By reference to the vote cast I
, in the political election last I
■ November it is found that the!
,'vote in yesterday's bond issue'
' election was very light, two
hundred and twenty-eight citi-l
' zens who voted in the political j
4 election failing to attend yester
day's election. At (Quaker Gap
precinct there were 202 votes
,cast in the November political
election for Congressman, while
only 12i> votes were cast in yes
( terday's bond issue election: at
? Moir's precinct in November iss!
votes were cast and yesterday'
'only 12V» voted: at Brown Moun-
I
stain precinct in November 111! I
II voted and yesterday only
; voted: at Frans' precinct in
' November 7i> voted and yester
'; day only Hi voted. So it is seen
from this that about one-third of
| the voters of tha township failed,
to go to the polls yesterday and
express their sentiments,
i As to what the result would!
have been had there been a I
hea\ v vote it is impossible to I
1 say, but the probability is that j
! the majority against the bond |
issue would have been even j
| greater.

til irii was cached to
capachy, the evangelist thinking
that he would have to lock the
door and not allow anyone else
to enter.
Rev. mith is a man who
believes in preaching the gospel
as he sees it. and he has the
stamnia to back up anything lie
says. Some people who have
gone to the meetings have taken
offence at some things he has
said. And they could not rest
until they told him. about it.
This they did, even going so far
as to request him to make
apologies from the puipil for
what he had said. This he
would a,-it do, and the next night
in tile puipit. he gave the parties
making the reouest one of the
hardest talks they have ever re
ceived.
Such matters as this are very
common in a revival meeting, and
' are disgrace enough to any com
munity, but to top this off, some-,
one wrote the evangelist a very'
threatening letter, which, if turn
ed in to the postal authorities
would probably cost the author
of this dirty, under-handed trick
a few years of his freedom,
which this party justly deserves,
j Those meetings are Samra j
Smith's meetings and if you. I
! who are raising such a "stink" j
don't like what he says, he has'
told you a number of times to stay !
at home. Or if you happen toj
be in the church, and should be-;
come offended, just get up and go
home, for, as the evangelist says,
the door is always unlocked and
there is plenty of fresh air on the
outside,
If these people haven't respect
enough for themselves and the
community to stop this under
handed work, there is a law to
call a halt and we think it is
about time for the law to take a
hand.
