He denied he was in Jones' Cigar

Mrs NJ. Downes, wife of the pris-
oner, corroborated her husbands testi-
mony as to his residence.

Maurice Babb, a clever Wilmington
vaudeville artist, and his son. are
getting a ggeat ovation at the Garrick
Theatre this week, where their act Is
one Of the features OF the bill. The

mer. which admits of unusual comedy
possibilities. of which full advantage
is taken by the members Of the team.

FOR COMMISSIONER.
DISTRICT NO. Q

I take this method of announcing
to the voters of Polk county that
will be a candidate for the office of
county commissioner in and from
District No. in the primary OF
1914.
In making this announcement, I,
in a measure at least realize the i'm
portance attached to the office; that
with the board of county commits
sioners rests the duty, among 9TH
ers, of equalizing the valuation of
taxable property of the county, and
of the construction and maintaining
of roads. In this connection l de-
sire it understood that I believe in
equality in taxation, and that all
persons, both rich and poor should
alike, bear their share Of taxation
in proportion to the value Of prop
ertv owned by them.
| also believe that better roads
should be built and maintained.
If nominated and elected l shall
work TO this end.
