In another column will be not
ed an article from T. H. Wander
ford, which 10 deserving of tho
serious consideration of every
voter of Salisbury who favors the
proper and legal administration
of municipal affairs. Mr.. VAN
derford is not the man to make
wild, unfounded assertions :intor-
der to further his own interests in
the matter of his candidacy for
the Office of mayor. What he
says in the article referred to, is
said quietly, deliberately, and
withal, very plainly. He says he
will make no assertion regarding
eity affairs which cannot be sup
ported by proof which practically
amounts to demonstration. True,
he does not say this in his arti-
Gle, but he has said so publicly
and those who know him will give
him credit for the ability to do
just as he promises. Moreover,
Mr.. Vanderford is in a position
to know whereof he speaks. He
calls attention in a forcible man.
ner to certain Irregularities which
have taken place in the past. and
it is the knowledge of the very
things which cause 10 many citi-
zens to insist that there should be
a change in the Office of mayor.
While there are number of IT.
regularities which may not be
known and understood in all their
details, yet enough is known to
satisfy people that there is some-
thing radically wrong somewhere.
Mr.. Vanderford will make it a
point to supply the needed de-
tails as the campaign progresses.
But we must not anticipate. The
matters to which Mr.. Vanderford
now calls attention are of much
Importance and they cannot be
thrust to one side in this cam
paign. These statements of Mr..
Vanderford must be met squarely
and satisfactorily dlsproved, or
else citizens at large will DO JUS
tiAed in the assumption that they
are true. And if they arr true,
as citizens are thoroughly salts
fed they are then it seems a self
evident proposition, that. for the
good Ct the people, for the best
interests of the city, for the sake
Of Truth. honesty, justice and
square dealing, q change of adj

As may be see in another COL
ann, tho case of the State against
the Bradys, for a murderous as
sault upon John Owens, has been
settled and the defendants are
now free men. We don't want to
eriticise any one, but remembering
the circum stances Of the assault,
and calling to mind the tact that
he will never recover from his in
iuries, We feel that we must con-

Since our friend W. T. Bost

The great trouble with our con-
temporary, the Charlotte News, is
that its egotistical and fanatical
worship of it's own views obscures
its vision of higher and nobler
things. We understand and en-
dorse the necessity for the proper
care and training of children, but
because we think this should be
done by the more tender care of
the childs' parents, instead of the
State in a stockade, it is no indi-
cation that we oppose any worthy
and helpful institution that this
age of good fellowship makes a
necessary part OF every humane
citizens privileges and pleasures.
The fact is our fight has been for
such higher ideals than those Of
the News that it does not realize
to what depths it has fallen.

SEWER DISCUSSED
Ways and Means of Securing
Right of Way for 100000
Improvement Considered
AT MEETING OF COUNCIL
Proposition to Be Taken Up Again in
Committee of Whole-Water Bills
Are Referred.

AT the regular meeting of the city
council last evening, ways and means
in connection with the necessity of
crossing a considerable amount of pri-
vate property with the Seventh ward
sewer system, which it is hoped can
be commenced next spring, occupied
the attention of the aldermen for some
time. J. +. Lewis, together with Hon.
William McEniry as his legal adviser,
was present and addressed the coun-
Gil on the proposition made by Mr..
Lewis and J. l.. Hagaman, relative to
a right of way across their property
for an outlet for the system. The city
engineer stated that the city will have
about 23.00G yards of dirt from the eX-
cavation of the Seventh ward paving
Improvement to be made next year,
and that of this about 1900 might be
used for filling Thirty-sixth street, as
is desired by Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Haga-
man. The city engineer estimates that
this filling would cost the city over
$4,000
In addition TO this, the two prop
erty owners ask the city to vacate the
stub end of Sixth avenue near their
property. There are objections to this,
however, by abutting property owners.
Claims Fair Exchange.
Mr.. McEpiry, speaking for Mr.. Lew
is, stated that it is estimated that over
$4,000 yards of dirt will be required to
bring the property and the street in
the city, in placing some $4,000 yards
of dirt there, is doing but small por-
ton of the necessary work, while in
exchange for this the city secures be
sides the right of way considerable
more taxable property, a new street,
and the filling of an unsightly hole
along what. is certain to be the main
thoroughfare between Rock Island and
Moline.
In Other Places.
The council did not seem disposed to
take action on the matter at once, but
at the suggestion of the city attorney
and the mayor. that the work must be
taken up at once if it is to be placed
in readiness for work in the spring
the aldermen decided to go into the
whole matter at a committee of the
whole meeting to be held Thursday
evening.
