Judge Drafts Thanks Voters

To the Voters of Lexington county,
| want to thank the voters OF
Lexington county for the big vote
which they gave me on August 9th
appreciate the confidence you have
putin me for the last twenty years.
as Judge otiF robate, and promise
iftelected, to give the same, honest
service. Nobody has ever lost a
cent sincesI had the Office, nor ever
will by me. When tho Lexington
Savings Bank failed l lost about
Sc en- hundred dollars which be-
|longed to orphans and minors, and
gentlemen, | went down in my
pockets and made every cent good.
The records in the office show it.
| have always tried to do what was
right, When I was only seventeen
years old my country called me and
I shouldered my old musket and
left home to fight for what we
thought was right. | served faith
fully in the war until my general
surrender at Greensboro, n. &.
To-day the country is calling for
men from eighteen to forty-fve to
fight, and l wish l could go, but I
am too o]d: The government
wants everybody to fill the place
wherever is best. fitted, and since |
am too old to shoulder my gun
again, l am asking you to keep me
where | am. | think / can fill the
office as good as any mar.
My opponent is a young man
about thirty-fve years old and is
able to do active military service,
could he not show his patriotism
best py going to war as your boys
have done? Would it not be bet
ter for him to be running to re-
cruiting station rather than be run
ming for an office which will exempt
him for the next four years
Are you willing to take this office
from an old Confederate Veteran
who has fought his share? Your
vote will answer.
Again, want to thank you for
the confidence you have placed IN
me in the past, and if am elected
| will try to do the right thing as l
have always done,
Respectfully.

7e the Democratic Voters of Lexing-

beg to announce that I have. this
dssy handed to Hon. c. M. Efird,
asirman Of the County Executive
orsarnattee, written notice of my with
<fa;wal from the race for Probate

our Congress has Just recently passed
Is new draft law including all men be-
tween the ages of IS to 45.3 This law
has become effective since the First
bEimary and has complicated agreat
nsany matters When this campaign
opened the age limit was 81 to 81,
and many Of the high officials IN
NeShington gave ont statements that,
zn their opinion, the law would not
{ be changed any time soon; but since
that time, conditions have changed
aad the law has been altered to meet
The new conditions will soon be 35
and when entered the race, was
lust as much out of the then limit as
was either Of the other two aSpirants
for this office. Since the First primary
4 have had sufficient assurances to
warrant my election on September 10
But take this view of the situation:
Saftes myleIection, would have to re-
sign the Office or else claim exemption
On the ground that 1 was an office
hoader-and that is more than my
sense of patriotic duty can stand for.
If someone benefits by my withdrawal
who should not, the loss will be doub-
~ accounted for later; for, as see it,
fhe welfare of the country is Of far
greater import than a county ot1ice.
The people who know me best know
that am no gutter: my policy is

tssat is just what intend to do in a

opDortunities for public service; and

to supreme test, and those $40

and put on the garbage heap where
they belong. 4 have no fear but that
the people of my county will approve
my course when they view it from

JUDGE DRAFTS FOR
JUDGE OF PROBATE

We, the undersigned Confederate
Veterans, comrades Of George S.
Drafts, want to say to the people
of Lexington county, that George
fought with US nearly four years
and there was not braver man or
better soldier in our company. He
was always present to answer every
roll call and to willingly obey all
commands. We believe he has been
just as faithful in the duties of the
Office Of Judge of Probate as he
was in the war, and we, the surviv-
ing few in his company, want to en-
