FOK SHERIFF.
To the Voters of Poi.k County: -I
have, for some time, contemplated en
tering the face for Slieril) of Polk
county. I have withheld a public an
nouncement for a settlement, of flip
question as to whether or not a white
primary would lie held for the selection
of county officers, being unable to buy
votes, and also opposed conscientiously
to vote buying, even if I were able to
buv them. That question being settled,
since nearly all the people of the county
who have expressed their wisiies and
opinions on the subject, have pro
nounced in favor of a white primary,
and the Committee the people elected
to manage it have called for a white pri
mary to l>o held on August the 15th for
the selection of county officers, I feel
that there is an open field and a fairrace
for all, whether rich or poor, upon their
merits and qualifications for office. I,
therefore, announce myself a candidate
for the office of Sheriff, subject to the
white primary on the date aboye men
tioned. If 1 am not the nominee of the
white voters of the county for that of
fice, I am for the man who is. If elected.
I shall endeavor to show my apprecia
tion of the confidence my fellow-cpi-
zens repose in me by making the best
officer in my power. My Deputies will
bo announced later. J. C. Knight.

REVIVAL MEETINGS
Will Commence Sunday Evening
at the Methodist Church.
The second quarterly meeting of the
conference year at the Methodist
church is near at hand. Rev. J. F.
Mixon, tile presiding elder, will preach
Sunday evening, and will hold the
quarterly conference Monday morning.
At the Sunday evening service a
series of revival meetings will be in
augurated by the pastor, Rev. T. R.
McCarty,who is fresh from a big revival
meeting at Carrollton, in which he
was assisted by Messrs. C. M. Duna
way and L. J. Baker.
The meeting at Carrollton was es
pecially successful, as can be judged by
the following excerpt from the Carroll
Free Press:—
“Rev. T. H. McCarty, assisted by
Messrs. C. M. Dunaway and L. J. Baker,
has the meeting in charge. From tlio
first the whole truth has been declared
by the preachers w’thout fear. The fact
that there have been .approximately 150
conversions and reclamations is evi
dence that God has heard and isanswer-
ing prayer. There have been forty-
eight additions to the Methodist church,
eight to the Baptist and four to the
Methodist Protestant. The church is
crowded to its fullest capacity at eyery
service.”
Miss Jennie Armstrong, a teacher in
the Atlanta public schools, will come
up some time next week to assist in
the meetings, and is a revivalist of
power. It is expected that the ap
proaching series of- meetings will be
attended with marked success.
