To the Editor of the Dispatch: 1 I desire a small space in your , paper to say a few words for my friend John J. McMahan, candidate i for State Superintendent of Education. I have known him, well since he was a little boy, and have always found him upright and honorable, modest and unassuming, intelligent and conscientious. He is naturally a 3tudent and teacher and may be depended upon to do all in his power to protect and improve the common . 3chools of the State. He is young and ambitious and will prove to the neoDle of the State, if given the op r * " i - _ portunity, that he is the man for the place. I bespeak for him the support of my fellow citizens of Lexing ton county. J. Feaster Lyles.
