We It Is Mayor Hendricks. At the election for mayor last Saturday Mr. G. R. Hendricks w as elected to fill the unexpired term of Mr. S. B. Craig - ho resigned some time ago to go to Columbia to study law at the University. The term will ex piri April 1913. All the candi dates for this office were men of high character and the affairs of the city would have been safe in the hands of either of them. Mr. Hendricks was elected by a good majority. Ho is aI Pickens man, having been bo n and raised within four miles of the town, and about ten years ag() was admitted to the bar and began the practice of law. After a few month he gave this up and became a member of the firm of Folger, Thornley & Co.. one of the strongest firms and ne of the largzest mercantile establishments here. B his courteous manners and strict atten tion to business he has won many friends andi stands high in the estimation of the people.) Mayor Hendricks will be ex-) pected to hold the scales of jus-) tice as evenly balanced as hu mau wisdom wilE allow. Not) to make fish of one and fowl o f) another. To mete out the same ] favor '-and punishment to the) hobo ~the city gentle.nan.r Tok kI n open eye on the dives) and I ..es of questionable re-) sort, and if the parents wvill not,) have the police to keep the idle) ad~ disipatin gly inclined boys) away from such places.] lie will be expected to set the] pace for civie righteonsness; to] try to build up sentiment to re spect law and ord.. r and there byV stimulate and encourage bet ter morals. He will be look to to lead the forces to improve con ditions in the town, to see that the taxes are wisely and judici ously expended. To put the dollars where they will do the most good and last the longest. all of which and more beside we believe Mayor Hendricks is cap able of doing and that he will heartily endeavor to do. So here is our hand Mr. Mayor to congratulate you and to assure you that every effort you make to measure up to the require ments of these responsible duties and to build un Pickens morally and mateially you shall hax e our hear-ty co-operation. Let us join hands Mr. Mayor and pull for Pickrns. Death of Mr. James M. Porter. Mr -James J. Porter, one of) the oldest and among the best of Pic-kens' citizens.
