Election Commissioners Organize.

The Election Commissioners for

commissions and have organized by
electing Thad A. Cox, of this city,
chairman, and P. Fl. Wofford, also of
this city, secretary. The other mem
Der, G. c. Hale, lives at Flouryille, but
can be consulted at any moment by

to state that Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Hale are
the democratic members, and equally
unnecessary to state that Mr.. Wohord
is a republican, their politics is so
we'll known. They are fighters for
their respective parties. Mr., Cox has
been chairman of the city democratic
executive committee for several years,
and is an enthusiastic worker for the
good cause. His appointment by Gov.
McMillin is a deserved compliment
and his selection as chairman of the
