A Card.

To the Democratic Voters Of the
Third Judicial District of Lexington
county:
After mature deliberation, believ-
ing as I do in rotation and change in
Office, and after consulting my busi-
ness interests and my physical well
fare, and further, on account of the
condition Of the health of my family,
which would make it impossible for
me to do myself justice in attending
TIE campaign meetings, I have de-
cided against the solicitation of my
kind and ursel6sh friends to with
draw from the race for Magistrate.
I take this opportunity to publicly
extend my most lasting and sincere
thanks to all of those who have here
tofore given me their suffrage, of
which I have made it my most con-
stant aim to prove worthy, and to
those who did not give me their sup
port I have only the kindest feelings,
and likewise do extend my deepest
tharks to all those who had already
thus early signifed their purpose of
continuing to give me their support.
I withdraw in favor of no one, and
believe that all of my opponents are
competent and worthy.
Very respectfully,
O B Addy.
Leesville, S G., July II, 1900.

She was the widow of the late Basil
Hartley and was about rs years OF
age. Hers had been long and use
full life Her untiripg industry, de-
votion to family and strict integrity
was prominent throughout her life.
She leaves eight children, all grown
Her daughters in every station IN
life they have been called upon to
fill have exemplifed the teaching
that was given them from their IN
fancy and are noble and energetic
women. Her sons are among the
most prominent business men in our
community, their integrity is beyond
question and each OF them have been
remarkably successful in what ever
they engage.
Mrs. Hartley's maiden name was
Eagan and her father came to
America from Ireland about a CEN
L
tury ago, and it is not unreasonable
to suppose that he might have been OF
distinguished family that has given
to the world the Irish 'Patrlot.
"Patrick Eagsn," whose love OF
liberty is known wherever the Sham
rock is worn by the sons Of men.
Mrs. Hartley's funeral at the
Baptist church by her Pastor, Rev.
DIR. A. G. Wilkins, was largely at

On July, the 18Th, about 6 p. n,

and Doctor thought; be relapsed on
the day before his death and his
spirit soon took it's flight from this

Mrs. W. ". Long has been con.
fined to her room for several days.
We trust to see her out again soon.
There have been not long since, q
great deal of talk among the mail

ing the Post Office department for
daily mail.
We hope that the people will take
an interest in this matter, as we feel
sure that it would prove a great
benefit to our country and increase
the mail facilities wonderfully.
The crops in the this section are
