Jeff Hicks, the Pine Bluff Capitalist Interested in Monticello Enter
 priSeS

Mr. Jeff Hicks, of Pine Bluff and one of the wealthiest men in Arkansas, was in our city last week. He has purchased a con trolling interest in the Monticello Ice Factory. and we are reliably informed that he is going to over haul the building, put in new ma chinery and greatly increase the capacity of the plant Mir. Hicks IS the largest ice manufacturer in the state and perfectly understands the business. He has the intelli- gence, the pluck and the means to make a success of whatever he takes hold of, and the fact that he has interested himself in the Non ticello Ice Factory insures its sue cessful operation beyond the per. adventure of doubt. Work will begin on the new plant at an early day, and Monticello will have an Ice Factory second to none in the state.

wife to commit such an abortion upon the
people of Adams county by misleading
statements? The writer was chief deputy
under Sheriff J. A. Thompson during the
stirring times when the county handled
the Alfred j. Symes murder case. which
cost this. county $4,000. putting the sher.
ifs office to the test and the officers on
their metal. The young chap who is
writing the unwarranted attacks against
us had never seen the state at that time,
and knows nothing of the trying ordeal
through which the officers passed in that
important and notorious case. But no
prisoners escaped from Jail or officers
during Sheriff Thompson's four years
administration. The stock stealing gangs
quit the country when Symes was con.
victed in 1896 and sentenced to nineteen
years servitude in the pententiary, but
was pardoned year ago, and is now at
Niles, Yakima county, enjoying pure air.
Another unfair statement made by our
competitor is that we were first against
Nc Bride, then for him-now for Mead"

A Word in Self Defense.

We have no desire to engage in a
newspaper controversy, but occasionally
it cannot be avoided
The Times, published IN this city. is
venting Its jealous spleen against the ed
itor OF this paper and the regular repub-
lican nominee for sheriff of Adams
county. Two powerful efforts" have
appeared in its columns and the labori-
Gus pains are still felt in that little joint.
1t seems that the present incumbent in
the sheriff's office, repeatedly defeated
for denomination. then defeated in cleo
ton, and now, after holding the Office two
terms, and being ineligible for another,
concluded to become, auditor, but could
not raise corporals guard in the con-
vention, so he has conceived another
bright idea to hold on to the sheriff S
Office by electing his deputy, and he is
now turning heaven and earth in the
herculanian task in face of the fact that
scores of prominent democrats abso-
lutely refuse to support the democratic
nominee. The present sheriff dies hard
in pulling loose from the public teat.
If the republican candidate stands mo
show OF being elected" then why all this
fuss, and why is the Times acong as mid

cerned. We were always, and are now.
for railway commission in this state.
but would have supported Mr.. Mcbride
had he been nominated for governor.
We do not feel that we are bigger and
wiser than convention, and we have
always abded by its results.
The county convention honored us with
the nomination for sheriff over three
other worthy and prominent citizens who
were candidates for the shrievalty and
we believe that in view of the strong
representative body composing that
gathering that they knew well what they
were about, and that their choice of a
man for sheriff was most fairly attained.
While deputy sheriff in 1893 we were
nominated for county clerk and elected
by the heaviest majority on the ticket
where there was any contest for the
office. We were the nominee of the re-
publican party fourteen years ago for
sheriff and only lost the office by 2, votes
in democratic year, and never left the
town in the interest of canvass. We
have lived in Ritzville twenty years, it is
our home. We expect to remain.
We have seen many bright young men,
and others, come and advise the people
what was best to do They have come
and gone by the dozen. Most of them were
fellows of easy virtue and many resi-
dences. II it is an offensc or crime to
have been on the republican ticket sew
eral times, then we must plead guilty.
We can say, however, that we never have
asked for but one office, and that is sher-
if. as our preference was not to be
nominee for any other position. If
elected | will have no other business to
interfere with my duties, and all nv
personal attention and time will be given
to an active and proper conduct of that
office, though the Times man cannot
understand how we can transact all our
business and take care of the sheriff's
office on the side. When they get "old
enough they will be shown There
are many things they don't understand"
and one of them is the art and profit of
minding their own business.
Adams is not the backwoods county it
may have seemed to be a few years ago,
it having now reached place of import
arce in the state. The personel of county
officers is one in which the people of the
county will carefully consider, and poll
tics in county affairs should absolutely
cut no figure. We hope and expect to
be chosen as the conservator of the peace
of Adams county. notwithstanding the
fierce opposition of the times and GER
tain saloons here and in other towns" to
whom, if elected. we will be under no
obligations.
We deeply share the best interests of
the county and the people, realizing the
grave responsibility that would rest in as
suming the position to which we respect
fully aspire, reposing confidence in the
citizens, and which. we trust is recipro-
Gated to some extent.
