He holds a trying position and has every sort of trivial matter brought before him. It is no wonder that he gets vexed. I dare say most of you would. Then I think sometimes that we need a boss there. One who is not afraid to stand by his convictions. What would he be and the school system be if he allowed everybody to lead him around by the nose? Can you find anything wrong with his public, private. and moral life? You ought to look into these things before you cast your ballot next Tuesday and be sure that they measure up to the standard that you would set for your boys and girls. A vote for Swearingen means better schools. If you cast your bal lot ior mm i wueve ui?l vuu uavc dorle a wise thing for the schools of Lexington county and the State. CHAS. E. TAYLOR.
