city, was made the unanimous choice
of the convention. MI. Halphide
is a young gentleman.who has resided
in Mitchell for a number of years
and bears a high reputation in.
social and business circles. He holds
the important position Of agent for
the United States Express Co., and
it is one where business ability and
honesty and competency are required.
In none of these essentials has Mr..
Halphide ever failed his employers
and to the position Of register Of
deeds MI. Halphide will bring the
same good qualities. There is this
about MI. Halphide-if he is elected
to the position he will resign his
place with the express company and
will devote his personal attention to
the duties of the office, something
that has not been done for the past
three years. Tt is not his intention
at all to try and hold both..positions,
for either n or the other would
necessarily be neglected, and2it is
uot in his nature to prove negligent
to a trust imposed either by.priyate
corporations or the public in general.
Voting for MI. Halphide the people
will understand that they have
placed a man in the Office who will be
a credit, tn the n1ace te
Sheridan Cattrell, of this city, is
the candidate of the republican
party for clerk Of courts, and his
ability to perform the duties of the
office cannot be brought into the
slightest question. His associations
in business enterprises in this city
have placed that point beyond all
doubt. Mr.. Cattrell.is an old soldier,
and during the war Of the rebellion
he contributed his services to the
defense Of his country's flag. By
some indefnable right this position
seems to belong to the old soldier, as
the late Nj. L. Bobb was also a de-
fender of the flag, and at his death
a few weeks ago Mr.. Cattrell was APP
pointed to the position, and be will
fulfill the duties of the Office until
after election day, when it is hoped
it will be determined that he will
remain there two years. The duties
of the office + performed in part at
the present time by the daughter of
the late MI. Bobb, and as a recogni-
tion of what is due to the family Mr..
|Cattrell turns the fees. of the posi-
ton to the members. We have the
fullest confidence that Mr.. Cattrell
will ably and fully come up to the
requirements of the duties Of the
office in every particular.
For the position of county super
intendent Of schools the republican
party again rendered the nomination
to Oscar W. Coursey, the young
gentleman who has so acceptably filled
that place for the past two years.
Mr.. Coursey is an educator recognized
throughout the state for his splendid
ability. He gives the closest posi-.
BILE attention to his duties and is
constantly looking after the interests
of the rural schools. The very high
standing they have gained in the
state is all due to the consideration
that the superintendent has giver
the duties Of the Office. There viii
be nc opponent to MI. Coursey from
the democratic party, but thai
should not deter the people from
giying an able educator their hearty
endorsement at the polls in Novem-
Der. His work is entitled to tina
much. 1t can be said Of Mr.. Course!
that he labors in the seducationa
ranks because OF his great love fol
the profession, and teachers that pas
through his hands into the schoo
room can be counted upon as being
we'll qualified to teach the children
of the county. High standard an,
~thoroughness is a motto that th'
superintendent follows himself ant
what he requires Of those under him
1t is this that brings success in hi
line of work.
The republicans have again nomi
mated Judge Winslow Abbey to tn
position Of Judge Of the probat
court. He was nominated four year
y ago and received the high endorse
ment of the electors, and there 4
little reason for making a change il
this public position, which is on
that requires good legal talent, iron
the fact that there is a growing bust
ness in the matter Of the settlin'
estates, and in this capacity tn
