FOR REPRESENTATIVE.

At the request of a number of
friends, most of whom are op-
posed to the open saloons, have
decided to announce myself a
candidate for the legislature from
this county, subject to the white
primary, and I earnestly solicit
the support of the legal voters of
the county, and if am elected I
pledge myself to do everything
in my power for the adjustment
of the saloon through local 1egis-
1ation.
Yours to better conditions,
B. E. Wilcox.

CRIMINAL COURT.
Several Important Cases Are
Disposed of.

The criminal court is making
fair progress with the docket
and several cases have been dis
posed of.
Arthur B1ackshare, Pate Paulk,
Albert Robertson, Lewis Johnson,
Prince Hall, Henry Blanchard,
Ben Feston and Lee King, charg-
ed with various misdemeanors
have been found guilty.
Carrie Alexander, charged
with the murder of the convict,
Geo. Rice, probably saved her
neck from the hangman's moose
by entering a plea of voluntary
manslaughter and received a
sentence of twelve years in the
penitentiary..
Kid Spencer, charged with as
sault with intent to murder, was
found guilty, and the robbery
cases against Lucius Quinn and
Curly Ward are in pkogress as
we go to press.
This will dispose of most of
the important cases on the dock
ct and the court will find an OPP
portunity to adjourn earlier than
was expected. Not however be-
fore about Thursday.

We publish today the announce
ment of Jacob Dorminey, who
stands for reelection as county
commissioner. Mr.. Dorminey
is one of the original commits
sioners named in the act creating
the board and has been faithful
in the discharge of important du-
ties of that Office, although he has
been at some disadvantage with
reference to securing a pro rata
of the road building for this i'm
mediate section. He is one of the
county's Oldest and most honored
citizens and has the utmost con-
fidence of a large circle of ac-
quaintances.

Hon. B. e. Wilcox announces to-
day in the Enterprise for the
office of representative. His
announcement carries in it his
platform and is a characteristic
one. Mr.. Wilcox is considered
leader of the anti-saloon e1e-
ment in the county. He is I'M
compromisingin his opposition to
the open saloons and does not
mince words to express his
position. He is anything but a
trimmer in politics, but is plain
spoken and hard fighter. The
probability is that the saloon
men will bring out a candidate
before the end of the week in
opposition to Mr.. Wilcox. They
regard him as strong foe and
will pick the very strongest man
possible to oppose him. AS it
now stands there is no way to
avoid the issue. 1t is for or
against the open saloon and those
who oppose the saloons have
settled on their candidate and
his name is Ras Wilcox, the
other fellows name is--well
might be most anything but on
April the twentieth will be mud.

She turned pale as she entered the
great hall where ne waited her. and
there was fright in her eyes. The in
spector was a man OF fair education, to
whom good manners came by nature,
which she was quick and grateful to
notice. He began by %apologizing for

he had heard of the letter written to
her by Mr.. Burbage, which 10 doubt
