LENOIR NEWS-TOPIC, Page Seven A REPLY TO THE EDITQR "'Walk into my parlor said the spider to the fly," and the editor walked in. In a bitter tirade and criticism of our article in the paper last week, addressed to the yoters of Caldwell county, the editor has thrown the fat inthe fire, and .now a discussion of the bond issue is in full swing, and -what seemed to be a cer tain victory for the bonds ten days aero seems nOW tO be a dOUDtlUl ISSUe. If the pepole can only understand , what thev are voting for the bond issue wiffi be voted down, but such misleading statements have gone out that the people do not understand the real issue. The impression is be ing made that if the bond issue should carry the State and Federal govern ments would give $750,000 to help the county, when, as a matter of fact (and every intelligent man knows it) the State and Federal governments will not give one cent if the bond is sue carries to work in the rural dis tricts. The State and nation will onCy give such amount in case the county will give one-fourth, and there is no necessity for an election ;n order to obtain State and r ederal ; f rom the blood, which causes rheu aid. The commissioners already have matiSm, and brings back the flush of the power to 'issue bonds for the ; health to pale cheeks by enriching State highways roads, and if they an(j purifying the blood, will the State will give one-fourth, ! Mr p g Futrell of 102 Orange the nation one-half and county one- gt., Wilmington, N. C, says: "I fourth. Why don't the county com- , have been bothered with constipa missioners act on that law?

Now is this not independentsm with a vim? Again, the editor says that the new registration was not called in order to aid in voting for bonds, but to aid in selline the bonds to better advan tage. Now, we do not know whether the editor meant to be facetious or ; did not know what he was talking Under the present operation of the about or was attempting to mislead election, in our opinion, if the bond the people.

It is a mighty bad steam roller and the election machin- time right now, in our opinion, to ery as they usually do in this county, j build public roads. Never before has the Republicans know what that means, for they are past masters in manipulating an election. If the Re. Dublicans want to follow that sort of leadership the opportunity is offered to them. ! The editor again, under the head- 1 ing, "Why the change of heart?" at- , tempts to misrepresent this writer, when the article itself shows that I favored working public highways by State and Federal aid, and favor it now. Be fair. Mr. Editor, and do not make such palpable blunders. You say my argument is not legiti- ! mate and that I am resorting to polit- ical prejudice. You know, or ought to know, better. The people pay you for your paper and you should not pervert or conceal any public matter, and if you are not informed about these things you ought not to attempt to discuss them. You are getting up a splendid paper in our county; you are energetic, newsy, and have a promising future before . vou. if vou will be fair, but you can-' not make it by concealing matters of public interest from your readers. Chapter 67 of the laws of 1917 ex pressly states 'that a new registration shall be required at the first eOection, which was held two years ago, and still the county commissioners had no registration. If the bonds had car ried in 1-917 it would have been null and void. See section 9 of this chap ter. Section 11 provides that a sec ond election may be held, and that election has been called for next month, and the law says no new reg istration for such second election shall be required; and yet in the face of adl law the commissioners have ordered a new registration. In our opinion, if the bond issue should carry the election would be null and void and no bonds could be issued. Why the commissioners made such a blunder we do not understand. What the ror missioners ought to do, in our opinion, is to take advantage of the Pharr-Matthews bill and issue $100,000 in bonds, ask the State to give a like amount, and the Federal government $200,000; go to work on our highways, and when they are completed the people can see whether THE; EVERYDA Y BA TTLE Battles are n6t I1 bought witK -cannon and shell.

These warnings take the form of dyspepsia, indigestion, dizziness, nervousness, constipation, headache, backache, pains the back and side, that tired, rundown feeling and various other symptoms of a deranged stomach, which can be restored to its normal condition by Dreco, the great herbal compound.

Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars principal and $750,000 interest is a pretty big amount to pay for the little work that the county would receive from this bond issue. In all matters the party who makes the first move is entitled to close the argument, and we shall see if the editor is fair enough to follow precedence of this kind. We hope it witl not be neces sary for us to have anything further to say in the paper about this matter If the editor treats us fairly in his rejoinder we shall be content. M. N. HARSHAW. DR.
