A Letter.

FLORENCE, S G, Aug. Il, 1908.
To the Democratic Voters OF
Williamsburg, Florence and
Clarendon:
l am addressing this letter to
you to say that, as a candidate
for the United States Senate, l
will appreciate your support
in the primary of August 25,
also in the second primary two
weeks later, for l feel sure of
leading the ticket in the first.
AS nearly all of you know, l was
raised on farm near Lynch
burg, S c., am now and have
been q cotton planter from early
manhood.
Four years ago l began to
study the cause why the cotton
planters couldn't get falr price
for his crop. | gradually drift
ted into the fight for higher
priced cotton, finally throwing
my whole time aud force into
Hhis movement, which brought
drought about the Southern
Cotton Association and the
Farmers Union.
We have had success, as you
realize, for when comparing the
average cotton price for the past
tour years, with the average for
the preceding four years, the
record shows.
The situation now is this
the trouble lies in Washington
and New York. Certain legis-

lation should be enacted and
certain other laws repealed.
We must break up gambling in
futures and compel sale and
delivery of real cotton. We
must change the operations of
the Agricultural Department,
at Washington, which collects
statistics as to acreage, condi-
ton and bales ginned, but fails
to collect for the grower sta
tistics as to the number of bales
in the ware houses and cotton
mills.
There are many other things
needed from the standpoint Of
legislation. | want to carry on
the fight l have been making
for the past four years. As d
Senator | have more influence
and can be of more service If you
think that |, reared on the banks
of Lvnch's river, neighbor and
friend to you all, can be of ser
vice to you in the Senate, lshall
appreciate your vote. Cotton is
the gold, the silver and the green
backs of your community. The
value of your cotton crop is
greater than that OF your tobac-
co, and it is cotton alone that
determines the years profit.
The prosperity OF the cotton
planter is vital to the merchant.
Again, if you deem it more to
your interest to support me, |
assure you that your trust will
be placed in one who shall strive
to be worthy. | shall be glad
for a personal letter addressed
to me at Florence.
Yours very truly,
Z. d. SMITH.

THE RECORD is the best adver-
tisement for Williamsburg and
Kingstree that they have ever had.
The RECORD goes to every coun-
tv in South Carolina and to
nearly half the States in the
Union besides, and a county is
"sized up by strangers largely
by the paper issued from the
county seat.
