To the Voters of Cobb county and
the Public generally:-My announce
ment for the office of Sheriff of this
county for the next term will be found
in this issue of this paper. 1t will be
noticed that l mention in this an
nouncement that the constables of the
various districts will be my deputies.
This I have determined to do, and to
allow them the fees that would other
wise go to Deputy Sheriff. In fact,
intend having at least one constable
from each district sworn in as deputy.
These l shall use to attend to that part
of the business that falls to that partic-
ular district of each, and to use the re-
manning constables in their turn to
wait on the Superior court. In this
way l hope to perfect an organization
on the order Of County Police, and have
an arrangement by which can get in
quick touch with them all in any emer-
gency. In this way I can benefit the
constables by their making little ex-
ira compensation, and at the same time
afford better police protection for peo-
pie in the rural districts.
