7 We take this method of thanking
the voters of this county for their
liberal support of J. Rigg Vaughn
lin his candidacy for the office of
County Superintendent of Educa-
tion, and as he is in the second race,
with good chances of being elected
we again kindly call the attention of
iyOu voters to Mr.. Vaughn's claims
and qualifications.
Prior to his entrance into this race
'8Ir. Vaughan was not as well known

our active part in his behalf. There
is no one who understands the educa-
tional needs of our county better
than he, and if elected, a conserva-
tive, progressive administration OF
the couuty's school affairs is assured
No one is better qualified to look
after the finances of our schools
and no one can guide the destlnleS
of these schools through the perioC
of REIMBURSEMENT better than he,
| This self-made man is deserving
l-of your confidence and support, he
is leader in patriotic and commun'
ity movements, and is in every way
a most excellently qualified man fol
the place that he seeks at your
! hands.
Voters! vote for Vaughn in the
second primary He will prove t.
you that our claims in his behalf
are true.

to Thee" in sweet and tender tones
and this closed the service at the
home. The casket was then carried

To The People Of Lowndes County:
For those who voted in the first
primary for one Of my opponents
have nothing but the kindest feeling
You were simply exercising the high
est prerogrative Of an American citi-
zen. II your first choice has fallen
out, | ask that you now consider my
claims.
To those who voted for me, l thank
you. wish that you could read my
heart. ask that you stand by me
and get as many others to see it as
you do if you possibly can.
, My opponent, Mr.. Bell, is fine man,
a good lawyer and is well qualified
to make you a district attorney, but
facts are facts. We have only two
places of trust and honor in this dis
,trict, the judge and the district attor-
'ney Sarksville has had the judge for
about six years and will have him
at least three more years. Do you
think it just and fair to the other
parts of the district to give one town
all the places of honor and trust :?
Don't you think it more just to di-
vide these things around and not
put them all in one town? Ny OPP
'ponent may say that nothing in the
law prohibits this, and that is true.
Nothing in the law would prohibit
one town from holding every State
office, including one Supreme Court
Judge, Circuit Judge, Chancellor, Con-
gresham and United States Senator,
but that does not make it fair to the
other parts of the State, in case such
things were to happen.
| have done my dead level best to
make you good officer, and it is the
custom of the democratic party to
G. r. Galley 10.
give the faithful servant an endorse
'ment, provided he makes good the
first term. This custom is a part of
the political history of your county.
Your county is one fifth of this dis
trict. If l have made good, why not
endorse me? Why make an exception
in my case?
If | am reelected, it shall be my
purpose and the chief desire of my
heart to pay you for your help by
making the district a better officer
in the future than nave in the past.
l am better qualified now than | was
when | first went into office. will
be just and fair towards all, rich,
por, high and low. No enemies to
punish and no friends to reward. The
office will be run on a business pro-
position. The law will be enforced as
best / can. in a spirit of love and
kindness.
Thanking you again for past fav-
orS and trusting that my conduct as
your servant has been suclr as to JUS
tify you in honoring me with your
votes on Aug. the 26th; am,
Your Public Servant,
G. J. RENCHER.
