in the county were received and
;he following is the amount each
place offered to get the warehouse

McCrory, $350.00, Ilowell, $250.
30 and a leased lot for warehouse
purposes only. Jelks, leased lots
for any purpose for which the
Union might need same. About
20 of the stock-holders were pres
ent and the vote stood as follows:
McCrory 14, Jelks 6.
We think these good people act
ad wisely in locating their ware

think that our citizens also acted
yery wisely in giving the $350.00
to get the warehouse.
A site committee was appoint
ed and it is supposed the build
ing will be located in the east part
af town near the railroad. A list
af the persons donating and their
imounts will be published in the

ELHO M. CARL-LEE
The announcement of Elmo M.
Dari-Lee, of Augusta, appears in
this issue of the News, as a candi
date for re-election to a second
term as Represenative of Wood
ruff county.
Mr. Carl-Lee is too well known by
the people of the county to need any
tvord of introduction from us. He
has served the people in the capac
ity of Representative well for the
first term, and there is no doubt
but that he would do even better
next time.
He asks for the office a second
time upon his record, and promises
to faithfully discharge every obli
gation of the position. As to an
oppouent, it is now thought that
he will have none.

WALTER B. FAKES
The announcement of the above
named gentleman as a candidate
for re-election to the office of Tax
Assessor of Woodruff county, sub
ject to the action of the Democratic
party, appears in the proper place
in this paper today.
Mr. Fakes needs no introduction
to the voters of this county but we
will say in the gentleman’s be
half that he is a strictly temper
ate young man of pleasant address
and is held in high esteem by his
home people, who regard him as
the strongest in the race.
Mr. Fakes was born and reared
in Woodruff county, near this city,
secured his education in our pub
lic schools and the State Universi
ty, and is in every way thoroughly
competent and qualified to fill the
duties of this responsible office.
His record in the office of Assessor,
wnich he now holds, is a strong
recommendation for the re-election
wjiich he now asks at the hands of
the voters.
Mr. Fakes, without a doubt dis
charged the duties of the Assessor’s
office in making this year’s assess
ment, to the satisfaction of all,
(except a small few who try to
avoid paying their portion of the
taxes, who we suppose will be the
only ones to oppose him.)
In conclusion we will say that
Mr. Fakes is not, and has never
been, connected with any clique or
clan and is more than worthy of a
second term as Assessor should,
the people of the county elect him.
We leave his candidacy to the
voters for consideration.
