HOT SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL
CLOSED LAST MONDAY
I EXERCISES HIGHLY PLEASING
TO THOSE WHO ATTENDED
The pubhc school at Hot Snriners
came to a close last Monday evening
witn a contest in six readings by girls
and three declamations by boys. The
program began -with a Japanese Fan
unil by the huch school eirls which
showed splendid training and provod
to be very entertaining and pretty.
Following this an instrumental duet
by Miss Alene Burein and her mother
cv.is rendered which was not on the
printed program. With that excep
tion tne program was carried out as
ptinted below: The double- duet by
FOR COUNTY
COMMISSIONER
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I hereby announce myself
a candidate for the office of
County Commissioner, sub
ject to the action of the Re
publican Primary of June 5,
1926.
r GARRETT BUCKNER
will say 1st, I am opposed to all un
fair and extravagant expenditure of .
the taxpayers' money for local and
special purposes.
2nd. I am opposed, to having un
necessary county officers.
3rd. I am opposed to raising sal
aries of any county officers.
4th. 'There is no political ring nor
clique, with an" ax to grind, and desir
ing special legislation urging me to
offer myself as a candidate.
5th. I am appealing directly to the
people who feel heavy burdens as a
result of how things have gone in
the past. I feel that the taxpayers
need a "breathing spell."
, 6th. I am a full-fledgred Republi
can and always have been.
' 7th. I will favor no action to cut
off any part of Madison to Buncombe
County.
8th. I stand for general county
taxes to be used for the general coun
ty good, and for local benefits to be
financed by local taxation.
0th. I favor good roads and good
schools. I will use all my influence to
get State aid for better roads or bet
ter schools for Madison County. I
am progressive but favor a sane, sen
sible progress. I do not favor a
"Florida land boom" type or wrecking
type of progress. I favor a progress
that our taxpayers can stand. Let's
progress as we can stand it. '
r I trust that each candidate will
refrain, as you suggested, from mud
slinging. Accusations that someone
has lied do not ever establish a truth
and aren't conducive to good political
feeling. My- opponent is known by
the people. If he is the people's
choice, he is mine also. I am coming
clean with people in regard to my
platform. I have no trick up my
sleeve. I hope the people wiu not be
influenced by last minute reports mat
may be circulated.
Thanking you again for your kind
ness, 1 am
