HAYNES WILL RUN AGAIN.
Announces His Candidacy for Commits
sioner from North District.

S. H. Haynes, county commissioner
from the North district, has announced
himself as a candidate for renomina-
ton.
Mr.. Haynes has made a good record
as commissioner. He is a man of strict
integrity, fine business capacity and a
willing WORKER.
The general feeling is that the present
board Of county commissioners are
conducting the affairs of the county in
an efficient manner, and Mr. Haynes
is entitled to his full share of credit for
the results which have beeA achieved.
People throughout the county are as
much interested or more in the COM
missioner than any other officer and
the result Of the primary viii show
that they appreciate honest and capable
service. With the moderate salary paid
to the commissioners they have never
been placed in the class of those off
GERS who are restricted to tive terms on
large salaries.

M GREAT PERIL.
AM Efforts to Relieve the

"a Life Crew Added to the Num-

Atlantic City, n. j., Jan. l3.-As the
night advances the position Of the
Stranded steamer Cherokee of the Clyde
line of shore, becomes more and more
dangerous and there is a chance that
she will never come of the sand as a
bowling gale is blowing from the north
and it is impossible for the wrecking
steamers and tugs TO approach her Very
heavy seas are breaking over the yes
sci from stern to stern and only one
man can be distinguished aboard, the
others apparently having Withdrawn in
TO shelter.
Hex ten Passengers and her crew OF
- have been augmented by the crew
OF the life saving station at South
BrigantiDe station who went aboard
Saturday and whose life boat was
smashed to pieces by huge comber
against the steel side of the Cherokee.
The big ocean going tug North America
is standing by the steamer, although a
fun mile out to sea and viii likely re-
main there i'm the hope that the weather
viii moderate within the next q hours
and thus enable another attempt to be
made to float the Cherokee.
Before the storm came up the tug
was able to pull the stern of the vessel
around so that she now lies head up
with the wind and this has softened the
force of the waves, which as they were

The second crew of the South Brigan-

ready to use their breeches buoy ap-
paratus in case the Cherokee ~hould
break up during the night. They claim,
however, that the chances are in favor

the sea moderate but they viii hardly

portion OF the cargo today and viii

that she is riding the gale as wen as
