TO THE VOTERS OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY. There is a false report being cir dulated over this County, that I was brought out by T. W. Ruff and if elected I would take over the road which the Southern Power Company has built in this county, as an~in ducement to me to make the -race The Soutpern Power Company had made me a' present of an automobile and was paying my campaign ex penses. This is absolutely false and without foundation. T. W. Ruff nor any one connected with the Southern Power Company had anything to do with my enteritig this race, nor has Iever said a word to me about this roal. I enteredl this race clean, on iny own manl and expect to make a clean race to a finish. My record is be fore the voters of this county and all I ask is a square deal, which I feel sure you will give me on the 12 of this month.

I am mak- r under such circumstances attempt ing this statement in sifple justice bcth to yourself and to the Power Company as the Company will not to use any influence for or against any candidate for any office. Yours very truly, T. W. Ruff. U PHOTOGRAPHS WITHOUT NEGATIVES. A special sensitized photographic paper, which fits any camera without special attachment, makes it possible to print pictures directly on the paper as the shutter of the camera opens and closes. When the sensitized pa per which is ready for development as soon as the exposure is made, is placed in developer for- about two minutes the image appears. After blanchite solution turns the paper atU creamy yellow it is washed for 15 seconds. All this is done in a dark room, but the remainder of the de veloping process is done in a bright light. A positive image is produced by seepitone after the sheet has been thoroughly washed for one minute in a clearing solution. The paper is then dried. Both enlargements and duplicates are made from the original by reflected light. This process of photography is said to be both speedy and inexpensive.
