Wonder who will be our next
set of county officers is no longer
the song of the day, for it was
decided yesterday at the Demo-
cratic convention at this place.
1t was a puzzle to know for a
while yesterday who would be
our next sheriff, as there were
ten candidates, two of this town
I-Messrs. J. S. Williamson and
J. M. Clark. EX-Sheriff Wooten,
of Clarkton, and Mr.. Clark soon
took the lead and Wooten soon
saw Clark was the man the peo-
pie wanted and he withdrew and
at sun-down Clark was nominat-
ed for our next sheriff. Mr..
Clark is prominent merchant
of this town, we'll known through
out the county as an excellent
man. For register of deeds, w.
| M. Whitted was nominated again,
and Mr.. VIM. Clark, who has held
the office of treasurer for eight
Iyears, was also renominated. All
the county commissioners were
nominated except one, Mr.. A. A.
Clark. Messrs. N. A. Currie,
Dan Leonard and Sanderlin are
