For Jailer
GEO. W. STACY
TO THE TAX PAYERS OF
MORGAN COUNTY:


you various reasons why you
should vote for me for Jailer Of
Morgan county instead of my
opponent Mr.. Combs.
|. Because he promised the
people when he run before that
he would not make the race this
) time, and because rotation in
: office" is fair.
|, 2 Because he has not done q
: single thing for the taxpayers OF
the county to entitle him to be
; reelected,
} 8 Because he has let numbers
upon numbers Of men charged
with various crimes including
house breaking and robbery,
make their escape from the
county Jail, thus going unpunish-
ed for their crimes, turning them
loose upon the community and
making the law Of no effect.
4 Because in the last four
years there have been hundreds
upon hundreds of dollars of
working statute fines assessed
against violators Of the law, and
it was his duty to work them on
the bad roads Of the county, but
he refused to do it, letting them
lay around the family room of
the Jail in good, warm, comfort
able quarters with plenty to eat
and nothing to do; and because
instead of him taking the labor
statute prisoners out and work
ing them on the roads, as the
law provides, he has used some
of them for weeks killing and
cleaning hogs, building and re-
pairing fence, hoeing in the gar
den, driving cows ito and from
!, the pasture, feeding, packing
water, carrying slop to the hogs,
in TACT he has them doing any.
thing about the place, waiting
on him and working for hin
while he is in this campaign
while the hardworking taxpay
ers are footing the bill and loos
, ing their work on the roads.
5 Because the law makes i
: the duty of the jailer to SWEEP
and keep the court room anC
offices clean, and when he askeC
, the Fiscal Court to raise hi,
salary" or pay him 100000 pei
E year for this work, and it only
). allowed him $4,000 for it, hC
: got mad and sued the county fol
the other 10000, which woulC
have made $S00.00 for the term
all for nothing. If am elected
| will do this work as we'll as he
has done it for $500 per year
and promise that | will not sue
the county for $500.
6 Because after he had beer
4 paid $4,000 per year to do thi!
S work, he has used the prisoner
a Of the Jail to do much of it, O
letting it go undone for the mos
I part, thus getting the $10O. 90 pc
d year for nothing. AS to tn
e truth of these facts | refer 70
y to the clerk Of the Morgan Cil
, cult Court as to said suit, and
Il the county officers and man
n prisoners as to the sweeping, an
I also to many people in and abol
s. the town who saw the prisoner
le doing the work,
n 7 Because the law makes
" the duty Of the jailer to keep Il
roof Of the court house in soc
sc condition, which he has failed fC
he two or three years to do, allow
~ ing it to leak all this time, caus
ing many hundreds of dollar
lie damage to the court house
X thereby causing a loss of tn
peoples money which he couI
have easily saved. If l al
elected the first thing | will
will be to fix the court house s
it will not leak and rot dow
re even if l have to borrow IL
ST money to do it with, l will n
III let the peoples property go
Ss destruction. | will do this wol
oi at my own expense and take Il
d, county for it.
III 8 Because he has promised
many deputies so much none
if he selected and pays them
e. out of the salary of his Office,
