FACTS PLAINLY STATED r" . -. Read This and Vote In- oentlv. Vote Against Boisls&kYote against Waste fulness and Recklessness, Vote for S. F. Lord. a .. - h .'. F. Lord, one of the best mayor's in every particular Salis bury ever had, was installed May 20th, 1899, and served the city most faithfully till May 20th,! 1901. During this time Mr. Lord was continually on the alert for the city's welfare," the care of our finances, the repair and improve ment of our streets and side walks ov9r the entire city, and such other branches of the public sorvico as ! needed attention. There was no spitefulness, no par tiality, no raste, no egotistic and bombastic Tomfoolery, but a good, honest, sober, conservative ad ministration, such as all right thinking people want, each as the weliaro of the city and our, busi-: ness interests should naveTllf." Lord, with the aid of the con servative gentlemen then on the board of aldermen, paid $15,000 on our street bonds, the first and only paymeut . made ; paid $1,000 for the Chestnut Hill Cemetery, (the check for this passed in Dec ember, 1900, five months before Mr. Lord's term ' expired) he put $1,700 m the sinking fund,, paid the current expenses, left,$590.19 in the treasury and $812,25 in col lectible taxes on hand, (this -amount has been collected.) To conservative people, bu&iuesa peo ple'f this is a splendid showing, to to say nothing of the size of pipe laid, the depth, of the ditches cut, somo places being 18 feet deep, I most all of which were mains, 18, 24 and inches in diameter With tho amount; of money in and a stupendous amount of nm. iiiTNI wrT rr rv nl in hnH -Willi ) was recoived for the sewer bonds the largest amount ever received for Salisbury bonds, .an is buo that stauds out boldly to-day as the first and only issue and on ly expenditure' ever handled here rightly, judiciously and econeini cally, not one dollar' of which was misapplied. It is a fact that our streets were thfu, under Mr. Ketchoy's management, in much tetter condition than they have been siuco, and in addition to the above the people were given a full and correct statement at the proper time. Mr. Lord and his board had nothing to hide. Here's wherein the safety ot the city and the public interests lie. Men who spend the public's mon ey economically, wisely and safe ly are the kind of men wanted and the kind residents and tax payers should insist upon. Dur- ug Mr. Lord's administration he city progressed, some of the argest ana nanasomest ousiness ocks and residences were built. d enterprises established ; peace, d will and harmony was to be nd on-all sides; taxes were lnf.ftr and noonlft cr not afraid made 'investments, business Wfl crfThd. and t.hft trenpral nrna. 0 - street , force and an old soldier. Mr. Ketchie kept the ditches open and the streets in much better condition than they are now,, and was paid only for the time at work. We are told that a negro now has this place and receives a regular salary. , ; .Geo. H. Shaver, the city tax collector was promised before the election that he would be kept in ornce. After the election he was deliberately betrayed, put out. Seven out of the eight aldermen promised to vote for Mr. Shaver, but when it came to. vote the boss' hand showed itself. ' - The people voted at this time for a bond issue of $10,000 for the purpose, (of course there was no written contract and could not have been,) and so understood by at least three-fourths of those who voted for the bonds, that th pro ceeds ,were to be used for the pur pose of building aBchool in eith er the South or East1 Ward. Tnese bonds wqre sold without a cent premium and the money used tor other purposes, thus basely deceiving the people and sotting them unalterably against entrusting another issue of other bonds in the hands of such men. No .matter how needy the. town may be or how bad our streets may set through neglect, there is no hope of the present officials securing the confidence of the people-to make a contest on such an issue a success. This has been tested we hope to the satisfaction of all. Compare this with Mr. A. Ldsd's sewer bonds. Council street, a street very lit tle used, was macadamized in a creditable manner, but at about three times the cost it should have been. Being an unused street aad bo costly, this work showed a J lack of dhreji6na p d isjBoq sfirered by "many almost a total A little narrow strip of nor sign- with two good blind eyes will tell you they arey worse today than they have ever beon known to be b -fore, evep before the days of macadam.

I hereby announce myself as a unless they come under the same ban . as those on South Mail r gobd. wlste. macadam has also beeniplaced on tha street fronting Hon. J. S. Heuderson's. , These ' constitute tho street improvements. v except "macadamized with mud" hauled from other, portions of streets or from building excava tions. This kind of macadam has been a great injury to several streets particularly Lee and Fulton,-the latter having previously been macadamized. But the job of greatest importance is that of South Main street which had a 16-foot strip of macadam with 10 or 15 feet of dirt road on each side, and although one block out of line aud there already being a large sewer pipe on this street, this macadam was deliberately, if not maliciously, destroyed by cut ting through it aud then throw ing red mud on top. The cause of this was about 'as follows: A sewer was being laid on Lee street which if 'run straight as it Whould have been would have passed through the back premises of N. U. Mcuanles and others, parties who would have very likely freely given their consent to the work, if they had been approached on the subject. So, when Mr. Mc Cauless found a force of men at work on his premises without his permission he had them with drawn. Now, as the town was footing the bill, it was unneces sarily ordered that the pie be laid trom Lee to Main, down Main and back to Lee, going two blocks out of the way, wantonly- ruining the Maiu street macadam -aud wasting the public funds. ' t There having been something said about a saving in regard to the laying of sewer pipe, the peo ple ought to understand this ful ly. This saving is in reality a waste and time will prove the as sertion. Instead of layiug the large 12, 16, 18, 24 : and 30-iuch pipe previously used, we are told by, men who saw the work in prog ress that the pipe put down by the present administration was. on an average, only 6 inches and street, who were told they "did not vote right.' As for a genuine, regular town statement,' none has been made. We have had several fragmentary, unsigned arrays of expenditures. We all know enough, however, to be perfectly satisfied that the reg ular revenue has been spent to the cent and as much more as could be borrowed and the town account could be overdrawn, this latter item amounting to some thing like $15,000 or -$20,000 alone. Besid.es this there are a number of outstanding notes for property purchased and other obligations. It is conservatively estimated that the city is about $25,000 in debt in excess of bond issues It is not worth while to talk about how it will be after a' while, facts not prospects should alone be our guide in such mat ters, unless by some ill luck the same people t should be returned, to power for two years mora, then we could look forward to $50,000 or $75,000 indebtedness and .no more to show for it than we have at present, if as much. - POOR JUDGMENT. The most rash and unwise meth- ods have been tm rule of this ad TntmsTTanoir. beginning "With the useless and expensive work on Council street, we go from bad to worse, the purchase .of the prop erty on risner , street, paying more for it than the city will ev- er be able - to receive, a loss ot several hundred dollars, with the campaign yarn that a premium has just been offered on - it to the contrary, notwithstanding; the attempt .to reform men by cru elty and force, by using a public office to persecute personal and political enemies ; by making a silly effort to stop a mob, inciting it to violence and unlawful hanging of the Gillespie negroes. ; (The mob at this junct ure had been deserted by two thirds of its members and could have easily been discouraged by sending a suitable" party within its raiiks Bnt nc, ''there shant be a lynching here - while I am mayor.") Another instance f this poor judgment fs the buying of property, giving the town notes for same aud paying inter est on these notes, without taking charge, makii.g: use of or renting such property, A total waste.
