THUH80AY, AUGUST 7,
r—
• IX* lor«.
We thought our roll of eamli«l;itos
m\ih eompleti* last woeH, but two more
have entered Hie race at the elevenUi
, hour, but to recelte tli.clr full
alvare of favor from the people.
Jarneg ThwinMou, Eaq., of Hla( , kville,
aunouneea himself u caiulidate for the
Oouao of UepreaentHtivuM. He U
strong member of the liar, a matt of lirfe
natutal talents ami thorough culture,
of firm ttetormhiatlon ami strict devo
tion to the public welfare. By the pub
lication of his card in llu; Graham’s
Rows of last Saturday be brought, hiui-
,r self strictly within the primary rules
and regulations. If elected lie will
make a faithful and forcible represen
tative.
Mr. Charles F. Harvey was kept by
tlflS^oyere illness of a member of his
family from publishing ids card at an
earlier date. The Executive Commit
tee has agreed to ids entering the race
withaii the rights of other candidates.
Mr. Harvey will be grateful to his
friends and the public generally for
their support on next t4»turday. He
has not been able to canvass much of
the county but trusts that ail will con
sider his qualifications before casting
tneir ballots. He is now and always
has been a good man and if elected will
make a good otllcial.
His share in th<^ administration of
county affairs would bo intelligent, ac
tive, painstaking, honest and econom
ical.”

Tlw announcements of forty one can
didates are published in this issue of
TnxTaocnm —
All have compiled with the require
ment of the j^lumry plan providing
that each shall pledge himself‘Ho abide
“Ly the results of the primary election
and not u» accept a uoiuhiatkui.jOX an
olttce from any source other than the
regularly ctfflstRuted Democratic' dr^
gani/ation.” That was done in laat
weak’s paper.
All are, we believe, In full am] sin
ce rest sympathy w ith theKefortn Move
ment and each, we feel sure, is anima
ted by the controlling desire of reuder-
Uig honest service to the public.
tto, dear reader, standing as they do
on an equal platform, U Is your prov
ince to measure their merits and to ac-
loot those who w 111 best aerve this brave
old county, this dear old common
wealth, In Lh« dark andtrmiblous times
that lay so near before. For never In
all the crises of her changing history
has the Falmctto State needed truer
service of her sous or claaer knit union
of all her |ieop'.e.
We are entering new and unsalled
teas. Let the crew of our ship of state
be manned with the best and bravest
smhmtofgj. i

The candidate’s lot la indeed a hard
one. 'I he stdicincs for electioneering j
tlmt ape fesovted to .are v<Ty n inarka-! j
ble and at titties extmmdy tin just.
It fWH*nis that the present Il(«ard of
rodnty t?oiiiii>iasl«uer» entered upon
their duties from the *tart fnlly con-,
vincedoftho necessity for reform; the
preceding Hoard having sjK.'Ut nearly
five thousand dollars in excess of the
tax levy for that your, and necessitating
an extra levy of about one mill on the
taxes of J8*8-80 to make u p that dcli-
cleuey. 0 Tlu‘report of, the Grand Jury
is proof that they have strictly adhered
to their principle of reform ami hffvc
saveil several thousand dollars to the
tax payers of the county.
But, notwithstanding all this, some
designing person lias put a report in cir
culation that, upon investigation, I find
to be without proof to sustain it. The
report lathis:
That the present Board rejected a bid
from a physician to attend the poor
house and jail for $<J0 per annum and
accepted the bid of another for ^
Xow upon investigation l find tint
when this matter came before the f 'om-
mlssioners there were three bids, as
follows:
1st. To attend and preaerllx* as phy
sician to poor house and jail for $<10 i*cr
annum; the inedicines to be paid for
extra.
2nd. To attend all calls to poor house
and jail at the rate of fifty cents per
visit—medicines to be paid for extra.
3d. To attend all calls to poor bouse
and jail and furnish all necessary in-'d-
icines for the smaof per annum.
The'first two bids were very TniTcn
