A PREDICTION.
The joint canvass closes in Col
umbus today and we venture tp
make a prediction as to the prob
able outcome of the contest next
Tuesday toward which all eyes
ara now turned.
It is of course a foregone - 6on
elusion that Crawford for Con
gress and Spainhour for Solicitor-
Will tarry the county Democratic
W T?ood majorities as will Bal
lenger and Mauney Democratic
nominees for State Senators in
the 33rd Senatorial district.
E. B. Cloud Democratic candi
date for the Legislature will car
ry the county by a good majority.
F. L. Weaver, Democratic can
didate for Sheriff, will be elected
by a good majority.
J.P.Ar ledge, Democratic
candidate for Clerk of Court will here to spend the winter.
be elected by a small majority. Ferris was formerly Pastor of the
F. M . Burgess Democratic tEpiscopai church.
candidate for Register of Deeds
will also win by a small, but safe
majority. -
J. R. Foster, Democratic candi
date for Treasurer will beat his
opponent by a good majority.
D. K Conner and C. A. Car-
, AlA4-r. fVP
county Commissioners and P. D.
Williams, Democratic candidate
for county Commissioner will be
elected by good majorities.
K. B. Williams, Democratic
candidate for coroner will get a
good vote in Tryon township and
may win by a small majority.
W. E. Strorig Republican candi
date for Surveyor will be elected
by a good majority.
The election will be close but
this is.dhe way it looks now.
By a small majority we mean
ten to twenty, good majority
twenty to, thirty, large majority
fifty to one 'hundred or more.
These figures are exceedingly
close and may have a wider range
bufc.we doubt it, altho we may be
badly mistaken. '

'Report has it that if Sheriff
Robertson is re-elected he will
Resign in favor of Geo. B. Logan
'of Lynn, who had been spoken
as a possible candidate f or
Sheriff It will be remembered
that Sheriff Robertson did not
wish the nomination but was
placed in nomination by the
- convention because they felt he
stobd the best chance of defeat
ing the Democratic nominee, F.
L. Weaver.

W. A. Mauney.
(King's Mountairi Herald)
If W. A. Mauney, Esq., were
as well known : all over the 83rd
senatorial district a s he is in
Cleveland county, it would be
needless to write one word to in
form the voters as to the kind of
man he is. However, there are
ocalities and precincts in Ruth
erford, Henderson and Polk that
have never heard of him, much
ess of the kind of man he is; and
;hese have a right to know some
thing of him before they can be
asked to support him. To meet
them all and tell them what he
will try to do for them at Raleigh
is an utter impossibility; neither
is it possible for any and all of
Mr. Mauney's friends to do this
forNhim. The time is too short.
To all voters who do not know
this gentleman, The Herald wants
to say that he grew up on a farm
not many miles from this place.
His father was not then rich and
he had to make a full hand at
everything on the farm. And
by way of emphasis, we will say
fight here, that the man who
goes with him to the field today,
will think he has made a full
hand at night. He can beat most
of the boys.
When he was quite young the
war came on and he took his full
part in that, standing always
where duty called him. Return
ing from the war he began his
labors on the farm again study
ing and teaching school all he
could. ! ;
In the incipiency of the town
of King's Mountain, Mr. Mauney
and a younger brother came here
with only about $500 and began
a mercantile business. They
worked, traded and saved their
thesand other such industries
no one can estimate.
Many people have been enabled
to buyf and pay for their homes
through the help and leniency 01
Mr Mauney. I don't believe he
ever pushed a debt against any
man who, was doing his best to
pay it. In business he is a safe
man. In morals he is a Uirist
ian gentlemen. But the opinion
that we would impress on our
readers is, that in addition to all
this worthy history is that he
will make a safe and useful leg-
islator. He knows our needs ana
cari do as much as any man to
obtain laws to suit these needs.
He can see as far into a contract,
business proposition or anticipa
ted legislation as any man. We
cannot make a mistake in voting
for Mr. Mauney. We say this,
truthfully, to those who do not
know, him.
He wants more school and has
proven it by voting a special
tajc againstJiis large holdings to
establish a graded schoorm our
town. He wants the poor and
disabled soldiers and their wid
ows pensions as much as possible
without oppressing the tax pay
ers. He wants whiskey, kept
under control as much as possible
and thinksl the Watts Law the
best solution at present. He
wants the state government run
as economically as possible.
