Regards i be fact that he has no opposiflion as an evidence of tli6 fact that he ^as done his full duty in oltice. Will . ontiuue to do bis duty, as be sees it, ^'egardless of consequeuces.

COUNTY SITT. KDI'CATION. A. C. Kowell?Is no stranger to (lie people. They all have known him all his life, as he has been raised among them. If elected, will give the people the kind ol' an ottieer they need. When defeated four years ago hesuhmitled graoiously and went back to his farm and to teaching. The success of the county depends on the education of the people. All his opponents are competent to till the otlice but his past experience should have better qualilied him for the otlice. If lw. So nmrnllu ntul i < lot I llnll v . petent to till tho position ho seeks, then he asks to be reelected. Will keep the olllce open every day that it is possible to keep it open. No one who tills the office can keep it open every day in the year, l'or the schools in the country requires the attention of the office, and must be visited. I'nless our children are educated tliey must take a back seat in the march of progress now being made by the State and county. .1. E. IMackmon?A candidate for County Nupt. Education. Eor two terms he setved the county as Treasurer. He wants to serve in the office ot Supt. of Education because he is interested in the education of the people. Is no i/rii?l mil from n colli l'c. bill orcioir ed himself for touching. The people have been kind to him and he wants to do something for the education of the children. A County Supt. of education should look after the schools, and see that the best teachers are employed. Not only text hooks should he used in our schools but the bible also. We need teachers who will train our children not only intellectually, but also morally and religiously. Hopewell has a school of which she has the right to be proud. She has been fortunate in selecting her teachers in 1 the past, hives in town where he can 1 give the ollice his undivided attention. Jfelected, he will v isit the schools as often as he thinks they require. Ilis only wish is is see the best man elected to the ollice. \V. A. Hughes?Two years ago he rait for the olliee to which he now aspires. A|?roes witli speakers who have preceded him as to the duties of theoltiee. For ten years he has taught in the coinmon school. If elected will \ isil the schools, and make what suggestions he sees necessary for their improvement. Will labor among the patrons of the school with a view of arousing a deeper interest in education among the people of the county. Claude N. Sapps?A candidate for Itaim.il in tlx. ............. i . oniiii; ?? " ' ? " * "niiiiuimjr and have been known from childhood. Is running because he has a right to run for the office to which he aspires. The boys and girls of this community are to he the men and women of the future. Have no record, am only asking for a chance to make one. If he goes down in defeat on the lioth, that will be all right, but he is sure that he will have no man's character on his lips. Js running on his own merits and not on the demerits of anyone. A County 8upt. education should he so qualified as to be able to go into any school in the county and see and know whether the teachers are doing their duty, lie THE LANCAS1 should bo ablo to go among tho people of the county and by his powers of per suasion inoite them to proper interest in tho schools of the county. A graduate of Wofford College. Would refer any one to the President and other professors of that institution as to what he accomplished there. Those of the county who soe him and hear him on the campaign can judge for themselves whether lie is intellectually competent to do tho work of the office, to be of benefit to the teachers of the county and to incite the people to a deeper interest in the educational affairs of the county. Joseph K. Connors?Considers it an honor to even run for the office of County Supt. of Education, for it is one of the most important in the gift of the people. Kducation and its careful supervision means the salvation of our people as citizens. Knowledge is power. The first act of our forefathers was to establish schools when they landed in this country. We have made wonderful progress along educational lines. In this fast age in which we are all striving for wealth, the only thing that is free is an education, for all, if our youth will only reach out and grasp it. Not here to sing his praises. If he is competent to fill the ofiiee to which he aspires, the people ran find it out by an examination of his record as a schoolteacher for eight years?two in the country and six in the tiradad School at Lancaster, lias spent his vacations at State's Sum nier rscnoois 111 a suiuyoi uie nesi met finds of teaching and the organization of schools. All his competitors arc gentlemen and will remain friendly, it matters not on whom the choice of the people may fall. Having spent eight years of his life in instructing the youth of the county, he believes that he knows something of the needs of the common schools ami can render efllcicnt service to his county it elected to the ofliee. FoK COI NT V TK K ASl' K Kit. T. I,. Hilton?lias no public record. Willing to be considered by his business and private record. Knows he can till the oltice acceptably to the people. It is an honorable ollice and pays a good salary. He is a working man and needs the olhcc. II is opponent should be given time to hunt him a wife. it ...iii .1.. i,i .......i I,.,:,... i mil 'in mill ill.in m'i'il Ulllll "I l?H cloned to ?ti otlire. No one, lie thinks, w ould sav that he is not competent to till the oilier. It is true that the present i ileum bent has held the oilier for only one term. 