a Card From MIR. Calhoun.

In the election for Mayor of
Edgefeld a little more than year
ago, 1 was candidate againsts8Ir.
C. E. May, he defeating me3by one
vote according to the count. In the
election two years previous to that
time / was then defeated by the
votes of one white man and two
negro republicans. / received. in
that election majority Of one of
the democratic voters of the town.
Mr.. May has resigned and there
will be an election in Apn4to fill
the vacancy. / ask for election to
fill the unexpircd term. ASit has,
been the custom among democrats
in case like this, and similaf cases,
to give the unexpired term to the
opponent of the retiring officer, l.,
therefore, ask for the election to
the unexpired term; and 4 believe
under the circumstances 7 will be-
given me. N
The people of EdgefId know
me; and know that no ne of its
citizens is willing to doimore for
the town than / am. Mgrecord on
that subject speaks foriiitself. If
elected, so far as lies within my
power, I will give the, tom as good
improvement as possible, packed, of
course, by council.
1t is claimed, / has been in
formed, that l am too Fogressive,
and might spend too mich of the
towns money on improvements,
and thereby increase taxsion. That.
claim is actually too; absured to
really require notice. ~ sensible
man ought to be caugS by such
chaff. The mayor does;spt by HIM
self manage the financial affairs of
the town. nor Can he. sfnS money
for any pur2ose boaialthority
from council. All iHpsoyements
andtth expenditure ofInoney are
made and regulated bY5oancil and

Are Newspapers Bad?

public utterly false. The remedy
for sore is not covering, but open
