To the Voters of Poi.k County:—I have, for some time, contemplated en tering the race for Sherilf ot Polk ftomily. I have withheld a public an nouncement for a settlement of the question as to whether or not a white primary would be hold lor the selection of county officers, being unabio 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 tlie county who have -expressed their wishes anil opinions on the subject have pro nounced in favor of a while primary, and the Committee ttie people elected to manage it have called lor a white pri mary to lie held on August the 15tli for the selection of county officers, I feel that there is an open field ami a fair rare for a!!, 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. It 1 am not the nominee of the white voters of the county for that'of- fice, I am for the man who is. it elected. I shall endeavor to show my apprecia tion of the confidence my feliow-ci'i- zons repose in me bv making the best officer in iny power. My Deputies will bo announced later. J. C. Knxoht. I hereby announce myself a candidate for re-election as County Surveyor, sub ject to the White Primary to lie held Aug. 15th. Charlie R. Pittman. Keep your premises well limed.
