in the future, l would not ask re-
election at your hands, but content
myself with the full measure of hon
ors you have given me already.
When | first came into public life
! met storm Of opposition, which
was very bitter and intense. 1t re-
quired intense and aggressive action
to overcome it; and, being combat
i've by nature, | fought with all my
might for those things l thought
were right and / won because you
approved my policies, my utterances
and my actions.
things were said and done on both
sides that, perhaps, had better been
left unsaid, and undone. Men are but
human, and when fired by strong
conviction they speak and do things
which they afterwards regret. AS
God is my Judge, 1 never said any
thing Sbut struth,a or did anything as
Governor or as Senator l did not be-
lieve to be for the public welfare.
AS | look back over my career, l can
see mistakes and blunders, plenty OF
them,, but they were honest blund-
ers, and | have never permitted self
ish ambition or petty revenge to con-
troll my actions. | have tried to be
oehalof OF all the people, as | was
Governor of the whole State, and nv
ambition has been, in the Senate, to
give the people the best service of
which was capable.
Owing to my poor health and In
accordance with the advice OF my
physician, I shall not mako anv
speeches during the canvass this
summer. All Of the old men in the
State have already heard me sneak.
and If there are any young ones VINO
have not and desire 1t, | shall take
pleasure In mailing such pamphlet
copies Of some Of my best speeches
which | have yet on hand. Nothing
would delight me more than to be
able once again to see my old
friends face to face, and it saddens
me to think that I shall never have
this pleasure again.
! shall hope that the people Of
South Carolina will not displace me
by voting me out, but that in some
way you will indicate wish for me
TO retire from this position because
OF your belief that | am no longer
physically capable Of performing the
duties Of the office. The senatorship
has always been regarded by me as
a sacred trust, and If | knew you
wanted me to surrender it, would
gladly lay 1t down, conscious that
nave done my duty always to the
best OF my ability. (Signed)

An election was held In Walhalla
yesterday, for Walhalla School Dis

suing $4,000 OF bonds for tho pur.
chase Of the Walhalla school building
and the completion OF the same.
There was no great interest mani
tested In the election so far as tho
drawing out of people to exercise

that will be adequate to meet tho
needs OF the district for many years
to come.
For some time the building as 1t
now Is has been entirely too small,
now is has been entirely too small.
Pupils have been overcrowded and
teachers badly hampered In their
work.
Inquiry from tho trustees brings
the information that the completed
building will be ready for the next
session Of the school.
AS originally planned, the build
ing was erected with the idea Of talk
ing care Of the then Immediate
needs Of the town Of Walhalla, and
for several years it was operated
strictly as town school, The plans.
for the building were cut In half,
giving ample room for the pupils
then to be cared for in the matter
OF schooling. The present object Is
simply to complete the original plans
for the building, thus practically
doubling the capacity Of the build
Ing and making possible an adequate
auditorium In connection with the
school, all under the same roof.
Efforts are already under way to
secure prompt and advantageous
sale of the bonds, and there Is but
little doubt that by the time for
the opening of&the next session of
the Walhalla High School the COM
pleted building will be ready for oc-
