add a revenue as yet improvided by
any act of the legislature, that a lish
law which would not reach the small
streams and hand seins, but those
immense fisheries on the coast where
millions were caught in a day. Other
States had lish laws by which im
mense revenues were collected. Opposed
to the law which made boys
work the roads or pay road tax, this
tax was not paid by the boy, but by
his poor father. If those who have
been in the legislature could not or
have not done what the people most
desired should bs done, it is time to
send some one else to do it.
MIC. J. K. THOMAS,
for sheriff, introduced, said he had
no speech to make, was at home
there, and all he said or promised
was that if elected he wouLd do his
duty.
MR. J. W. SANDERS,
introduced, said ho was glad to meet
the people of Santuc and thanked
them for what they did for him four
years ago, and hoped they would consider
that he merited a repeating of
the same favors; his record was before
the people and he was not ashamed
of it. If I have made mistakes I
did not know it, I have done my best,
and if I have made a good sheriff, I
merit another term. Mr. Long held
the office 10 years, if you keep me
that long I will be satisfied I agree
with Mr. Long. I too want to run tMo
campaign on a high plane, willing to
abide your decision, and if defeated
will make you a good citizen as I have
always tried to do.
MR. J. G. LONG,
for sheriff, was next introduced; he
said, I am glad of the opportunity to
express my gratitude to the people
of Santuc for what they have done
for me in the past. There is no politics
in sherill's office, it is an executive
office. In 189(5 a law was passed
requiring sheriff to make a report,
use to have to work on fee system,
now I want a salary, more money in
it. Mr. Sanders asked for reply.
Said he worked two years under the
fee system. Read some figures to
show that there was as much made
^ then as now. Mr. Long explained
that these figures represented gross
earnings he thought,
MR. I. FRANK PKAKE,
- < for clerk of court, said that he was
\then standing in a few yards of whero
he was born. Proud of his people
\ andffully appreciated what they had
done for him. That he ran agHinst a
good olerk 4 years ago and was proud
to say that the people, by their vote,
had said he could serve them acceptably,
and he was conscious of having

MR. O. II. FOWI.EIl,
said good roads is one of the chief and
important ihinas the people want, and
greatly need. Thiols the Latimer good
roads move will be adopted and the gov*
eminent will help to work out the roads
since the establishment of the rural free
delivery routes; that this will faciliate
travel and thus secure and insure more
|spe?dy and prompt d? livery of mails.
Without good roads these cross country
routes can not be run. Believes in permanent
road building, thinks a citiil engineer
should be employed who would
Jasfe$t better locations for public toads,
ntfuer into consideration the character

HowS truss as being the stronger and
more dtirable bridge.

for commissioner said he felt very grateful
to the people, for they had honered him

fordid not itquire it, but woik was
necessary and lie could do that.
MR. SANFORD WILBURN,
for commissioner, said he wanted to thank
the people for their liberal support of
him in the past and asked that they
again^bonor him with enough more
votes to put him in and be would do

like to talk more, but the rain was too
