The type in the article con-
cerning the big meeting at Sal.
isbury in our issue June 6 about
the amount collected for the
purposes of the meeting convey
ed an entirely erroneous state
ment. The section of the arti-
Gle which referred to the collec-
ton was written as follows:
About $4,000 was invested in
the meeting, something over
$1,000 being in the nature of a
free will Offering to DR.. Oliver,
the remainder in expenses.
Leaving out something over
$1,000" when the article was set
and failing to proof read and
correct, did contributors an in:
justice which we are only too
glad to correct. Our attention
was first called to the error by
a letter from DR.. Oliver which
came Sunday, in which he
strongly protests against the
statement that he received any
such an amount. 1t is said how.
ever, that.about $4,000 was col
lected and that Dr.. s scoop was
greater than at first feared. Still
so far as we have been able to
learn, no statement whatever
has been given out concerning
the disposition of the amount
collected, the full amount, nor the
number of bona fide converts nor
can the exact facts in these par
ticulars be ascertained so far.

DR.. Oliver AYERS that there are
some near criminals in Salisbury
who are anxious to measure every
man by their own standards of
rascality. He also strongly intl-
mates that there are some news
paper men who would play into
the hands of these.

DR.. Oliver, in a letter to the
editor of the Courier says that
whoever told that he had paid
one and half cents a mile and
charged the people of Salisbury
3 cents a mile in his expense ac-
count, lied willfully and malici-
ously. Instead of over charg-
ing, he says that because the
town is small, he reduced his
expense budget $500, accepting
that much less than his annual
prorata agreement with COM
mittees calls for" whatever that
may mean.
In reference to the alleged
item of railroad fare and some
others in the Dr.'s expense bud
get which has been the subject
of question on the streets of
Salisbury, we know nothing fur

around in the air in that small
town. We do know that some

found in any town small or

is to operate the implement from the

ANY way you look at It you are
working at a disadvantage with the
