ANNOUNCES FOR SHERIFF,
D. P. MURRAY FOR TAX RECEIVER
GLAWSON PICKS
LESLIE FARMER
FOR HISDEPUTY
Plains Seeks Representa-
ton in Court House,
Is Report

County politics took on decidedly
new interest Saturday evening by the
announcement of James L. Glawson
for sheriff and D. P. Murray, of
Plains, for tax receiver, subject to
the rules of the white primary to be
held March 8. Mr. Glawson's an
nouncement states that if elected his
deputy will be C. R. Malone, of Les
lie
The announcement of Mr.. Claw
son had been expected by many for
several days, it having been gener-
ally known and publicly admitted by
him that he was considering making
the race. That Mr.. Malone would
be his deputy, however, appeared as
surprise in some circles, the name
of John Monohan having been the
only one heretofore generally men
toned in connection with Mr.. Claw
sons expected race.
The announcement of Mr.. Murray,
who lives in Plains, came as a de-
cided surprise, no announcement up
to this time having given rise to the
belief that the present tax receiver,
George D. Jones, who has announced
for reelection, would have no oppo-
sition.
A Plains Candidate.
For some time there has been talk,
however, that Plains would put a
resident of that section in the court
house this year, and an active candi-
date for some office was not unex-
pected.
"You may say for Mr. Malone and
myself" said Mr.. Glawson, "that we
are unalterably for the enforcement
of the law, whether it be the prohi-
bition law or any other, and should
we be elected we will undertake to
cooperate with the people"
Mr.. Malone, who is picked as Mr..
Glawson's deputy, is farmer, man
of middle age and fine physique.
When it was jokingly remarked to
Mr.. Glawson that he went into Sher-
iff Harvey's home stronghold to Sc
lect his deputy, he replied, "Well,
that is where he beat me the other
time"
Mr.. Glawson opposed Lucius Har-
vey, the present sheriff, six years
ago, and lost by a narrow margin.
Four years ago he did not enter the
race but told Mr.. Harvey that he
would oppose him this year. Mr..
Harvey announced for reelection
/ few days ago, naming T M. Sum-
mers, his present deputy. for the
place in case he is reelected. A mer-
ry contest is expected by the friends
of both candidates.
His First Offer.
Mr.. Murray is a brother of DR..
Nathan Murray, Americas druggist,
and one of the best known men of
Sumter county. This is the first time
he has ever offered for any office. He
is a native of the Plains section, and
has been a farmer all of his life.
At present he is living in Plains, go
ing back and forth between that city
and his farm while carrying on his
farming operations. He is recogniz-
ed as one of the most progressive and
efficient farmers in this section, and
is highly and widely respected. That
he will have large following in the
primary is not doubted by his wide
circle of friends.
The only other additional political
announcement Saturday was that of
R. R. Howe, who declared himself
for reelection to the Office of county
surveyor.

EVERYBODY INTERESTED
IN RED CROSS CARNIVAL.

EVERYBODY in Warrenton, by the way.
is keenly interested in the prepara-
tions for the Red Cross Carnival to
in July. And everyoody's much
pleased because Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
has made a generous contribution to
the fund The entertainment is to
take the form of a "block carnival"
with the streets roped off and all the
festivities and frivolities and pleasant
foolishness of a good old fashioned
country fair in full swing.
All through the Piedmont section
of Virginia there has been a notable
revival of interest in polo. largely
due, I'm told, to the activities of Ray
mond Belmont. who is captaining the
cracker jack Middleburg team. An
other team is being organized around
Marshall. Va. They play on the new
polo field recently perfected at the
County Fair Grounds near Marshall
and also at CasanOva-on the field
in the Melrose Castle estate, laid out
by William Weightman, former
owner.
There was a game at Marshall on
Wednesday and also one the Saturday
before. On that occasion the two
teams played six periods and Ray
mond Belmont was the only one who
scored for the Reds-making seven
goals. The Whites scored six goals,
w. p. Hulburt making three. William
Skinker two, and Arthur White one.
b. ID. Spilman, jr., and Lucien Keith,
jr.. are among the Warrenton boys
one sees constantly with mallets over
their shoulders.
The Fauquier Polo Club, which now
has an active membership of twenty
six members, is the reorganization of
the old Fauquier Polo Club, which
purchased a number Of years ago a
field near Marshall. When the Fauquier
County Agricultural Association wish
cd fair grounds the polo club turn
ed over their field to the association
with the understanding the polo club
should always have the privilege OF
the field for games and practice.
Several months ago, when the interest
in polo was revived, the Fauquier
Polo Club, as stated above, was re-
organized. Fairfax Harrison is presi-
dent and j. W. Slaughter secre-
tary and treasurer. The members of
the club are most enthusiastic and
play several times week, but their
best game is played Saturday after
moons, with generally large crowl
from both Fauqufer and Loudoun
counties in attendance.
While there appear to be no stables
in Fauquier going in for breeding polo
ponies. they are now using ponies
from 10 to 1873 hands-15.2 being the
popular size. These animals are being
selected from the thoroughbred colts

busy GETTING READY
FOR WARRENTON SHOW.

