REELECTION.

Last week The News presented
to its readers the announcement
of Judge ]. d. Carr, of Newton,
as a candidate for reelection to
the Office of Judge of the Circuit
Court of this the Eighth Judicial
District, subject to the action OF
the democratic party.
Four years ago the people of
this district believed that Judge
Carr was we'll fitted for this i'm
portant position and he was
chosen from among many of the
best lawyers of the state, and SO
far as our information goes, they
have not been disappointed in the
man, for he has made good.
He has served for three years,
and his decisions and rulings
have always been fair and i'm
partial. The humblest citizen
receives the same consideration
in his court as the rich and in
fluential. He is a good christian
man, and endeavors to discharge
every duty and obligation in &C
cordance with the teachings of
Him who sits in judgment over
us all.
Judge Carr hopes to make a
visit to his friends in this county
some time soon. He is a very
busy man these war times. TAX
ing as he does an active part in
every patriotic movement. Re-
Gently he has been engaged in
making speeches in the interest
of the Third Liberty Loan anc
Red Cross War Fund drives, anc
the great success of the two
campaigns in Newton county i!
due in large measure to his eff
forts.
He respectfully asks your con
sideration of his claims for re
election, and will appreciate an,
favors shown him.

In times like the present when there
is need of saving jute, burlap and cot
ton sacks, the Food Administration
emphasizes to farmers the need of saw
ing these things, especially Irvine, rope
and canvas. This is a patriotic SER
vice in which all may join. Military
demands for these products must be
satisfied first-a fact which, COM
bined with shipping difficulties. calls
for all articles made from fiber to be
valuable.
