To The Editor of The Neacs:

To the Editor of The News:
DEAR SIR: In considering the future o
Mount Holly it seems that benefit will
accrue from attracting new Industries anC
enterprises which can be induced to 10
cate here by reason of favorable consid
erations and an assurance OF fair and lib
! eral treatment by the people of the town
Capital will not venture where there II
not an opportunity for fair return on thu
investment, and if such investors see tina
the people of the town are Jealous of any
success, and will seek to nullify it by i'm
position or ruinous competition, such in
vestors will not venture here. The new
enterprise which is designed to aDtago
nize the Mount Holly Water Company
will, il is generally conceded, introduce {
ruinous competition which will result il
the ABSORPTION of one company by thu
other, at considerable loss and expense tt
both, and final increase ofstock and ex
| penses.
The present Water Company has en-
deavored to keep pace with the needs o
| the town, and within a few years has ex
pended considerable money in order to
furnish water in greater abundance and o
better quality to the consumers.
All complaints are referred to a com
mittee, which endeavors to settle differ
ences in a manner satisfactory to all
! What better promise can new company
give which will attract the support OF the
people from an enterprise, which in time
past, has been of great good and conve
nience to the town, and the development
of which insures more in the future.
Yours truly,
G. w. Brown.

The case of the State against Walter
Curtis, of Jacobstowu, charged with and
convicted of keeping disorderly house in
that place, has been taken to the Supreme
Court upon writ of error, by his counsel,
jacob G. Hendrickson. Curtis was SEN

He gave bail in the sum of $1,000, pending
the decision Of the higher court. The
rule is made returnable in June. The
