CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Few Important Matters Come up at
Session Held laist Night.
City Council held a regular meet?
ing last night with Mayor Jennings
ahsent. There were no matters of
considerable importance taken up,
and few matters were acted on at the
session.
Mr. A. S. Merrlmon requested per?
mission to move a building from the
corner of Sumter and Hampton A\e
nue to North Church s? ct, saying
lhat he had purchased thv structure
with the understanding with Mr. Jen?
nings that he would be allownd to
move it. Council postponed action
until they had visited the scene and
Investigated more thoroughly into
what was to be done in the removal
of the building.
Mr. Ray Schwartz appeared on be?
half of Messrs. Cyril Schwartz and
Norman Chandler. He stated that on
the night of February 28th they had
run into a rope across the street at
the corner of Salem and Liberty
streets, that there was no light and
both were hurt. They asked that pay?
ment be mado for the damages they
had sustained and for injuries in?
curred. It was stated that the Sim
mons-Mayrant Company had agreed
to abide by the decision of Council in
the matter, they being in charge of
the work and it being alleged that the
accident was due to their negligence.
Action was postponed until a full
meeting of Council.
An application from the Consoli?
dated Insurance Agency that they be
allowed to operate during 1917 on the
license taken out In 1916 was refused.
It was stated that after paying the li?
cense the companies withdrew from*
the State in 1916, after two months
operation. The companies are now
returning to the State to resume op?
erations, after a year's absence. Coun?
cil did not deem it any fault of the
city's that the companies withdrew,
regarding it as a voluntary act on
their part, and decided that they
must pay the license for 1917 to op?
erate here.
Bids for repairs on the opera
hoi so were received from J. M. Harby
and R. L. Scaiffc, but no action was
taken, as they were not on the same
busts and Council wanted bids on sim- 1
liar conditions.
A request was made by Ducker &
nuh man that repairs be made in the 1
loor of their store. The City Man- I
iger recommended that a new floor !
be laid in the store, but it was de?
cided not to do this work just at pres- I
ant, although the store was assured
that it would be done during the
summer.
Attention was called to the fact j
that thero were a large number of i
delinquent water subscribers, who had j
fallen behind becauso of the paving
work last year. Council directed I
that another notice be published call?
ing on delinquents to pay up these
bark dues, or their water would be
shut off on April 1.
The matter of bricks having been
placed in manholes by workmen for
the street paving contractors was
brought up and Maj. Leo was in?
structed to inspect all of the man?
holes and flush tanks thoroughly bo
foro the contractors left and final pay?
ment was made for the paving.
The clerk was instructed to in?
vestigate to ascertain If thero was
any way of securing cheap insurance
on tho Carnegie library.
Tho library report showed r> r, r,
books loaned in February. The num?
ber of new members secured through
the month was placed at 28, making
a total membership of 810.
The police report showed 4 0 arrests
In February; 4 dismissed; 1 transfer?
red, 1 not guilty; cash lines, $251.54;
62 days, making a total of $263.94.

NIX, HOES HAVE XAliKOW ES?
CAPE.
Several Bruised When Automobile
Runs into Train.
What came very near death to sev?
eral negroes occurred Monday night
at the Sumter street crossing, v. hen
a Ford automobile driven by Marion
Hunter ran against a freight train
and the -occupants of the car were
thrown out and the car carried for
some distance by the train before it
was thrown off to one side, practical?
ly demolished. The negroes were con?
siderably bruised, but were glad to
get off alive, although it was a very
narrow escape for them. Marion
Hunter, who was driving tho car,
which was owned by Ed Davis .oi
orcd, probably sustained the most in?
juries, but his hurts were not se?
rious.
Hunter states that ho stopped when
he saw the train approaching and
waited until the engine and box cars
passed. There was another *auto
mobile standing across the track also
waiting to pass, and this so blinded
Hunter that he thought that the en?
tire train had passed and he started
his car to cross the track. However,
there were a number of ilat cars at?
tached to the traj i and, blinded by
the light from the lamps of the other
car, he ran into the flat cars, the col
losion resulting.
