JOE WILKES WON'T
Be A CANDIDATE
THE POPULAR EIGHTH DISTRICT
SQUIRE TO STAY OUT OF
COUNTY CLERKS RACE,

Joe T. 'Wikes. popular member of
the county court for the eighth dis
trict, will not be candidate for coun>
ty court clerk, although his announce
ment for that Office had been expected
for some time by many friends. Mr..
Wilkes made a most creditable race
for this Office seven years ago and
many of his friends had expected that
he would aspire this time. However,
Mr.. Wilkes has set the matter at rest
by authorizing the statement that he
would not be in the race. Mr.. Wilkes
is engaged in the mercantile business
with his sons at Sawdust Valley and
he said that aside from whether he
could win or not. it would be impossl'
BILE to devote four or five months to a
campaign and neglect his business.
He expressed the highest apprecia-
tion of the interest that many friends
had manifested in him and the assur'
ances of support which he had re-
ceived
1t is believed now that the lists for
the Office of county court clerk are
closed and that the issue will be decid-
ed between Squire Gilbert M. Orr
of the ninth district, and Squire Thom-
as Y. English. of the sixth district,
