To the Republican Voters Of che

On account of the pressure of bus.

between the date of my decision to
make the race for State Senator and
the day Of the primarye election,

We have explained several times why we were forced

carrier in Greenevle We expected to lose quite

not done so. We believe people appreciate what
are willing to pay Just little more for home daily

has interest in his town and his people will not be
expected to contribute anything toward the upkeep of

MIR. THACKER'S CARD

/ regret to say thaU while it has
been impossible for me to canvass the
County in my behalf for Register,
owing to the fact that / have no one
who understands the work in my abb
sence, as many of you know, and of
course the office must be kept open.
The stamp act, relating to deeds and
other instruments demands close at
tention, and / am held responsible
should anything go wrong. Yet |
have seen many voters and expect to
see more-hOwever, / ask the support
and influence of all those whom
have not seen just the same, and as
sure you it will be very much appre-
ciated by me. Of course many of
you know me and know how / have
conducted the office and the inter
est / have taken in the work, giving
it my personal attention, pointing
out any errors which sometimes ex-
list in acknowledgements to deeds and
other instruments, before receiving
same for record, giving the owners
chance to have these errors correct
ed, as sometimes certain errors rem
der these instruments fatally defec-
tive. Then seeing when spread of
record they read exactly as the origi
nal, and too, keeping the records
where they belong, in this way, al
ways trying to avoid any question and
possibility of future litigation for all.
When this war is over, the Greatest
conflict the world has ever known,
there will probably be more searching
of records than usual, to find out who
under certain conditions is the right
full owners of different property, from
the fact that there will perhaps be
some of our noble boys who may new
er return, which thought we all de-
plore. Yet we all hope that it will be
possible for each one to get back
home safe, who has gone, and are
now so CALAMITY fighting; and the
same can be truthfully said of those
who are yet to go and help fight the
battles for maintenance of Liberty,
Peace, and for their homes, and orr
homes, and to protect the American
Flag, always keeping it floating in
the gentle breeze, the staff of which
is planted on the possessions of the
United States of America, in many
places, upon whose domains it is said
the sun never ceases to shine.
IN conclusion, wish to say that
am aware Of the fact, that as an of
fetal | have gained the admiration of
many warm personal and influential
friends, regardless OF politice, of
which ! am justly proud, and that
when on August LIST you cast your
ballot, ask each and all to give me
YOUR support. If elected, promise
to give to all the same courteou
treatment in the future as in the past.
Having had the experience / have, not
only qualities me to give as good SER
vice, but enables me in a great mea-
sure to give perhaps better service,
which promise if possible. Thank
ing one and all for past favors, l am,
YOU humble servant,

The Southern Railway officials have dumped two or
three carloads of Stag and cinders on the
approaches to the depot to be carried over the paved
streets in that section of the city, cutting them to pieces
and rendering them worthless within very short time
unless something is done to put stop to it. 1t looks
hard to think that people will be forced to put up
with the miserable accommodations at the Southern sta
ton throughout another winter.

IreIand's Round Towers.

No one knows exactly when or why
the round towers in Ireland were
built, but some believe that the druids
erected them as watch towers and
places to which to go for safety In
time of danger. A good many of the
towers have the tops broken down and
those which show the cone tops intact
have mostly been restored. There is
no door on the ground, the doors be-
ing purposely built at about 10 or
Is feet from the ground and were
reached by ladders.
After the people had climbed inside
they drew their ladders up after them
and thus were out Of reach of NE
Danes who frequently invaded the
country. The tiny windows OF these
towers are far up toward the top also.
About so round towers remain in Ire
land, but only'a few Of them are per
feet. According to one authority, they
were probably built between the 9th
/ and 18th centuries.

Red is the emblem Of domination In

Owing to the enforced closing Of
schools. the need for some form of
home study by pupils has become most
urgent. The teachers met the first of
the week and made plans for home
study and supervision 1
Much of the work of the luwer
grades requires the presence Of the
primary teachers. who aresbusy this
week going from house to- house. The
Grammar grades and High school are
working out their assignments in their
homes and sending their written recit-
ations otheir respective teachers for
correction.
| Each teacher has an improvised mail
box at the front door of her home for
the daily reception of written work.
Parents and pupils should enter
heartily into the scheme of home study
to insure success of the plan, which
seems the only way to make up the
work lost. With the resumption of
regular school sessions whenever that
may he-classes will begin where the
home study and recitations warrant

This forced saving you do now will mean a nice nest
