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.
