The main political interest, how
ever, centres around the choice for
locsl officers. The primary method
Of nominating was adopted by a
small majority, and tn" vote will
be taken August 9Th. The caudi-
dates before tie people tor Tie prin,
cipaI offices are as follows
For Representatives.. Z. Dale
and H. |. Bird.
For SheritE-D. J. Cannon and ID.
NJ. Lee.
For Trcasurer-Alfrcd Sharp
For Assessor-Z. p. Jones, c.. r.
Ashley and Wade Polk.
With such material to select from
the county has guaranty for good
officials for the next two years, Il
nomination being equivalent to an
election. Messrs. Dale and Bird
have both represented their county
in the LEGISLATURE before, and both
have many warm friends and al
mirerS. Mr.. d. J. Cannon, who is
the present incumbent Of the shcr-
IFS Office, has made one of The very
best shcritfs the county ever had,
and to his close collections and
business methods is largely due the
present highly satisfactory coudi,
ton OF county finances. 1t j. not

large and earliest support for he
nomination among that thoughtful
class of voters who believe in the
adagc, Let we'll enough alone"
MIR. d. NJ Lee, his opponent, is the
present county Assessor, is quite
popular personally, and his friends
now want to see him pronoted. Mr..
Alfred Sharp, is the present incum,
bent. He has made 4 capital off
cial, and is So popular throughout
the county that no man can be
found who has the hardihord TO op
pose him. Mr.. L. p. Jones, one OF
the candidates for Assessor, is an
cX-member of the Board Of Super
visors, and is we'll experienced in
county affairs. His opponents,
Mcssrs. Ashley and Polk. it is
claimed by their friends. arc also
well qualified for the office. A. far
as learned there are no candidates
announced for Coroner and Ranger
and Surveyor.
