To The Citizens Of Madison County Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to announce myself as a Candidate for the office of Sheriff for a second term, subject tc your approval at a primary to be held on June 7th. In making this announcement, I Wish 4epresrt& thct&iizonsinf, Madison County, my appreciation for their hearty co-operation i n aiding me in the discharge of my duty during my term as sheriff of Madison Ceuntyi A Crime cannot be suppressed, the law enforced, the homes, schools, and churches pro tected, .without the assistance of the Citizenship of the County. It has been the Custom, that an officer have a second term if his record merits ii T h e common sense and reason for this is. that a man can ' work more effectively and make a more efficient officer, because of his knowledge, of condi tions and the needs of the people, gathered from his past two years of service. . I have sincerely tried to faithfully discharge the trust placed in me and have without f Ivor to any, executed the duties of my office. I may not be able to see all of you personally to solicit your support, on account of the duties of the of fice which must be attended to. If therefore, you think my record as Sheriff has been what it ought to be, I most respectfully ask your support at the primary and your continued aid and assistance, in or der that we may hold for Madiaon the recflrd she now has, of being the driest County in the State. .." ' Respectfully, R R. RAMSEY. Mr.R.M. Gahagan, of Belva, sent last week to tne Chairman ijnear East Relief, hfs check tor $5.00 for the 12 orphans, .which 1 Madison County is allotted to care for. Madison County is expected to contribute this year $720. Wil others show by sending in contrir buttons that they have the spirit i our Lord said it was necessary to have, to witness for him. At least 500 citizens of Madison County ought to eend in at once $5 00ea, h for this cause humanity. of suffering Attendance at Mars Its History; Oyer Five Hun dred in the Classes. Following are advance . para graphs from the April Issue of the Mars Hill Quarterly: The total enrollment for the year exclusive of the summer school is 512, the highest attend ance record ever reached at Mars Hill or at any other private school in Western North Carolina. These students came from 66 counties in this State, from 11 other States New Jersey, Vir ginia, South Carolina, Georgia, FloridaN Alabama Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Ind iana, and New York and from thr e foreign countries -Cuba,-China, and Brazil. Three enroll ed from the District of Columbia. The Summer Sclx.ol of seven weeks will open on Wednesday, May 7th. SeveralJunior College subjects will be offered, and prac tically all hidh school subjects or which there is a sufficient de mand. During this term one may add one unit to his high school credit or a maximum of three hours of college work. Only students of serious purpose are esired. ProffessorStringfield is Director of the Summer Session. The outstanding feature of the year is of course the building pro gram made possible by the graci ous offer of Mr. Treat. His .ft" the largest single gift made to Baptist school in this State dur ing the year and one rarely sur passed lfe'l tWyearflv'A giftw considerable size from this same benefactor made it possible to take care of the largest number of ministerial students ever en rolled here. There have been high tides of interest in B. Y. P. U. work, in the study of books on a. s. metneas ana manage ment, in preparation for doing Vocational Bible School work. The number of students in the unior College has passed expec tations. and oe must again speak in superlatives in making reference to the spiritual lone and fine ideals and holy ambitions of the student body as a whole The unsealed heights beckon. Up and on! The first bequest Mars Hill ever received was one of $100 from.Mrs. Mary G. Hudgins of Marshall, N. C It meant more to the school than the sum would suggest to those who . are accus tomed to present values. Last year the school received $600 from the estate of Mr, M. M. Stewart of Henderson County 1 The late James Merrell provided $1,000 in his will for Mars Hill along with a like sum to the Ox ford and Thomasville Orphanag s. This sum will be available before the close of the year And our present endowment of $25,- 000 is a monument to the wisdom of W. J. Slayden in providing $5, -000 in his will for this purpose. The will of the late J. B. Bridges was probated at Newton last ,.M ay and provides that his entire estate valued at some $20,000 will come to Mars Hill at the death of his wife. It is known that two oth ers have remembered the College i n i their wills. Many others nhould follow the examples of these. Whether the sum is small or larze. PUT MARS HILL IN YOUR WILL. Several of our teachers will do work daring the spring and sum mer toward higher degrees. Pro Hill is Highest in fessors Elliot and Carr ae being released from their classes the last of March so that they may get in the full fourth quarter at the University of N. C. Misses Downej and Bracket will study in northern universities during the summer, and Miss Howell will spend some weeks iu Spain getttng a first hand acquaintance with the people and the lang uage. , Messrs. J. J. Slaltery and Oren E. Roberts, teachers in the Cul lege, have given days and nights in an effort to break up the whis key buisness in and around Mars Hill which appeared early in the year in a little worse form than is usual in the-e parts They se cured evidence which led to the conviction of some; others Med to jnknown parts; and the results of their courage and unselfish ef forts will tell for good for a long time yet. They deserve,, and have the appreciation of all goed citizens.' 97 Tuberculosis Clinics Held Instate By N..C Tuber culosis Association 10,000 Examinations Made. Over Eleven Per Cent Found Positive.
