Alex McGregor for Sheriff
The attention of our readers is
called this week to the authorized
announcement of our friend, Mr.
Alex McGregor, of Cotton Plant,
who is a candidate for the office
of sheriff and collector of Wood
ruff county, subject to the action
of the Democratic primary,
March 29.
Mr. McGregor, as our readers
know, made the race for sheriff
two years ago and it was only by
the small majority of four votes
that he was defeated. When the
committee met at Augusta and
made the count, a number of
friends urged him to protest the
election but he would not hear
to such for one moment and took
his defeat like a gentleman, feel- j
ing no ill will against anyone.
Although he is classed by some
as being one of Woodruff Coun
ty’s wealthiest citizens, there is
not within her borders a man
more popular with the poor man,
whether he be farmer, section
hand, clerk, or common laborer,
than Alex McCregor. His riches
have been acquired honestly and
by attending strictly to business
he has managed to add to them
all the while. He has treated
the most humble with every due ,
courtesy and we doubt if there |
is a man living who has ever had
any business dealings with this
gentleman who is n)t his friend.
The subject of this sketch is
one of our county’s most popular j
and worthy young men, enjoying,
the friendship and esteem of not (
only his many fellow townsmen,
but the entire citizenship of
Woodruff county. He is a suc
cessful and reliable farmer and a
substantial spoke in the wheel of
progress in his home town. His
people are for him is this race
and with the vote which they
hope to see him get in other
parts of the county, they feel
confident of his being the next
sheriff.
As to his being competent and
thoroughly qualified for the
place, not even his opponent’s
friends will question. He is
young, able, attentive to busi
ness,, true and loyal to all nis
friends, and once you have met
him you can’t help but like him.
He has never held a public
office and asks the voters to
honor him with the office of
sheriff and, if elected, he prom
ises to attend to the duties of
the same faithfully, honestly and
courteously, showing favor to no
one, whether it be friend or foe.
He promises to give the office
his very best personal attentibn
and states that if he does not do
so, he will not ask the voters to
place the office in his care for
another term.
Being a product of Woodruff
county and one in which every
one can feel proud, possessing as
a citizen a name that is untar
nished and a record that is unde
filed, we feel no misgivings, but
deem it a pleasure and an honor
to recommend to the voters of
Woodruff County the promising
candidacy of one of her most ex
traordinary men, Mr. Alex Mc
Gregor, and we sincerely hope
that before you cast your ballot
for one to fill this important of
fice within your gift that you
please kindly remember the sub
ject of this sketch, Alex C.
McGregor.
