COUNTY JUDGE W. n. LANCASTER.

Attorney W. H. Lancaster, pres.
ent County Judge of Henderson
county, is a candidate for election
to that Office in the general election
to be held on the first Thursday in
August. 1918, and being a Republi.
can is subject to the primary Of
that party which will be held or
the 18th of next month -Septem.
ber Judge Lancaster being well
versed in the law, is well equipped
to fill the Office to which he aspires
and the nomination for which he
asks at the hands of his party. His
career in the practice of law is well
known. Notwithstanding he start.
ed comparatively late in his young
life, he has made a success in the
profession and during recent years
has represented one side or the 9TH
Of III perhaps ! majority Of the inn
portant cases tried in the courts Of
Henderson county.
His private business is his own
affair, but his conduct of the office
of County Judge being part Of the
public's property, we can say for
him him that in the discharge Of
his official duties he has guarded
well the interests Of the county and
has "hewn to the line" without feaI
or favor. To put the matter in a
nutshell, the best assurance that w
H. Lancaster can and will make
Henderson a good county Judge, is
the fact that he has already done
so, Take his candidacy under
consideration and after having
weighed well the matter, all Repub-
licans should on the 18th of Sep
TENDER, cast their primary votes as
they believe the public good in Hen
derSon county, demands.

LOCAL BOARD MAKES SECOND CALL.

The local Board under the mill.
.tary draft law. having gone through
the first list of 800 men called for
physical examination and obtained
out Of that number about 80 sol.
diers, last Tuesday began making
call for an additional $40 men fol
physical examinations. which will
begin next Monday and continue
all next week.
AS stated above, about 80 Of the
demanded quota Of 1850 for the
county have been secured and all
exemption claims have been acted
upon by the county board and sent
on up to the higher authorities.
In spite of our promise to publish
the first list Of about 800 men
called for physical examination, we
are unable to secure the list this
week on account Of the fact that i,
has been kept from being complete
by transfers of names to other
boards for examination
If the'second $40 men called pan
out in proportion as the first did
the balance Of the demanded quota
will be secured. The PROGRESS will
print the list when furnished.
