A PLAIN TALK TO VOTERS

| am a candidate for the office of
Sheriff and am very DESTROYS of Secur.
ing your votes and your active support.

handing you lot of bunk which means
nothing and commits me to less than
nothing. That is not my way.
But if you vote for me it is my wish
that you do so with the assurance that

pie and the laws Of the people; that
will have absolutely no personal favo-
rites after election; that will strive to
the utmost to honestly and fearleSSly
perform the duties of the office; that
my only guide in the performance of
those duties will be the law as it is en-
acted by those in power; that all men
will look alike TO me while am in of
fee; that the holy polite is the master
and that am its humble servant, obey.
ing its will as expressed by the law re-
lating 10 the Office to which l aspire.
If under these conditions you can
consistently favor ME with your sup
port, then will be profoundly grateful.
/ can offer you no greater reward
personally than my gratitude, for Of
ficially can do no more for you than by
those in power; that the law will apply
to all persons alike, rich or poor; that
all men will look alike to me while am
in Office.
If in the exercise of the right of your
franchise you feel il your duty to sup
port some other candidate, be sure
there will be no hard feeling on my
part. Your own conscience is your
guide, as mine is my guide when 90
to the polls. 1t will not affect nay

But do want and earnestly solicit

Rev. B. M. ShiYe of Atlanta.

Rev. B. M. Shive. D. d., executive
representation of OgiethOrpe UniyerSi-
ty, filled TIE pulpit OF the Presbyterian
Church Sunday morning and evening.
At the morning service he told the
story of Oglethorpe University, giving
Its history from its early founding as
the first UNCONVENTIONAL College in the
south, its devastation during the civil
war, its resurrection and effort to i'm
mortalize the old institution by the
erection of great University to meet
the urgent needs and requirements in
the education OF the youth of our
land.
His presentation was clear and force
full and made a strong appeal to the
thoughtful and those who feel a con-
Germ for the future welfare of the
young people.
AS a result of his efforts here $llO5.OO
were pledge by some members of the
Presbyterian Church to aid in this
great undertaking, and assurance was
given of additional amounts later.
According to the plan of the founders
every 100000 entities the individuaI
donor or church to representation on
the Board of Founders. Thus this
church will have representation on that
board, and perhaps, through additional
subscriptions, second representative
may be secured. At the evening service
DR.. ShiVe preached a strong sermon on
Providence" and showed Gods hand
in all the affairs of His Kingdom.
After four days spent in the interest
of his work, together with some pleas.
ant recreation and sport with the finny
tribe he left Thursday morning via
Lake Charles, Bunkie and other points
in the State, expressing hearty ap-
probation of the generosity of this
people and a high esteem for our coun-
try.
