I have withheld a public an nouncement for a settlement, of the question as to whether or not a "White primary would be held for the selection of county officers, being unable to buy otes, and also opposed conscientiously to vote buying, even if I were able to buv them. That question being settled, since nearly all Un people of the county who have expressed their wishes 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 lor a white pri mary to be held on August the loth for the selection of county officers, I feel that there is an open field and a fair race for all, whether rich or poor, upon tyieir 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. ~ shall endeavor to show my apprecia tion of the. confidence my fellow-citi zens repose in me by making the best officer in my power. My Deputies will in Stubbs Building. be Messrs. T. C.
