The foot that pattered in primeval slime gave me birth.

Empires have fallen becau'^e of me.
I have turned victories into routs; I have trapped mighty
leaders and have crushed enemies.
I am without faith; and those who trust me I deceive.
Today I am fair to look upon; tomorrow a steaming bog.
I add difficulty to distance.

WHO SHALL WE ELECT FOR OUR
Tv EXT SHERIFF?
Either on.e of a half do/ccn gooii
average citizens would make a good
avi^rage Sheriff. Either one <loing the
average Vvork of the ofiice as Y.xdl as
the other.
At this critical time in the develop
ment and higher civilization of our
county, the great^’st work that our
shcriiT could and should do, is that of
standing for law and order without
fenr or favor.
A man w’ho will execute all of the
laws require<i of him by law. A man
who has the greatest desire, skiil and
nerve to make this stand.
Do not give us a man v/ho will hold
with the hare nnd run with the
hounds. '
The office routine collecting taxes
ect., is easy, give us a man who will
do the outside work enforcing all the
lav-s whieh is required by law of
evei’y good sheriff.
Let all who desire this office at the
hands o fthe citizens of Transylvania
county ‘‘speak out in meeting” so
that we can see where they stand.
