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. Col. W. C.

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. MEN! WE CAN FURNISH YOU WITH SUflflER COMFORTS Mr G. A.
