CARD.

To THE DEMOCRATS OF POWELL
COUNTY:
Believing that a public officer
is a public trust, and that the
filling of Offices by the people
should be done with ratio to
enable the people to get the best
service from those chosen to ex-
ercise that trust, and, believing
further that the office is some
thing more than mere form or po-
litical pie to be distributed to
candidates without regard to the
qualifications or fitness of the
candidate for office, l announce
myself as a candidate for the
nomination as Democratic can
didate for the office of County
Clerk.
Having served you as Circuit
Clerk, and acting all that time as
a deputy County Clerk, during
which time / devoted all my time
and attention to the Office, ! feel
that my experience in these offic-
es will enable me to render bet
ter service to the people, than |
could render had / had no expe-
rience in office. / do not make
this statement as a reflection on
any of the, other candidates for
this office, because they are all
good men and my friends, but
simply from a business stand
point for it seems to me that in
having a man to labor for you,
you would rather have a man
that has had experience along
the line Of labor you wished per-
formsa<
AS t6g Bmocracy, you will
remember that at the last cleo
ton you filed the office which |
had held and was a candidate
for again, with a man who was
both gentleman and an expe-
rienced clerk, and after his NOM
ination, there are those who will
bear me witness, that it was
through my efforts that your
candidate for this office had no
opposition in his final race.
With these few things for
your consideration, and other
facts, l wish to state, in cOnclu-
sion, that / am a candidate for
myself alone and am not run
ming in connection or for the ben
eft of any other candidate for
other county Offices.
l submit to you my claim, and
whether you see fit to honor me
with the nomination for this
Office or not, / will then, as l do
now, and always will be able to
say from my heart, ! am DEM
ocrat. Very respectfully yours,
A. III. NORTON.

TROUBLE WITH A DRIVER.
He is Alleged to Have Refused to Obey
Policeman

The sight of a colored man struggling TO
get away from two policemen furnished en-
tertainment for a crowd OF curious people
in the vicinity of the District building and
police headquarters this forenoon. People
who witnessed the affair thought the strug-
Cling prisoner had committed something
more than alleged violation of a police
regulation because of the violent manner
in which he was struggling. Such was not
the case, however, for his arrest had fol-
lowed his refusal to obey the request of Po-
liceman McKeever that he move his vehicle
a few feet in order to make more room for
the drivers of other teams. When II devel-
oped that the man under arrest was Robert
Lewis, driver of Commissioner Macfar-
lands horse. Detective F'lather was sent TO
overtake the trio and order the release os
the prisoner. Then Lewis came back and
stopped al police headquarters, where he
made charge that the policeman had re-
ferred to him as - niger" This accu-
sation was promptly denied and statements
as to what really occurred are being OBJ
tanned by the police. The police have been
| instructed to keep the space in front of the
District building clear and 1t was while
this order WAS being carried out that the
cOlOred driver took issue with the police
department He is alleged to have stated
that he was ;he Commissioners driver. and
he would show that the police department
is not going TO regulate things about the
building. Policeman Fraser went to the as
sistance of mis- brother officer when he saw
the struggle, and WILL therefore. hardly
come In for share of the complaint. On
part of the police II Is alleged that the driv-
er's refusal to heed the advice of the officer
was given in harsh manner He Is al
legged to have referred to his employer as
plain mcfarland and to the chief of police
as Sylvester. Commissioner mcfarland
heard the drivers version of the affair and
then asked Major Sylvester to give the side
of the officer. Lewis said to his employer
that he was standing with his team In the
customary place. in the shade. and declined
to move when the policeman gave him such
an order The policeman. he stated. would
have nothing but move on" for an answer
and referred to him as a - niger HIS
team, he explained. was not directly In
front of the entrance to the District build
ing Several persons who were standing
near the team when the trouble occurred
called at police headquarters afterward ana
made statements in which they denied that
the policeman used the language attributed
to him by the driver.
