A Signal victory.

The election OF Mayor and City
Counciimen for the new Snow Hill ON
Monday last, the large vote cast in
favor of Water Works and the small
vote against this enterprise was signal
victory for the progressive element OF
our town. Notwithstanding the claim
Of few, that majority Of our people
were opposed to putting in Water
Works, the ticket named by those in
favor of putting them in was not
opposed, although every man an the
ticket favored the enterprise Another
opportunity was offered those who
opposed the Water Works enterprise
To show their opposition bv having
printed ON the ticket for" and against
Water Works so that voters could vote
as they desired ON this question without
effecting the balance OF the ticket. The
result of the election showed that the
highest vote received by any of the
candidates was only go, the lowest
255; while the number Of votes east
for Water Works was 223 and the
number against Water Works 80,
showing that the ratio of people in
Snow Hill who favor Water Works is
about q to !. This is what we have
claimed all the time, and in considera.
ton Of this demonstration ON the part
of the people there should he no question
as TO when the enterprise should be
commenced. The newly elected officers
are not only authorized by the Legis-
lature TO bond the town for an amount
sufficient to give us good water supply
but the people have sealed this act Of
the Legislature by large majority
vote in its favor. and have unanimously
decided with whom to trust the work.
We congratulate the people upon their
choice of representatives and the officials
upon the confidence reposed in them by
their fellow townsmen. We hope that
no time will he lost but that the will Of
the people to have Water Works may
he put into execution rs speedily as
possible. The ticket which follows was
the only one in the field and the mum
Der of votes received by each OF the
candidates as well as those for and
against Water Works as shown is
correct.

Mr.. John James Collins, another
representative of the people. and a
man who is alive to the interest OF his
constituents. is not only progressive
but popular as is evidenced by the
large vote he received. To his credit
il NAV be said that he has done more
to build up Snow Hill than any other
one man, so much 50 indeed that he
is noted for his building proclivities.
Especially since the fire, he has man
ifested a desire to build up the
town In addition to property already
owned by him he has purchased sew
eral building lots, and will soon have
five new brick store houses completed
costing, including land, an average OF
over 50 10000 each. Until recently
he has been engaged in the mill and
lumber business here. His mill was
destroyed by fire in April, since which
time he has been too busily engaged
in other work to decide upon rebuild
ing.
