While no canjiaaie ;s openly avowed -his Intention to i .ake tho race. It Is almost aosoiuieiy trtaln that there will be as many as five, and probably, six who will take tho field lor tne nonor. uews are Chief W. a Orr, Capt. W. M . Lyttle. Deputy Sherlll E. O. Johnston; Mr. W. M. Koss, of providence, and Mr. L. H. Robinson, of Providence. It is not yet certain but that the incumbent, Sheriff N. W, Wallace will not also stand for re-election, al though ns has been in harness for eight years which la the extent usu ally given to Buci an officer la point of service. - ' Messrs. Lyttle, " Robinson, J ohnston ' and Rosa have stated to a number of their friends that they would like ly make the run, although a good deal depends .upon , the way matters shape up between now and the time : of announcing themselves. Chief Orr haa kept his intentions mdre clandes tine, but his frteads do -not deny that he Is strongly considering tie proposition.- i Deputy Sheriff Johnston has Hnn Aiiant service In his position at present occupied, and his host of friends want to see nmv ta higher, believing that no other man in tha county Is more deserving of the place, or better capacitated for the job. - ;. Captain Lyttle has been superin tendent one of the county's chain gangs for a long term of years and feels that hia experience avails for the higher office. He, too, has a - large number of friends who want to see him take a shot at the position. Jt will be 5ard forChief Orr to get loose from the city's service, so effl uent is he both as chief of the Are department andalaoof ; the , police force, but the sheriffs .office; la so much beuer than either of these, or both. that ne thinks It is worth In for. Messrs. Robinson and Ross both hall from providence, an extreme end of the county, but they have occupied prominent places ' as private citizens In the past progress of the county,' and are recognised as having at heart Its best interests. They have been urged to enter the lists in the coming competitive strife, and have practi cally reached a definite conclusion in this 'regard. - !,:S,- As yet the cahdUatea for tha various other offices are In" the bud. ; Some lively tussling is anticipated for other positions, but none so far gives prom ise of holding such life and vitality as tha race for the sheriff job. Some of the lawyers favor the plan of urging Cie of their brethren of the lovsal for Lieutenant Governor, but this is still immature and altogether cha otic. There may be some under ground work going on toward this end : that has not reached the ears of the , newspaper men of the city. IT WAS A "JOKE." Young People Telephone Story of Mock Marriage as an Actual One, the statements Mada Bring Accept ed In Good Faith. ; In Friday's Observer appeared a story telephoned to the office by some young woman, assisted by others; at lae residence of Mr. W. F, i Miller shan, on the Statesvllle road, to the effect that Mr. R. U Brown and Miss Addle Newton were married there and had gon a- to the Jamestown Exposi tion. Yesterday report reached this office that the ceremony ,,-was a mock -one, performed at a parry and 'phoned in "to the paper" for a Joke, Investigation reveals that no license has been issued for any such mar-f riage. The reporter who took the message over the telephone remarked to a companion as he hung up the re ceiver that he believed u the story false, but there was no evidence to this effect 'and it was printed. A number of young people were evident ly aiding the talker at the instru ment in getting the facts"- together. Probably the "Joke" seemed funnier , that sight . than next morning, when the story was seen In the paper. : The parties to the . plan (their,, names would be published with pleasure If obtainable) evidently did not realize : that they were trifling with a very e ' rlous matter. , TO MAKE LWnOYTSrENTS. - 1 Th Standard Ice & Fuel Company to t t r Move Vp Town and Uava Covered ., Coal Storage Jloutte. v The Standard Ice ft Fuel Company Jras leased a Jot from the Southern Railway', now occupied by J.
