We are authorised to announce George C.
Ileniley, at a candidate for the office of .sher-
iff of tireer County, tubject to tlie Democratic
primary'. Augunt 4, IMOt!.
CALL FOE COHVENTIOH.
Notice is heroby given that a
convention will be held at Man-
gum Saturday, June 16, to
place a farmers' full ticket for
county officer* in the field. All
persona who feel an interest in
this matter, especially the farm-
ers, are urged to be present and
participate in this convention.
This call has beeu published at
the request of a large number of
farmers and others in various
parts of the county, who feel that
the farmer should be more prom-
inently represented iu the di-
vision of the county offijes than
he is at present, aud it is to take
care of his interests that the con-
vention will be held.
The announcement of George
C. Hensley, of Victory, as a can-
didate for the office of sheriff of
Greer county, will be found iu
this issue of the Times. George
is too well known to oil the voters
to need mush of an introduction
from the Times, and his fituess
for this office is especially appar-
ent to all who have watched his
work during the long y^ars of
his deputyship. Last election
George witedrew from the race to
let Nelson and Bragg have full
swiug, but this time he is iu the
ring to stay, aud will receive the
enthusiastic support of many
frieuds, not ouly iu the south
part of the county, but all over.
George has many qualifications
which should recommeud him to
the voters. His honesty is well
known. He has a persistency aud
stick-to-it-ive-ness which means
that ouce on track of a criminal
he will not let up until he has
lauded him. He asks for your
support on his merits, and will
be a large factor in the race.
Snyder and Headrick have
both suffered disastrous fires iu
the past week. Some are of the
opinion that a fire bug is coming
down the Frisco, but we scarcely
believe that. However, it will
do no harm for our citizens to
keep a strict watch, aud set the
dog on all suspicious characters.
The members of the commit-
tees for the Old Settlers' picnic
will have to do some hustling to
get everything in shape by July 4.
Let's oil get. to work earnestly,
'| and make this picnic a success.

The leading exponent of Jeffersonian
Democracy, Edited by Hon. Thos. E.
Watson, of Georgia, the Father of Rural
Free Delivery; author of "The Story of
France,". "Life of Napoleon,'-' "Life and
Times of Thomas Jefferson," "Bethany"
and other books. Mr. Watson was the
People's Party nominee for Vice-Presi-
dent in 1896, and for President in 1904.
He is to-day heading a middle-class ,
reform movement which is bound to Kansas City,
sweep the country in a short time. |
Watson's Magazine is not a Socialist 1
publication. It does not stand for j
collective ownership of all the means of .
production. Mr. Watson believes in I
public or government ownership of
railroads, telegraphs and telephones;
in municipal ownership of street rail-
ways, gas, electric lights, water works,
etc.; and he believes in private owner-
ship of all industries not natural
monopolies.
The middle class—the home owners,
farmers, small business men and prop-
erty owners—won Jefferson's victory in
1800; won Jackson's victory over Nick
Biddle's money power in 1832; won
Lincoln's victory in 1860. But each 1
time after the flush of victory had died ;
away, they became careless of their j
rights and went to sleep. They have .
slept a good portion of the time since
1865, but |
Watson's Magazine is waking them
up. Another great victory is in the
air. Keep in touch with the move-
ment.
