by the sheriff and his deputies. Right
at this very moment there is a young
lady from Democratic family employ
cd in that office, and yet the News
wants to make the impression that none
but the chosen are given anything to
do. The fact is the sheriff and hi-
deputies did not take politics into con
sideration, wnen they employed young
ladies to assist them on the books.
Again, it is pertinent here to review
the action Of the school board Of the
city. Take the superintendency for in
stance. That office has been SIZED BY
Democrats the past fifteen years or more
and during all that long time the boards
have been Republican most Of the time
Docs that Look like the yomg people ii
this county have to do the bidding OF
the Republican leaders, before they can
get position? Does that indicate or
show that there has been malfeasauce
in office along that particular line foi
the upbuildins u the leaders OF She
party? Democratic and Republican
alike shy there has been no politics in
the public school system Of Harrison
county
The institute just closed Is another
example of the unity OF action and the
earnesncss Of effort that exist in the
county toward the public schools. The
man who would say that politics was
in any way injected into that body and
its deliberations knows he would be tell.

to much as several defeated candidates
