where people can afford to pay them.

county expenses and the payment of
the heavy indebtedness of the county-
I promise, if elected, to continue to
do all in my power toward lessening
the burdens of the taxpayers of the
countv.
G. M. Toney.
On March 1, 1933, the present
Board of County Commissioners were
faced with an almost empty treasury.
It was necessary for them to pledge
their personal credit in order to ob
tain the supplies necessary to carry
on the work of the chain gang. Their
first acts were to make drastic cuts
in the salaries of county employees
and to reduce expenses in every way
possible. I am asking the support
of the voters ot the county in the
coming primary.
J. E. Holliman.

ed that bales of lint cotton har

The direction of the work is
under the supervision of the
county agent and his assistants.
The county and community cot

peculiar let downs last Saturday in
the game with Pojjlar Spring. Start
ed oft" with the customary zip which
has won them half a dozen games in
a row, but after the first inning thev
began to doze and soon were sleeping
in the afternoon sun. The visitors
grew weary of running bases and quit
before the game was finished. But
don’t you think they’ll do this every
time. I’ve seen it happen before.
