clerk for Hunt, Hunt e Hunter, of
Newberry, 8. c., one of the leading
law firms Of South Carolina, and
have served as Court Stenographer
Of the Tenth Judicial Circuit for six
years since completing my law

important cases after leaving the
Court room, thereby becoming famil-
lar, with every phase OF the law. |

preparing most all of the indictments
as we'll as getting up the testimony,
and l am perfectly familiar with the
duties of the Solicitors office. If I

court of justice, no matter what his
station in life may be.
NJ. c. LONG,
Candidate for Solicitor.
A Self-Made Man.
Johnston, s. c., March 81, 19OS.-
Editor Of the Anderson Intelligencer,
Anderson, S. c.: Dear Mr.. Editor
We have been informed that Court
Stenographer M. G. Long will be In
the race for Solicitor OF the Tenth
judicial Circuit this summer and we,
the undersigned citizens Of Johnston,
S. c., the boyhood home Of NJ. G..
Long, wish to say what we know of
him personally.
Mr.. Long was born and reared on
a farm four miles from Johnston.
His father, j. M. Long, was murder
ed by negro when he was In his
fifteenth year, leaving a widow and
two orphan children, the step
mother, half brother and half sister
of Nj. G. Long, the children then be-
ing four and six years of age. After
the debts of j. M. Long were paid,
even his home was sold from under
his widow and children, leaving only
one horse to them. M. G. Long, then
a boy, took that one horse, rented
land, gave liens on his crops and,
with the aid Of his brother, sup
ported his step-mother and her chill
dren for four years until she married
again, and then he took his half sis
ter and half brother to support and
educate, and gave the last one a col
lege education in May, 1907.
We know nothing of Mr.. Longs
ability as lawyer, he having been
admitted to the bar after leaving
here, but think his past history will
bear us out In saying he is man
who will stand for the right princi-
pie in all things, and If elected, we
feel sure your circuit will be in safe
hands. Yours very truly
