Tuesdays Municipal Election.

The special election held yesterday on
the questions of issuing $1,000 in bonds
for school purposes and the surrender of
the old town charter and accepting new
and more liberal charter provided by
the statutory law for towns Of
over thousand inhabitants, was quiet,
only small vote was cast. The result
was as follows: Yea No
To issue bonds. ....... %. 90. 40 7
10 surrender old charter. ..... AZ s
BY this election tho citizens have given
their endorsement to both propositions
and tho questions are settled. If there
were citizens who wished to protest
against either proposition, their oppor-
tunity was at the ballot box. We take
it, however, that tho unanimity with
which the votes pollod were cast for both
propositions is as clear q sign of general
satisfaction as if the full voting strength
had been polled. Had there been any
great opposition to the measures their
opponents would have come to tho polls
and voted "No." The silence OF those
who failed to vote must be taken as an
indication of endorsements.
We believe both measures will be pro-
ductive of great good to Walhalla. She
is pushing forward with that steady, sub
stantial growth that counts for much in
tho making of place. Lot evory oitizon
stand ready to assist in every possible
way all efforts in advancement oi the
towns interests.

Capt. Courteuay Is cotton mill man
and capitalist, besides being the repre-

he is something moro than that. He is q
patriotic Citizen and as near an ideal

Is not perfect by great deal, but he Is a
great man, he is 80 great that he can see
over and beyond tho petty selfish inter-
ests for which others of his GLASS are
oontending. There are a great many
people in South Carolina who have
wanted to see VIM. A. Courtenay Govers
nor of the State for twenty years. Under
his administration, while the truest
Democratic principles would be upheld
like the creed, there would be return

that saw William A. Courtenay in the
