An official report of the proceedings
OF the county board OF Alexander
cCunty appears in The Bulletin this
morning. Ii is quite an event, worthy
OF some recognition or celebration,
fer it is many many years since a
Democratic newspaper has been the
official organ of Alexander county
The Bulletin eained this distinction
by reason of icing the lowest bidder
tor the printing. In former years, for
81 me reason, the printing was not
to be let, the board prob
ably deemine it of not sufficient i'm
portance as the county printing does
pot amount to great deal The Bul-
letin is now thu official paper of both
,ity and county being the lowest bid
Ter in both cases. The public have
,ause TO appreciate this as they are
icing saved a neat bit OF money in
he course OF the year.

1t is matter fer regret that failure
came at the last momenf, at II o'cloel,
last night, to the efforts of citizens tn
eliminate the inisrn han proposition
from the pending aldermanic contest
There are other questions of great
In po,tnnce to the community, which
must be settled right at this election
If the city is to prosper, and in the dis
cussion of which more or less feeling
is likely to be arounsed 1t was de
sirable, therefore. that voters should
not be further distracted by quarrels
over matter which need not have
been made an Issue in the present
election In order to be satisfactorily
settled. The men who are responsible
for the failure OF the negotiations last
night took grave responsibility up
on themselves and will probably find
very soon that they made serious
blunder.
