WHO IS AT FAULT?
We hear considerable complaint about the
sanitary condition Of Factory Hill, side
walks, bridges, eic. The question Is asked by
the employees OF the Cotton Mill: "Why
should they not have the benefit OF Just as
good sidewalks and bridges as are built In
the north, east and western portions OF the
city? II the health OF their little community
is endangered for the want OF q more perfect
sanitary system, then sickness will be the re-
suit just as certainly as anywhere else In the
city, and perhaps malignant fevers will be-
come epidemic throughout the entire city.
We mention these facts as given us by those
interested and on behalf Of the mill people,
believing that those In authority will look al.
ter the interests Of all our citizens without
discrimination.
