Mr. VIellon was then secretary of the treasury. Did either the president or Mr. Mellon say anything about balancing the budget or cutting expenses then? Did they come before the people of the country asking for a reduction in national expenditure* > No ^hey did not. All during July. August.

Then, Came Here Last Year From Valdosta. A search is being made in Shel t»y and this section tor a Georgia girl who was taken away from her home near Valdosta last year and who was later brought to this city. County Solicitor W. Speight Beam has received a letter from Solicitor General G. C. Spurlin, of Valdosta, Os., asking that officials here try and locate the girl. In Georgia, the letter informs, it is a crime of kidnapping to take a girl under 18 years out of the State without the consent of her parents. This girl, a Miss Buck halter, daughter of Charlie Buck halter. is alleged to have been tak en from Georgia by two men One of the two has since died and the .other is now said to be in jail there awaiting trial on a kidnapping charge. It ts known, the Georgia solicitor general writes, that she lived in Shelby for a time, on North LaFavette street. It is hoped to lo cate her whereabouts in order tc get her back to Georgia for the kid napping trial. A description of the girl was not given but a photograph of her was sent along. This photograph shows her to be a brunette, about 19. who wears glasses. Anyone who may know of her whereabouts is urged I to get in touch with Solicitor Beam A Move Of Cline Muddles Fight In Board Race Seven Now Seeking Three Offices Om* Or Two ('ai.'llidnte* Wfrr On tering Attack Oti Auditor And Ills Office.

There are now seven announced candidates for the three offices and more may enter. For more than a week this contest has centered more interest than any other and the campaign was warming up to a considerable extent. But the Cline statement, annihilated some of the thunder that was being used open ly and behind the scenes in the Making An Issue, One or two of the candidates were making an issue, judging by frequent reports, of the auditor and his office. At least one of the can didates for commissioner, and per haps two. had been it Is said gun ning for Mr. Cline. Strict handling of the office of auditor is a job if divorced from politics and pull that makes It difficult to run without making enemies.