'Chat is 110 reason why someone equally as eompetent ran not till the otliee or should not be elected in his plaee. \V. II. Millen?Asks a ro-eleetion to the oilier of t 'ounty Treasurer. Thanks for Mattering vdtr given him two years ago. I lis opponent can help him get a wife without trying t?? push him out of the Treasurer's otliee. , Since it is the rule in the t'ountv, where an otlieer has done his duty to give him a second term, he asks and thinks he has a right to ask for a reelection. If reelected it will he an indorsement of his conduct of the otliee. Would rather have been defea'ed two years ago than now, for the reason that his defeat now would mean that he had notdoiiehis duty, lie has given the omce ins unuiv tueu intention hiki lias heard no complaints as to the manner in which he has served the people of t he county. If lie has done his duty, why turn him out now?after only one term. Full col NTV Al IUTOK. II. II. Morton?Have not been in oflicci|uile two years. His books now bAlance to a cent and they have been examined ami passed upon by a committee of the Krand jury as beinvc properly kept. I.et the others do, as I had to do?run several times until they convince the people that they ou^ht to have the olllce. I'orter M. Jackson?Was defeated by only three votes two years atp>. out of 32a votes two years a>;o at the t'olton Mill box he tfot ;{tttt. That shows that he is trusted in the coinmuninty where lie livi's. He wants the "lirst blow" on the 12.Mli of Any. Attended the MeFeat business College at Columbia. Since that tune he has iriven full satis faction in the positions ho lias tilled in t lie business world. J. WYUK I'OKTKK. The Auditor's otliee is one of the most important in the tfifl of the people. Ilis experience in this oflicu certainly has better fitted him for the position. If an auditor does not do his duty, it is for you to say whether ho should he reelected or not. The present incumbent failed to secure returns from 700 taxpayers, whose names had to appear as "Additionals." Why was this if he is competent to fill the otliee. When ho rER NEWS, SATURDAY, AUGt was auditor be never missed over ten returns. a EDWARD A. THOMPSON. I First time he has ever asked for an I office. Feels that he is competent to e fill the office of Auditor. Was raised in c the community of Hopewell. Attended the High School at Waxhaw, N. C., and subsequently a business college at c Macon, Oa. Is a young man and has t an ambition to do more for himself. H E. Ij. CRENSHAW I announces his candidacy for the posi- c tlon of countv auditor. i By permission Mr. Horton ex- e plained that it was not his fault that c people did not make their returns, c That he published the usual notice, t calling for returns. Those that did not make their returns regularly did ] not escape taxation, for their names appeared on the additional list and t paid taxes just as the others. ] By permission a reply was -IIowed t Mr. Port"'* He insisted that >?ir, t Horton had not done his duty in the ' otlice. If he had, there would not ? have appeared so many "additional?." i For County Supervisor: i W K WILLIAMS. In favor of good roads and if elect- t ed, will give the people the best roads t that the funds will allow. In the past t the roads have cost from S3 to $10 ner t mile With $36 o- $40 to the mile under the new road law, thinks he i can give good roads. Would do away a with ground bridges by the use of . tiling Would hire the convicts to , the nearest road contractors, instead [ of sending them to Chester county at a considerable expense to the county. Nothing more important than good roads. Would see that a good, kind man was kept in charge of the poor house and inmates. L.J. PERRY seeks reelection to the office of County Supervisor, which be has held for the past two years. Thanks for the sup port given him. The office more important even than that of Senator from the county, having, as it does, the supervision of the finances of the county. Served four years in the war between the States. A few more years and he shall pass to the great beyond. Now is the tune to honor him if it is ever to be done His duty to put into effect the new road law. Why put some other man in the office to get the law to working properly? Should be allowsan opportunity to test the law fully. I'ast experience in the office has better fitted him for the position. The county is in good condition?thanks to the assistance of the two honorable gentlemen associated with him in the office. S.J FUNDKKBUKK, candidate for County Supervisor. Regard it as one of the most important otfices in the county. Under the new law there wi'l be $30 or $36 per mile, and with this amount thinks a great improvement could be made on the roads The people in Union county, N . C., work the roads and do not con lent i lit*uinrivra ?mi (aiKllllf annul ttic roads. More work and less talk is what we need in our county. Thinks i it is time to Rive the olhce to someone 1 else. No one Is more in favor of good j roads than he is. If elected he will I have no pets, but do his full duty regardless of whom it hurts or helps Honestly Relieves that he has been imlueneed by the Almighty in aspiring for this ottice. He is tired of having the adjoining counties throwing slurs at our roads A Kreat number of our eastern county peoDle do their trading in Monroe on account of the good roads leading to that town. G. L MOBLKY, a stranger to some. vVould refer to the people of Heath Springs for information as to who and what he is. Is in favor of good roads. In com- , inunilies where the roads and schools are poor, we find the people moving into the towns. If elected he will carry out the iaw to the best of his I ability If the people believe him competent to till theolflce they should elect him. < I For Coroner. ,1 M CAHKKY, a candidate for reelection. Bases his I claim upon his services to his conn try Ever since the war begun he has done his full duty by his county. 1 If necessary he could move his office to the county seat. Has a phone in his home at Pleasant Hill by which he can be called at any time and from any portion of the county. JOHN KINO, a candidate for Coroner. If elected, j will do his duty fully. To elect him would save Mr. Caskey the trouble of moving. Is now poing at the court house and expects to continue to do so. J ST 15, 1908. W. F.
