Political clash in Pocahontas and tax talk dominate
The Pocahontas conventions sparked a fierce fight over county chairman and judicial delegate picks, pitting J. H. McMichael against Thos. J. Raynes with Geo. W. Day as a dark horse.

It also critiques sales tax and old age assistance financing as debated, framing the tax as a consumer duty and praising the program’s Christian basis.
