lola had the hottest city election. Monday
that city ever saw. II is estimated that no
less than 5000 was spent on it. The result
is something similar to what Moran has
had, but got ashamed of and quit. Some of
the lola citizens will be ashamed Of IT, too
ere another -SdUOnbuTg Netcs.
1t is ali right about the hot fight
But cut your 5000 to $50 and you will

At the lola election municipal ownership
Of the gas utility was defeated, but the REG
IsTER fails TO give the vote on the PROPOSE
ton, although il was the most important
issue before the people. and the only one
outsiders were Interested ink. C. star.
There was no proposition whereby
the electors voted directly for or
against municipal ownership 1t was
simply made an issue in the regular
city election, one ticket standing for
city ownership and the other against
it. The REGISTER therefore reported
the result fully and properly when it
stated that the majority against the
city ownership ticket was 80.

There are going to be lots of new
people ia lola this spring and summer
who will locate here if they like the
looks OF the town. And nothing will
go as far toward making them like
our looks as fresh paint. We are Use
to the spIts on our complexion and
don't notice them But go about
town with your eyes open once IS a
stranger would and see how paint
would help things. If every house in
town could be fresh painted this
spring II would add ten per cent u
the value IF every piece OF property ia

house painting crusade. and make il
a fad So that every body will get at it?
When there is a cyciOue anywhere

There are three or four men in this
town whom che REGISTER has men
toned frequently and always in terms
of praise and good will. And vet for
the past week these men have said
everything they could think of to in
lure this paper, and have filled the
air full of threats of the dire VEN
geance they are going TO wrcak upon
it,-all because il expressed its honest
opinions aud made a straight, open
and above board fight for what it
thought WAS right. We shoald think

1t is hard 70 understand how men can
bring themselves tn say harsh and
bitter and untrue things against one
from whom they have never received

Life is too short Ia he spent in quar-
