MIR. TILLNlAN THANKS VOTERS

Editor Keowee Courier: | wish to
ask for space in your columns to
thank those who supported me for
Congress in the recent primary. No
man appreciates more than | do the
support which was so freely given in
that contest. think | might be
pardoned in calling to the attention
Of those who voted for me, as a
source Of pride in their vote, the re-
suits as shown by the ballots Of my
home people. Edgefeld is my ma
tive county, where | was born and
raised, and in the Edgefeld part Of
Mccormick county I received 237
votes to my opponents 147. In
Greenwood city, my home, | received
$50 votes to combined vote
against me Of 1856, and in Greenwood
county / received 1,45S votes to
combined vote against me Of 1914.
When it is remembered that this is
also Congressman Aiken's old home
! feel justifiable pride in the above
figures.
There Is no sting in a defeat that
carries with 1t the testimony Of the
regard and esteem Of ones neigh
bors, and whatever may be my fu-
ture in politics l will never receive
vote that I will appreciate more
than | appreciate the votes given
me last Tuesday, and hope that
will never do anything in the future
to cause any man to regret the vote
he cast for me then. l made my
campaign on issues vital to the peo-
pie, and sought to enlighten and
elevate the audiences to which I
spoke. Every man who runs race
wants to win, and was no excep-
ton to the rule; but in figuring the
summers work I have no regrets. I
ran clean race in clean way, and
the consciousne ess OF 1t Is worth more
than a victGry unworthily won.
Respectfully,
Fl. G. TILLNlAN.

adjoining land. was perhaps fatally
wounded in shooting affair which

inent families in this section.
According to reports, some Of Mr..
Bonners farm hands left their crops
and went to work for Buchanan
Bonner, when he had discovered that
his hands had left the crops. went to
see Mr.. Buchanan about them. An
argument ensued and Buchanan
drew his revolver, firing at Bonner.
The shot brought the farmer to the
ground, but he managed to draw his
revolver and shoot his alleged assail-
ant four times, killing him instantly.
"A physician was called immediate-
~, buI after an examination reported
that there was slight chance for
Bonner's recovery.
