor voted nay and Mr. Earhardt -was not excused. The city attorney looked up the law and held :hat a member was not required to vote, if he desired not to, and that a najority of those vbting, if there were a quorum present, bould elect. So Mtr. iEarhardt did not vote on the other two ballots. Fourth ballot-J. W. Earhardt 2, Van Smith 1,' D. A. Dickert 1, J. W. Taylor 1. Fifth ballot-J. W' Earhardt 3, Van Smith 1, D. A. Dickert 1. Mr. Earhardt thanked council for electing him to the position and stat ed that in the discharge of the duties of the office he would not undertake to reward a friend or punish an enemy, but that he would discharge the duties with impartiality and endeavor to stand between council and the police. He did not propose to try to revolu tionize Newberry, but tie wanted tc say to council that if there were any ordinances on the books council did not want enforced tmey had better be repealed. Mr. Earhardt did not tender his resignation as alderman from Ward 1 and while the law is to go into effec1 on the first of October it was under stood that Mr. Earhardt would not quality until the 15th of October, and would not resign until that time. Ij he should resign now the vacancy would be for more than 60 days and ,oun wemd hnae to order an elec tion. If the vacancy is for less than 60 days it is within the discretion of council to order the election. As the primary and the general elections are so near at hand it was thought hest not to have the trouble and expense of an election for Mr. Earhardt's unex pired term. It should be stated that several of the gentlemen voted for in the election of recorder were in no sense appli cants for the position, and would not have accepted if elected. The question of using the old court house for a rest room was talked of informally and the mayor stated that if it were granted for that purpose by the county that he would send a hand there to have it cleaned up. The mayor also stated that he hoped to begin the paving of the public square and Main street very soon. The business for wnich council as sembled having been completed coun cil adjourned. DEATH OF MR. T. C. POOL. Passing of One of Newberry's Most Prominent and Sincerely Es teemed Citizens. Mr. 'ench Carson Pool died at his home in Harrington street, this city, on. Friday morning, at 8.25 -o'clock. He had been ill for about five weeks with typhoid fever, and while practically - no hope was held out for his uftimate recov;ery, and the news of his death did not come as a surprise, it was nevertheless a painful shock to his many friends in Newberry and throughout the State. Mr. Pool was sixty-three years of age. He was born in Greenville coun ty, coming to Newberry soon after the close of the War Between the Sections. In the latter part of that conflict he served as a member of a boys' com pany from his home .county. After his removal to Newberry he served this city as an alaerman during the "dark days" following the bitter con flict, and in later years he was one of the first commissioners -of public works for Newberry. For many years Mr. Pool was ex tensively engaged in the mercantile business here, and was proprietor of a large brick manufacturing plant. For some years past he was not as actively engaged in business as for merly, though he was conducting a considerable stock business. In 1887 Mr. Pool was :narried to Miss Carrie Jones, of Newberry. She and the following six children sur vive him: Mrs. C. D. Weeks, Mrs. W. E. Peiham, Jr., Jordan P. Pool, Mary Frances Pool, and Robert M. .Pool, of Newberry, and Mrs. Henry DeVega, of Chester. He is also survived by two sisters--Mrs. C. C. Chase,. of At lanta, and Mrs. 0. L. Schumpert, of Newberry. A'll of these were at his bedside when the end came. Mr. Pool- was a man of sterling qualities and of genial disposition and sympathetic nature. He had a big and generous heart. HIe numbered hosts of friends wherever he was known, and he had the high respect and the sincere confidence and esteem of the entire community in which he lived. His home life was ideal, and his relations with the outside world were happy socially and personally, and his business activities were char acterized by the highest integrity. In his every walk of life he will be greatly missed. The funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. George A. Wright, pastor of the First Baptist church, of which Mr. Pool was a con sistent member. The remains were laid to rest in Rosemont cemetery. There was a large concourse of sor rowing friends at the last sad rites, the funeral being one of the largest ever seen in Newberry. There was a great profusion of choice flowers, the last loving tokens of esteem of those both at home and abroad who appre ciated his worth. The pall bearers were: Honorary Congressman Wyatt Aiken, Dr. James 1McIntosh, Dr. E. C. Jones, Col. W. Y.~ Fair. Active-Messrs. W.' F. Ewart, S. J. Wooten, Dr. Strothier Pope, John B. Mayes, B. F. Griffin, L. W. Floyd, Silas J. McCauahrin. Dr. W. E. Pel ham, Sr., W. H. Hunt, Jno. M. Kinard, Among the relatives from out-of town who were present were: Mrs. L W. White, Mrs. C. A. Milford, MisE Helen White, Mr. T. Gordon 'White Mr. George White, of Abb.ville; Mr Aumerle Schumyert, of Columbia; Mr and Mrs. C. C. Ch.,se, of Spartanburg; Mr. and Mrs. Bon y Chase, of Colum bia; Dr. and Mrs. Henry DeVega, oi Chester, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry T Longshore, of the county; and among the others from out-of-town were Gov ernor Blease, of Columbia; Congress man Wyatt Aiken, Abbeville; Mr. and Mrs. William Smith, of Chappells; Mr J. F. Burton, of Laurens; Mr. A. C Jones, of Spartanburg; Dr. Strothei Pope, of Columbia; Mr. S. B. Aull, of Jalapa; Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Hudson of Spearman; Mr. and Mrs. Waltei Spearman, of Silverstreet, and many other friends from the county. Many letters and telegrams were re ceived expressing the heartfelt sym pathy which is general wherever Mr. Pool and 'his family are known. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF NEWBERRY.
