EDITOR DAILY RECoRD:-
In behalf of a class of citizens
that are built very much on the
same plan as [ am, | wish to call
the attention of those that have
proper authority about certain
things that are allowed to be
maintained on Main street and
| understand are contrary to
the laws that regulate town of
Roswell Two nights ago | was
walking up Main street towards
the post Office at an ordinary
rate of speed and all of sudden
my head came in contact with
something very hard and knock
ed off my hat. The blow was
severe and nearly dropped me
on my knees. If it had not been
for a heavy soft felt hat | was
wearing my head would. have
been cut. This took place in
front of the meat market. / can
not understand why awnings
are left down at night. In the
day time pedestrians look out
for such things. The awning in
front of the post Office and one
or two farther up, have a sort
of curtain that hangs down and
strikes pedestrians in the face.
A tall man must stoop or get
his face rubbed, or perhaps his
hat knocked off.
There is the step ON the side
walk near the First National
Bank that is very annoying, es-
pecially to ladies with baby car
riages. 1t is not an ordinary
step like one people are in the
habit OF taking, therefore they
are liable to make miscalcula-
tions and an accident will pos
sibly result. Suppose some one
unwittinglygoes farther south on
Main street and INDUCES in GER
beverages that that are licensed
to be sold in town, and the bev-
erage proves to be stronger than
the mans mind and disarranges
his whole system SO that he sees
things double or scarcely sees at
all. but still be ableto navigate,
when everything is in an ordi-
nary way until he comes to this
fatal spot. Then it would be a
broken arm or leg and it certain
" would be a case for damages,
as everything was in accordance
with law, but the STEP.
l read in The DAILY RECORD
that a certain class of offenders
against the town laws are to be
taken to the police court and
fined right along. Why not ap-
ply the same rule to all offend
ers. Let me suggest to those in
authority that they take q line
and do a little measuring and
-
see if my statements are not cor.

Poisoned bv Sardines

Word comes from Myrtle that some
days ago Archie Bashor and John and
Chester Glasby were near deaths door.
This was the effect of poison in can of
sardines. The boys opened can of sar.
dimes Tor lunch at Mr.. Glasby's store in
Myrtle and all partook freely. Soon
after Mr.. Bashor started home. AT a
point near w. w. Glasby's home he fell
in the road and was unable to proceed
further until morning when he was
found. He threw MP all the food in his
stomach. Callers at the store found both
OF the Glasby boys in critical condition
and brought them swift aid or it is
thought they would have died in few
nours. At the present time John Glasby
IS not entirely out OF danger but the
other two have almost recovered. II Is

This honor comes to me entirely I'M
solicited and expected by me, but since
the people of Lewiston have entrusted
me with the Office. | will attempt to
give my assistance in carrying out every
thing that will lend TO the advancement
OF the city. believe in perfecting what
is now under way before taking up any
thing new. A city to grow permanently
must grow slowly and surely. We can
not attempt great many things at once
and hope to proceed without delay some
of them. The old laying that if you put
too many irons in the fire you burn,
some applies in municipal as we'll as in
every day work. We should aim, how
ever, to keep things in line with the pro-
gress 1t the preceding administration.
Inc pubic library, supreme court build
ing and such undertaking need our con-
stant attention, the city park aud boule-
ward need 10 be made beautiful and
attractive. Stree aud sewer improve
ment should pr coed along conservative
lines The water problem is the most
vital at this lime and require our most
careful consideration So much is neces-
sarilly connected with the water system
that 1t should receive prompt and efficient
attention do not wish to be under
stood as criticizing the present status of
affairs but realizing that my position is
properly administrative and advisory,
hope to unite my efforts with those
