The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1912-08-22

9th when he was going to climb the
hill and he would then leave them
behind. Thinks this a responsible
position. Only man who could ar
rest sheriff. He closed by saying
''Hurrah for Duncan, Jones and
Blease, and on the 9th vote for me
if you please
J. H. Zeigler, the present incumb'
ent, was next speaker. Was not
asking for reelection, as he was fill
ing out the unexpired term of the
man that was elected four years ago
Had tried to do his duty and if elect
ed would try to do so again. He
| might have enemies but he was the
enemy of no man. Was the first time
he remembers having seen Mr.. Fail
Let others hold the jobs they had
and let him keep the one he had
| (Crowd calls for song and joke
Told the joke of the poor boy and
rich girl. If voters would send Cri-
der, Fail and All back home would
sing the little song.
J. B. All, the next speaker, said
he had no joke to tell. If eletced
would do his duty. Asked to be re-
membered on the 9th.
The candidates for County Com
misisoners were the next speakers.
H. w. Chitty being the first speak
er introduced. He stated that he
was in favor of good roads. In ia
vor of road taxes going on the roads
nearest to the man who paid them.
Feels as if he is going to be elected.
j. J. zeigler came next. This was
the first time he had ever asked for
office. No one could put their finger
on anything dishonorable that he
had ever done. He closed by saying
that on the 9th walk to the polls
with your ticket in your hand and
be sure that Zeigler is the man.
G. w. Folk was the next speaker.
Was asking for reelection. Have
studied the affairs of the county and
done the best l could. Was in favor
of good roads. Had had some expert
ence in road building. The past
year had been an exceedingly bad
year on roads and bridges. Law had
been changed and it was hard to de-
eide the best way to use the money.
Had to work in a hurry. Thinks
money should go back to township
from which it came. Thinks he can
do better in the future. His oppo-
nents his friends. If you think he
has done his duty vote for him, and
if you think others better fitted for
the position vote for them. Would
be thankful for the support of all.
w. B. Smoak spoke next: Was
born and raised in 3 7a miles of this
place. Had been spoken of as a
Bamberg candidate, was not but was
a Bamberg County candidate. Run
ming race on own merits. Didn' t
think communication road tax had
been used right. Each dollar
should go back on the public road
from which it came. Seventy-four
dollars had been paid on the road
on which he lived and only small
portion had been used there. Every
body knew him, and it didn't matter
what he might say he didn't think he
could change any ones vote.
w. P. Sandifer was the next
speaker. Asked for support on his
merits. Was not singing mud. Did
not want the office for what was in
it, but because he thought he could
be of benefit if elected. Would stop
the habit of ploughing into the public
roads. Will do his duty if elected.
w. P. Mcmillan was the first
speaker for the office of County Su-
pervisor. Announced his candidacy
and said he would do his duty If
elected
G.. Brooks Kinard was the next
speaker. Was scared when he spoke
here two years ago and was still a
little scared. Thankful for past sup
port. Tried to do the best he could.
Had done his best work in auditing
claims. Had reduced county ex-
penses the first year but they had
gone back up during the past year.
On account of the food had to work
in hurry during the past year and
did not have time to study out best
plan for using the communication road
tax. Would study out better plan
for using this money. Most import
ant office in the gift of the people.
A supervisor could ruin a county in
two years, as there was no way to
keep them from being eXtravagant
if they wanted to be. Feels he is
