t is There is a striding contrast in
pge the assessments levied on can
r in dida'es in the counties of Lan
be master and Chester. 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. Here are the as
our sessments :
no For Auditor?Lancaster. $3.;
re- Chester, $13
in- For Supervisor?Lancaster, $6.;
eld Chester, $12 50.
ices For Legislature?Lancaster. $3.;
iant Chester, $10.00.

w.il raise $200. while Lancaster
' ' will get only $G0. We do n t
t'ie mean to say that Chester's assess

iv'a | Ply struck with the fact that
tjie they are more than tliree times

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

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 (

"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.
