ties and Bowenltes whom THE NEWS desires
to defeat.
l. E. W. M. Mackey, the candidate for
sheriff, is not choice in the company he
keeps, and his family name is decidedly
against him; but during his term Of four
years he is not known to have been guilty OF
any official misconduct, and it is better to
bear the ills we have than to rush to others
which may prove to be a thousand times
worse. To reject Mackey, with all his short
comings, would be to jump out OF the frying

risdiction within the city limits, it is not
improper that an educated colored man

candidates for the Office Of County Commits
sioner, are we'll known throughout the city.
They and their colleague, W. G. Fields,
will make up q board who will stop stealing
and waste, and put the affairs Of the county
in order in double quick time.
Z. W. N. Taft, the candidate for Senat or,
is a carpet-bagger, but Of a mild type. 1t is
