growing over the country unfav-
orable to the continuation of one
man in public office for long
terms. Besides this, lawyers
and those in position to under
stand the circumstances and the
marked difference in the require
ments for a Judge of law and a
Judge of equity regard it as UNI
wise and unsafe to take a man
at the close OF a long term of
prosecution, chilled from the
habit of inflicting punishment
out of a court of common law
like Mr.. Officer and place him
upou the bench as Chancellor.

Hon. Harry T. Camp of Spar
Ia. candidate for Chancellor of
this Division, spent last Satur-
day at this place. making a short
talk at the court house in the af-
ternoon. He had not intended
coming here at the time and as
the speaking had not been adver-
tised, only a few were present.
His talk was breif. but to the
point and made a good impress
ion upon his hearers. Mr.. Camp
is a most pleasant, affable gen
tleman. a fluent speaker and is
doubtless well qualified for the
position to which he aspires, be-
ing splendidly endorsed by the
bar of his home town. Harts-

1917. at 7;30 a. m. from a severe
hemorrhage Of the lungs. Bro.
Ray had been in feeble health
for some time, but was thought
to be improving, and when the
end came it was a shock to his
many friends. we regret the
loss of so good a man and mason
as Bro Ray. who was so well
known all over our country as
Bro. Ray. He was born in the
End civil district of the county at
Rough Point. in l943 and made
t his home until about IL years
ago. when he sold his farm and
moved to Wanette. Okla, where
he purchased a farm and lived
there until about 3 years ago,
when his health failed him and
he returned to Haydenburg and
purchased a small farm, where
he lived at the time of his death.
Bro. Ray was member of the
Methodist church and had been
for a great many years. At all
times was ready to support it, no
matter what it cost HIM.
Bro. Ray was made a master
mason at Rough Point, in New
Bethel Lodge No. 523 +. & A. M.
and was always at the post Of
duty. While in Okla, he moved
his membership to Wanette

CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
CONTINUES TOCROW.
DormitOry For Girls And 9th
er Improvements Made.

The jackson County Central
High School continues to grow.
The enrolment in all classes has
now reached 210 pupils and more
are coming in every week. When
the country schools close addi-
tional numbers are expected to
pour in. Provision has been
made for a girls domitory to be
in charge of Mrs. Williams. who
is we'll calculated to see well af-
ter the girls and make a good
school home for them. Quarters
are also provided for the boys at
another residence. The Harley
House will also take boys at rea-
sonable rates. These facilities
can hardly be duplicated and
many will doubtless take advan-
tage of them.
To take care of the increase in
enrolment another teacher has
been added in the person of Mr..
j. B. Baker, formerly in the
county demonstration work. Mr..
Baker is a valuable man in the
science. His work is at once
scientific and practical. If the
enrolment continues to grow at
the present rate it is probable
that another teacher will have to
be employed.
At this time it has been
thought well to emphasize re-
views of the common branches
for the accommodation of those
desiring to stand examination
for teachers license. Attention
will be given to this work dur
ing the winter.
The two literary societies,
"The Sophonian" and "The Will
sonian" offer opportunities to
students to improve their English
as well as their knowledge of
current events and parliamentary
procedure.
The music class taught by
Miss Georgia Carter is in a flour
ishing condition. 1t supports a
music club and takes interest in
the general welfare Of the High
School.
The physical equipment is con-
tinually being added to by the
Parent Teachers club, the latest
additions being window shades
and sanitary drinking fountains.
By them a number of other
things have been ordered. Let
the good work go on in normal
growth and general improvement
until the ideals of the Jackson
county people are more perfectly
realized.
Citizens from over tho county
are cordially invited to visit the
school at any time. Its your
school, and. the faculty will be
glad to see you. Come and see
what an excellent school you
have provided for the children
of the county.

STRONG APPEAL MADE FOR
HARRY CAMP.
Citizens Of DeKalb County
Active In His Support.

The race COR the democratic no
mination for Chancellor in this,
the Fourth Division seems tc
have settled between the two
announced candidates, Hon, H.
Camp of Sparta, and Gen. W.
R. Officer of Livingston. The
Review does not wish to cham
pion the cause of either candi-
date or unfairly discriminate be-
tween democrats, but in order
that no one may be mistaken in
our attitude, we assume to pur-
sue the same straight forward
policy that has characterized this
publication since it has been un.
der the present management and
to say that we are for,Mr. Camp
and will temperately support him
until the primary Dec. 1st. We
have had.occasion to inquire of
Mr.. Camps reputation as a citi-
zen and as a lawyer and we find
him an accomplished lawyer and
a christian gentleman, admired
and respected by all who know
him. He is a man of only mod
crate circumstances, invalid in
both arms who can really appre-
ciate from a financial standpoint
his election to this high and hon.
orable lotfice. He has many
friends in Smithville and DeKalb
county who are openly support
ing him and indications are that
he is growing strong throughout
the division. A very strong ap-
peal is being made in behalf of
Mr.. Camp by Hon. L. D. Hill,
former Chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee
but now international Boundary
Commissioner. United States and
Mexico. Mr.. Hill has sent the
following letter to a number OF
his friends over the Division:
FL Paso, Texas, Oct. IL, 1917
Dear''Sir:
Having been called from my
home in Sparta on official busi-
ness, where | will be detained
for some weeks. ! am writing
you in the interest of Hon. Har-
ry Camp of White county, who
as you.doubtless know, is a can
didate.for Chancellor. before the
Democratic Primary.
/ have known him from his
boyhood. and practiced law in
partnership with him. and un-
hesitatingly and unreservedly
commend him to you as a man OF
the strictest honesty and integ-
rity, as a lawyer of learning and
ability, and possessed of a judi
cial mind and temperament which
eminently fit him for this import
ant Office.
White county has never had a
Chancellor. but for years has
furnished a large Democratic
majority to elect the Judicial
nominee in other counties. Gen.
Officer, Mr.. Camps opponent,
would have been defeated for
Attorney General eight years ago
by his Republican opponent but
for the majority given him in
White county,
| hope you can give to Mr..
Camp your vote and influence. ;,
Yours truly.
