EXTENDING FIRE LOUTS.
Committee o? Public Works Will Rec?
ommend Extension on Main- Street
and Stricter Regulations. *"
At the next meeting of the city
council Chairman R. F. Haynsworth
of the Committee of Public Works,
?will recommend that the fire district
of the city be extended from their
present limits on Main street to Bart?
lett street south and Calhoun street
on the north. No change will be
made on the eastern and western
boundaries for the present. The re?
port will also contain a recommenda?
tion that the erection of iron clad
frame buildings within the fire district
be forbidden in future and that only
brick or stone buildings be permitted
hereafter within the first district.
This action of Mr. Haynsworth was
influenced by a case that came before
bim yesterday. The police stopped
?work on an iron clad frame building
which is being erected within the fire
district and the matter was referred
to the committee of Public Works.
After an investigation the committee
decided that , inasmuch as similar
buildings had been erected within the
fire limits from time to time for a
number of years it would not be fair
to stop work on this building. ,
If these more rigid regulations to
be recommended are adopted, as they
probably will be, the erection of fire?
traps in the business portion of the
city will be prohibited.
The proposed regulations are both
wise and timely and will result in the
-erection of a better class of buildings
and diminish the danger from fire.
HIS WIFE'S MONEY.
Israel Moses Made the Police Think
He Was a 3Iillionaire.
From * the, Daily Item June 2S.
It is a dangerous thing for a poor
man to spend money lavishly, and Is?
rael Moses, colored, discovered yester?
day that it don't pay. Israel is just
an ordinary negro and has never had
enough money to blow the town,
therefore when he started out on a
spending expedition and displayed a
roll he fell under suspcion. He was
gathered in by the- police and asked to
explain, Chief Bradford haying an
idea that Israel had found a purse
containing a considerable sum of
money which Mr. Ed Jenkins lost a
few days ago. Israel explained sever?
al times, but neither of the explan
tions was satisfactory. As a result of
the investigation it was ascertained
that Israel had confiscated and ap?
propriated to his own use about $25
belonging.to his wife without her i
knowledge or consent. When the
fact became known to Recorder Hurst
be took charge of the money found on'
Israel's person and Veturned it to
Israel's wife who rejoiced with an
exceeding great joy that the lost had
been .found. Israel had spent but a
lew dollars, having been pulled before
be had gotten well started on his
spree.

A DOG INQUEST.
Coroner Flowers anti Deputy Sheriff
Gaillard Make a Long Trip.
From the Daily Item June 29.
Yesterday morning the negroes on
County Supervisor Seale's place creat?
ed a sensation and caused Coroner
Flowers and Deputy Sheriff Gaillard
to take a long, useless and fatigueing
trip to Gaillard's X Roads.
When the negroes were going to
work they passed a house that had
been occupied until a few days ago by
a negro woman. In passing they de?
tected a very offensive odor which
appeared to come from the house.
They peeped through a crack and saw
a body lying on the floor, and with?
out stopping to make a closer inves?
tigation ran to Mr. W. J. Seale and
told him there was a dead baby in
the house. He notified Magistrate L.
R. Williamson, who advised him to
call up Coroner Flowers and Deputy
Sheriff Gaillard and tell them to ar?
rest the woman who had been living
in the house, she having moved to
this city and then to come up and hold
an inquest The woman could not be
found, so without losing time -n
searching for her Coroner Flowers
and Mr. Gaillard procured a buggy
and set out for Gaillard's X Roads to
hold the inquest. When they arrived
they proceeded to the house and
found that the corpse was not a baby,
but a small dog. Xo inquest was held.
The question now is, who will pay the
expenses ?>f J.e trip?

?The average man does not save to

He must spend $9 in living expenses j

like buying seeds for his garden, will |
save several dollars outlay later on. j
