To tile Voters of anderson County:
Owing to an attempt by some one to
murder me at my home on the night Of
August 4th, about 1.3O m., the shock
has been so great upon my family I find
that at present it is impossible for me to
attend the campaign meetings, which I
had hoped to attend, and meet the voters
of Anderson County. hope my friends
throughout the County will consider my
case, and realizing the situation that
owe my first duty to my family, remem-
Der me on the day of election, aud If they
consider me their choice kindly cast their
ballots accordingly. Hoping that no one
will ever be called upon to go through
tbs same that have experienced, I ask
the prayers Of all people to unite with
me that the guilty party may yet be
brought to Justice, and that he share the
fate that so Justly awaits him. With best
wishes for all, remain,
Very respectfully,

JOHN K. HOOD, ESQ.

No better example Of young man who
has made name for himself in this city
can be found than that of Mr.. John Z.
Hood, who, on last Monday, was elected
to serve the city of Anderson as Mayor
for the next two years.
Mr.. Hood was born at Due West, S. c.,
and is son of Prof. VIM. Hood. who is
we'll known throughout this State as
distinguished teacher. He spent the
early part Of his life attending the COM
mon schools and later entered Erskine
College at Due West, from which be
graduated in 1887. he afterwards taught
school for awhile, end then studied law
in the Office of Messrs. Parker d Nc
Gowan, at Abbeville. In December,
1890, he was admitted to the bar, after
having passed most oreditable exami-
nation before the Supreme Court OF South
Carolina. In January following he came
to Anderson to make his home and began
the practice of his chosen profession.
He was comparative stranger, but by
his modest, genial disposition. gentle
manly bearing and upright character he
he made friend os every acquaintance,
and is to-day one Of our most popular
young men. He has served several
terms as Clerk and Treasurer Of the city
OF Anderson, and was a model and efti-
cient officer.
In January, 1895, Mr.. Hood formed q
eopartnership with Col. r. w. Simpson,
under the firm name of Simpson & Hood,
which firm still exists and receives a
largo share of the practice at the Ander-
son bar. He is close student and has q
bright future before him in the line of
his chosen calling.
Mr.. Hood has unlimited confidence in
Anderson's pluck and progressiv veness,
and is always ready to take hand in
anything that will advance the business
interests OF the city. HSwill discharge
the duties Of the Office Of Mayor faithfully
and conscientiously, and when his term
of office expires the citizens Of Anderson
can truly say, "Well done, thou good
and faithful servant"
