Fiditoi* Sylvan Valley News:
Permit me throujfh the columns of
the News to make a statement in
rejifard to my position in the ap
proaching; municipal election. It
has been intimated that I iiave been
indifterent as to the result of this
(‘lection. I felt that the position of
.Mayor was one that I ou«iht neither
to seek nor rt'fnse. Without any so
licitation on n>y part I was nomina-
t(‘d at the nuiss meeting; held at the
court house. Having- been nomi
nated, 1 felt it to be my duty to ac
cept. Havinu accepteii the nomina
tion I did not then, nor do 1 now, ^
leel that I am called upon to make a i
pers(.'ual canvass of the voters of the j
town. Our people are a conserva-!
tive, thinkinji', intellij*ent people.
They know the needs ot our little
city; they know the duties of a
.Mayor; they know the candichites for
the position and are abundantly
able to select tlie man whom they
wish to serve them. K no win};
thesi* tacts 1 have purposely avoided
makinj;’ any canvass, wishinj; to
leave <;yHiy one free and untram-
el(*d, without any personal inHueu(*e,
from me, to act and vote as lie
thinks the best interests of the town
demands. That man has less self-
esteem and platitude than I have
who would not ai>preciate the conti-
d(‘nce imniied implied in the nonii-
natton and voluntary supi>ort that
lias been ix-omised me. I can oidy
say that if elected I will try to do my
duty as 1 see and understand it. If
another man is elect«*d I will aid his
administ rat ion in every laudable
effort it makes for the advancement
of every interest in Hrevard.
Tijankinj; you, iNlessrs. Editors,
for the tiatterint* remarks you have
heeii pleased to make about me, and
hoping- that 1 inay prove worthy of
ali you have said I am,
Yours truly,
J. Jj. Hhi.l.

Trying to Think
of the time when Clothing' w’as as cheap as we are now selling it.
There is no use trying to think—that time never existed. We
are selling better clothing cheaper today than ever. Don’t think
for one moment that anyone is going to undersell VV. P. Weilt, or
even meet his prices, as that is impossible; we are too w’atchful
for all that. For this reason w’e have bought all of our goods for
cash and the Clothing and Shoes from the monufacturers. a sav
ing of the brokers’ and jobbers’ profits, with ali the discounts olT,
which means a big saving to the consumers—and we therefore
are in a position to defy com])etition, no difference w’here you go.
And again, we believe in quick sales and small profits foi* spot
cash or produce, and the best and the most goods for the least
money. And, by the way, we believe in one i>rice and treating
the rich and the pooi* alike, as one man’s money is as good as the
other, and we mean just what w'e say. We mark our goods in
plain figures that all may see that can read.
The ^'Satisfaction Srand*’ Clothing
is the inosL satisfactory Clothing in the world at> the price we sell it»--for instance:

! Sensation at Asheville.
I Asheville, N. C., April 20.—A wo
man, w’hose name no :eporter has
j bee'n able to ascertain, drove up to the
I front of the Asheville stock exchanges
in a handsome equipage, called out
i one of the officials, and when he ap*
! proached the vehicle s-he belabored
' him soundly with her umbrella over
I the head and then drove away at a
! rapid rate. The cause leading up to
I this exhibition of spirit is as much a
mystery as the name of the one w'ho
I-nfiicted the unexpected chastisement.
