The Leader for Collar
If any official deserves to be
re elected, Jake Collar is one.
He has spent a great deal of his
time planning for the best in-
terest of the county, and initiat
ed more resolutions and secured
the passage of more county leg-
islation than both the other
members of the board. He runs
a large business in Chandler,
but finds time to discuss county
interests with his constituents,
sometime a dozen in a! day. In
order to secure needed measures
in behalf of his district he is
forced to compromise, revise and
log-roll until he is obliged to put
up with less than a "half loaf,"
but it that or nothing with a
partisan majority against him.
We hope Jake Collar will be
elected. —Wellston Leader.
It seems that Bob Morrow is
due to be the commissioner from
the First. District for the next
term. The present incumbent
has not given very general satis-
faction arid Bob, in his former
term in that office, established a
reputation for fairness to all
parts of his district that makes
him a favorite. The voters of
that district like him and seem
disposed to try "two more years
of Morrow."
terrritorial board of equalization
took Lincoln county as a stand-
aid and made the assessments
of all the other counties corres-
pond with it. That certainly
shows that Hinchey did a good
job and indicates what we can
expect from him if elected this
fall.
John Murray, democratic can-
didate for county clerk was in
town Tuesday talking politics
with Davenport people. He is
a competent man and will make
an efficient officer if elected.

The commissioners have con-
tracted for a new steel bridge
near the DeMoss farm and a
Davenport man, Nate Nash, has
the contract to put in the con
crete abutments. This district
ought to see to it that Jake Col
lar is kept on the board until
some more of these old bridges
are replaced by permanent
structures.
,vhen Tom hinchey, dem
ocratic 'candidate for county
assessor, assessed this county
once in territorial days, the
J. M. Gardner in his campaign
for the office of sheriff is using
some facts and figures that will
be mighty hard for his republi-
can opponent to get around.
He quotes the law to show that
the sheriff of Lincoln county is
entitled to only eight deputies
and that these deputies are sup-
posed to do only the work that
the sheriff is prevented from do-
ing by reason of sickness or
press of other official duties.
Gardner has learned that the
presort sheriff has appointed
about 75 deputies and quotes
monthly reports to show that
these deputies do most all the
work that is supposed to be done
by the sheriff and his salaried
office force. The deputies, of
course draw the fees which
would otherwise be turned into
the county treasurery. Of
course the army of deputies
makes a cracker jack political
machine, which will be someth-
ing Gardner will lack if elected.
One Continuous
Round of Pleasure
We find business as pleas-
ant as pleasure, in fact we
like to sell goods fully as
well as playing checkers. We
take a delight in seeing our
customers earring out a wag-
on load of goods at prices
that make them happy for
this makes us happy too.
Think of the joy in a peck
of spuds for 25c, of the com-
fort in a sack of meal at 40c
in a pound of coffee at 20c, a
head of cabbage at 2 l-2c.
Think of the delight in wear-
ing a $3.50 shoe for $3, a
$2.50 hat for $1.90, a $15.00
suit for $10.00 and this is
only a very few of the pleas-
ures in buying in our store
Money is hard to get and
it stands you in hand to
make a dollar go as lar as
possible, and we will make . t
go further than anybody.
Try us and see for yourself
Come in and see us before
you sell your cotton. We
might help you out a little-
will tell you more about the
cotton market next week.
Wishing you much suc-
cess, we are, yours,
E. B. Moore & Co.
Jake Collar is accused" of
"playing politics" because he
tried to cut down the countys
useless expenditures, That's a
wicked accusation, sure, and he
will be properly rebuked at the
polls this fall by that large and
consequental following of citi
zens who think they are nott
paying enough taxes.
S. U. Silverthorn, democratic
candidate for the office of county
treasurer is a successful business
man of Tryon. He is known
over the county as a level-head-
ed, thoroughly competent fellow,
who will make an honest accom-
odating official. Those who do
not know liiin should make it a
point to investigate him before
election day.
