ASK CITIZENS
ELECT COWAN
All Praise County Auditor
For Fairness To
Negroes

The political tidal waves in Wayne
county reached their crest this week
as prominent Democrats and Re-
publicans prepared final campaign
fireworks for the election on April
3. The sensational issue is reyolV-
ing around the office OF county audi
tor and prominent professional and
business men are urging the colored
citizenry to forget party labels in
the interest Of the Races welfare.
They ask in unison for the re-elec-
ton Of John C. cowsn.
DR.. Aaron c. Toodle, prominent
Republican leader and Well-knoWn
druggist, stated last week that AS
a great civic leader in Wayne coun-
ty, as a big brother Of all humanity
and because OF what he has done,
JOHN c. COWAN merits your
vote on April 3 for reelection as
county auditor"
Attorney Lloyd LOOMS, distin-
guished lawyer and senior partner
Of the law firm Of LOOMS. Jones,
Piper and Golden. stated that, "As
a close personal friend Of John c.
Cowan, who is a candidate for re-
election 10 the board OF county audi
tors, have had occasion to watch
his work as one OF the directors OF
the business OF this large county
for a great many years and, with
out hesitation, for one, recommend
him to the voters OF Wayne county
for reelection 10 that office.
II trust that all Negro citizens
Of Wayne county will make it the
first order Of business on April ,,
20 go 10 the polls and cast a vote
for JOHN c. COWAN."
Fred Hart Williams, prominent
Wayne county worker, states that:

my relations with JOHN C.. COW
AN. Wayne county auditor, the Re-
publican candidate for reelection,
April 3, 1889 Our acquaintance
ship has ripened since its inception,
into one OF steadfast friendship be-

and friendly with those Of US OF

cial extractions. There is no distinc-
ton drawn by him when it comes 10
advancement. or promotion in coun-
'ty government where he has either
advisory or supervisory control.
IN all these years OF my more or
less close association Of employer
and employee. have yet to dis
Germ any racial bias in the make

self. but my friends have enjoyed
the hospitality OF his home and the
congenial offices OF a splendid host.

Ask Voters
To Choose
Democrats

The Democratic administration
passed the State Civil Service law
which has assured the members OF
our Race OF their jobs, provided they
were qualified.
There are now bills pending to
abolish civil service and if these
bills are passed in the Republican
legislature, the Negro employees will
probably be dismissed. It is doubt
full if their places will be filled by
other qualified members OF our
Race.
A vote for the straight Democra-
tic ticke, will help Negroes maintain
the gains we have now made, It
will keep open the doors OF equal
opportunity for all in the state. 1t
will give labor a fair break and
will uphold honesty in the admins

Mullins Family To Gather For Reunion Sunday

C. J. Mullins, chairman, has
just released tn program as
planned for the. Mullins reunion
to be held on the high school
grounds here at Clintwood on Sun
day, October 18th. Exercises are
to begin at 1890 a. m. Although
several reunions of Dickenson's
prominent families are held annu-
ally, no clan can match the Null
Inns reunion in numbers, and
from the program just released it
appears that the visitors can ex-
pect an interesting day Of events.
The exercises will consist of songs,
speeches and a business session.
Several prominent speakers will be
present and take part on the pro-
gram.
The Mullinses were among the
first settlers to make what is now
Dickinson County til e i r home,
John Mullins crossing the noun
tains and settling in Holly Greek
Valley in 1929. To the many j.
lustrious sons and daughters of
the Mullins generation Dickinson
County owes much in her civic
and religious development and
progress.

More COOns For
1910?

Our friend, Ersel Edwards, has
suggested that we write a piece
about coon hunters, and we do so
with a will.
Tie coon hunters are a good
bunch of boys. Of them we know
much and nothing to their discred-
it. Knowing they will agree with
us when they think it through, we
proceed to dust them off.
A splendid start was made dur
ing the summer toward restock-
ing the Dickinson County hills
with coons. The enthusiasm caught
OH, and everybody got interested
in more coons. Private donations
and public funds were spent to
buy coons for multiplying and re-
plenishing the hills.
But what does it profit to re
stock the hills with coons and
then catch them all? Give them
a chance to get start so that we
will really have them in the fu-
ture. Don't hunt the females to
death and destroy the kittens be-
fore they are grown. Let them
increase, and when we do have
coons in plenty, hunt them in
moderation.
We like the Coon Club slogan,
MORE COONS IN 1910.
What is the best way to get
them?
