To the voters of Sumter County:
j. McF. Spann.

10 the voters OF Sumter County:
Owing to the fact that the office OF
Auditor will be vacant and that the
citizens Of this County are to name
someone TO fill this position I hereby
announce my candidacy for the
same, subject to the rules of the
Democratic primary.
This is one of the most important
positions in the county and the fin
ancial condition of our county de-
pends largely on the safe and thor
Ough manner in which this office IS
conducted.
do not believe / exceed the
modesty that becomes us all when I
say that 1 feel assured that 1 can and
will fill the office acceptably If elect
ed.
Ny years Of experience as an ac-
countant will enable me to so conduct
the office as to prove proetab'. TO
the county and a pleasure and pride
to myself
L am before the voters solely on
my ability to fill the position and do.
not want any man to vote for me
unless he believes 7 am able to ac.
ceptably fill the place
While realize that some will vote
against me because of the following
declarations. yet the voters have a
right to know how 1 will run the
office If elected. AS to the clerical
work, I shall use the same care and
business method, that have always
used in other business. AS to re-
turns 1 wish to say that 1 will not
rest until every particle of taxable
property and every taxable poll is
on the tax list. There Is a class Of
tax dodgers that infest our country.
They come into our town and coun-
ty cross roads every fall with a
stock Of goods and come in compe-
tition with our merchants who are
taxed year by year and when the
money season is over these wander
ing merchants fold their tents and
quietly steal away, leaving the bur
dens of taxation on our land owners
If l become Auditor these same gem
tlemen will have TO walk up to the
treasurer's office and pay their part
of the tax. Another species of tax
dodgers is the man who owns no
property but should pay his poll tax.
Sumter should get five or six thous-
and dollars a year that it does not
get from this source and / promise
that IL elected j will make il hot for
MIN. Another species is the negro
tenant who owns a COW. mule and
some other personal property and he
Is continually jumping from town
snip to township and never pays one
penny Of tax. If / become Auditor
ne VIII certainly contribute his mite
towards the government.
can only say that if elected
snail use all my brain and energy
lor the best interest Of my county.
In conclusion l wish 10 say that IL
You see fit to support me / will ap-
preclate the same and strive with ALI
my might To deserve your confidence
but your first duty is to your county
and l only wish YOU to do to me as 7
always strive to do To others that is
study the matter well, weigh each
candidate and then vote for the man
whom you honestly believe is tbc
most competent
Thanking YOU for Whatever vo,
may so" lit to do for me I beg to he
Your fellow citizen.

HISS FOR DR. IRVINE
Former New Haven Minister S Rude Greeting at Debate
 on Socialism
Established 1857.

Tn the course of session held at tbe Hudson theatre, New York, Sat- urday. for the hearing of joint de- hate between the Rev. Dr. Irvine, one time pastor in New Haven and Rev pr. Thomas R. Slicer, on the topic of socialism, there was quite a sen- sation sprung, when a single, solitary hfss met MT. Irvine as he advanced 10 the front of the stage and salo ne ne vyould feel quite we'll repaid for all tha propa ganda work he had done if he could live to see all workingmen as we'll taken care of as the rich mans horse.
 The debate was conducted with ap- parent toleration by-both speakers. although pr. S1icer permitted himself to cali his opponent an apostle of in- accuracy, while MT. Irvine retorted by dubbing the clergyman an apostle of the obvious.
 Dr- slicer seemed to think that MT. Irvine had everest mated the number of children who went to school break fastless, and the latter said it didn't make any difference if he had. If only 800 were hungry it was the bus mess of society to make such conol- tions impossible.
 pr. Slicer spoke of the savings of the working classes deposited in banks and of life insurance, arguing that there was a. fair chance under the present system for every person who ia industrious and thrifty.

WOMAN WILL LIVE WITH
 PART OF BRAIN GONE

New Haven, Nov 2s-After one of comparatively few such hazardous op- erations to be performed in this city. Mrs. Frank Nuzzenholtz of Washing ton avenue is now well on the road to recovery at St. RaphaeIs hospital with a portion of her brain removed as the only cure for the peculiar mem tai disease known as aphasia. The affliction is one which destroys the victims memory. making it impossible to recall any past events and in most cases to even recall his Or her name New Ravens most sensational case of this tyne was that of the "man of mystery who remained for nearly a year at Grace hospital two years ago without being able to give his name. address, or to recall one single event of his past life.
 Mrs. Nuzzenholtz was stricken sev- veral weeks ago and an operation was finally decided upon as the only hope of relief.
 She was taken to St. Raphael's hos pital and there under the direction of Dr. Verdi the difficult operation nec- essary in such cases was performed a few days ago. an opening being made in the skull and the diseased part of the brain removed. z
 Tn Mrs. Nuzzenholtz's case the op- eration now seems to have been sue cessful as she is apparently recover ing rapidly with every indication that she will regain her full mental DOW CTS

COLD WEATHER COMING
Rain or Snow Predicted, Too, For All
 Parts of the Country.

Washington, Nov. 2S-Storms and cold weather generally throughout the country is the prediction of the Weather Bureau for this week. Chief Moore has issued this forecast:
 ''The International weather charts prepared daily at the central office of the Weather Bureau indicate that during the week series of storms of marked intensity will cross the United States and that temperature changes preceding and following these disturb ances will be decided.
 "A d dsturbance that now covers the Mississippi Valley will advance east ward and cause unsettled weather with rains in the middle and southern and rain and snow in the northern districts east of the Mississippi dur ing the first part of the week: tn g disturbance will be followed by a marked change to colder weather as far south as the Gulf States and Florida by tonight or Tuesday.
 "Another disturbance that is off the North Pacific Coast will advance slowly eastward. attended by general precipitation, and will reach the At antic States by Thursday; it will be preceded by rising temperature and in all probability will be followed by a widespread change to colder weath- err"
