Carolina will this year spend more
than $100,000 on permanent Improve
ments—a condition heretofore un
known. Next year the city will ap
propriate $150,000 for such purposes.
There are five men in Columbia
who make It their regular business to
look after affairs of the city. There
are four councllmen and the mayor.
The councllmen receive $2,000 a year,
and the mayor $2,500.
Her* is the 'way the city’s business
is apportioned:
W. H. Gibbes —Officers, accounts

are making a fight for clean gpvern-
ment. The Trenton Evening Times
asked Capt. W. E. Ga males, editor of
The Mate, for a s'atement as to the
results obtained In Columbia and he
)i«s the following to y which is to
, the point!* .
Thirteen months ago a mayor and
four councllmen took over the man
agement of the municipal affairs from
a mayor and 15 alderman. Formerly,
the mayor got a salary of $1,500, the
atderm nothing. Now the mayor gets
$2,600, and each of the councllmen
’ $2,000.
We have the Des Moines plan with
several Improvements. There Is civil-
service for police, fire and health de
partments; Initiative, recall and re
ferendum. None of these privilege*
j has been Invpkcd.
Ward lines are obliterated, council-
men being elected, a* the mayor, at-
large. The ward boss Is dethroned.
In the old system there was little
Of no grafting, lack of definite respon
sibility; the unbuslness-like system
resulted In waste; a thousand little
l^aks. There were jealousies and
.bickerings among aldermen.
All that Is changed. For four
years before Its adoption an earnest
advocate of commission government,
tie results exceed n.y expectations
Tiere 4s more In the system than In
tbe Individuals
Thirteen month* ago the new sys
tem found a fioatin«, debt of about
$76,000—they always had floating
debts, the yiderroen. Twenty-five
thousand a year was til that could be
given by aldermen for street care and
Improvement. In ten months, for the
firet time In many years, the city got
on a cash basis. No debts. No appro
priations overdrawn. Every council
man publicly known to be responsible
for the counduct of a certain depart
ment Tbe water works, instead of
showing a deficit of $1 8,000 to be
paid out of general tares, is paying
expenses ar\d beginning to show a
cash balance.
Besides $25,000 for street cleaning
and repairs, $100,00.0 was appropriat
ed for expenditure this year for per-
mature Improvement*, the citizen
al’.ng another $100,00 ) 'o r, -aL
out of current receipts. Next year
the city will appropriate $150,000 for
auch improvements.
Council meets often; the citizens
can have hearings at any time and
.. they are in direct touch with the
business managers of this affair.
Ordered business supersedes a
muddle. From the verg? of bank
ruptcy we step to a 20 per cent, divi
dend proposition.
There are more policemen, with
tl^ree, instead of two, reliefs. The
fllfe department is more efficient
power,sare have supplanted horses in
be'vera]''instances.
A wonderful change, and a splen
did success.
GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND.
the Issuance of the cotton crop re
port:
"The rei>ort shows the condition of
the crop do be higher than on any cor
responding date In the laat 10 years.
A month ago the general condition
was 8.5 per cent, above the 10-year
average. Today it Is 10.12 per cent,
above the 10-yenr average.
"The ncerage of cotton this year Is
rbout .25,000,000. Allowing for the
average amount of abandonment —
about 1,000,000 acres tin- indica
tions are that approximately 2 4,000,-
000 acres of cotton will l>e harvested
The condiMon Indicates a probable
yteld of 202.8 pounds per acre,
which on 24,000,000 acres, would
mean 6,895,000,000 pounds, or abou‘.
