PICK THE MAN WHO CAN
GIVE SERVICE

With another primary election
less than a month away 1t is sea-
sonable to say that this is no time
to play petty politics. With our
country in war and looked to BY
our allies to play the principal
part in the future. it is anything
but American to let picayunish
prejudices sway our judgment in
selecting officers who will give
the best service to the people and
TO our government. This Is true
OF all state, district and county
offices. When you cast your,yote,
do it with the feeling that you
are Serving your country.

BRUCE HULL, CANDIDATE
FOR COUNTY CLERK

Bruce Hull is a candidate TO,
the republican nomination for
county clerk. He is the logical
man for the place. His qualifi
cations are of the best. He came
TO this county when he was IL
years old and he has made his
home here ever since, living in
north Gillian near Blalock until
ne finished the graded school
there. He then came to Condor
and worked his way through the
local high school. After gradu
ating here he went to the Uni
Tersity of Pennsylvania and
worked his way there for year.
He came back to Gillian county
and started teaching school and
has been at the head of the May
vile schools for three years and.
although the taxpay ers of that
district want him to head their
school again, they all feel that he
can do good work for the whole
county in the clerks Office.
Added to his clerical qualifica- !
tons is the outstanding fact that |
he is red-blooded American and |
the people can rest assured that
with Bruce Hull in the clerks |
office the war department will
get the same complete and ca
pable co operation that it has re-
ceived in the past from Clerk
Laughrige and the taxpayers will
receive the same careful, cour-
,eous and accurate adtninistra-
ion Of their business.

THE SHERIFF HAS A
SPLENDID RECORD"

In this issue J. W. Lille, sher.
i'll Of this county, announces that
he will be a candidate for re
election to that office and asks
for the democratic nomination a,
the primary election. A couple
OF months ago it appeared that
there would be a lively scrap for
this office as at that time there
were two or three men on the
point Of announcing their candi-
dacy. Later. however, when il
was understood that the war de-
parsment of our government
asked that all present sheriffs b,
retained in office on account OF
their familiarity with the opera
tions Of the selective service
draft for the army. these men
gave evidence of their loyalty and
willingness to co operate with
the government by dropping out
in favor of Mr.. Lille. In addi.
tion to the fact that the govern
ment wants Mr.. Lille in the
sheritf's Office, he has been a
capable official and given good
service to the taxpayers. The

Because of the fact that the health

According to the records at the

Richmond during the past month.
while the influenza has been at its
height has been only about three times
as great as the preceding month
and little over twice that of a

of general walk out OF Western
Union telegraph operators to be called
next Monday was taken today at .
meeting Of District Council No. is, Of

The meeting was attended by 900 mem-
bers, most OF whom were said to ba
Western Union employees The strike
resolution cited the failure Of the gov
eminent wage scale committee to act
on the question OF wage increases and
the western Unions disregard OF the
presidents proclamation OF the right Of
workers to organize. IT also provided
that the action OF the meeting be COM
muntcated to the president Of the union
with a request that he issue an order
to all subordinate unions of the order
In the United states and Canada to
cease work on Monday. November Ii
and refrain from working until the
unjust conditions complained Of by the
union shall have been corrected.
Members of the union claim that
many operators have been discharged
without cause other than that they
were members of the union and that
under the present wage scale they
were obliged to work the equivalent
OF nine days a week in order to meet
living expenses.
