No, the members of Anderson's city council will not lee vc today for Co lumbus, O., to Inspect automobile fire fighting* machin-3. Likewise, council will not journey to Spartanburg for that purpose. In fact, council isn't going anywhere and there ls some considerable doubt about whether or not a truck ls going to be purchased right now. Several weeks "ugo it was rumored that city council would short!- buy jan autr.mobllo to be used as a com bined pu.r.p and truck machine but the agitation, soon died down and nothing more wa? heard of the mat ter ?ntH '?"t Thur?day nlsht From this part on, this story was told yes terday to a reporter for The Intelli gencer by one of the aldermen: "We bad heard nothing cf a Are en gine being bought and had never beard that the city needed, one. We were dumfounded Thursday night when one member of council present ed a recommendation that council at once place an order with the Amerl can-LaPrance Motor Car company for one of their trucks and Instead of fighting the proposition, we asked for time to consider it, since we were taken wholly unawares. When wo go; time to consider the proposition we' found that, tba people of Andortsr.a do not soe any necessity for Investing $2,500 lc another piece of automobile apparatus. "In the first place, since we got the new water connections, we have suffi cient pressure to tear clap-boards off the side of a houso aa it is. We can easily.throw waten to the top of the highest building in Anderson and therefore, where ts the necessity for buying another machine? Possibly the city ls going to need another piece of fire-fighting apparatus In time and we will all be willing to buy it when it becomes absolutely neces sary but at present we do not see why a heavy debt should be saddled on the people." It ls understood that three mem bers of city council desire to pur chase the tri'.ck while three others are opposed to the Idea. It waa said yes terday by ono ot the aldermen that Aldermen Spearman. Tate and Carter desire to purchase the machine and thai Aldermen Barton, King and Dob bins refuse to consider the idea. Mr. Barton, the aenior councilman, said yesterday that he would like fer tbs people ot Anderson to thoroughly understand the entire Idea, what the plan was and how certain members of council tried to work. Mr. Barton said, speaking for himself and the two gentlemen who stund with him on the proposition, that he would not attend any called meeting to consider tbs matter, and therefore no action would be possible because ot the lack of a' quorum, and he and his forces will fight against buying the truck at all, whether it be at a called meeting or in regular session ot council. It seents to ba the general opinion that the purchase ot an automobile fire track will be delayed for a few weeks. Boy Killed Utile Lad Lost His Life at Pendle ton When Ha Waa Thrown " From a Mala Sunday. -> Roy Gambrell, the 7-year-old son of J. W. Oambrell. waa killed Sunday af ternoon about 6 o'clock when.he waa thrown from a mula on bia father's plantation about three miles south ot Pend loton.

Taking the view that a really pro gressive merchant should go after business all the harder when the cry of "hard times" and "no money" is heard, Walter H. Keese & Company, well known local Jewelers, have just issued one of the handsomest Jewel ry catalogues ever seen in Anderson. The books are printed at considerable cost and aro gotten up in very tasty fashion. They are being mailed out over the county and patrons of this i/jpular store may obtain one by call ing at the store. Thc only way to get business during the present depres sion, say Anderson business men, is by going after it. Interesting Tax Question Is l p. A. W. Jones, Comptroller General of South Carolina, has noticed an inter .sting phase of the tax situation in Anderson. Discussing the question yesterday ono of the court house of ficials said that the law prescribes thu*, city taxes shall bo collected ac cording to thc books in the of flee of the auditor, but the city has never fol lowed this pian and has made up lta| own books. If the ctiy should follow the books In the office of the auditor, then city taxes would probably be paying during some other month of the year than ls at presr.nt the case. It ls not known what will be done about tho matter, if anything. -o Serious Affair Esl Greenwood. Word reached Anderson yesterday to the effect that W. C.

FIRST DAY'S SESSION OF GRIMINAL GOORI ONE MURDER CASE DISPOS ED OF YESTERDAY WAS "NOT GUILTY" Crowd Herc for First Day of Gen eral Sessions Was Smaller by Far Than Usual. The most notable fact In connection with tho first day's session of the No vember terma of criminal court for Anderson county was the absence of tho usual large-first-day court crowd. Quite a number of people were in the city but nothing like as many peoplo Were seen in the court room when the hour arrived for opening as is usually the case. Judge R. Wi .hers is presiding while Solicitor Kurt? P. Smith, Stenograph er C!vde Brillit and the other court officials are .Ml n their proper placea. During the day tho Grand Jury re turned a number of indictments, the majority belu?; for offenses of a minor nature. In the case of Besaio Cleve land, a negro woman, charged with shooting and killing Harry Boston, another negro, no bill was returned. It was stated in the evidence that the man was advancing on the woman with a shot gun when she fired the fatal shot. The first case taken up yesterday was that of Will Garrison, charged with shooting and killing Will or "Bunk" Hail. This wash row about a; woman and took place several months ago on People's now iu Ande.-suu. The jury deliberated for only a short time and returned a verdict ot not guilty. Clarence Johnson, charged with as sault and battery with intent to kill, was tried yesterday afternoon In one case and a verdict returned of guilty ot assault and battery. There Is a second case under the same charge against Johnson. The negio was? brought to Anderson from Townvllle a few days ago, charged with-shooting a shot gun through an open door, two negro women being wounded. Just before the first day's session ajourned for the day last night, Mace McCracken, a. negro, entered a plea of guilty to the charge of violating the liquor laws. It is presumed that the first case to be called today wm be that of Clar ence Johnson and when that ls con cluded lt Is probable that the case Ot R. L.

Qa., but one or che buyers remarked that this waa like all other Georgia producta-it ia possible to get more for ono wish in South Carolina than lt ls for two in Geor gia. ? . -o Awaiting Action With Much Interest Almost everyone in Anderson coun ty ls awaiting with decided' interest the report ot tho special commute of the grand Jury appointed to investi gate into conditions on the Savannah riv.jr as a result of the dam at Port man Shoals, lt ls generally believed that the county will leave this matter to the National government to decide, while others say that the explanation wilt be found by the building of a bridge across the river. If the latter plan should be Mowed lt is possible that Hart county, Georgia, would pay one-third, Anderson county pay one third, and possibly the power company would pay the other third. Such a bi idge would coat in the neighborhood of $40,000. Christmas Seals Placed ea Sale. WAV tha Ara?
