GEORGE HloER
Republican Primary Candidate for
Sheriff

SbSsnb.
Mr. Hider is a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for sheriff. His
qualifications and fitness for this office
are recognized by every one who
knows him. He is the type of man
for an office of this kind.
He has previously held the office
OF Water Commissioner for District No.
40 two terms and is the present Water
Commissioner. Those who have had
business with his office during his
terms know that he can administer the
work of apublic office with decision,
fairness and always with good judg-
ment.
The office of Sheriff requires pecu-
lair qualifications. 1t requires good
judgment decision. fairness firmness
and the courage to act without delay
and without respect to persons who
may be affected by such action
Those who know him are convinced
that Mr. Hider more clearly measures
up to these specifications than any
other candidate who has previously
sought this office or who is now seek
ing it. They are confident that If he is
nominated and elected he will dis
charge the duties of that office with
the same pronounced satisfaction and
general approval which have char
acterized his several terms of office
as Water Commissioner
Many persons are interested in this
office and in the candidates for this
office because of the necessity for en-
forcing the prohibition law, which is
as yet comparatively new. II is i'm
portant that this law be enforced.
1t is also important that a sheriff
should not forget that there are many
other laws to enforce. Mr.. Hider
promises the public that if nominated
and elected he will, without question
and without favor, enforce the prohi.
bition law SO far as it is possible for
his office to do so. and all other laws.
There should be no discrimination. II
elected sheriff he will be a sheriff II
he goes after anything he will get it,
If he goes after anybody he will get
them. People who know George Hider
know that he will do what he prom
ises. They know he has the courage
necessary to do 1t.
He came to Delta when he was
seventeen years of age, began voting
when he was nineteen and is still at it.
While this statement is prepared for
publication by citizens interested in
Mr.. Hider's candidacy. 1t is signed by
him for the purpose of stamping with
his approval the promises herein con-
tained.-Advt.

one of the real attractions from the
standpoint of architectural beauty
A splendid new commissary build

NO ACTION YET TAKEN
IN P0LLARD'S CASE:
EXECUTION DAY NEAR

Ashley Pollard is still occupying the
condemned cell at the Glynn county
Jail patiently awaiting information
from Atlanta as to whether or not he
is to be executed tomorrow at noon.
Attorney J. T. Powell. representing
the negro, expected a telegram yes
terday announcing the final decision
OF the prison commission, but nothing
was done during the day by the board,
and it is more than likely that some
action will be taken this morning
The attorney has made hard fight
to save. Pollard's neck, and he is of
the opinion that the execution will not
take place tomorrow. In the event
the commission turns down the petit
ton, however, Governor Harris will
be the last resort, and ii is hardly
probable that the chief executive will
interfere.

OLD CASES WILL
COME Up TODAY
WiLDERs AND E. F. FADER TO
BE TRIED IN CAMDEN SU-
PERlOR COURT.

An old case, in which three local
men are charged with larceny. will
come up before Judge Highsmith in
the Camden superior court at st.
Marys today. The case has been
pending for some time and consider
able interest is manifested in it.
Several months ago Sheriff Higgin-
botham of Camden county came over
to Brunswick with warrants against
Fletcher Wilder and his father and f.
F. Fader, charging them with lar
ceny. They were arrested and car
ried to st. Marys and later released
on bond. 1t was charged in the war
rant that they robbed a lighter en-
route from Brunswick to Fernandina.
1t was alleged that the lighter was
being towed by a small launch, and,
when off Little Cumberland, anchored
for the night, the accused men board
ed the craft and removed a number of
articles. 1t was also charged that they
entered the Carnegie duck house at
Dungeness and carried away a num-
Der of articles.
These Brunswick men have always
claimed to know absolutely nothing
about the reported robberies of the
lighter or the duck house and they are
condifent that they will be acquitted
They are represented by Attorney j.
T. Colson. The trial today, however,
is expected to be quite an interesting
one, Sheriff Higginbotham and others
at st. Marys claiming that they have
sufficient evidence to convict.
