 ''To the Democrats of Chiffon County:
 "Inasmuch as many of my friends have suggested that I apply for ep- pointment as Sheriff of Chiffon County, and as 1t has come to my knowledge plying for the appointment. have re- trained from doing so until my posi- ton should be made known, I deem 1t proper to make a statement
 After fully considering the mat ter. in connection with the fact that I have made a change in my personal affairs. and have entered into con- tracts which will not terminate for several months, and which, if per- formed, will require my absence from the county,I have decided not to apply for the appointment.
 T shall always feel grateful to my friends for their very kind offers of support, and hope to have the oppor- tunity to in some measure. at least, re- turn their kindness.
 TT. '. Traywick"
