BILLBOARDS WERE CALLED DISGRACE

And City Urged to Establish Cluster Lights at the Y. M. B. C. Meeting. Opposition to billboards in the business section of the city was expressed and the necessity of installing cluster lights on Main street pointed out at the December business meeting of the Young Men's Business club, held Tuesday evening in the club rooms at the Colonial building. Report3 from several committees and a discussion of projects for the new year consumed most of the time at the meeting. The club committee on securing cluster lights in front of the principal buildings in the central business section, reported it had found unanimous approval of the project among the merchants, but had been balked by having the board of public works refuse to permit the city plant to sup-, ply current for the lamps. As a consequence of its report members of the club officially instructed the committee to circulate a petition among merchants which will ask that the board of works reverse its decision. The petition will be presented with signatures between Christmas and New Tear's Day, so that the board can act on it the forst of next year. Proposition outlined. The proposition outlined Tuesday evening is to assess merchants a sum slightly over $2 a lineal foot along the front of their stores, which amount will cover the cost of buying and installing cluster light fixtures. The city then is expected to pay for the lighting and maintenance of the clusters. It was stated at the club meeting that the change of the board of works' attitude was due largely to the opposition of Mayor Zimmerman, who crltisited the merchants for not patronizing the municipal light plant. Several particularly objectionable billboards In the heart of the business section of Richmond were the cause of warm discussion by members of the Y. M. B. C. After numerous arguments had been presented by persons both approving and disapproving the use of the monster signs, the general opinion of the club was expressed as being decidedly opposed to such boards as "unsightly." Wonder was expressed that Richmond should allow such monstrosities within two Mocks of the center of the city. Members of the club stated that the city council should take action regulating public advertising in the center of the city, and instructed the club president, P. 1.4. Torrence, to appoint a committee to consider the matter with council and endeavor to get this executive body to act. To Nominate Officers. Two nominating committees, which will have charge of the choice of candi

dates for otrtce during the coming year were named sb follows (First committee) Lewis Iliff, D. 8. Coe. Wlllard

Hupe; (second committee) John Kwtssler, Walker Land, Roy Dennis. It will be the duty of each of the two bodies to nnme a ticket of officers and board of directors. Their selections will bo made public the first of the year, and the election will take place at the annuel meeting on January second. In connection with the annual meeting, the social committee was ordered to arrange the program for the event, and plan to have a smoker with refreshments following the business session at that time. Fred Lemon, Albert Gregg, and Dr. A. B. Price were chosen as a committee to draw up and send a resolution to Prank Waldele, expressing the

club's appreciation for his work In behalf of the city, and sympathy for his recent physical break-down. It was reported that a resolution regretting

the loss of Al Spekenhler to the city

had already been sent by the commit

tee appointed for that purpose. 'William Dudley Poulke, on request, made by the members Tuesday evening, will discuss the arbitration treaties with England and France now awaiting the action of the U. S. senate, at the annual meeting.

Investigation of the insane question, as it pertains to the confinement of dangerously demented women at the Home for Friendless without proper guard, and the jail as a proper place of confinement for habitual drunkards, and punishment for other offenders, will be the most important matters to the county at large likely to come before the grand jury, which was assembled Wednesday. It is probable that in the probe of conditions at the jail, the question will be raised by the jury as to whether it affords correctional benefits and if it is not an expensive method. Charles W. Jordan, secretary of the Commercial Club, and an advocate of reform in correctional institutions by the establishment of county or district farms, where offenders will serve and work out sentences, will be foreman of the jury. The other members include Isaac Dougan, Millard W. Brumfleld, Charles Staats, Sanford Eliason and Dan Clevenger. In his instructions relative to the insane question the court instructed the jury as follows: "As is well known it is the duty of the state to care for those of her citizens who are insane. A number of asy

lums have been prepared for this purpose, but they are inadequate on account of the great number of insane ' persons there 1b in the state and this j number is increasing at an alarming j ratio. It is likewise well known, that j frequent persons who become insane j are dangerous, and for this reason , must necessarily be restrained or con- j fined. If a person is adjudged to be dangerous and insane, such person, as j a rule, Is committed to jail and thus passes into the custody of the sheriff, '

who is responsible for his or her own safekeeping. In order that the sheriff may properly care for the insane who are placed in his custody, he should be provided with proper facilities for that purpose. Greatly to the credit of the county commissioners, there is now being prepared a ward in connection with the county Jail where insane males can be comfortably supported separate and apart from other persons who are committed to the jail as crim

inals. There is, however, no appropri- !

ate place at the county jail for keeping insane females, and for this reason they have been and are now committed to the Home of the Friendless where they, as circumstances now are, cannot be properly care dfor without casting on the managers of the Home burdens that they ought not to bear without being properly compensated therefor. 1 suggest that before you

adjourn you carefully Investigate fhisi

matter and make such recommendations in the premises as will, in your judgment, meet the necessities of the

case to the end that the unfortunate

women in question may be properly

cared for.

(National News Association) BRICEVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 13 Hope of rescuing alive any more of the miners entombed in the Cross Mountain mine, by an explosion, Saturday, were practically abandoned today after vain efforts of rescuers all night long to run down messages scrawled in the walls of one of the remote workings. It was said today that many of these messages were found in many places, and that investigation had practically shown that all were written by one party of men who were driven from place to place by the deadly gases. Probably all of them perished. Thirty-eight bodies have been found up to an early hour today, five of them still in the mines. The bodies of seven men found yesterday, indicated that all had been killed by the dreaded black damp.

COURT HOLDS THE ' DAMAGES TOO MUCH Excessive damages were awarded by the petit jury to Ott E. Hoffman in the opinion of Judge Fox of the circuit court and on Tuesday he ordered that unless the injured man consented to a reduction of the verdict against the Pennsylvania railroad company from $5,000 to $3,500 the corporation's motion for a new trial would be honored.

Clinton, Miss. "Thanks to Cardui," writes Mrs. Lena Gresham, of this place, "I have been greatly relieved." "I suffered for three years from female inflammation, and had taken medicine from four different physicians without much benefit. "I have received more benefit from seven bottles of Cardui, than from all the physicians." Just try Cardui. That's all we ask. It speaks for itself. It has helped so many thousands, it must be able to help you. Trying Cardui won't hurt you. It is safe, harmless, gentle in action, and purely vegetable. If you are weak, tired, down and out, try Cardui. If you are sick, miserable, and suffer from womanly pains, like headache, backache, dragging feelings; pains in side, arms, legs, etc. try Cardui. It is the medicine for all women. It is the tonic for you. N. B. Write to: Ladies" Advisory Dept., Chatuooosa Medicine Co.. Chattanooga. Tenn., lor Sp;c Instructions, and64-p3 hor.(;.
