CAPT. COBB THANKS VOTERS

To the People of Sumter County:
l wish to express to you my heart
felt thanks for the interest taken in
my race for ordinary at the recent
primary. The manifestation of warm
personal desire, of encouragement
and works done to give me the en-
dorsement that was shown in the vote
received, touched my heart deeply
and demonstrated to me, that what |
had done here in the ffty-fve years
| have lived among you, were not
years spent in vain. To know that |
have so many devoted friends is full
compensation for all | have ever
done and all sacrifices | have ever
made, and will be a rich heritage to
leave to my posterity.
To the good women of Sumter
county, who have in so many ways
expressed their interest in my race,
though they cannot vote, have done
much, God bless them, to help in Civ
in~ an endorsement that | fully ap-
preciate. Their voices of encourage
ment have gone out over the whole
county-for me-like the bugle call
to soldiers in battle, Orally Around
the Flag Boys" and has kept up my
spirits and those of my friends work
ing in my interest.
To those who opposed me l can
truthfully say that | have no unllind
feelings to treasure against them.
The contest is over and let US all for
get and forgive and work in one
united band to make our county what
she deserves to be, the banner coun-

POOR OLD FRANCE
is STANDING ALONE.

Marshal Petain, former comman-
der-in-chief of the French army, says
that France to-day stands alone
against the German menace and by
that fact is forced to maintain a
large standing army. He is credited
with making the flat statement that
France has been deserted by her for
mer allies and that the league of ma
tions has not given the needed and
expected assurance of peace and
tranquility. We do not know to what
extent France may, in future, look
for help to her European allies, but
France will lean on a broken stick if
she ever depends on volunteer army
in America coming to her rescue. 1t
is a peculiar fact here that the re-
turned common soldier seldom has a
good word to say for the people of
France and England with whom they
came in contact while the A. E. F.
were in Europe,
