as a candidate for county school
superintendent. Mr.. Phillips is
at present at the head of the Con

recognized as one of the foremost
educators of the county. He is
equipped by education and ex-
perience to fill competently the
position which he seeks. The
greater part of his life has been
spent in this county and so he
naturally has the best interest
of the rural schools at heart.
Mr.. Phillips is the brother of
Prof. G A. Phillips, who for a
number of years was superinten-
dent of the Lexington schools
