Loud cotnplulnt I* made over the Ab sence of benches In the various street parks. It was first thought that thoy were removed by the city force, but this turns out to be wrong, ttupt. Cal laway saying yesterday that they had not been removed by him. It Is possible that some of the boys who have been making raids on the back premises of the stores aad any other placa they And a box for material for their bonfires, have spirited tho benches away. These benches have been used for tho most part by nurses with small children whose parents want them to enjoy the outdoor air and the sunshine as much us possible. In all cities where there are street parks the? children arc given full perm'sslon. when In charge of nurses, to use them dolly. They do not hurt the grass, only tho constant walking In one direct line making tho paths. Tattnall Hquaro -Is not Inviting In Its present shape and condition, Centro! City Park Is too far away for these children, and they have only the little perks throughout the city, and they are now up In arms against the remov al of the benches. If the boys have taken them away, they should bo made to return them, Is whnt tho parents of the children say, and they say U out loud. “Clinchfleld—the Coal of Quality."

District Passenger AcenL VETERANS MUST MAKE THEIR APPLICATIONS IF THEY WANT TO SELL NEAR- BEER, JUST AS ALL OTHER PERSONS MUST DO. The decision of the recorder was handed down yesterday In the case of L. F. Cranford, a veteran, charged with violating the license ordinance by not taking out a license as a dealer in near-beer, and also for falling to make out an application to run the same a« required. Mr. Cranford, being a veteran, and holding a licence- from the ordinary, and acting upon the decision of the court of appeal* la the cage taken up from Ocilla, which was In effect that municipalities could not requite voter, a ns to pay such license, opened up a near-beer place on the corner of Mul berry and Sixth streets. He was found engaged in this business by L'censc Inspector Herrington, and summoned before the recorder. Through his at torney, Mr. Jesse Harris, he claimed this exemption. The city attorney, Mr, Charles H. Hall, contended that he violated that portion of the ordinance requiring application to be.made be fore opening up such a place., atul this was a police regulation and applied to veterans as well as to other people engaging In the near-beer business. The recorder reserved his decision un til yesterday morning. The recorder holds that Mr. Cran.- ford or any other veteran, must apply to tho mayor and council for a license the same as others, and under the cir cumstances of this particular case he would dismiss It on the application be ing made. The recorder evidently agrees with the court of appeals as to tho exemption from municipal license.

SARDINE SHORTAGE IN TKE NEAR FUTURE MAKE-BELIEVE AMERICAN DAIN TY DEVELOPS SHORT CROP ON THE MAINE COAST. PORTLAND. Me.. Dec. 21.—That delectable dainty the American sar dine, which Isn't really a sardine at all may become decidedly scarce In the near future, owing to the short age of the crop along the Maine coast where nearly all the domestic sar dines are packed. The “combine" which Is alleged to be in practical con trol of the business, and which was recently the subject of nn official In vestigation because of alleged trust- like proclivities, produced this season 22 per cent less than was anticipated, and the Independent packers also re port a shortage. This was said to bo due to differ ences with the fishermen during the early part of the season. As a result of the fAlnng off in prices offered by the trade, the pack ers he"* been storing heavily and every available storehouse was filled, but even at that there probably will be no more goods than the trade will demand this winter und next spring ns the mid-season buying was light because of the general condition of trade. The Maine Mercantile Company ex pected to pack 1,800,050 cases, but Instead produced 1.404.000 cases. Tho Independent factories packed 90,000 cases. There are 300,000 cases in storage.
