North Taxflwell, Va., Pet. 1? i?1 have been recently assured that General Avers is still u candidate f?>i the position of Collector of the Western Dis? trict, and thai his charaoteris ti<- reluctance to tjo into a scramble for the position has been construed into Indiffer? ence, and has encouraged a Bhoul of candidates to announce themselves, all.of whom most iconcede ihat the Generali by all the rules of war and politics has I ho first claim for t he place Hi- late campaign for <'otigress on a "pure ballot" platform, his splendid i.rd In public positions heretofore, his stain? less private life and Iiis acknow? ledged ability to fill "any posi? tion" in the gift of the people, all should and will he consider? ed when the question of ap p liutihoul comes up for action. Itespectifuly yours, II VKRV M* SvtYTill'. The above lei let- fro III Honorable Harry M. SnvytllO, published in last week's issue of t h e Progressive, states very clearly what the Post thinks on the subject. General Ayers could till most tiny posi? tion the President might cbhfer upon him with signal distinct? ion and ability. He made one of the most rohiakhble races for Congress ever made in the Ninth District. The good he accomplished will bear fruit for years and the moral issue of honesty in elections has tak? en lit m hold in the Ninth. Mr. Stitythe, however, is in error in saying General Avers is a irrm for the position. Some ot General's warm friends tit-Iced him if he would accept it, if it were tendered him unso? licited. He replied that it' it came lo him that way he would accept. This position should be: tendered General Avers with < >ne thing that Big Stone d'np ought to have, and that is a night policeman that stays oh duty all night, I >ur at tentiori rowdyism and disturbances of ull kinds that are continually goiilg .11 here when everybody ought to be asl'-ep This ought to stop it U to employ a nigh I pie to keep the peace at night tho same na in the day time. We hope our honorable mayor and town council will look into ibis matter, to the end that visitors I.. ..in beautiful city ?t s all help t hi' l 'ivic Pen make Pig Stone Cap the III -t and most attractive n not only in the state hut ic entire south.
