AVOID A PUBLIC CALAMITY

Selfgoverment is the great blessing which has
been handed down to by the fathers of the republic and
its highly important that we show full appreciation
Of the boon which has come to u.s. To prove ourselves
worthy of this inestimabe political heritage must
make proper of the ballot and in instance we
do this to greater advantage than in the affairs Of our own
county The election is scarcely three weeks away and it
is all important that be ready to do part when we
stand before the ballot box IT must be remembered that
acting in defense of our property and our families
therefore must 90 to the polls to act in unison with our
neighbors in securing good government 1t is square
deal must demand and the Lords knows that is little
enough to ask.
The most important office in county is that Of
county Judge This high position has much to do with
the veal or woe of our local governments therefore this Of
fical should be every inch Judge in order that the
scales Of Justice may be properly balanced during the
past four years many thousands OF dollars have passed
through the county court; this money was furnished BY
the tax payers Some $4,000 of the expended was
used on our highways and most people know we have
little to show for it, Scarcely a mile of permanent road
has been constructed The idea has been to fill up the
highway in summer with material of which to make I'M
passable mud in the winter This is direct injury to the
property owner be he farmer fruit grower miner or busl-
ness man This wiful waste has brought woefu want
of public highways Good roads will enable us to haul
heavy loads of produce to town the year around and will
add to the general prosperity OF the people OF the entire
county Our present roads good only six months in
the year If that is all looking for then half the
money they have cost would be large sum to pay for so
little
We are now afforded opportunity to bring pros
perty to all parts of Josephine county by reforming the
county court We need in the office OF county Judge
who will do things and do them the proper way and who
will not think it more important to keep his ear to the
ground to determine his political chances rather than
serve the best interest of the tax payers There are two
good men in nomination for positions in the county court
NJ j. Anderson Judge has every qualification called for
to fill this high position Should he be elected he will serve
the county in manner that will give satisfaction to those
who pay the taxes Of the county, well those who are
interested in the upbudmg of our industrial and CONNER
ca interests His election will be the beginning of bet
ter conditions all lines of business, This office is close
ly connected with everything material i'll our county and
to place man of Andesons ability and integrity at the
head of the is the to do at this time Should the
voters of this county by their ballots continue the old
regime it would be public calamity

YESTERDAYS REGISTRATION.

Yesterday was great day for the
negro voters of the city-"the colored
man and brother" Five hundred OF
him had his name put on the books
in order to be able to vote a the pri-
mary election Sept Il. His interest
was aroused chiefly, II seems, on ac-
count of Sheriff Nellis, whom he
seems determined to nominate as the
Republican candidate for reelection
to the office of sheriff. Mr. NelHs
was a very busy man yesterday, as
were also a number of his friends,
and 1t appears that he repends largely
II not wholly upon the support of the
negro voters to carry MIN through.
When it is considered that the negro
vote constitutes about two to one oil
the Republican party or the city and
that there is strong opposition to him
among the white voters of the party.
he can not be blamed
There was much complaint among
the white voters yesterday because
they cauld not get to the Election
commissioners, to have their names
taken or their addresses changed.
The negroes had been drummed up
SO successfully that they blocked the
entrance to the office all day and
Wen into the night, and many of the
4
white voters left in disgust. This
was due in part to the want OF
proper arrangements to accommodate
the voters who had to climb up mar.
row stairway and pass through long
nan to reach the Office or the commits.
sloners, returning the same way.
/ Probably the commissioners did not
expect so large number OF voters TO
apply for registration.
There is reason to believe that
quite a number Of fatty affidayits
We're filed. The commissioners ac.
cepted all that we're offered, having
no means Of determining whether
