f. s. MILLS.
Captain E. S. Mills is well known
to the people as q staunch Republican.
He has lived in Mobiles county seven
years and during four of these he
served rs member Of the Board of
County Commissioners, three years
as Chairman Of the Board Of Audit
Before coming to this county he SER
we'd for some years as member Of
the Board Of Supervisors for Catta-
raugus county, N. Y, where, in set
Ting county accounts, he became fl
miliar with the principles connected
with them, and this experience RI
pened into a work presenting a new
system Of keeping public accounts
which has been commended by Exam
liner Knox and by all. good Judges as
one which should be adopted as a
means Of detecting deEllcations and
giving uniformity to public accounts.
We believe him to he the most COM
petent man in the county for the Of
flee Of County Auditor. lie is a man
of irreproachablc character, of strict
integrity, has good soldiers record,
and, best Of all, is stern and scrupu-
lous in the performance Of public du-
ty. lie was the first Chairman of the
Board to have the books Of the county
thoroughly overhaulcd and full re-
port made of the financial condition
of the county by the Board of Audit.
lie insisted upon strictly complying
with the law, and for this he incurred
the enmity Of the Ring men. Here
was man whom they could not fuse"
tor their schemes, and they determiu-
ell to drive him out Of public position
and therefore when he received the
nomination from both parties for Au-
ditor two years ago, they combined
against him and literally lied him ont
of III election. There are scores of
men in the county who voted against
him who are now satisfied that he was
unfairly dealt with two years ago and
who will vote for him at the coming
election.
Soon after the breaking out of the
rebellion, Captain Mills volunteered
as a private, was elected Captain of
the company, served through the war
with good record and has an honor
able discharge from the service.
II. c. SHEPARD.

member Of the firm of H. G. Shepard
Il Co. lie is known here as a num-
Der l business man and thoroughly
reliable. Mi. S. came to \Vortlino-
ton from Saltwater where he is we'll
known from having been prominent

service, coming out with good re-
cord, and has served three terms as
City Treasurer of Saltwater. lie al
so served as City Engineer and Coun-
ty Surveyor, and in business has op-
Grated in real estate and lumber. As
to his character competency and gen.
eral fitness for any County office,
there is nodo,lbt whatever. THERE'S no
"cloud Oh his title" to Il good name
and character.
