Why thev in are so very much higher in our riie neighboring county than in Lanast caster we are at a loss to know, ted We fail to see why the cam 01 paign expenses should be any the ureater in one county than in in- the olher. s to A comparison of the figures in i in the two counties may be of interest to many on both sides ol to the Catawba.

Mr. E.iitor : The establishing of a dispens try in the small end of Kershaw, under all the ciicumstanoes, is an on irate, as j 1 view it Just think of it. I was voted out ot 'lie town by a nice majority and municipal ollicers put in cliarte who were expected to carry out the will | of the people and cive them a I nice, c'ean, dry tosvn. Wn.it are > the facts in the case. 1 atn in-, i formed (saw it publshed) thai j a majority, it not al!, the *4cit' ; fadieis" opposed the relorm measure and advocated the e*tabiishmemt ot the aforesaid dispensary. It seems to me the madu a ureal mislakp vipivp.' - ft ?? fr<?m any point, and 1 do hope the authorities will stop it yet The principle involved is like a man possessing a nice home on the border of his premises an<l his neighbor operating a great nuisance (and what is more than a grogshop) just at his I door. My old friend llamel, wko is on the ground, and who i.- i made of the right kind of metal I I hope will be sncccessful i' j overturning tho evil conlem ( plated. I would like to say more "along on ibis line*', but mutt I delist, as I can only write e " 'short letter and want to say at few words on other lines. I see you have a pretty good : field of candidates at last, and | you know I am always concern I ! ed and speculate as to the out > I come.
