the percentage used and shown has been
established through the fact that the con-
Germ from whom we purchased our COM
prcssors. namely. the item of sos, 90, has
written us advising that they will replace
these engines with an exact duplicate OF
same at cost of $4,000, and We. there
fore. feel that. as all the purchases were
made in the year 1920. at the time when
high prices predominated, the % per cent
reduction We show on the manufacturing
plant is not out of line.
On our merchandise we show reduc-
tion Of 80 per cent from the original cost.
due to the fact that I'LL the merchandise
on hand In our warehouse at Elm Grove
was purchased in the year of 1919. when
the highest prices ever paid for materials
( and supplies were charged, and it is COM
mon knowledge that all materials and
supplies can be replaced at this time ut Al
reduction of so per cent, or more, from
the 1919 prices.
We desire to file the enclosed papers as
a protest against the raise you have made
on our assessment for the year 1922.
If there is any further information
that you wish us to supply We will be
glad to furnish same upon receipt OF your
request to that effect. Yours very truly.

Candidates at Hamlet.

The labor union at Hamlet last
week addressed an invitation, tc
each candidate inviting him tt
speak in the union hall Saturday
night at Hamlet. Practically all
the candidates accepted the in.
vitation. some of whom merely
announced their candidacy and
several made talks of two or
three minutes. Mr.. Everett spoke
for Is minutes, being requested
by the presiding officer Felix
Cannon to continue when his al
lotted 10 minutes had expired.
Neither w. E. Harrison or
Wade Sanders, candidates for
Senate, were able to be present,
but both sent letters of regret.
Arthur A Muse, the third candi.
date, made a short statement an.
noYacing that he had received
the endorsements of the labor
unions, and was representing the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-.
gineers In closing his remarks,
he said Il will do everything in
my power to further the interests
of those | represent"
]. A. McAulay made a talk of
5 minutes, and announced that
he was retiring from the race for
Clerk This was the first intima.
ton any of the candidates even
had of his intention to drop out.
He thanked the folks for their ex-
of good will and in con-
turned to the other can.
didates seated on the platform,
and remarked Il am not a candi-
date now, and | turn the race
over to you boys, and may the
best man get it." Naturally each
Of the other four candidates take
the best man part to himself.
About so people were in the
nall to hear the candidates. The
substance of each candidate was
equal treatment to all, special
to none," which is a !
very safe and conservative thing
to say.
