TH0MPS0NT0 RUN FOR TREASURER HAS PLAN BY WHICH COUNTY CAN BE SAVED APPROXI¬ MATELY TWO THOUS¬ AND PER YEAR. Mr. C. S. Thompson, cashier of the Bank of Covington, will be in the race for the office of countv.treas¬ urer at the coming primary. He will ask the people to support him for the office hu unlike others who generally make the races for offices, he will ask no pay for his services.; The News carried an article on Jan. 1,5th. 1913 carrying Mr. Thomp¬ son’s annuoncement that he would ne in "he race next term and the ar¬ ticle explains Mr, Thompson’s views and we reproduce it as follows: “Mr. C S. Thompson is in the race for the office of county treasurer for the next term. This is the first can¬ didate to enter the race in Newton county or in Georgia, that we have heard of But Mr. Thompson is dif¬ ferent from teh others who generally make the races for county offices. He will ask the people to support him for the office, but he doesn’t want them to pay him for the work. “In fact Mr, Thompson has advo¬ cated for a long time the abolishing of the office of county treasurer, giv¬ ing as his reason that it is an use¬ less expense to* the county, that the only thing that the county treasure! has to do is to pay out the funds only on warrant from the board of commissioners, that he can not give a check for a penny except or a warrant that the clerk of the hoard of commissioners is required to keep the same identical record as the treasurer, that there is no more than three days work for the treasr urer during the entire year, and that for these and other reasons the office sliould be abolished. ‘Air. Thompson said to a reporter of The News yseterday he didn’t want the impression to go out that he was running against the present official or any other man who might he in the race. He said that his reason for announcing at this time that he was a candidate was that it was tot the L ginning of the term and that it sim¬ ply meant that he wanted it after the expiraion of the term. He says it Y'ill be no trouble for him to do the work and tha‘ he will be glad to do it for the county, gratis. “As it now stands "he office of coun iv treasurer in Newton county is one of the best paying of them all. It is a safe statement that the office pays overage of $1809 per year and iu the light of Mr. Thompson’s argu rtent, it is an useless drain on the i ount.y’S' funds. “The race of Mr, Thompson will be watched with .interest hy the people over the county, as abolishing the office has been a live here for several years.” AN_ OPEN LETTER FROM THE FROM THE RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEAL COMMITTEE. During the' current year 1500 con sduyitives have been treated by the various- agencies at work in Georgia, of these are cured; some are on the wa- to health; some are ut¬ terly hopeless. Duetide of three or four of the larger cittes no call upon the peo¬ ple of Georgia for this great work other than to buy Re Crodss Christ n as Seals in December. This year the National Committee allotted to us Two Million seals, (twenty- thousand dollars worth,) end this amount if sold puts Georgia in line with those states doing their full duty in the battle against the drqad plague of consumption. Atlanta is making a heroic strug¬ gle to sell one million seals. We are askiing the rest of the state to buy one million. If every t/wn and city to which seals have teen sent should make a clean sal e it will earn the one HHou will be sold. It will place no burden on any com¬ munity, the amount is so small. If every one who sees this appeal will contribute a very little time, or a very small amount, it wall bo done. This will mean the lengthening of our lines, the strengthening of our work, the saving of life in Georgia. WILL YOU NOT HELP? BERNARD OUTLER, Another in the Clerk’s Race CONSIDERING THROWING HAT IN THE RING IN THE RACE FOR CLERK OF NEWTON SUPERIOR COURT. Col. A. H. Foster, at present state senator from the 27 ( th senatorial dis¬ trict and exrepresentative from New ton county will likely be in the race for Clerk of the Newton Superior Court. Col. Foster has served in the ca¬ pacity of county school superintenden as clerk of the Board of County Com¬ missioners, as representative and is now serving a term as state senator and is a very popular man. He said Saturday that he would very probably enter the race for the office of clerk and make his formal announce¬ ment within the next few days. This makes seven that have an¬ nounced their intention of making the race, though none have made any formal announcement to the voters. The seven are J. W. Harwell. Geo. T. Smith. J. H. Carroll. J. A. Cathey, A.. H. Foster, of Covington; John Wood, of Mansfield and Prof Neely, of West Newton. With the announcement of Col. A. Ii. Foster’s intention of making the race for clerk; Mr. Thompson's an¬ nouncement for treasurer and sever¬ al announcements for one commission er. it looks as if Newton will have' her share of politics next year.

BROYLES WILL OP¬ POSE JUDGE ROAN ATLANTA’S RECORDER WILL BE IN THE RACE FOR THE SEAT ON THE COURT COURT OF APPEALS. Judge Nash R. Broyles, for fifteen years Recorder, in the city of Atlan¬ ta, will make the race for the unexpir ed term of Judge Ben. H. Hill on the Court of Appeals. This place is now held by Judge L. S. Roan, until No ^ ember Judge of the Stone Mountaii Judicial Circuit, when he was appoint ed to this place when Judge Hill was appointed to the new judgeship of Fulton county. Judge Broyles made his. formal an¬ nouncement last week in the daily papers and will no doubt make a good race. He ran last year and the race between he nd Judge Pottle re¬ sulted in a tie in the convention and Judge Broyles withdrew from the con test and made Judge Pottle’s nomi¬ nation unanimous. Judge Roan has many friends in Newton g.s well as the other counties in the Stone Mountain Circuit who are interested in. his future. He had the following to say in one of the Atlanta papers Friday night in re¬ gard to his intentions; “1 had made no definite plans for the future when I accepted the ap | piintment to the Appelate bench,” he said to the Gorgian. “I did not know whether I would ask to serve longer on this bench. I am still un¬ decided. In fact I had not given the matter much thought before the candidacy of Recorder Broyles was announced, and it is unlikely that I will be prepared to make any announ¬ cement before the first of the new year.” BLUE LIST.
