HUSKEY 10 LEDGER MAN ^ E, ■ ■ ■■ TALKS POLITICS WHILE IN THE CITY. Wjlj Doubtless Run For House in the Coming Campaign—Will Not Pub lish Platform. (By Brian Bell.) Hoo. Kimsey O. Hu^iey will be a candidate for the Legislature from Oherokee countv in the coming elec tion this summer. This is the sub stance of a conversation that Mr. Huskev had with the writer while he wa« in the city Saturday. Mr. Hus key is still engaged in school work at Pleasant Grove, from which point The ledger has received sev eral very interesting and instructive letters for publication. The coming campaign has been quite generally discussed and commented .upon re cently. As th*. date for the opening of hostilities draws nearer and looms up not »o very far in tb" distance, the candidates who will probably compose the personnel of the office- seekers have naturally come in for a generous portion of disc ission. Mr. Huskey's can'didacy has apparenijy been a matter of some conjecture; and those who seemed in a position to know have stated that it was very doubtful if he would make the race. However, Mr. Husky stated to "he writer that he had had an idea of running for some time and it could be considered Probable that he would run. In response to enquiries as to bis personal opinion as to the liveli ness of the campaign and the excite ment to be derived from it, Mr. Hus key replied that of course it was yet tss early to make any definite fore cast in that direction, but he saw no reason for any especial degree of in terest to be injected into the cam paign. He also stated, that the-o will teffbtless be no lack of competition, wfttfsh. In his opinion, is an essential matter and a point to be welcomed as productive of good. The race will no d*«bt be a warm one and interest Is at a verr high pitch and if Mr. Huskey essays the race the writer feels war ranted in making the statement that ae is sure to make his presence felt. His name is already largely before tb« public and he possess the quali ties necessary to make what is to say tbe least, a coveted position—«. suc cessful politician. Mr Huskey states positively that he will not publish a nlatform this vear. He did so last year basing it on his rail-splitting re* cord and producing a most interest- in® and readable document and one that caught the popular and almost universal favor. Either the platform in its entirety or extracts from it were published to quite an extent throughout’ the entire United States. On<» of the most notable publications voluntec'ing extensive comment be ing the New York Sun. Mr. Huskey’s course will" be watched with interest by the large number who are intense ly interested. It is safe to state that he can number admirers from Mon treal to Mexico. “CITY FATHERS” IN SESSION. Called Meeting of City Council to Con sider Matters of Local Interest (By Brian Bell.) A special meeting of the cltv coun cil was called Saturday aftemopn in the council chamber at the city hall, to consider matters of importance that claimed the consideration of that, body. The mayor, clerk and al' aider- men were in attendance promptly and the business was soon dispatch ed. The point principally involved and the one that had attention first was rather a novel one. Mr. J. Eb Jefferies, one of the owners of the building occupied by the Palmetto House appeared and pnayej that as the Palmetto House is a dollar a day house; and In one sense rather a boarding house, that the license for hotels which is twenty-five dollars per year be exempted in this case and, as is above stated, that his place be ing a dollar a day house, he nor have to pay the license of twenty-five dol lars collected from the regular two dollar per day houses, but rather half ~ sum. The stand taken by the^gen tlemen composing the board of “city fathers” was that the point to be con sidered were whether or not the house in question is to he classed as a boarding house or hotel. If the for mer, the license should be five dol lars. If the, latter, then the regular amount for hotels would be compell ed to stand. The latter course was taken as it was established that re presentatives of the establishment met trains soliciting and catering to the tride which action the council construed as making the “House” a hotel. The regular license of twen ty-five dollars, therefore, will be re quired. While the council was in ses sion the mayor called their attention to th- fact that a representative of a carnival company was in the city and desired permission to pitch the tents of the attraction and secure a license. Mr. Little, the mayor, is on record as being heartily opposed to these aggregations, it being a note worthy fact that during a former ad ministration he was successful in re fusing admittance to a single carni val. He laid the present situation be fore the present council Saturday af ternoon and submitted the Question of license for the carnival or no license for It, to the aldermen. The vot* was very heavy against KU ffffrAlval ent Ing the city. The mayor took occas ion to express his views on the mat ter, at which time, members of the council arose to state that they were emphatically of the same opinion in regard to street shows and affairs of the same ilk and that they would vigorously opposed anv action allow ing any of them to enter the city. This was all that was actively dis posed of at this call meeting. In expectation of a regular meeting of the body on Friday evening, sugges tions were made relative to certain investigations being made before the dale and the result made known to the 1 council at that meeting. The next meeting of the council at the INSANE WOMAN RE-COMMITTED. Woman Adjudged Insane Uaet Week Again Lodged in Prison. Another chapter was added to the deplorable Insane woman incident, of last week when the woman was brought to the cltv Sunday bv Officer Godfrey, of Cowpens. and re-Incarcer- ated In the city prison and later com- mitted to the county jail. An account of the first arrest and of her apparent condition at that time was published in The Ledger of Friday, but on Fri day morning .she seemed restored to her right senses and as her mother, who" resides at Cowpens, thought that she could, with care, completely restore her, the officials committed her to the care of the mother and she was taken to Cowpens. However, as above stated, she grew violently In sane again on Sunday and Officer Godfrey of Cowpens. brought her to Gaffney. Her condition is nitiable and excited much sympathy when she* was seen, being conveyed from one prison to the other. She was on the verge of becoming very violent on this occasion as she was able to bite quite a large hole in the coat of Officer Lemmons, of the local police force. The thickness of the officer’s clothes prevented serious injury re sulting from the act on the nan of the lunatic, h was stated in the pre vious account appearing in these col umns that the unfortunate woman’s name was Mrs. Myrtle Huntsinger, such being the information she gave The Ledger representative, however it is now stated that her name is Mrs. Mary Huntsinger. She will have me dical attention at once and will no doubt be sent to the asylum for the insane at Columbia as it can be read!" ly seen that the derangement is serious and requires skilled attention.
