The Importance to the people of
the County Judgship cannot be
overestimated. II is the County
Judge who has jurisdiction over
juvenile delinquents and looks after
the interests of the minor and or
phan children whose inheritances
are probated in his court. 1t is up
to him to prevent INSCRIPTIONS
lawyers from filching the estates of
helpless children and widows. These
are only few OF the duties Of the
County Judge but we merely mem
tion them to base our assertion that
the people should not underesti-
mate the Importance of the office.
In presenting Mr.. Blair's candi-
dacy in this big political edition of
the Grady County Express, we do
not hesitate to say that in him
we find a man that can and will
make us a County Judge acceptable
to all classes of people. Mr. Blair
can go before the voters of this
county knowing full we'll that he
represents our very best class Of
people and that there win he no one
who viii try to even cast a reflec-
ton upon his honor and integrity
as a lawyer and gentleman.
We believe the people will look
kindly upon the candidacy OF this
gentleman, and we further believe
that with the closing of the cam
paign that his chances of election
will grow stronger, for the more
his character and ability are inyes-
tigated the more favorable he will
stand In the eyes of the Democratic
voters Of Grady county
A vote for Blair Is a vote for
man who will make us a fearless,
honest, competent and worthy
County Judge There can be no
mistake about that.

good men in this race--but only
one among the entire number can
be selected to fill the office. We
believe that if the voters will go to
the trouble of investigating the past,
public and private life of Jim Bryan
that they will agree with us that his
election will mean the elevation OF
one of our best citizens to the sher-
iff's office and that he will do his
duty in an intelligent and fearless
manner and that Grady county's
best interests can not be served in
a better way than by his election.
Jim Bryan has hundreds of warm
personal friends who are support
ing his candidacy believing him to
be the best man in the race and II
the many reports are to be relied

popular favor.
Don't forget that no mistake can

office you will have to agree with
us that a more deserving man can
not be found among the number,
for Mr. Petty belongs TO Grady
countys very best class of people
and in coming before the voters he
presents clean hands His record
as the first Register Of Deeds OF
this county is still fresh in the
minds OF the people. The faithful,
honest and conscientious manner
in which he performed his duties
then won for him the fidelity, es-
TEEN and respect Of a large per-
centage of the taxpayers of Grady
county He lived up to every prom
ise that he made the people during
his campaign for the office and an.
inspection OF his official record will
find that he left behind him
clean and creditable one.
Notwithstanding tho fact that an
even bakers dozen have announced
themselves as candidates for the
Sheriff's office, yet only one among
the entire number can be nominated
and elected. We do not desire to
cast any reflections on any of Mr..
Petty's opponents in this election,
but we must admit that none of
them are more competent to make
us a good sheriff than our friend
Petty. He is a man of good cool,
levelheaded Judgment, who can be
depended upon to fearlessly perform
his duties. He viii make an officer
that viii look carefully after the
interests OF the people. He will
know no particular class of law
violators, will have no favors to
hand out to any of them, but on
the other hand he win give a
square deal to all, enforcing the law
without fear or favor.
Mr. Petty has many friends
throughout the county who are lend
ing their aid and support to his can
didacy for they know him to be
man in the strictest sense of the
word, honorable and upright and a
man that has lived clean and
ceditable life. He has been resi-
dent of this county for over twenty
years and during that time he has
been a very active citizen, always
Identifying himself with the pro-
gressive element of our citizenship
and has assisted materially in the
development of Grady county. He is
Texas Democrat of the true blue
kind and as a party worker he has
rendered valuable service all along
the line.
This article will be read by every
voter in Grady county and to those of
our readers who may cast their eyes
on these lines, that are not person
ally acquainted with Mr.. Petty, we
win ask that they seek further in
formation about him, for he is a
man that bears the kind of char
acter that will stand the closest of
investigation.
His many friends feel certain OF
his election and from the reports
that are coming in from over the
county il looks like their predictions
are based ON facts that are reveal
ing themselves as the campaign pro
crosses.
A vote for Petty is vote for q
winner, we believe.

New York, Nov. 21.--Agents> for the
British and French governments an
nouneed here to-day that they were in
the market for 1,S50,000 wool sweat
ers, 100000 wool stomach bands, l.
100000 wool gloves and 100000 pairs
of wool socks.
In order to determine where such an
enormous quantity of woolen goods
might be purchased quickly, an adver-
tisement was placed in commercial
paper. 1t was said that the goods
were required for prompt delivery, that
orders would be given immediately and
that payment would be made in cash
for goods delivered in New York. The
wholesale value of the goods is more
than S2,000,000.

