All must acknowledge that the re-

result in importation of millions of
dollars worth of foreign made goods
for which millions of American
money would be sent to Europe.

may use the goods made by Ameri-

the money be kept in this country

a Card.

To my fellow citizens of Lexington
County:
I beg to say that on account of the
canvass of the State, which I have
to make for Comptroller General, I
cannot canvass Lexington county,
however much, I would like to meet
and mingle with you, and thanking
you for the support which you have
given me in the past. beg that all
prejudice shall be laid aside and that
you will consider the record I have
made as School Commissioner of the
county and as a member Of the
House of Representatives and also
as member of the Senate. I have
done the best I could for you and
have faithfully served the Democratic
party OF my county and State for
twenty odd years, and while I conf
IDENTIFY expect to be elected, T expect
to retain my citizenship in the county
of my birth, and my absence will
be temporary. During my public
experience I am gratifed to know
that I have made many warm friends
and higher still, I have the proud
conscientiousness that I have dis
charged my duty without courting
the plsudits of my friends or fearing
the criticisms of my enemies, and
when I am elected Comptroller Gen.
eral of the proud State OF South
Carolina, I will discharge the duties
of this responsible Office with fair
ness to all the people of my State.
I take it that other things being
equal that every citizen of the county,
who has any county pride will give
me hearty support.
In my public experience I might
have made mistakes, but I have done
the best I could and have always
acted from what I believed to be for
the best interest of the whole people.
Trusting that my fellow citizens will
excuse me for not canvassing the
county and will on the 26th day of
August give me liberal support and
again thanking you, I am
Very truly,
