The people of tins county are not in
any mood to be fooled by the this
old yell. They recognize that the
Amity canal and the corporation back
of it are and have been the mainstav
of the county. The prosperity Of
that corporation means the upbuild-
ing Of the whole county and its
towns. The Amity people are more
interested in Frowers county and in
having good, clean and economical
government of its comfy affnirs than
any others, and the people know it.
The Sparks cannot make the people
believe that the Amity is after any
other than the best interests of the
county. We do net know whether
the Amity people are "chaperonipgp
Mr.. Leslie or not, hut if they are it is
