To The Editor of The Time*: If you will allow mo space in the columns of your valunblo paper, I will explain why I have decided to announce my candidacy for re-election to the otlice of sheriff in this issue. Somo dirty miscreant lias seen fit to write me an anonymous letter of a threatening nature and not having the manhood to boldly sign his name lie hides behind the subterfugo of "Successor". Here is a copy of his effusion : "Mr. Long: I)o you wish to die in oflice? If this bo your desire, consult your spiritual advisor concerning your downward swim from mother earth, and not let him persuade you to risk unother term. If so, your tv i u h Kr* o fl tr m\ f Ka /?*/>?! Vii<v>Mi 11 ?c?* u nt uu u ji r up i uc uivua. Successor." "P. S.?.V candidate's gratitude ends with the election. A dog is grutaful after being FED. Not personal." The above sheet is typo written except the words "Long" und "not personal". I had hoped that inv candidacy for Sheriff this timo would be on pleasant terms as heretofore, but if the one who wrote mo tlie above wishes it to bo otherwise, 1 will accomodate him personally in any manner that ho wishes.
