WHO IS H. E. PIERCE?

This question has been asked and |
I take this opportunity of briefly
stating who he is and what he stands
for.
He is a native of Escanbia County.
He is the son of an old Confederate
soldier. He is one who has tried to
live such life before his fellow-men
that he courts investigation of his
past record, inviting the public to
throw the searchlight of investigation
back over his path from the cradle to
the present moment.
He is the man that stands for i'm
partial service to all. He is the man
who says we should vote for quail
fication of a candidate and not as a
matter of friendly feeling.
He is the man who says by an eco
nomical administration we could meet
our present and future obligations and
reduce the present tax levy. He is the
man who says we should have perma-
nent roads to all important points of
the country.
He is the man who says the far
mer is the backbone of the nation,
therefore should have due considera-
ton at all times.
L He is the man who says our soil is
just as productive as the brains that
till it and our public life just as pro-
gressive as the brains that govern it,
He is the man who says we should
get rid of the COW tick, the house-flyi
the chicken flea and the potato bug
as we'll as every other pest of man OF
beast, but does not believe we should
levy tax on the already overbur.
dened taxpayer of this county to Kill
the pest on the other fellows stock
as our present board has recently
done.
He is the man who says private In
terests have been advanced at publ,
expense long enough.
He is the man who says that horriC
fee system should be declared uncon
stitutional and abolished by tn,
courts.
He is the man who says sectiona
representation is no better than pub
lie confiscation.
He is the man who says the gov
ernment's agricultural agent shoul
be under the jurisdiction Of the coun
ty board.
He is the man who says the LAY
should grant every section line for
public highway.
He is the man who says If tn
voters of Commissioner District M
d will vote to nominate him for
place on the county board he wi
work for all that is good for all {
Escambia county, keeping in touc
with the people and endeavoring
carry out their wishes at all times.

There is great discussion now going
on in these Uuitod States in regard to
whether or not the country is properly
prepared for defence in case of war. We
believe there is an overwhelming SEN
timent in favor of reasonable preparation
aud precautiou, but don't believe their is
much sentiment in favor of going to ex-
tremes in the matter, Ia time of Peace
prepare for War" 1t takes time to build
battleships, and the Unite States should
have a navy fully capable of protecting
ITS shores and our interests on the high
seas, We believe that their should be some
adequate system of military training so
that in case of necessity we would have
the material to raise an army sufficient
for our needs at once. But we are oppo sed
to any SCENE that has for its object the
raising and maintenance of large stand
ing army, and we believe that large
majority of the people of the country
will oppose such move.

Norval Davis, President, John S. Alfrlend
| IT, Vice President. aud John Waters
Secretary and Treasure. They are now
making plans for gymnasium and its
equipment. which will pc ia the base.
ment of the school building. All the bust
ness men of the town have taken a great
deal of interest il the organization, and
their interest is greatly appreciated by
the assoc alton. A track team has been
organz-d, with John Alfriend. Jr. as
coach and captain, with the unusual alb
ilty of MIR. McGayock as his assistant.
propose to have track aud field meet
on the Horse Show Grounds in the spring
and hope the community at large will
take an active interest IN these Athletic
activities. The CANDIDATES tor the Track
Team are large and of an unusually fine
fine callber, TIC running Of Luke and
McGavock is esp .clalty fine and they
both deserve a great deal of credi'. The
first four places in the senior one. mile
relay IS so hotiy contested, that it is ex-
tremely hard to decide on the men for
this race, But we think it will lie among
McGavock. Luke, Waters, S, H. Brown
Boyd. and Afrlend. The junior Team is
the best that could be gotten for many
miles around and deserves much praise
for their fine work during the past few
weeks. The most probable members OF
TINS team are Francis Wy nkoop, John
Strider, David STROLLER, WGrthine ton
Venning, Walter Tablsr, and Howard
Smallwood. The high jump will be an
other interesting feature, Luke aud AL
faiend. show best from in this, with Wyn-
koop their close second for the J-uiors.
Waters, and Weller, are the most pop
uar CANDIDATES for the shot put while Nc
Gavock is the crack hundred
yarder clipping the distance IN 10 Is
second which is remarkable time for this
event. With this material, Coach Aft, |
riend thinks he should have as good
team as n any IN the State.
