with the opportunity again in the near
future of listening to another such
speech. We think Bro. Smith is the
right man in the right place. We
want to thank him for the interest he
is taking in our Children al d
the children of our county ut
large. We feel sure the board of sup
erv .sors made the right step in the
right direction when they allowed
him the full salary THAI the law al
lows for his services. 1t enables him
to devote his whole time in interest
of our public schools and there is not
more important Office in the county
to be filled, and our supervisors could
not devote part of time in more
profitable way than to use their best
endeavors for the advancement OF the
education of our children. 1t is a
very important question and demands
close attention-closer than 1t has had
in the past. 1t seems that we have a
very considerate board of supervisors.
The writer has known Prof. Smith
for several years and in proclaiming
him to be competent gentleman in
every particular, enough is said to
sanction an unreserved commentator
of his candidacy and we bespeak for
him the support which his merits en-
title him to receive; and as public
servant we feel sure that he will use
every endeavor to discharge his duty
as q county superintendent of educa-
tion should and orght to.
| There are SO many good men run
ming for Office the writer almost wish
es there was an Office for ali, but al
that rs not the case the voters have $
good lot of men to select from as tt
whom they would like to have fill thu
few Offices of our county and state
and it will be impossible to put in thu
wrong man. Every candidate i'll tn
race will bear us out in this remark
as every one doubtless thinks he is thu
right man. We have only this to sa,
to those who do not get defeated: d
not stop running, as the short races il
this county for Office is thing of tn
past.
We Just simply mention the abov
for the consolation of those who d.
get defeated, as we do not think an
one has lost anything by making tn
race for Office. Thev have had tn
opportunity of making lots of ne,
acQuaintances and meeting with tn
people all over the county; they hav

To The Lexington Advertiser:
As we have been thinking for some
time of writing a piece for print, and
since hearing Prof. Smiths speech
at Harland's Creek, we feel more like
writing than ever. 1t being our first
opportunity to listen to a speech made
by our county superintendent of edu-
ctaion, we feel like complimenting
him, as his speech was very interest.
