(. VI. Philp0t for Sherifi,

In our announcement column ao- pears the name of C. M Philpot, as a candidate for reelection to the office of Sheriff and Collector Of Jefferson county, subject to the action of the
 Democratic party at the primary cleo ton to he held December 1, 1909 In stEHbuaeine asain for office Mr. Phil pot stands On an excellent record in
 that capacity for thp pas, threp years and has some good claims fer another endorsement. Under his guidance and personal direction the business in every branch of that office has been done promptly and efficiently. Not only has Mr. Philpot proven himself good, conservative officer, but he has been careful in selecting his as
 slstants, with the result that the deputy sherilfs and deputy collectors under him have performed their duties In most satisfactory manner. With few exceptions none of his predecessors nave been as active in that office No crime has ever been reported in this county that Sheriff Philpot was not always ready to do his full duty. He has not depended upon his deputies. as has been the case in the past. but has gone to the scene each time and made personal investigations and arrests. He has been tried in bravery and has never failed to do his full duty On several occasions he has been placed in positions where cool headed and determination was all that could save the law and his orders prevailed on each occasion. C. NJ. Phllpot is an honorable man, man will uphold the law at any cost and who can always be relied on for by alty to his constituency and his allty to his conconstituency and his oath of office. He served this town snip as constable and the city as chief of police and his records in those of flces are equally as flattering as that or his present service His claims are deserving of the consideration of the Democrats of this county.

 Guests.

It was an unluckF night for thirteei, new candidates who presented them selves at the Eagles Hall last night to enjoy the mysteries of that order Every one of them got what was com ing to him and the evening was one ot great enjoyment for a large assemb- lage of members of the Pine Bluff Aerle. Sheriff Bert l.. Roberts and Deputy Sheriff Louis Reinhardt, of Little Rock, were present and took part in the festivities.
 Much business was transacted by the lodge last night, it being the last meeting night of the order before the big state convention, which will be held in this city for three days next week Attorney T. Havs Nixon. who was elected one of the delegates to the state convention from the local aerle was excused as he will be out oi the city next week on legal business elsewhere. and W. C.

 President Edgar Brewster also ap- pointed committee, including r. A. Drummond, C. M. Philpot and Meyer
 Solmson. to confer with the auto owners and ascertain how many ma chimes could be secured gratis for one hour on the afternoon of the second day of the convention, to give the Ladies Auxiliary an opportunity to show the visiting ladies over the ely.
