George S. Beall, Jr., has authorized
The Advertiser to place his name in its
announcement column as a candidate
for sheriff, subject to the Democratic
primaries to be held in August of the
present yeyar. Although the youngest
man in the race, and entirely unframed
in the political game, he came out sec
ond best and close up to the winner in
an entry of eight candidates for the
same office four years ago, the others
being skilled and experienced cam
paigners as well as among the most
popular men in Holmes county. Being
resident of the extreme eastern part
of the county, and always having
'knuckled down to business" very as
siduously since attaining his majority,
he seldom went anywhere, and conse-
quently was less known at the outset
than any others of the contestants for
the shrievalty; but making a close and
comprehensive canvass of the county,
and personally interviewing nearly
every voter, he succeeded in rolling up
very formidable vote and far outdis-
tancing six of his competitors. Mr..
Beall is young, virile, energetic, ag-
gressive and a business man to the
core-Just such a man as is needed IN
the position of sheriff. He was born
and reared in Holmes county and is the
scion of one of the best, most honored
and esteemed families, He secured
his education in the public schools of
Durant and Lexington and completed
his studies at the we'll known military
institute at Marion, Ala, about four
teen years ago. Coming home from
college, he Immediately entered bust
mss, to which he has since bent his en-
ergies and devoted his attention, and
takes rank among the county's men.
For ten years he has been treasurer of
the city of Durant, in which he has
given complete satisfaction. He has
a thorough business training and is an
expert accountant and bookkeeper,
which are highly essential accomplish
ments for any one chosen for the dual
Office of sheriff and tax collector. There
is great amount of bookkeeping"
connected with the sheriff's office and
it is very necessary that the accounts
be kept accurately and up to the min
ute, which is one of Mr.. Beall's strong
fortes," i" having always had all
books under his supervision kept with
absolute correctness and in shape for
ready reference up to date at any and
all times. He is man of sound judg-
ment, calm and unruffied temper, and
personal courage without an iota of
bias or partiality. Ifelected he would
conduct the affairs of the office with an
eye single to the administration of JUS
tice and the public veal. He has al
ways steered clear of any political COM
binations, and if elected will go into
Office absolutely untrammelled with the
only promise, contained in his oath of
Office that of faithfully performing
all the duties incumbent upon him by
virtue of his position. He makes the
