To the Voters of Butts County.
t _
. .JTTfTTT IT and Charity for all> 1 make this announcement as a candidate
T in n *TJ P ° f BUttS Supel ' ior Court at the Primary to be held subject to the
T makl " g th ' s announcement, I wish to say to the voters of Butts that I appreciate their
loya suppo in the past, and during my stay in the Clerk’s office, did my best to show my
appreciation by doing my every duty to the best of my ability, and should they see proper to
elect me again I will strive to sprvp +y, orn ;
them in a manner that will satisfy both my people and
the law.
This announcement will be sufficient, I hope, as the voters of this County know me and
my fitness or the office I ask at their lymds, hence, I shall not undertake to canvass the county,
but wish to set a precept that I know many good people will endorse, and one that the county
has long felt the need of, viz., that a man’s announcement should be enough for him to do.
Let the people do the rest. Away with canvassing, bothering, nagging, offering coin, pulling
and trying to persuade men from their honest dictates.
Let every man vote his honest convictions, and every man take his Aat off to whatever
is his fate.
Again thanking my people for their past support and asking them to again give me their
aid, I remain most respectfully,
Yours to Serve,
A. H. S. DAVIS.
Politics In Butts
Gasoline engines, new job
presses and new type have mon
opolized so much of The Progress’
time in the last few weeks that
we have had neither time nor
space in which to call attention
to the many new announcements
which have been coming in all
along.
*
* *
Mr. J. P. Maddox offers for tax
collector, and no doubt he will
live up to his promise which he
makes in his announcement.
Read it.
As tax collector, Mr. W. J.
McClendon would make a good
officer. He announces for this
office and calls for your support.
*
* *
Mr. G. E. McMichael is known
to every voter in the county per
haps, and offers for re-election to
the office of tax receiver.
*
* *
Mr. Thos. E. Redman also of
fers for tax receiver, and has
many friends who will stand firm
when voting time comes.
* *
*
Mr. J. Matt McMichael, one of
the best known men in the coun
ty, promises to represent the
county in the lower house of the
General Assembly, if elected.
* *
♦
For treasurer, Mr. S. J. Smith
aspires for election. He would
bring to the office, if elected, that
genuine homespun honesty and
determination to do it right,
which is always needed for such
offices. Mr. Smith will no doubt
secure a pleasant quantity of the
votes when the primary ap
proaches.
* *
*
For the same office Mr. B. P.
Bailey reannounces, He has held
the office for the past three years
and it is universally agreed that
he has made a most excellent
county official for which he de
serves and doubtless receives the
thanks of the people.
* *
*
Messrs L. M. Crowford and J.
O. Maddox offer for sheriff and
deputy sheriff. These are w’ideb
known and clever, good men
splendidly capable of filling the
office to which they aspire.
Everybody seems agreed that
Judge J. H. Ham makes a good
officer and besides is one of the
finest men going. He announces
for reelection to the ordinary’s
office.
* *
*
Mr, A. T. Woodward, one of
Butts’ staunch citizens would ap
preciate your vote for ordinary.
Read his announcement and con
sider him for the office.
* *
*
For state senator, Col. 0. M.
Duke, makes his announcement
in The Progress. He knows how
to make friends, and besides,
possesses many qualities which a
state senator should have.
In this issue of The Progress,
Mr. S. H. Mays also announees
for senator from the 26th. Mr.
Mays has had legislative exper
ience as representative from
Butts, which should assist in
equipping him for the office to
which he now aspires.
* *
*
Mr. J. A. McMichael—a well
known citizen of the county—
would become tax collector. His
announcement appears in The
Progress, and he will appreciate
your support.
* *
*
Sheriff Wilson offers again for
sheriff with Mr. W. F. Stroud as
deputy. These gentlemen have
won many supporters by the man
ner in which they have perform
ed their duties, and tney are
earnest in their assurance that
the voters will have no cause to
regret their reelection.
* *
*
Mr. J. T. Goodman, who asks
for the treasurer’s office is anoth
er one of the county’s able citi
zens. The tone of his announce
ment which appears in The Pro
gress indicates a broad mind and
a big heart. Consider him well.
An announcement rather
unique in these days of political
canvassing is that of Mr. A. .
S Davis, candidate for clerk of
Butts Superior court. “Away
with canvassing, bothering and
nagging” says Mr. Davis, and no
doubt this attitude will meet the
approval of many, for it has a
sounding to it. Mr. Davis has
heretofore served the county in
an official way and may count on
many for support. Read his an
nouncement.
THE EDITOR’S TROUBLES.
Editing a newspaper is a nice
thing. If we publish jokes peo
ple say we are rattled-brained; if
we don’t we are fossils. If we
publish original matter they say
we don’t give them enough selec
tions. If we give them selections
they say we are too lazy to write.
If we don’t go to church we are
heathen. If we do, we are hypo
crites. If we remain in the office
we ought to be out hunting for
news items. If we go out, then
we are not attending to our bus
iness. If we wear old clothes,
they laugh at us. If we wear
good clothes, they say we have a
pull. Now, what are we going
to do? Just as likely as not some
one will say we stole this article
from an exchange; so we did.