HOSPITALS Thank SEWING
Bags to Receive Donations Ali Dis
tributed and the Collection Will
Be Made Tuesday

Distributors of the several thousand
paper bags in which will be placed the
annual donations of this city and vicin-
ity for the Harrisburg Hospital, hav-
ing completed their work, they feel as
sured that the gifts to this institution
will be more bountiful this year than
ever before.
No better idea of the need for these
gifts can be gained than from mere
cursory glance at the last annual re-
port of the staff of the hospital. During
1913 there were 8,456 patients treat
ed. Of this number $500 were in the
dispensary and 2,25S in wards or rooms.
OF those who were admitted to the
dispensary 2,349 needed surgical treat
ment and 1,430 of the other patients
required the services of surgeon.
While some of the patients were able
to pay in full or in part for their treat
ment a very large number was unable
to meet any financial obligations and it
is for worthy similar eases that the col
lections at Thanksgiving time will be
made next week.
The bags have been sent not only
throughout Harrisburg but into the
surrounding country, in fact to all
towns and communities from which pa
tients were sent to the hospital.
The collections will be made in Har-
risburg next Tuesday while the towns
in this vicinity will be visited Wed
nesday.

rebates FOR Commuters :?
Service Commission Announces It May
Require Excess Certificates
Pending Rate Controversy

The State Public Service Commission
issued the following statement to-day
regarding the proposed increase in rail
road rates for commuters:
"The Public Service Commission has
no power to suspend the proposed in
crease of passenger rates of the rail
road companies, but the act creating
the Commission does provide that it
may require the companies to issue to
their patrons certificate or other evil
dence of payment made by them, in ex-
cess of the prior established rate, of an
increase, of which rate notice shall be
given to the commission and the pub
lie.
The probability is that the Commits
sion will require the railroad compa-
mics to furnish the evidence of in
crease, in order that in the event of
the increase being held by the Commits
sion to be unreasonable or excessive,
each passenger may be in a position to
establish the amount of reparation he
is justly entitled to under the repair
alton clause of the statute
Several more protests from com,
muters, objecting to the increase, were
received to-day.

MERCURY DROPS TO "a
Cold Wave Did Not Prove So Strong
Warmer To-day

Dissipating faster than expected, the
cold wave did not give Harrisburg as
low temperature as forecasted, but it
sent the mercury to "a degrees last
night, the night proving to be the
coldest of the present season. A tenn
perature- one degree higher is expected
for tonight, and further rises are fore
casted for this city tomorrow
Last night s temperature was enough
to fill the river with slush ice and
above the bridges in lower Harrisburg
ice formed to the distance of 200 feet
from the shore. The fact that the
velocity of the stream is lessened on
account of the municipal dam across
the river at Iron alley is given as
reason for the forming of so much ice.
The cold wave was central off the
gulf coast this morning, the upper
eastern half of the country being in
the grip of storm. The frosts in the
south were generally killing. Sunday
will be a nice day with rising tenn
perature.

The Auditor General to-day reported
receipts for the year totahng s29,633,-

same period, the receipts were sS2,

enough completed to show that the reve-
nues for the year ending November
so, 1914, will exceed $30,000.O0O.
The receipts from personal property
tax last year were s5,312.175.11 This
will show slight increase of revenue
from sources other than State personal
property tax.
The total payments for the year
1914 TO date have been $S0143,-

last year they were sS6,4S3,044.97:

In commenting upon the showing the
Auditor General said that, by extraor-
dinarv effort in the collection of re-
ceipts and by pairing payments as much
as possible, the State had been able to
get through very hard year without
working any great hardship or showing
an actual deficit at any time, although
payments in number of instances have
been delayed beyond dates at which
they had been made in former years.
The receipts at the State Treasury
for the closing day of the week were
s732,451.97. OF that amount the Unit

In Court House circles. it is figured
that this case will have much bearing
on, other similar actions for damages
which, attorneys say, are to be brought
against the city growing out of the
condemnation for street opening pur-
poses, of other real estate bordering
along the river front.
Only recently the city decided to
take over the buildings and ground
comprising the "Hardscrabble dis
trict and Immediately before that the
city passed legislation by which it
hopes to gain possession of all land
situated between the present western
line of Front street and the low water
mark of the Susquehannd river.
The damages allowed to the plain
tiffs in the South Harrisburg case are
much less than was claimed, each in
dividual property owner having sued
for $1,000
The damage suit decided to-day was
one of the most hotly contested that
has ever been staged in the Dauphin
county courts. When the city decided
to extend Front street southwark and
build the intercepting sewer and the
protective wall, the Koenig, Miller and
Sehlitzer lands, on the west side of
Front street, were condemned by the
city and taken over for the opening
of the street.
A. board of viewers decided that the
property owners had been damaged but
that the benefits to be derived by them
through the street opening and the ad-
ditional improvements would offset the
damages by slightly less than hun
dred dollars in each case. Rather than
pay the assessments the three property
owners appealed and an issue was
framed resulting in the trial this week.
