why Harry A. Place Is Entitled 10 the
Onice of County Clerk

Why Harry "A. Place Is Enhtied 10 tne
Once of Couaty Clerk
An article is going the rounds of the
county papers, setting forth the alleged
reason Why the present incumbent Of the
county clerks office should have fourth
term, and il the reason is true fifth and
sixth term and so on TO the exclusion
Of all others who may have aspirations in
that direction
The article says the present clerk can
greatly expedite and shorten the sessions
OF the board Of supervisors and also the
work Of the circuit court Now It may DO
possible that he can. but the record show
and the facts are that he has not ard that
he cannot do either. The sessions Of the
board and the terms of the court were
never longer than in the last six years.
The power to shorten either is with the
chairman of the board and the judge Of
the court
The article says further. The members
Of the board Of supervisors, as well as the
attorneys, say that Harry j. Holbrook is
thoroughly competent and prompt in the
discharge Of his duties as clerk" That
may be; no one has questioned it They
have said the same Of his predecessors
and will say the same of his successors.
As to his being the county accountant,
he is not, never has been and never will
be. The county treasurer is the county
accountant, and every township treasure,
in the county knows that the county treas
urer receives and disburses the funds Of
the county and is the county bookkeeper

Freeing British Slaves.

The 1st of August, 1884, was the

prentice laborers to their masters in
two classes, one of which would re-
ceive its actual freedom in 1898, and
the other in 1910, About 100000 600

Force Of Storm Waves.

The average storm wave Is 80 feet
in height; the highest storm waves
ever measured were between A feet
and As feet high. The gigantic force
of storm waves Is shown by the fact
that at Skerryvore lighthouse, off the
west coast of Scotland. a mass Of
rock weighing 51a tons was once
hurled to a height of ~ feet above the
sea level while mass weighing 1912
tons was torn from cliff "a feet high.

These. the article goes on to say, are
the reasons that the supervisors and at
torneys are supporting Mr. Holbrook for
denomination and fourth term You
would infer from the above that all the
attorneys and all the supervisors are sup
porting Mr.. Holbrook for a fourth term,
which is not true. There are many at
torneys and number Of supervisors who
believe that among the hundreds Of edu-
Gated and cultured young men Of the
county there are many just as competent
to perform the duties of county clerk as
the present incumbent, and that they will
not support him for fourth term.
If there is not person in the county
competent to succeed him, then the good
people Of the county should get hustle
on them and manufacture one expressly
for the position, for ia the course of human
events Mr.. Holbrook may be gathered to
his fathers. 1t cannot be expected that
