FOR COUNTY
TREASURER

The announcement OF L. A. Sand
ers for nomination to the office Of
treasurer of Grady county, sub
ject to the action OF the democratic
primary appears in this paper.
l.. A. Sanders, better known to
his itimate acquaintances as "Ad'
Sanders, needs no introduction to
the voters of this community; he is
an old timer here and is known to
everyone who has been a taxpayer
of this county. He is known as one
of the most careful and efficient
men who has been connected with
the tax collection departments OF
the county.
Mr.. Sanders is native OF Ten
nessee, but. moved from that state
to Texas in his early manhood.
From Montague county. he came to
Grady county in 1893 and has been
identified with the community
since that date
Since 1909 Ad Sanders has been
identified with the tax department
of the county, first serving for
three years as city assessor. In
1912, being recognized as an ef-
ficient in the matter of making up
the general tax rolls, he was ap-
pointed deputy county assessor,
serving in this capacity under ".
H. Hulen for three years. For
more than three he has served as
deputy treasurer, and it can be
truthfully said that there is not to-
day a man in the entire county,
who is more familiar with every
detail of the business of the office
than is Mr.. Sanders.
"Ad" Sanders is making the race
for county treasurer absolutely up
on his merits, not seeking a sin
gle vote upon any demerit, or in
competence of any one who is now
or who may after this become 4
candidate against him. Every
since first becoming identified
with the tax assessment and tax
collection departments Of Grady
county, he has given his entire at
tention to the positions he has
held. This he will continue to do,
and for that reason it is more than
probable that he will not have the
time to make a "hurrah, hand
campaign. However, an
nouncing thus early in the game,
he expects to have the opportunity
of meeting every voter Of Grady
county and to make an honest en-
deavor to convince him that he is
1.-The man for the place.
Should the voters see fit to be-
stow on him the honor he is seek
ing, Mr.. Sanders pledges himself
as principal in the office, to con-
tinue doing as he has done as dep
uty-always on the job, making
hand in the Office from the early
hours until the close OF
day for each business day in the
year.
Believing that the secret of econ
omy lies in efficiency, Mr.. Sanders.
in event he should be elected, prom
ises to do all in his power to bring
about a maximum of results at
minimum of expense. Making no
prediction promises, he says he
will see to it that his assistants in
the office will be as hard-working
and as efficient as possible, each
one taking a personal interest in
the matter of safeguarding the pub
lie funds
No matter who may oppose him
il goes without fear Of successful
contradiction. his friends says, that
the voters generally cannot find a
better or more efficient man than

REGARDING RED CROSS SUBSCRIBERS


We regret that we shall not be
able to publish the Henderson coun-
ty list Of subscribers to the Red
Cross fund in the recent campaign
in which our county easily went
over the top" We find that publ.
cation Of the complete list will en-
tail on the Office an expense Of more
than $30--and that we are not now
able to give in connection with the
already heavy demands the war is
levying on our business. We shall.
however, continue to give our space
as heretofore to matters connected
with the war. With the expression
Of genuine regret that we are not
able to keep our word in the mat
ter, we believe that our readers will
see the facts as they are and will
ingly excuse us. We agree with
our old friend, Joe H. Ryals. Of the
old 5th district, that. publication Of
the names Of those who give IS
not so important as would be
the names Of the slackers--those
who refused.

KNITTING CLUB.

| The knitting club was most
charmingly entertained Thursday
afternoon between the hours of 430
and seven O'Clock, by Mrs. John +.
Hall in her very attractive home on
Jackson street, the reception room
and parlor being thrown together
for the occasion. An hour was de-
voted to quilt-piecine and knitting,
after which four tables were arrang-
ed for progressive rock ard Miss
Celestia Barham having highest
score at the conclusion of the gam s,
was presented thrift stamps. A
delicious ice course was served.
A business meeting was held in
which several items of interest was
disposed of. Miss Mildred Mccall
was elected Secretary-Treasurer for
term of three months, a vote was
taken for several new members,
which initiation will occur at our
next meeting, which is to be with
Miss Evelyn Pearson.
1t was decided to give thrift
stamps for prizes until the thrift
stamp drive is completed. The
club donated SIS to the Red Cross.
Just at this juncture a very nice
note of thanks from the Cemetery
Association, for the $50 Liberty
Bond presented them by the club,
was read by Miss Addie Nicely
Murray, which is as follows:
Dear Girls-Enclosed find re-
ceipt for the fifty dollars bond,
which you have so kindly presented
the Lexington Cemetary ASsocia-
ton and for which we thank you.
Not since our organization has
such manifestation of apprecia-
ton been shown our feeble efforts,
to make beautiful the resting place
of our precious dead. We shall
use the interest that will be paid on
this bond, judiciously as we know
how and each succeeding year will
pass the bond on to our successors,
as the property of the Cemetery
Association, taking receipt for same
and ere it natures. suspect one OF
you girls will have assumed the re-
sponsibility Of caring for the Silent
City" Girls, in the purchase of
this bond, you have served a dou-
Bile purpose, first made the Gene
terry Association feel rich; second,
aided the u. S. Government in
financing the war it is now pros
ecuting for the protection Of every
American home. Again we say
Thank YOU" and may these two
little words lose none Of their sig
nificence.
Yours truly,

Senator Shields.

The question of electing Senate
Shields to succeed himself in tn
United States senate is becoming
more and more necessary as tim,
advances. The war makes it nee
essary as time advances.
The democratic idea that ha:
been in vogue for years is an en-
dorsement Of this principle. The
very foundation OF democratic
government is based upon the fac
that we honor our public servant;
when they make good with a sec
term of Office.
Why turn down Judge Shields
now, when we are in war, and the
record shows he is doing everything
to help win the war;" is the ques-
ton frequently asked by democrats
and republicans Why, we ask,
should We not endorse him in the
hour of a great national crisis just
as we have our congressman, The
tus w. Sims, and Others whose
names we can recall if necessary?
1t seems that those who oppose
Judge Shields have only one mo-
tive for their opposition they want
another man in his place. And, we
might add, some of these same fell
lows who want to encourage the de-
feat of Judge Shields have been u.s.
ing our argument in behalf of Mr..
Sims, Governor Rye and perhaps
many Others in past years.
If it is true that Mr.. Sims and
Gov. Rye deserve endorsement, and
they have; If it is true that Judge
Shields has made good, and he has,
why not give him an endorsement,
especially at a time when our ma
ton needs men of experience, men
who will stand for everything to
win the war which involves all that
is sacred and necessary to our ma
tional existence as free and indie
pendent peopleY
This is no time to play politics.
The American idea of government,
which was handed down by our
forefathers, is being fought over to-
day on the blood-soaked plains of
France, Italy and Palestine, and if
for no other reason our national
lawmakers who have helped in the
being made to win the
war should be endorsed. .
Let the people see to it that poll
tics be consigned to the junk pile in
the choosing Of men for congress
Let this decision apply in Senator
Shields case, and he will be elected,
as he deserves for a second term
