That Company in Columbia on an
Investigating Tour.

The Houston-Liggett pencil facto-
ny began operation at their newly ac-
quired plant at the old pump factory
plant in South Columbia Monday
morning, and are now running with a
good force of hands. They are max
ing pencil Stats rapidly and are u.s.
ing an abundance of the raw mate
rial.
They are working a good force of
hands, but this is to be increased lat
er on as the arrangements are made
to increase the output, and these are
earning an average of $3.50 per day,
and with list of one hundred nands
the pay roll will run to 5000 per
week, with an aggregate of almost
$4,000 for the year
In addition to this will be a con
siderable expenditure of money for
raw materials and other current eX
penses.
The company has nothing but the
best and latest materials and are EN-
ploying expert operators, and will
thus get the maxim of results with
the minimum of expenditure.
The men who are interested in this
enterprise are among the best known
business men in Middle Tennessee
and have been successfully engaged
in the handling of cedar timber and
the manufacture of pencil Stats fol

The result of these investigations
for some time back was the decision
of the Houston-Liggett company tt

JAMES R. STEPHENS
1t is with pleasure and pride that
we point ty the record of the "best
sheriff" Valley county has ever had,
and we can urge his reelection with
the feeling that we are performing a
duty we owe the community. We
wish to repeat and emphasize what
The Enterprise said last week of Jas.
r. Stephens, the Republican candi-
date for sheriff:
Sheriff Stephens has put more
thieves on the run and in the peni-
tentiary and at less expense than any
sheriff we ever had. He has made a
record that should re-elect him-one
to which his partisan friends can
point with pride and one which his
political opponents cannot attack.
He is popular in Malta and will poll
a big vote here.
Sheriff Stephens saved Valley
county $192.7l a month for the
first fourteen months he Was in office
and for the last six months he has
saved the county $52S.77 month.
These figures are shown by the rec
ords in the county clerks office after
a comparison of the expense ac-
counts of Stephens and his prede-
cessor. As the Saco Independent
says this would build a steel bridge
across Milk river. These are incon-
trovertible facts.
W. II. MANN
w. II. Mann is probably one Of the
most conscientious and painstaking
officers the people have ever put to
work. He has toiled unremittingly
for good many years as the servant
of the people, as county surveyor
II has made success Of his job, and
in justice and fairness, he is entitled
to be reelected.
c. c. BEEDE
G. G. Beede will and should be
elected clerk of the district court. 1t
is of vital interest to the people of
the county to have u thoroughly
capable man in so important q
position. Is it not extremely danger
GUS to employ q man who is untried
and unfamiliar with the duties Of the
Office? Beede has the experience and
his record is too we'll known to be
neglected at the polls. Vote for INN.
E. D. BUTTON
ED. Button, candidate for clerk
and recorder, was nominated for this
position because it was known that
he was qualified to high degree to
fill the office. He spent several years
as a principal in several leading
schools in Minnesota and North
Dakota and has made a success as a
dry land farmer in this state. He
should be elected.

VOTERS Of VALLEY COUNTY!

Read and Reflect
This being the last oppor-
tunity we will have to appeal
to the voters Of Valley coun-
ty we feel it our duty to
G all attention to some most
important things to be con-
sidered before casting your
vote.
Do not make the fatal
mistake of thinking that be-
cause the country is so pros
porous it will make no diff
ference who is elected. The
opponents Of the Republican
party tell you this to allure
voters away from the party.
Do not cast a vote to dis
turb present conditions.
Between the Republicans
and Democrats it is a quest
ion of free trade or protect
ion. Read the history Of the
ountry and there can be NO
question but that your de-
cision will be in favor of the
latter.
Opportunity has been Civ
en- the bull moose party to
present some argument to
show why that party is en-
titled to support, but up to
the present moment not a
logical sentence has been ut
tered by a single member of
that party to show any ex-
cuse or reason for the exist
ence of this third party ex-
cept to gratlty the Napole-
onic ambition of Roosevelt
and to give some Republi-
cans whom their party refus-
ed to continue in office an
opportunity to get on a tick
ct. Their campaign has
been one of abuse, attack
and assertion. All their
speakers manifested griev-
ance. The Republicans on
the contrary have made a
clean fight on a clean record.

certain thru these just what standing
the case may have in court.

the books and papers, will ascertain IL
there was any foundation for such a

be done. Both sides seem anxious for
the examination and the outcome will
be awaited with great interest.
