WHY A CONTEST FOR COUNTY
COMMISSIONER?
The Job of county commlaaloner

taken up a good hit of a bunlnenn man's
time, with a whole lot of cunning
thrown in for go<*l measure And
yet rtenplte theee liandlcapn. the Hoard
of County Commlnnlanern ban worked
hard and faithfully to put the affair*
of the county on a sound bustne*n
basts, and to get the county out of
debt, which It han been struggling un
der for a goi.d many years.
I.et’n keep the county commission
out ot politics and on a bunlnenn
basin. Nothing else I* going to sat
isfy the people and the tax payers of
the county.
At the ptenent time the only con
test on In Richmond county in for one
of the places on the Board of County
Commissioners. This content will cost
the whole expense of holding a pri
mary for without it the primary com
mittee could declare the nominee* and
save both the people and the candi
dates a whole lot of trouble and worry
and going t othe polls.
I* It really worth while to ask 5.000
voters to go to the poll* and decide
who is to be count- commissioner
when all the candidate* are good
sound and successful I unities* men.
and when the business program for
putting the county nut of debt ha*
been agreed upon, and il carried out in
the next two yearn will put the coun
ty where it can pay it* bills promptly,
discount them where possible and save
thousand* of dollar* a year that the
county has been paying out In Inlcr

Certainly the tax payer* are not go
ing to see this fine business program
of the county Interfered with. We hate
no idea that any of the gentlemen
mentioned in this connection from the
City—Messrs. Nixon. Holley and t’unl
—are going to Interfere with the sound
gnd business-like management of the
county’s affai r s.
Then why have a race and stir up
Clitics for a place on the county
>ard of commissioner* at thl* time*
l>Cs get as fur as we can through
the aumuier without politics There
will be a plenty a bit later during the
state campaign.
Wa suggest that as a business pro
position the three business men whose
names are mentioned for places on the
county board from the city, get to
gether and save themselves and the
county as a whole from a heated con
test. Why not talk the situation over-
Why not draw straws for the two
places among the three names? Let’s
