THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUX-TELEGRAM, 3IONDAY, JANUARY 25, 190&. FAVOR BEIEHIIOrJ Of COUNTY COUNCIL Officers of Wayne County Opposed to Bill Which Would Eliminate This Board. Wednesday 9 jam.

Wayne county officials believe in the retention of the county council as a sagacious movement. A bill now Is before the legislature which if passed
would abolish the county councils.
The bill is said to be backed by some
legislators because of the action of the council of a county in the southern
part of the state, which refuses to ap
preciate money to build a new court
house which the commissioners want.
Under the present law the council acts as a check on the commissioners. Just the same as before the law
became effective, the county commissioners spend the money. However, they can not spend it until the council has appropriated it. For instance
a bridge can not be built unless the
commissioners recommend it and ask and receive from the council an appropriation to defray the cost as represented in the estimate. The county council fixes the tax rate, also. The Former Method. Under the old law, the commissioners went ahead and spent the money, then fixed the tax rate sufficiently high to bring about the collection of the necessary funds. This is not done now. The amount of money that will be needed to conduct the county's business is approximated and the council foots the bill. If it believes more money is being asked for than is needed, the allowances are cut down. In this county the council is a very Inexpensive organization. The members are paid about $12 per month for their services. This is not sufficiently remunerative to make the office one for seekers of political plums. MarIon county only pays the members of Its council $20 per month and the same condition prevails throughout the state.

Comprising 115,000 Worth of Gftlen's omem's amiCu hiidireini's Fine Shoes I Not rag-tag, cheap, shoddy shoes, bought for "sale purposes only," but the complete shoe stock of Edward J. Humpe, one of the cleanest shoe stocks to be found in the State, bought to be sold in the regular way by a first-class merchant, doing a splendid business and serving high class trade. REMEMBER: That we are only closing out this stock to make room for new goods. We are not going out of business. WE ARE GROWING! This is not a case of buying a so-called pair of "$1.50 shoes" at a "Fire" or "Bankrupt" Sale for "69 cents" and finding out in a short time that they're not worth 30 cents, after the party who sold them has left for pastures new. We will be right here long after these shoes have worn out, no matter how long they wear, and our same UNQUALIFIED GUARANTY goes with them as obtains in our regular trade; and we expect to hold the friendship and patronage of all of our old customers as well as our new ones by standing behind every pair of shoes we sell in this sale and making good to your satisfaction anything that doesn't prove entirely satisfactory. The Humpe Shoe stock includes such well known lines as Queen Quality and Utz & Dunn Shoes . for ladies, Nettleton's, Douglas, Heywood's and Preston B. Keith Shoes for men, and Little Wanderer Shoes for children, Ball Band Rubber and Felt Boots, etc., and they all go in at the Big Closing Out Sale prices. The Great Closing Out Sale of the Humpe Shoe Stock Begins Wednesday Morning, January 27th, 1909, and Closes Saturday, February 13th, 1909. 16 Big Bargain Days ! Every Separate Sale made during those 16 days will represont a Separate Bargain, but, as in everything else, the BEST will go FIRST. Como Early ! Store open every evening during the sale.
