Bess%mer Weekly.
 In this issue is found the announce ment of w. c. McTyeire. His card reads; "W c. MeTyere. beat 33, candidate for commissioner from the First district. Your vote may nominate me. Subject to democratic primary. Investigate and vote accord.ngly-I respectfully invite the voters of Jefferson county to a rigid investigation and criticism of my hon esty, integrity, rela hility, epergy. so- briety, competency and democracy. If stand the crucial test and fill the full measure of an officer to direct the busi- ness of the commissioners court, l will be pleased to be honrred with your Suf- frage If elected I will not betray your confidence; if not my defeat will in no wise abate my zea. and devotion to the cause" There is no man in Jefferson county that has higher claim to the above virtues than Colonel McTyeire, and if any man ih the county can stand the straight edge to them all, he can. Not only SO; he Is an educated, Christian gentleman; he is a good writer and a. fluent speaker; he Is good campaigner, as the ca mpagn commlttss of two years ago well know; he made a good soldier aud surrendered his sword at Greensboro, N c. Since he has been quiet citizen He never before asked for an office. While his hair is tinged with gray, he is by no means a fogy of the old school. He Is progressive, broad-minded and liberal an his views and has the courage to stand by his convictions He makes no prom ises other than to do his full duty without partlality, fear or favortlsm, He has no pets to serve nor private schemes to ma- ferialize. He has made a success of his own business and can confidently ask of the people to take charge of theirs.
