HOLLYWOOD PUPILS
RECEIVE DIPLOMAS
UNION HIGH SCHOOL SHOWS
WONDERFUL GROWTH
High Class Program Rendered with
Telling Effect Before Large
Audience of Relatives and
Friends of Scholars

The Hollywood Union high school
graduated nine boys and twelve girls
Thursday night in the presence OF
large audience of friends and rela-
tives. This school has been organized
just five years. During this time 1t has
grown from an enrolment of forty
students to two hundred and twenty
and the faculty has increased from
three to eleven. The assessed valua-
ton of the district has also grown so
rapidly that the rate for high school
purposes remains the same as the first
year-20 cents on the $780,. This en-
ables the trustees to secure efficient
teachers. The policy of the board Is
to be careful in the selection and to
keep them as long as possible.
The faculty for next year will be
the same as this with the one excep-
ton that the director of physical cul-
ture retires for other work and will
be followed by Charles A. Webster of
Michigan. 1t consists of the following:
]. o. Churchill, principal; Elizabeth
German; Elizabeth Wood, English;
Charles I. Hayes, physics. chemistry
and botany; Bertha Green, Latin;
Genevieve Decker, mathematics; Ketu-
rah Paul. Spanish and physical geog-

Mills has pointed to the Increase price
of regular print cloths as an evidence
of the certainty among business men
of the election OF William II. Taft as
President The demand for such

and caused the shipment of more
than iOO,O 900 bales of cotton from Sa-
vannah to Boston within the last three
weeks. Mr.. Borden pointed out that
such activity might be considered as~a
precursor of a business boom and he
said that the cotton goods business

Germs now were on profitable basis.

Why should not Wade Coffman be
elected circuit clerk? He is a SPLEEN
did young man. a member of prom
inent Harrison county family and is
even more than necessarily competent
to discharge the duties OF the Office.
The Coffman family OF which he is a
member has long been numbered
among the leading, upright, conscien-
tIous citizens of Tenmile district and
other parts of the county. They are
staunch Republicans. believing sim
cerely In the doctrines of Republican
ism. Wade, too, is a Republican
through and through. He has al
ways helped the Republicans in their
battles, has always lent aShelping
hand as a private in the ranks, has
always taken a keen interest in the
interests of his party, but never with
out regard for the welfare OF his
and Ibis fellow men.
Neither Wade Coffman nor his
family has made practice of striv-
ing to land in office. The nomination
came to him as a deserved recognition
of his integrity, his ability and his
staunch Republication. Mr.. Con-

shown the people OF the county by
his brilliant writings as newspaper
editor. He possesses an agreeable

That old Harrison county is going
to roll up a handsome majority for
the entire Repu blican ticket is clear
ly indicated by the close attention
and intense enthusiasm manifested by
the large crowds that have been at
tending the various Republican po-
Htical meetings held in the county
during the last week or ten days. At
every single gathering there has been
a packed house, a genuinely hearty
reception has been rendered the speak
ers, and all have listened attentively
to the able expeditions of Republican

under them, and the faithful and Ell

The Democratic candidate for
sheriff of Harrison county is out In a
closely type-written letter, in which
he attempts to cast reflections upon
the present administration of-that Of
ice by SherIR John NJ. Flanagan, Of
whom prominent Dem ocrats say they
never knew a better sheriff in every
respect.
Both Democrats and Republicans
resent the insinuations made against
John NJ. Flanagan as sheriff of the
county by Michael j. Francis in the
letter he has been distributing over
the county. He undertakes to leave
the impression that Sheriff Flanagan
has not been n proper conservator OF
the peace and slyly makes the false
charge that he has been controlled
by or subject to the influence of
special interests" and that there was
wrong-doing on the part of the sherih
becaus OF that. Every one knows
that a statement Implying any such
thing to Sheriff Flanagan Is based on
false premises and does him an mex
cusable injustice.

