"I think Lee is correct," said the sheriff. "He tells me we are cousins. He was evidently named after a Swords family and I do not know of any other family by that name. We camle from Georgia, and I have no doubt he has traced it out cor rectly." Sheriff Swords met political friends at the Casmopolitan Sat urday, too. He admits he has secured some new stationery at the top of which is printed: "I am opposed to rotation in office." He believes a constitutional con vention may bring on the pro hibition issue, "but perhaps it had as well come now as any time," he added.
