Adhering to past policy The News will keep in the middle of the road. It is the medium through which all aspirants for office may speak on the same footiug, whether they be Jew or Gentile, Democrats, Republi cans. Progressives or Prohibi tionists. The announcement fee of $5.00 is the consideration on the part of The News while its broad publicity is the returns to the candidate. We see no rea son for any one to longer with hold his announcement if his mind is made to enter the race. If you want the support of those who read The News present your claims in its columns as soon a? possible. It's a -matter of business with every aspirant. The attention of the Demo crats of Adair county is called to the announcement of Mr. Tan ner Ottley, who is a candi date for County Court Judge, subject to the action of expres sions of Democrats at the polls at the August primary. Mr. Ottley is a practicing attorney and has been for ten or twelve years, receiving his law diploma from the Law Department of the Virgina University. He also studied law under the late Jus tice John M, Harlan. Mr. Ot tley resided at Burkesville be fore coming to Columbia. At the former place he was super- intendent of The Life State Oil Company and also practiced his profession at the Bukersville bar. Mr. Ottley is a genial cour teous gentleman, possessing fine ability and is in every way quali fied for county Judge. He has an extensive acquaintance m Adair county, but before the pri mary he will canvass all the vot ing districts and will make an effort to meet all the'voters of the county, and especially those with whom he is not now per sonally known. Should he be nominated andelected, ha promi ses to. make: a faithful servant for the people The announcement of Dr. N. M. Hancock, of Cane Valley, for the Democratic nomination for County Judge, appears in the proper colum of this paper. For several yearsTmany Democrats have solicited the Doctor to ac cept the responsibility of head ing the Democratic ticket in this county, but in every campaign were disappointed. Under the pressure of many solicitous Dem ocrats and prompted by a desire to render good service to his party and his county he enters the race subject to the action of Democratic voters in the Au gust primary. Dr. Hancock is too well-known by the substan tial people of this county to need any introduction from us. He served this county as deputy clerk in early manhood and lat er, by appointment, gave two years time as'sheriff. His knowl edge of county affairs, his (splen did ability and impartial way of honest investigation point him out as a man amply able to dis charge the duties of the office he seeks in a highly creditable man ner. As a Democrat he has been consistentand unwavering, always ready and willing to aid his party by any honorable means within his power. True to par ty, courageous and faithful to party and public duty we leave his claims with the Democrats of this county. In the proper column it will be observed that Mr. S. H. Mitchell is a candidate for sheriff of Adair county, subject to the ex pression of the Democratic vot ers of said county, at the Au gust primary, 1913. Mr. Mitchell needs no introduction to the Democratic voters of this county, as he is one of the best known men in its boundary. He has served the county as jailer, mak ing a most efficient officer and has also done a great deal of rid ing for the sheriffs, hence his name i3 familiar throughout the county. There is not a doubt but he would make a very ac- ceptaDie snerirt. ne is a man of honor and courage, full of en ergy, and before the primary he expects to see every Democratic voter in Adair county, and per sonally give his reasons why he should be supported for said po sition. In another column will be found the announcement of Mr A. A. Miller, who seeks the Dem ocratic nomination for sheriff of Adair county. Born and reared in this county, interested in its welfare and possessing the qual-: ifications necessary for the posi tion he seeks. The News intro duces him to the many Dem ocrats who may not be intimate ly acquainted, as a Democrat of sterling worth, worthy of the confidence of h;s most ardent 9 Have You Paid Your Notes And Accounts Due Us? S r3K eSmCi friends. For several years he has been engaged in business in Columbia, and we all know him as strictly straight, energetic and competent. Further, no party emergency requiring mon ey or time has ever been discard ed, but active and ready to re spond at every call, he has borne j the brunt of many hard-fought battles in his precinct when the hope of personal reward was on ly a dim twinkle of a turning of the tide in the unfathomed fu ture A Democrat from princi ple, a gentleman by birth, but recognizing the uncertainty of hope and aspirations, he will con duct an honest, honorable fight for the position he seeks. Should the Democrats of this county give him the nomination he would be a strong man to go against the opposition. Should another be selected he will do his duty without murmuring as he has done in the past. By reference to our announce ment column you will find Mr.S. G. Denny seeks the Democratic commissions to. become Jailor of this county. To these vho know him he needs no indorsement but to many who have never grasped his hand we can cheerfully make j the following statement. A man of good natural ability, genial ; disposition, active and courage ous, he is well fitted for the po sition he seeks. Few, if any men, have more friends in the bonds of acquaintance, which besneak much as a gentleman who directs weli his conduct as a good citizen. As a Democrat a consistent, persistent party worker, who believes in on open honest fight, both in an out his party, he merits tho confidence and esteem of all. He authorizes us to state that he hopes to see every Democrat in this county before the August primary and trusts that the party will give him the nomination, but should events place this honor on some one else he will neither sulk nor sullen but will do his duty bv the entire ticket faithfully, hon estly and courageously.

As to the fitness of Mr. Huffaker for this important position no one will question. He has been a teacher for many years, not alone in the school room, but in every avenue that pertains to the welfare of good . citizenship. and upright living. A man of splendid natural capacity, supple mented by a liberal education nyi1 r.vnnrtn"nnrl Itt moniT ,rnovn r- uuu uiuaucucu uj mauji jfcaia vfi. arduous work in educational ad- j vancement he needs no further endorsement to those who read the News.
