and had to employ an Engineer for

should you pay this Engineer this

In accouncing myself for Sheriff,
did so as a servant desiring promo
ton. Having served you for nearly
twelve years, in a subordinate posi-
ton, it is but natural that l should
ask for a promotion. And l am plac-
ing my name before you to decide at
the August primary election. whether
or not am entitled to the promotion.
If | have failed to see all, l may
give more reasons than probably
not being a politician, or too close at
tention to the duties / have to per-
form, rather than my own interests in
the matter.
My style of canvassing may seem
crude to those who are familiar to
the jokes and yarns of others. have

honestly in the affairs Of your county
l ask you to honor me by making me
your Representative in the law-mak-
ing body Of your State. If elected !
assure you the confidence will not be
misplaced. l shall discharge the du-
ties of the Office as faithfully and
conscientiously as | have the light to
see it.
As your Representative, l shall feel
it my duty to voice the sentiment of a
majority Of my constituency, regard
less of any personal opinion of my
own, and when the sentiment of the
majority is unknown to me, shall
always use my vote and influence for
safe, sane and conservative legisla-
ton.
In response to inquiries made by
numerous friends from the hill sec
ton of the county as to my attitude
regarding the formation of the pro
posed new county, will say for the
benefit of those who may not have
read an article written by me and
published recently in the county pa
pers, that stated positively, that
| would oppose with my vote and in
fuence, the passage of any act which
would take any part of Yazoo County
for the purpose of forming a new
county or for any other purpose what
soever.
Now, in conclusion, may state that
| have been warned by many of my
friends before entered this race and |
afterward, that would meet defeat
because / was resident of Beat Five;
that resident of Beat Five has not
held county Office since the days of
the convention. This is true, but |
cannot bring myself to believe it the
result Of discrimination on the parti
Of the people Of the hiR section of
the county against the people of Beat
Five, for if this were true, it would
prove the merit of the contention Of
hose who advocate the formation of
4 new county, on the grounds that the
people of the Delta section of the
county cannot be elected to office.
