During his tern of office had missed
only one call, and that to Greelyville,
because his wife was sick and he could
not make the trip. Mr.. H. S. Gamble
had attended the duty for him.
Mr.. NJ. B. Mitchum
who is also candidate for coroner
was the next speaker. He told the
audience that he was comparatively
a young man and capable of filling
the office satisfactorily; but was with
out any past experience as county
official, and would appreciate their
support.
MIR. ]. Pat Gibbons
Third and last candidate to speak
as candidate for coroner, brought
down the house. He touched on
mythology and ancient history and
geography from Greelyville via bay
of Biscay, and in machine-gun style
traversed the universe until he finall,'
landed on J. Pat Gibbons, candidate
for coroner. His speech was pro-
nounced the speech of the day.
Mr.. T. E. Carkson
Candidate for probate judge, had
looked into the functions of the office
and found that the duties of probate
judge are of very great Importance.
He believes he ch fill those duties
most acceptabiy. He is resident OF
Kingstree ano would devote his en-
tire time to the office. Had nothing
to say against his opponent, one was
an excellent farmer and the other
prophet. 1t would be wrong, at this
time when national cry is for greater
production, to take a good man OF
The farm.
Mr.. w. E. SnOwden.
Mr.. Snowden was the next candi-
date up for the office Of probate
Judge. He was glad to be among the
good people of Greelyville, and re-
iuarked on the advanced age in which
we are living. He felt that he was
capable of filling the office and as
this was a time for thinking and do
| ing, he hoped the people would think
of him as their candidate for probate
Judge, and on August 81 do for him
that which would make him in reality
their Judge of probate.
MIR. D. M. Lesesne
Was the third and last candidate to
speak for the office of probate judge.
It was the first time he had ever been
a candidate for office and had burnt
no gasoline in going all over the coun-
ty soliciting votes. He said he had
studied and practiced law and was
we'll qualified to fill the office he was
seeking. Did not believe in piling up
treasure in the Golfers of Jno. ID.
Rockefeller by using his gas and oil
running over the county 70 solicit
votes.
Mr.. C. B. Cox.
This candidate was late to arrive
on the field of battle. He lived In the
Hemingway section and had a long
road to travel to Greelyville. Mr..
Cox announced his candidacy for the
house of representatives and told the
audience that while he was not known
to them he would appreciate their
support On August 81.
For Magistrate at Greelyvilee-
The first of aspirants to appear n
behalf of his candidacy for this office
