Mr.. EDITOR: There are times
when words are wholly inadequate
to express tie feelings. I find my
self in that condition now. The
universal expression of confidence
in me by the voters of Edgefeld
county in placing me, the young
est man in the race, at the head of
the ticket for the Legislature, in
face of the fact that eight other
worthy men were my competitors,
touches my heart very deeply, and
1 take this occasion to say that my
heart goes out i'll its fullness with
gratitude to the good people of
Edgefeld county for their express
sion of esteem. By the help of
God 1 trast that / may prove
worthy of this confidence, and by
no act of mine shall the interest
and welfare of the people be in
tentionally jeopardised or betray-
ed. Gratefully yours,

helped to put me in the lead in the
race for State Superintendent OF
Education. I wish to assure them
of my appreciation of their conh-
dence and of my purpose to merit
it. The earnest and unselfsh sup
port which the people of the State
have given me, touches my heart
and intensifes my desire to serve
them worthily.
L shall be grateful to all who
may aid me in the second primary,
it matters not how they voted IN
the first. Having been an educa-
tor rather than a politician, | was
unknown to many who yet may
learn that I am the kind of man
they want for the work of super
intending the school system of the
State. I urge my friends and we'll
wishers to go to the polls on the
18th, and vote and work for me. l
have promised that my election
shall mean better schools in South
Carolina. If I fail to fulfill my
promise, I shall be worse disap-
pointed than those that have sup
ported me; for I recognize that
success in the work that have
outlined for myself will earn me
the love and gratitude of my fellow
citizens. Respectfully,
JOHN J. McMAHAN.

kindnesses and many courtesies
extended to me during the recent

support of all those who voted for

To THE PUBLIC: Although de-
feated, I desire to return my sim
cere thanks to those of my friends
who saw fit to honor me with their
votes in the recent election. l
went before the people and made
straightforward, and, I trust,
manly fight. No man in tie county
can truthfully say that I said nor
did anything inconsistent with
truth, honor, and right dealing, to
promote my interest. Having, if
not in an acceptable manner, GER
tainly with fidelity, and to the full
est extent of my ability, in part
represented this county in the
legislature just passed, it was my
hope, and I may say, expectation
to be given another opportunity to
stand for my people, and show if
there was worth in me. The people,
however, have decreed otherwise,
and to their decision I cheerfully
and calmly submit. To those who
opposed me I have the kindest
feelings. A majority of our peo-
pie have said by their votes that
others than myself could best rep
resent their interest in the legisla-
tive halls, and to the peoples will
I yield. To him who has cen,
and to those who will be, nomi-
mated, I tender my best wishes,
and beg that they may have the
hearty cooperation of our entire
people in all their undertakings.
Respectfully,
