If you stand by this old prey head he will deliver you from >ondage. When I went to the legislature I found the county bankrupt, busted. I am personally responsible for clearing up the deficit; I am perpersonally responsible for good roads. I fought for the hydro-electric bill, and am personally responsible for extending time for payment of taxes. He also claimed to have reduced state taxes. When you make one man a millionaire you make a million paupers. Mr. J. A. Spruill was the last speaker in the race for the Senate. Mr. Spruill told his hearers that the big thing in the State and county's financial problem is not so much the collecting as the spending. Anybody can collect, but it takes hard business sense to get your dollars worth when you go to spend. The proper use of the state's money can be best accomplished by men accustomed to business success. "Uncle Sam," he said, is honest,but he has his figures badly mixed. He told his hearers that if the county was bankrupt when Uncle Sam went to the legislature it is in a worse state of bankrupty today, because its debt is greater. This debt is so great that it is going to take real business ability to handle it. If we continue to borrow money at a high rate of interest, as we have been doing, we can never do more than paji the interest. What we should do is to float a series of bonds, bearing 15 per cent, interest and take them up a few at a time and thereby gpraduall.N reduce or entirely clear up the debt For this you need a mature man oi business judgment and ability. I have had experience in finances of this na ture and successly straightened out the affairs of a good town thai was financially in a bad way. I offei you my services. Judge of Probate Court Judge M. J. Hough, candidate foi reelection as Judge of Probate Courl was next introduced. The judge said that his opponent was a nice fellow and they had agreed to pitch their campaign on a higl plane, free from personalities. "I arr asking for re-election to this office,' he said, "on the ground of my ability to fill the office. It is a judicial one in nature. If there is one office in the county that requires the services o: a man trained in the law it is the office of the Probate Court. He has to loot after the equity side of our jurisprudence. Since the time of Judge Tiller, . jdge Huntley and Judge Hanna tht duties of this office have been greatly enlarged. "The attorneys of this county are the only ones who have a just complaint against my office. I have saved many attorneys fees by settling matters for your people free of charge The office pays me about $500 a year I could have made it pay me $1,000 by making the charges that the law permits me to make.

I have no1 lived entirely for myself and if re elected will assure you the same courteous and fair treatment as before.' Mr. William Thomas Hunt was the last speaker on the program. He said in part: This is my first time before you and I am sorry I cannot make s speech. I am seeking the office because I need it and thought I would see il the people felt like giving me a chance. If elected I will give you my ver> best service. After I was mustered out of service I was given a two-yeai cuum* 01 8iuay aiong lines that would help me to fill this office.
