THE LEDGER. |cc THurlow S. Carier, ,, , Vo EDITOR AND MANAGER. ] \VK.1>NKSI)AV, SKIT. 21, 1898. Our esteemed townsman, ex- r( lT S Marshal John P Hunter, is . Ihs being strongly solicited by his ru nierous friends to enter the race for Superintendent of the State ')e penitentiary. Wo hope ho can bo 88 persuaded to make the race and wo would be delighted to see him 'lfl< elected. We know no one better qual'ticd for the position. Hav- en ing been raised on the farm?being an experienced and suceessfu' ' farmer and having served so long as SheritV *?i our county ami then ')(l four years as I'nited States Marshal. lie is eminently qualified not Iua only to make a success of the State's farming operations, but s n< 18? fo?* the management control and proper treatment of the State's 11 ' 1 1 , Pal convict ();' 11n* Stat-* odicers elected in j'K ' tin* recent primary not one resides *UI % . lev in ii county above Richland and it would l>e hnt fair and just that th" Superintendent of the penitentiary should l?e ehoscn from this seetion ?.T the State. So, in addi- C S lion to lii? eminent cjualitieations nu he should have the advantage go* a * " ographieiulv in the race. We Re hope Mr Hunter will consent to run and feel sure that his ellicienvy in oiliee in the past and popularity in the State would make , . . edi him an easy winner. , ? ag Tl'.e (Irecnville News has been u"' enlarged.