The Warrenton Horse Show, which
is the event of the season, is TO he
held the latter part OF August. And
those who are out of town-and all
genuine Warrentonians seem to be
getting out Of town for at least part
of August-will come hurrying back
in order to take part in the festivi-
ties in connection herewith. Mean
while the new Country Club. which
was opened in May, is contributing no
little to the general gayety. Its a
really lovely place, the old home of
the late DIR. S. ID. Kennedy, L. s. N
father OF Mrs. William Beverly Mason
, Of Washington and il has been mod
crniZcd into "A charming and complete
clubhouse, with "A ballroom, wide
verandas and sleeping rooms upstairs.
Then, OF course, there are tennis
courts and the golf links are excel
lent.
One of the jolly parties in which
were included lot of Warrenton
people and many of the Washington
ians who have settled down in that
part of the country was the dance
given on Friday night by the young
people of the little town of Washing
ton in Rappahannock county, Va.
There isn't a railroad in the entire
county-the country folk use War
renton or Front Royal--but there's s
plenty Of wealth and education and
cultivation. And the people of Rap
pahannock county, named for the In
dians who held the land when the
white man came. are famed for their
hospitality. Washington, the county
seat is perhaps twenty miles from
either railroad connection.
There seems to be never a time
when Warrenton isn't full of Wash
ington people. Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Elgin are there now spending n
month. Major and Mrs. Joseph At
kins are visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Harrison at their place on the edge
of town. Mrs. L. s. Deare, of Wash
ington, has gone up to spend the
weekend with her aunt, Miss Vic
toria Sublett. Miss May Mills Is tn"

BAR HARBOR COLONY
ATTRACTS ID. q. FOLKS.
Medical Director and Mrs Francis
S. Nash and Miss Carolyn Nash are
leaving town the FIRST OF August for
Bar Harbor, TO stay until the early
autumn. Somehow one doesn't seem
to hear very much about what is
going on at Bar Harbor this summer
and yet Mt. Desert boasts a flourish
ing Washington colony. Mr.. and Mrs.
q. c. Glover are occupying their cot
tage there-Mr. Glover was off at
Marion, Ohio, last week. however
helping to notify Senator Harding
that he had been nominated for the
Presidency-and the Arthur Addisons
are at the pretty little cottage which
has been their summer home for
many years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reginald Huidekoper
are at "Graywood." one OF the most
charmingly situated cottages on the
island, and DIR. and Mrs. James =.
Mitchell have gone to Bar Harbor to
stay three months. Guy Fairfax
Whiting and his daughter, Miss Julia
Whiting opened their cottage before
ever the season began and his elder
daughter, Mrs. John Baldwin Coch-
ran, is with them for the summer.
The Ord Prestons are at Grindstone
Neck. their place at nearby Winter
Harbor, and Mrs. Prestons sister,
Mrs. Conger Pratt, is spending part
OF the summer with them
The minister of Portugal, Niscount
dAlte. who returned to this country
month or so ago after going home
on leave-despite the recurrent ru-
mors that he was not to come back
has gone to Bar Harbor and mas
established the legation there for
the summer. He's an old Bar Harbor
"fan," and so is Constantin Brun, the
Danish minister who took possession
of his summer quarters on Mt. Desert
some weeks ago.
Mrs. Edmund Pendleton and Mrs.
Hunt Slater also go to Bar Harbor
every SeaSOn-MrS. PendletOn mas
spent September in her cottage every
year for the last thirty years-but
they are to be among the late ar
rivals and are now putting in some
weeks at Hot Springs.
York Harbor further up the Maine
coast is equally popular with Wash
ington folk. Nine. Christian Hauge
has a cottage there. SO has Mrs.
John f. Rodgers, who has the Horace
Westcotts with her for the season.
And Nine. de Riano, wife of the Span
ish ambassador is going up next
week to stay with her sister, Mrs.
Chandler Anderson. Mrs. Brecken-
ridge Long. and Mr.. and Mrs J. Her
bert Stabler are also members of the

to the ranks of WaShingtonians at
the resort is Mrs. Cromwell Brooks,
who has taken a charming place for
the summer months.
