niSSiOn0F District.

As I am 4 candidate for the
nomination of county commits
sioner from your district, and it
being impossible for me to get
around and see you all before the
primary, I take this method of
drawing your attention to the
fact that stand for good roads
and a better system of working
them, and that the county prison
ers should be made to work, If
not on the county roads, then on
a rock pile, or some other thing
that will teach them to work for
a living when they get out, in
stead of the present system of
teaching them to be loafers, de-
pending on the taxpayers for
living. I believe in 4 square
deal to all, and special privileges
to none, and If l get the nomiua-
tion and am elected, l shall strive
to follow that principle, and by
close business methods to reduce
the Indebtedness of the county.
instead of increasing it. / am
fifty-uiue years old; have been .
resident of Cherokee county the

ing your support at the primary,

If past performance may be &C.

and if faithfulnesS to an allotted
trust is worthy Of reward, then Mr..

kee county for IS years, is certain
ly entitled to the serious consider

efficiency in official capacity.
As under sheriff in the Sheriff's
Office for the past four years he
has thoroughly demonstrated his
ability to maintain the dignity Of
statutory provisions and has famil-
iarized and qualified himself for
added responsibilities. His ex-
tensive acquaintance in every sec
ton has been productive OF many
substantial friendships which will
materially contribute to his success
and possessing, as he does, SEEM
inely every essential, will make
him a logical and formidable foe
in the political combat.
His ambitions are to give the
county an administration Of affairs
connected with the Sheriff's Office
which will entille him to the re-
spect and confidence Of all, re-
sardless Of political affiliations.
The man in the mine is just as
much entitled to the laws protec-
ton and shall receive every con-
sideration at his hands as though
he were living in luxury and splcn-
dor.

Death and Life Masks.

In the preparation Of death masks
the usual method is to cover the face
Of the dead body with oil and then ap-
ply plaster of paris. The oil prevents
too close adhesion to the skin and
makes it possible to remove the plas-
ter when it has hardened. A mold Is
thus formed, into which fresh plaster
Is poured. The resulting cast Is the
death. mask. Death masks are OF
course exacl resemblances Of the faces
from which they are made, and their
value is impaired only by the changes
of contour which may have been caused
by death itself The custom Of taking
death masks is very ancient and wide
spread as well. The Romans made
them of wax, the Egyptians Of thin
gold plate. A few specimens have been
found among the American Indians.
Life masks are similarly made, but
mobility of expression is necessarily
sacrificed.-New York Times.
