I HREF CANDIDATES
FOR THE MAYORALTY
Interest in Election on the Jump-r^H
I c Meeting Suggested. XgSj
Frculi impetus was given tra
already increasing interest ii
the municipal campaign Monday
morning by the announcemeni
of Ii. C. Ferguson that he was t
candidate for mayor to succeec
Mayor I<. A. Harris, whose tern
expires in January/ Mr. Fergu
son is at present an aldermar
from WaTd 1, and is a salesmar
in the grocery of A. O. Jones. 11
is generally thought that he was
infiuencgd bv some of the young
er element of the city's voters tc
ma*ke the race for mayor ir
preference to again standing foi
the council, for which he was
suggested in one of the tickets
published last week. It is not
i - _j- - 4_ a
rviujwii, ul luur.iii, vvnat erreci
Mr. Ferguson's candidacy vvil
have on the result of the election,
but neither the friends oi
Mayor Harris nor K. Shannon,
also a candidate for the mayoralty,
seemed to be perturbed
when told of the new opposition.
There seems to be a general desire
on the part of the voters
that a meeting be held in the
town hall a few days prior to the
election, on January 10, and that
not only the candidates for mayar
but also those for aldermen be
invited to attend the meeting and
express their views on the questions
which are apt to come up
for determination affecting the
interests of the municipality
luring the next two years. It
is pointed out by those who favor
such a meeting that Fort Mill
has grown beyond the village
stage and that the people are entitled
to know, prior to the election.
the views of the various
candidates on this and that question.
"Such a meeting," said a gentleman
yesterday, "would be an
innovation in Fort Mill, to be
sure, tor heretofore the personality
of the candidates has beer
one of the largest factors in determining
the results of the
election. . and this is yet an important
consideration, of course,
but it is not tire only matter foi
the voters to take into account
in making up their tickets. Wt
wish to know what Mr. Candidate
purposes to do to help alonp
the progressive spirit which b
