The two boy tramps who, under the names of Frank and Jack Howard, were sentenced to the reform school by County Judge Holt, were found to be no strangers to that institution when taken there yesterday by Sheriff J. s.

of anything approaching an AfrO-Am-

he played second base for the rivals in

regardless of race, color or creed.
As County Treasurer, the COlOred vot-
ers can expect Of him to restore to that
Office the former spirit Of Republican
ism which has predominated in the
former years, and through the restora-
ton Of such spirit the Colored voters
will inevitable come into their own.
Mr.. Litzinger comes Of an old re-
speeted German family and was born
amid poverty and ill-luck, which en-
ables him to appreciate the poor and
