FINE RECORD That Washington ia a healthy town and becoming more so every ' year, la substantiated by the folx lowing statistics, as furnished the > Daily News by City Clerk. WllliI am C. Ayers, from the records as kept by him. During the month of July 1911 the clerk gave certificates for burial to twenty-two persons. During the month of July 1912, the clerk gave certificates for only four persons.

Mr. Editor: I note in your issue of July 29 the 3 strong language used by the Hon. H. S. Ward In bis call for Mr. C. P. Aycock, of Pantego, to serve the people as County Commissioner. As an Intimate personal acquaintance of lifelong standin, as an observer from boyhood of his methods of doing business, as an admirer of the tact and good Judgment. I have so often J Been displayed by him in handling difficult situations, 1 heartily second this call, knowing as I do something of the unfortunate situation. The intense factlonltsm" existing within our party. Realizing as 1 do. that no man aligned with either side can renler the county, the service demanded HO matter what hia ?ffnrto o? ? tvi_ condition totally incapacitates a mem jer of activeness available candidate. [*he singular position occupied by Mr. lycock in thla matter that of absoute neutrality, will command co-opration of all good Democrats. And t matters not who serves you, this, a an essentia) requirement if you onestly want results, otherwise it rill be impoasible for any Board of ommissioners to put the balance on < he proper aide of the ledger. Mr. Sard's conclnaions are eminently orrect when he points out the exactor duties of our next Board. His stimation of the aire of his cahdilate has not been overdrawn and it iycocfc.can be prevailed upon to take ^ . : fe* tSe JifBcult task and the Demo- ** ratic party selects him and four othr gentlemen of like calibre, It beieve that results will be obtained hat will be gratifying to those in ur organisation who are advocates f a government administered in the good old way'' where service is reuired to earn?and all settlements re effected with dollars and cents? i "taste" for the "shoveling out" ystem has to be cultivated by contact rlttb?.
