I. R. HOSKiNS
SEEKS SHERIFFS
POST
I K. "Nig" Hoskins has author-
ised the Advertiser to announce
his candidacy for the office of
Sheuff of Bastrop County, subject
to the Democratic Primary in
July. He was a candidate for this
Mime office last election year and
was defeated by only 20.'t votes,
polling 2117 to his opponent's
£120. Since there were ov< r two
thousand voters in Ba.-trop County
who waited Mr. Hoskins in office
last election, und who are still
giving him a great deal of en-
couragement and urging him to
run for the office, he feels that
he cannot "let them down" and
if over 2,000 still want him to be
Sheriff, he will give them the op-
portunity of going to the polls
and saying o again.
"So many people are urging me
to run again," Mr Hoskins says,
"that I feci I have gained votes
all over the county, and if so, I
will be elected."
Nearly everyone in this com-
munity knows "Nig" but for the
benefit of any new comers, a
brief word of his experience and
qualifications include: He is a
native of Bastrop County, grad-
uated from Smithville High School
is married and has four children.
He served as a Deputy Sheriff in
Fort Bend County for six years
and also worked with the Texas
Ranger force on a number of oc-
casiens.
One of his friends wa- heard
to remark, "Nig" doesn't need a
write-up, just toll the people he
is going t run again. That's all
that' necessary/'
Hoskins is sincere in his desire
to he of st rvice to the citizens of
d'astrop County, and if the people
M e fit to elect him their Sheriff,
he will be ready and willing to
erve them honestly ami faith-
fully whenever called upon, day or
night He will appreciate y ur
vott and support.

ENFORCEMENT OF
TRAFFIC LAWS
NECESSARY
Because of the fact that traffic
has increased so much and with
the rebuilding of Camp Swift be-
coming a possibility, it will likely
increase considerably more, it
has been neee-sary for the city
« f change the parking methods
on Main Street, and to undertake
to enforce parking and traffic re-
gulations, according to J. S. Mil-
ton, city marshal.
Such laws nre made for the
safety and convenience of all con-
cerned. and citizens are urged to
coop* rate in helping to enforce
them.
The change in the parking re-
gulation-' was made to the effect
that "All vehicles parked on Main
Street, in the business see t ion.
shall he parked within the desig-
nated white lines, ,-it a thirty
degree angle, not more than 24
inches from the <\i ting curb line,
ami unless in case of emergency,
or to allow another vehicle or
pedestrian to cross its path, no
vehicle shall stop or stand in said
public street, or he left unattend-
ed"
An investment in the public
schools is an investment in Demo-
cracy.

TROY BRANYON
WINS FIRST IN
PICTURE CONTEST
Texas Public Schools Week will
be observed in Bastrop from March
2 through March 8, during which
time local citizens are urged to
plan to visit the public schools,
activities of the schools, to learn
, something of what teachers as
well as students are doing, and
to see the actual progress that
is being made in fields of edu-
; cation today.
Education is
! first cave man
| teachers. They
I young in the
nothing new. The
and woman were
instructed their
use of the spear,
the club, and the snare.
Classical education evolved in
the nations of Ancient Greece. It
survived the centuries of the
Dark Ages, and was horn again in
the colonies that became the
founding states of the United
States.
It was iri these colonies that the
principle of free, democratic public
school education was established.
From this start has developed the
great educational system that
exists and flourishes in this na-
tion today—the nation that is the
world's greatest Democracy.
This principle of free public
school education was first recog-
nized by the General Court o? the
Massachusetts Colony in 1642.
The Court declared that each
community should provide tea-
chers for the children. From this
grew the public school system of
the nation. Historians say:
"The education of the masses
through these schools which were
public schools has been the bul-
wark of the liberties of the people
and the national freedom of the
country."
They have protected and nur-
tured the public school system,
without which Democracy will
wither and die, for it cannot live
without learning the knowledge
, by its citizens.
