It was given in the hist issue as
approximutey 475.
Reid's majority was considera

cember To the criminal element of thil
city both white and black and to
the habitual offenders in nollcfl
court generally the news of Jujdge
night was the occasion for much
rejoicing.
More than once Mr. Turner re
reived an anonymous 'phone
call Tuesday night tike purpose
of which was to advise him that
his enemies were howling over
his downfall and that old offend
ers were expecting better day
nnder the regime of his succes
sor. Judge Turner's term does
not expire until December and
on the morning after the prima
ry he addressed the following re
marks to the police force:
' :i i'i.k.m y. :
"I wish to expiess my sincere
thanks to vou collectively and in-
,
dividually, or the earnest cooper
at 1011 you nave extended me since
I have been in this pomit ion."
"It would not have been possi
ble to accomplish what we have,
had it not leeii for the unity and
harmony that has existed at all
times between us."
"Last night. I am informed,
there were quite a number of peo
ple both white and colored, in va
rious parts of this city, celebra
ting the fact that I was defeated.
I'pon two different occasions, I
was called up by 'phone and told
that this town would Is- run wide
oK'ii, and that I had nothing else
to do with it. I wish to say to
you. that I will be in office until
December 1st. I ask that every
member of this Police Force as
sist me in cleaning up this com
munity before I retire. There are
dens of infamy, houses of Mil famte,
and blind tigers still here, and it
is m ysincere desire that these
Id rooted out. To that end. I am
djrvctingi your attention, and!
wish you to work ,day ami mgnt
until this city is made whole
some, clean anil safe for all. Any
service I can render you at any
time, is a pleasure, aud I stand
ready to nsslist you in any move
ment you inaugurate looking to
ward tlib enforcement of law and
the best interest of our people."
An interesting conversation ov
erheacd on the street Tuesday in
dicates the lght in which the de
feat of Judue Turner m regard
ed by vagrants and those in sym
pa thy with them. "Wnere is
Jim?" one negro asked another -
in passing. d"He is in NorfoiK
was the renlv. "When is he
coming back?" "All depends on
on election ' wan the answer,
"Long as Turner is judge he
dapu't set his foot here."
