STOCK BREEDERS
SHOULD ORGANIZE
'-'.~ W. - Y. 1 u
To Promote Interest in All Kinds
of Thoroughbred Live
Stock.
And To Advertise and Spread the
Excellent Breeds Vow in
the County.

During the past two weeks the
Advance has been interviewing q
number of the leading stock men
on the proposition of organizing a
Stock Breeders Association, and
the suggestion has met with favor
able reception everywhere. A great
amount of good can be done by an
association of this kind in stimula-
ting interest in thoroughbred stock.
II every farmer in the county was
producing thoroughbreds instead Of
scrubs the value of the live stock
would be nearly double what it is
now. Mobiles county has some of
the best blood to be found in the
country, representing many Of the
most popular breeds. q. W. Pat
terson g Percheron horses, G.. O.
Moore & Sons Black Polled cattle,
Vim. Malcolm g Duroc Jersey swine
are not excelled anywhere, and
many other farmers have in these
and other breeds just as fine blood.
Great strides have been made in
the past in the improvement Of live
stock in this county, and still great
or improvement will be made in the
future, but the work can be acceler-
ated by an association Differed by
wide awake men and it should be
formed as early as possible. It has
been suggested that the last day Of
the Farmers Institute, to be held
here Friday and Saturday, would
be a good time to launch an organi-
cation, and we would suggest that
all interested in the movement
should be on hand and assist in the
work. s..
Mem bership in an association will
give the breeders better standing
both at home and abroad, and will
create greater demand for pure
bred animals of all kinds, with u
consequent tendency to better the
prices. .':

CANDIDATES CARD.

To THE1voTERs OF THE WEST
VILE MACIsTERIAL DISTRICT.
take the liberty of addressing
you in behalf of my candidacy for
the office of Supervisor of the
WestviIle Magisterial District
Permit me TO assure You that this
contest is none of rhy seeking,
and that it is with regret that |
learn the former Supervisor. Mir.
Ihurston, will oppose me. / had
understood that he would rot be
a candidate. Now, however.
that am the recognized
Democratic nominee. / con-
slider it my duty, to myself and
party, to make the best canvass |
can. and use every fair and leglti-
mate means to insure my election
In regard to the questions now
attracting public attention in this
county, | desire to say that per
sonally l would favor the reduc-
ton of the county levy to a
point sufficient to meet the
county expenses, and the cor
responding increase of the
school levy. l would favor
the first proposition because l be-
lieve it to beithe true purpose of
government to take from the citi-
zen in taxes only so much as is
necessary to protect the citizen
in the administration of Justice.
and insure the conducting of pub
lie affairs in an economical man
ner. l favor increasing the
school levy, because by so
doing we can give our chill
drsn better school facilities
without increasing the present tax
rate. In the cventFof my eleva-
ton to the position of Supervisor,
| shall steadily vote against the
arbitrary increase of taxation for
any purpose without first sub
hitting the advisability of such
increase TO the people, for con-
firmation or rejection. In my
opinion, to do otherwise is form
of taxation without representa-
ton, which is at best contrary to
a Republican form of government.
To the question Of good roads
| have given more time and study
than TO any other matter outside
of my own personal affairs, and
the duties of my position as Sec
retaIy of the Southside Agricul-
tural Association, and it is my
opinion that the maintenance of
good roads, certainly over the
greater part of Mathews county,
is simply Il question of proper
drainage. Our present road levy
amounts in round numbers TO
about $50 per mile, and in my
opinion is ample to repair the
bridges, to grade, crown aud
smooth the public highways and
maintain as good surface at all
times Except during freezing
weather. as our citizens desire
or need.
In closing this card please per-
NIT me 10 say that shOp!G YOU
think Mr., ThuretOn the proper
rolS to represent you in this re-
sponsible position 1 will endeavor
