A Gard.

Mr. Editor: In the present county
campaign so many candidates are ofler-
mg for nomination to some of the Offices
that many voters find il difficult to de-
eide whom to vote for. Especially is
this true with reference to the Office of
County superintendent of Education.
Now, we believe that every candidate
Tor this Office is high-tOncd gentleman;
that any one of them would discharge
the duties of the Office To the best of his
ability. But moral character and a high
sense of duty, although Indispensable.
viii not alone build up the scr ools of
Lancaster county. Many of us are
anxious to see our schools the equal of
those iii the other counties of the State.
TO this task of upbuilding our schools
must be brought both boundless energy
and Keen intellect Patriotism and
county pride demand that regardless
OF friendship, kinship or local ties, we
place in the superintendent Office that
man who is most capable of building
up our schools.
Inc young, energetic and eloquent
Claud n. Sapp possesses, not only the
moral qualifications, but also the energy
and intelligence necessary for the per-
formance OF this difficult task. Having
attended the schools of this county un-
I'll ne entered college and also having
taught three years in these same schools,
he is familiar with their conditions: hav-
ing but recently graduated from college.
he is in close touch with the best
thought of today along educational lines
and therefore knows what steps are
necessary for the speedy Improvement
of our schools, That he is energetic is
proven by the fact that he worked his
way through college; that he possesses
a keen intellect has been shown by his
speeches during and before this cam
paign.
Without his knowledge or consent,
we who have known him all his life
take this method of expressing our con-
fdence in him as a man and in his
ability and of bespeaking the thought

voter next Tuesday, August the 18th.

Born in Columbia, educated in the

the practice of the law in Charleston.
He met with success from the first.
Particularly attentive To commercial
law, he soon became interested in buSi-
ness enterprise and development. The
rehabilitation of an impaired bank
having come into his field of effort he
devoted himself To the task with marked
ability and eminent success. and from
this essay he was led into banking as a
profession. He became the head of one
of the strongest banks in the state, and
he has, for more than ten years, direct
ed It's affairs not only profitably to the
institution but in the largest measure
To the benefit of his community and of
the entire state.
Elected an alderman of the city of
Charleston, he soon became recognized
as an exponent of business methods in
government and an advocate of com
merciaI development. He was cglled
to the mayoralty practically by the
unanimous voice of the business men
OF Charleston and, at the conclusion of
his four-year term, was reelected with
out opposition. He has devoted him
self to the promotion of better relations
between the people of Charleston and
their ncighbors in all parts of South
Carolina, and has cndcavored in every
way To make mutual the ad vantages

this kind would pail. At any rate
the old home days could be appoint

distinctive Green mountain holiday,
and are the people so soon to tire of
