BROOKE AND CITIZEN
EXPRESSES VIEWS ON
PROBATE JUDGE RACE:
To the Editor of The Dispatch-News: I
In your last week's issue you print
gpf Oc^ a card from Mr. Martin, who is a'
^candidate for Probate Judge, in which 1
y. -lie argued against voting for Walter'
Hook because he is in the area of
fv the county now proposed to be cut off
^ to Richland. Mr. Martin says, if Mr. '
Hook will "produce substantial conorete
evidence that he can control the
fe; electorate of the affected territory for
pfe'the benefit of the county and the
!* <; people thereof," he will "immediatewithdraw
from the race (for
Probate Judge), provided the other I
do likewise." This sounds |
like a lawyer's proposition, but it will J
jiv^not mislead thinking voters this dayj
W& and time. I have known Walter Hook'
. t
:> ;a long time and I have never heard
i'
jp>.that he claimed to control the voters r
jC" of New Brookland or that he ever *
ip tried to do so. He is what Mr. Mar-1
iM tin, admits he is, "a gentleman and a
?{ good eitizen." If Mr. Martin believes
; what he says about Mr. Hook, he
must also believe or know that he
& . 'doesn't aspire to be a dictator. Can|p
didate Martin also admits he is not in
the. race so much for the public good
as he is for personal advantage, because
he says if it is for "the benefit
of the County and the people, thereof!*'that
he should withdraw, he will
; do so "provided the other candidates
do likewise." If it is right, why
shouldn't he take that action regardless
of what others do?
. If I understand the position of Mr.
Hook.-correctly, he is hot making the
race because he is in the cut off ter#
ritory, but purely because he believes
^ he is fully qualified to fill the office
he seeks. His ^friends feel that he
will make a good officer. -They know
hfe. is "a gentleman and a good citizen"
and that he js fitted for the place
-moifo v?r??nt hv the much regretted
? -??? ? death
of the much beloved George S.
Drafts, whose friend he was and
whom he always admired and supported.
I am n^i. a man to advocate the defeat
or election of a candidate because
he comes from any particular,
territory, but I do believe, where one
section of a county has not been fully
recognized in the distribution of public
office, that it is entitled to consideration
when it puts forward for office
a man who is fully competent to
r fill it. I don't believe that any fair
^ .minded man in the county, regardless
* of where he lives or whatever his poP
litical affiliations can honestly say
that New Brookland and vicinity has
got a square deal in distribution of

public favor in the last dozen or more
years. Take for instance the purposed
cut off area, what has it received?
Very, very little either in
^public officers or public improvements,
and those who know the situation,
understand fully that it is in
a large measure responsible for the
'present agitation to annex to Richland.
The people in this territory
furnish about a third of the taxable
property of the county, and even if
\yalter Hook is elected "Pfobate Judge
it will not have its full portion of the
officers, but it will help some and
show the people here that the balance
of the county is willing to give
us a square deal when they fully understand
the situation. Right today
this section has no representative on
the County Board of Commissioners,
although one other section has two
representatives.
We folks down here had kept quiet
, so long, until some ,-of the short
(sighted public men of the county had, j
I believe, come to the conclusion mat
we would stand for any kind of treatment.
They are mistaken. We are
not unreasonable, bu/t we want a
square deal. We are entitled to this,,
and I, for one, believe that the people
/of good old Lexington county are
going to give it to us.
, I have got nothing against any of
'the candidates for Probate Judge, and
I wouldn't say anything now except
'for the piece in the paper last week.
,1 just wanted the people to underhand
this annexation question which
was brought into the papers. The
/candidates are all before the people,
and it is up to them to take their
choice. I only contend that we have
,a candidate that is worthy and competent
to fill the office. If you don't
think so, don't vote for him; but if
:
you do think so, then show us folks
/down here that you are willing to
rfcome clean with us by voting for

UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY
Time is the test of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test in Lexington. No Lexington resident
who suffers backache, or annoying
urinary ills can remain unconvinced
by this twice-told testimony.
Mrs. R. F. Powell, Main St., Lexington,
says: "I had a dull ache in
my back and in the morning when I
~ T AiMiLI o lir AVPr 7
gUl U 1 IUU1U 11UL UJJ >vv..iiu VI v*. - |
tired easily and it was an effort for j
me to do my housework. Headaches I
and dizzy spells bothered me and my
sight was blurred. Doan's Kidney
Pills from the Harmon Drug Co., gave
me relief almost at once vand after
using three or four boxes all the
trouble disappeared."
Over three years later Mrs. Powell
said: "I think just as much of Doan's
Kidney Pills today as I did when I
recommended them nearly four years
ago. I haven't had to use a kidngy
medicine since that time."
Price COc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy?get
Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that
Mrs. Powell had. Foster-Milbu *n Co.,

What can we do? We can only look
to the law for protection as we do not
want any Will Allen scrape in this
thing. We hope that wiser heads
both white and colored will preach
and teach better things than what is
now existing in our country. It seems
that the old saying "Every fellow for

very true saying just at this time.