=, While schfef interest in the ap-
pF6achins election Is conferred upon
the candidates for president, COVER
nor and the leading county Offices,
the voters should not overlook the
fact that the office of Justice of the
peace Is in reality one of the import
ant oflces demanding the solicitous
regard Of the people. The justice OF
the peace is the man who drst OF All
is the conservator of the peace and
order and the arbtter of wrong doing
in hds neighborhood. 1t is his court
that serves as the guardian of the
peoples welfare, their protection and
their pursuit of happiness and enjoy
ment against petty depredations and
wrong doing. A Justice OF the
peace should be a man whose char
acter is above reproach and whose
knowledge of legal procedure and
sense of common Jutstce are such as
to command the respect OF his fellow
citizens.
One of the most important magts-
terial Offices in Harrison county Is
that which has been so ably occupied
by Magistrate George Harry Gordon
in Coal district. He has given his
entire time to his duties. has applied
himself with diligence and care to the
end that he serve the people hon
estly, conscientiously and tmpartially.
No one can say thing against Harry
Gordon's official record and none viii
even attempt to say anything against
him personally for all have the high
est esteem and respect for him. He
is a candidate for reelection and he
certainly merits the united support
of all the citizens OF Coal district.
Justice James N. David has the con-
hdence and respect of evrey member
of the Harrison county bar. He is
learned in the law He ds fair and:
honest in his judgment. He possess
es a splendid judicial mind. He is
an ideal justice OF the peace. Be
sides, he fought for his country and
flag and he is one who has ever been
steadfast in the Republican faith. He
has been nominated by the Republic
cans for reelection. He should have
the vote of every Republican In
Clark district, and he merits the sup
port of Democrats, many OF whom
will dou btIess vote for him.
Justice John T. Flynn has served
his community well, too, looking
faithfully after the peace and dig
nifty OF the state and passing careful
ly and wisely on civil business before
him. He should be reelected be-
cause of his past good work.
w. P. Camp formerly served as
justice OF the peace and is familiar
with the duties oof that Office. No
mistake will be made In electing him.
He is fair, he is square.

vices rendered the county that his
ability is the kind that counts, the
kind that is coupled with energy and
righteous conviction. When occasions
arise for him to apply his ability and
his knowledge they are applied with
results as his record OF prosecutions
does demonstrate. With VIII Norris
as prosecuting attorney, the people
will have no fear that their interests
will not be ably and carefully guard
ed. The people will show wisdom In
electing Will E. Morris to that Office.

The next astounding Ilginua ton
made 81 Francis against Flanagan IS
,fodnd 81 these words, which appear
to have been put In the letter TO play
upon the creduifty Of the people,
when ne speaks Of large opportunttie
the sheriff has In the handling of
funds. for dishonesty, corruption
and oppression" Only a candidate
driven to the very depths OF desper-
alton would essay to even intimate
that Opportunities Of this character
were ever ayafled by Sheriff John n.
Flanagan.
In his circular Francis undertakes
to describe the character and kind
of deputies he would have, II elect
ed, but he fails2to name them In
this connection there Is wide belief
that he has virtually already made
his selections, IN fact, the matter In
at least one instance Is said to have
been fully discussed in lawyers
once here before Francis was nomi-
mated and was decided. At that
meeting the acknowledged injustice
done Mortimer w. Smith, when he
ran for sheriff on the Democratic
ticket, by demands that he should not
appoint a certain man as deputy was
made the OCCASION of a repentanc
which consisted in the selection of
one of the deputies Francis should be
obligated to pick.
Not content, however, with insinu-
ations against the present personnel,
Mr.. Francis takes occasion to revive
ancient Democratic history. when he
digs up the long-buried practice OF
the ''dishonor OF county orders. to
the end that opportunities may be Of
fered for discounting them" and the
"shaving of county orders in the sher-
iff's office" While the Telegram had
not forgotten this bit of Democratic
history, yet It scarcely expected to
use it extensively in this campaign,
but since Mr.. Francis Is so mindful OF
what his own party did and what
some Of those now most strongly
backing him did in this respect, 1t is
not amiss to men ton it here. Should
he be elected, Mr.. Francis. though
his Intentions be good. might learn
that he was powerless to keep Demo-
cratic history from repeating itself.
and he might wake up some morning
to learn that the imam around the
corner was obliging the holders of
county orders by exacting from them
a liberal discount before they could
get any cash on the amount due
them from the county and teachers
funds, as was done, when Democracy
reIgned supreme in Harrison county.
And. last but not least, Mr.. Francis
uses these words in the closing para
graph OF his campaign circular: Il
am soliciting the votes Of the good
citizens Of this county irrespective
of party. At this information
number OF good, substantial Demo
cratic citizens broadly smile, when
they recall a goodIy portion of the
personnel of some of the packed pri-
maries In Francis's interest, and
broader one replaces It, when they
think how welcome to him will be
the votes of even those who are not
good citizens"
