Bolt Breakes the Record.

Why John f. Bolt received 2,05l
votes in the recent primary, the larg-
est vote ever given to one man I'm tho
county, is not fully explained. Some
say he Jest natally has winin' ways,
others that n great many people are
badly fooled and still others remem-
her that an ADVERTISER man took
him uut into the county and showed
nim around last summer. AT all events
nobody ran against him and the way
the toys swarmcd to him everywhere,
giving him the finest vote ever given
Il Laurcns man by Laurens men proves
that all who didn't run for Clerk have
nothing TO kick themselves about. In
this year OF grace Major Bolt (he's pro-
noted to that rank since last Tuesday,
could have beaten any half dozen men
in the county and there's not even a
man in Edgefield who could have come
to Lsurcns and bothered him. After
ALL Major Bolt has made a mighty
good clerk and maybe that's why
everybody wanted four more years OF
him.
