A CARD


FROM DAUGHDRILT.. Dear Editor
If you will allow me space in the CO..
umns of the good old Greene County
Herald, ] wish by this method to
thank the good people of Greene
+ County at large for their kindness
and hospitality that they have shown
towards me while being in your
homes and your midst 10 my little
campaign oyer Greene County. |
wish to say that it has not been
burden to me, but a pleasure TO meet
and become in touch with the good
people in Greene County once in life,
while if not providentially hindered
expect to continue. | wish to again
thank the Editor of the Greene Coun-
ty Herald for the good and kind
words rendered NE in his comment
to me when announcing my candida
cy on March the 3, 1911. | also wish
to correct some Interpretations that
arc being circulated in regards to a
Card that have. Some have prob
ably heard that have promised to
pay all the preachers and all the
widow wOmens taxes OF Greene Coun-
ty, and so on. But | wish &, saw
with due respeco to all that the card
does not read that way Now here
is exactly the card; read 1t and you
will see what it says for yourself:
To whom this NAV concern, If
you need help pelp the one that now
fist offers TO help you. If / am elect
ed as your next Sheriff, II without
cost furnish to all the old ministers of
the Gospel and to all the poor widow
women of Greene County. their tax
receipt without cost to them
I'll contribute this to them for
their special benefit to show my ap-
probation to the people for the office,
and if the laws will permit I'll meet
the people once year and collect
their taxes. Thanking you in ad-
vance for your consideration and sup.
port.
Yours Respt.,
+. KIM DAUGHDRILL,
Nicely, Miss
So you see for yourself that the
card does not say all the preachers
neither all the widow women, but it
only states all the old ministers Of
the gospel and all the poor widow
women, and they are not all poor |
got list of the poor widow women
of Greene County and the amount of
their taxes from our present Sheriff
Mr.. Dan SreIand to see what it would
cost before ever had this card made
and | saw that it would cost but a
small sum to fulfil to the extent OF
the card that | have Now if the vo-
tiers of Greene County gives me thus
Office, which it will be through them
that | expect to obtain it and not
otherwise, / expect to do just what J.
promised and can do it and then have
enough to live on still and any other
man caa out of the salaay of the
Sheriff S office. Give fifty or even
seyenty-fve dollars a year as char
liable gift, and appreciate the office
to that extent; yes | would.
| had rather give this in this way
than to give it in some other way
Not for the good that I expect to OBJ
tain out of it in this election but for
the good it will do for me in the day
to come. Right, just and honest
will always stand in the long run for
the person that proposes right, so
remember that the white places left
blank will reject and the black cross
es X will elect, SO go out to the polls
on August the 1st and cast your vote
as YOU think best on that day for the
good of your County.
Thanking you for your support
and influence. am, as ever,
Yours Respt.,
f. KIM DAUGHDRlLL.
