Every precinct in the county sho’d cast a majority of its registered vote “For Subscription.” Undoubtedly the proposition will carry, but for the good name of our county and its enter prising citizenship, the vote should be unanimous. The development of our water-pow- ers, the Progress and Prosperity of our county and its prople, depiends matsrially upon the construction of the Greenville & Knoxville railroad— get in on the winning side, VOTE “For Subscription” Tuesday, Aug. 2.
