the confidence they have always re-
posed in me in the past. My public
and private life is before you, it is an
open book; and if you see fit to elect
me your supervisor on next Tuesday,
I assure you that I will give you the
best service of which my experience
my head and my heart are capable.
Very respectfully,
James Caughman.
August 20, 1912.
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1912-08-21
Mr.. Caughman Presents
HIS Platform.

To the Democratic Voters of Lexing-
ton County:
On account of the very limited time
given the candidates for county super
visor during the campaign, which has
made it impossible to discuss issues
and present our claims, I take this
method of giving you an opportunity
to learn of some of the things I stand
for; and which, if elected, shall
endeavor to put into effect.
First. I stand for an honest and
economical administration of the
county's affairs; and I shall strive at
all times TO run the government on
the lowest possible basis consistent
with good service.
Second. I am IN favor of operating
a truck farm on the county's planta-
ton at the poor house. Instead of
raising cotton I believe in growing Ir-
ish potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips,
and the other necessaries of life to be
used on the chaingang to feed the con-
victs and stock. In this way I am
satisfied that hundreds Of dollars
could be saved the taxpayers every
year, and the expenses cut down to
an appreciable degree.
Third. To further economize I am
in favor of disposing of the saddle
horse and milch COW on the chaingang,
and am unalterably opposed to raising
large numbers of hogs on the chain
gang at the present high prices of feed
stuffs- at at the expense of the general
taxpayers. firmly believe that if
you elect me your supervisor I will be
able to cut the expenses of the chain
gang almost one-half.
Fourth. I am in favor of keeping
up the roads by contract after the
chaingang has put them in proper con-
dition. This is the only way, in my
opinion, that the roads can be kept up
at nOmlnal cost.
Fifth. I am in favor of giving each
township in the counJy-whether that
township be in the rich and thickly
settled Dutch Fork or the remotest
part of the sand hills-its prorata share
of the chaingang's work, as the law
provides. I can promise nothing more
than to see that the law in this partic-
ular is carried out to the letter.
Sixth. 1 wish to correct a wrong
impression which has gone out among
the people of the county to the effect
that in holding the position of county
commissioner have been signing the
many "extravagant claims that have
been paid of. AS matter of fact.
commissioner has absolutely nothing
to do with signing claims, and during
the four years 1 have been on the
board l have not signed single claim.
In conclusion, wish to thank the
good people of Lexington county for

A Card

Nv business and home affairs have
been such that have not been able to
canvass the county thoroughly as 1
intended and would like to say to my
friends and supporters that I will ap-
preciate their support and influence in
nv behalf and if elected I guarantee
to give entire satisfaction to one and
sll of Lexington county.

For Lexington Dispatch

Serious sickness in my family has
prevented me from attending the reg
ular appointments of the Executive
Committee. For this reason I have
been unable to meet many of the
people.
It was with great reluctance that I
consented to enter the race for the
legislature, I was importuned by
many good people in many differ
ent places in the county, but not un-
til my own home people said I must
offer, did 1 yield.
The probability now is that I will
not get out any more before the peo-
pie. Generally, however, the people
know my competency, but I am sorry
that have not been able to meet the
people and give them chance to ask
me about the issues before US. I stand
today as I have for 25 years, the ex-
ponent of economy. i have practiced
in my home life, advocated in all pub
lie places, and shall endeavor to do
so in the state, if the people decide I
shall 60 to the house.
Being very grateful to all my friends,
and assuring them that, though not
neglecting my present duties, I shall
use my best endeavor to represent the
people of my county, if elected. I
leave the election in your hands, hav-
ing confidence that the people will do
what is best.
Again thanking you sincerely,
E. L. LYbrand.
