A Gard.

TO the Citizens Of Pickens County;
l notice that some friends have pre-
scnted my name to tho voters of
Pickens County in, the approaching
primary election us a candidate for
nomination and recollection to the re-
eponsible cfficc of County Commits.
sfoner If wcrc to consult my own
personal feelings, l would certainly
decline to accept, as find some of
the duties OF the Office a little per-
picking to man who desires to live
quiet christian life. But at the So
licitation of kind friends I consent to
become q candidate. If il is the will
OF the good people of this County that
should serve them again, and they
so decide at the primary and general
elections, will do so to the best OF my
ability. On the other hand, should
there he others in the field who are
considered more worthy or better
qualified TO fill the Important trust,
and 4 be loft out, shall very cheer
fully acquiesee in the choice of the
people, and give tho nominees of the
democratic party my. undivided in
taence and support in the general
election, and also assist them as far as
practicable in the discharge of. their
.frduous duties as public servants after
they are installed into Office, which ]
think is the duty of all good citizens.
Hoping to live to see our glorious old
sCarolina fully reconstructed, operat-
ing under constitution of our own
framed and ratified by true Carols
nlans, constitution which entirely
abolishes the Office of County Com
nissloners as it now exists, and also
many other unnecessary salaried Off
cces, thereby relieving our people as
far as possible of the great burden Of
taxation, to which wo have been long
subjected. am your fellow citizen

What the Marshal Of New York Says

The following Endorsement will be of interest 70
many who have not yet tested these essential aids
TO the full development Of the speed OF trotter-
BESroS's SPEED AccELERAroRs-the price OF
which has been reduced TO o. per pair or Is for

OFFICE OF PATRICK DAILY, City Marshal.
New York. June H. 1875.
WILBUR G. BENTON, Esq, Brownstown, Indiana
Dear Sir II have given your SPEED AccELER.
AToRs n thorough test, single, double, attached
them 10 the reins, 10 the saddle, overdrAw and
check-reln. In my judgment they ART the most
excellent things ever invented 10 produce speed
and comfort for horses.
Horsemeu and humsntaTlans have for years
sought 20 invent attachments for horses mouths,
the former looking principally 10 speed, the latter
seeking relief for the horse from the strain OF
checks and bits on the mouth. The AcCRLERAroRs
accomplish both, for they remove the permanent
strain OF checks and bits from the mouth and head
Of the hOrse by imparting the proper elasticity
which the horse feels Immediately, and improves II
once IN style and speed Owners Of horses, whether
trotters, roadsters, coach or business horses,
shonld use them. Any horsemsn who giyes your
ACCELERAToRs n trial will not only indorse what
Say, but recommend them 10 every one owning
horses.
Hoping you win succeed in establishing what
firmly believe to be the thing ever devised for
horses, is the wish Of one thoroughly convinced
OF their usefulness Youis truly,
PATRICK DAILY, City Marshal.
