Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, August 2, 1906
  As heretofore announced, Mr. Purifoy is a candidate for Representative from
Wilcox County in the Legislature of Alabama, subject to the action of the
Democratic Party. He is a native of this county and his academic and
professional education was obtained in the schools of Snow Hill and Camden, and
in the University of Alabama. He is a son of Judge John Purifoy, who was
Probate Judge 1880-1886, and a member of the Legislature 1890-1891 from this 
county; who was also State Auditor 1892-1896 and State Examiner of Accounts
1897-1901.
  Young Mr. Purifoy is not without experience in public affairs himself. He has
had experience in the offices of the State Auditor and of the State Treasurer.
For two years he was Secretary to the President and of the Board of Trustees of
the University. In the session of 1900-01, he was clerk of the House Committee
on Corporations in the Legislature. He has given considerable attention to
accounting, and, besides miscellaneous expert accounting, he was employed two
years by Birmingham Trust & Savings Company as an auditor and accountant. This
is a valuable experience in passing laws on the financial interests of the
State, and, if elected, he will do whatever he can to advance the material and
moral interests of the people of the State and county.
