It is easy to say that these con ditions w^ould have existed if the republicans had been in control instead of the democrats, but wdiile that may be so it is a fact that when the republicans did have control of our county affairs a very few years ago, that our county was going down, the prop erty w’as not increasing in value fast enough to increase the tax levy to pay the debts contracted by the republicans. In fact the republicans had to levy spe cial taxes to meet the current ex penses in order not to exceed the constitutional limit and even with the high late of taxation, and with the special tax they left the county badly in debt and the democrats had to settle hundreds of dollars of back debts, and along with the debts the republi cans left an expensive law suit for tlie democrats to attend to. The democrats have encouraged investors by exhibiting good judgment and honesty in govern ing the county and by progres sive and businesslike methods in attending to the finances. Never before was Transylva nia in such fine condition and it is in a large manner due to the honest and etiicient manner in which the affairs of the county have been managed by our pres ent officials. Long may they live and fill their respective positions, and when they retire many others of the same kind can be found in democracy's ranks to till theii- places. Let the men of this county think over tlu^se matters without any political bias or feeling and they will see that our position i^ correct, that our conclusions are well founded and that the facts exist as we rei)oi‘t them. Violating ilie Game Laws. W(‘ hear tluit some parties have been offering for sale in Brevard ])artridges and jiheasants within the last week. For the informa tion of those who do not know we will say that the bird law does not ex])ii’c until November 1st. and closes March 15th. The last Legislature passed very strict laws in regard to pro tecting our game birds and if the law is observed it will only re sult in good to the citizens. It is to be hoped that it will not be necessary for any legal steps to be taken to enforce tiie law as it now stands but if it is infringed and if game birds are killed out of season we hope that the guilty parties will be prosecuted and [)unished. It is not fair foi* one party to go out and shoot the game bii-ds in th(? close season when the law-abiding citizen has to w’ait till the liunting season opens. Let's give the game birds and the other man both a fail- chance. It is not possible t*or the pro])rie- tors to publish more than a very few of the lunnerous letters received in praise of Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy and tell ing of its remarkable cures. They come from people in every wnlk in 1 i fe and from every state hi tlie Un ion. The Ibllowing from T. W. Great house, ot Prattsburg, Ga,, speaks for itself: “I would have been dead now but for the use of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Reme dy. It cured me of chronic diarrhoea after seven years of suffering. I can never say too much in pvaise of that remedy.” For sale by Z. AV. Nich ols, Brevard, and O. L.
