To the Editor Of the TINES:
George Bate, has been a policeman In
Johnston twenty.nine years, and his
presence In the Manton section of the
town has contributed largely TO the good
order for which tho place Is noted. In
this respect Msnton may challenge com.
psrison with Thornton or any other
place. Everybody knows and likes the
genial George" who, without offensive
show Of authority ha. a vigIlant eye, and
when occasion requires a strong right
arm and a heavy hand. We all know
him as a faithful. efficient and popular
officer and naturally, when recently some.
thing appeared In the Bulletin In relation
10 Sunday l'quor-selling which inferen.
italy reflected upon his vigilance, his
neighbos ielt like resenting II.
Now the Manton saloons. however
Objectionable saloons are n public In.
sututlon,, are 10 outward appearances
orderly places, and TO those who keep
ou, Of them they do not give special
offence. II was ,aid, however, that on q
recent Sunday an officer entered a Msnton
saloon and ,aw evidence OF Sunday
liquor selling. But aimee one or two
court days have since pasted without
prosecution, let us hope the statement
was mistake; but if true and conducted
a, secretly az not 10 attract attention II
might sometimes escape the vigilance Of
Officer Bates. However the Msnton
people cannot eountenance Insinu,tions
that our eh lent local policeman 30
long and favorsbly known, has been
d.rileei In his duty. .-Ob,erver.
Manton, Mar. 50.
