To the Democratic voters of Will
liamsburg county:
desire to express to you my heart
felt thanks for the splendid support
which you gave ME in Tuesdays pri-
mary. And to merely say that l am
grateful to you, would be a mild ex-
preston of what l really feel. My
election as your senator marks the
attainment of laudable ambition OF
long standing, which was to be elect
ed senator from my native county.
I fully realize that this honorable
position carries with it many obliga-
tions, which l trust with divine guild
ance to discharge to the best interest
of my constituents.
During the next four years many
perplexing problems will confront us.
We are passing through period OF
transition and change. And no man
can tell when things will become
normal again. With the three gen.
tlemen whom you will send with me
promise that whatever questions
may arise, my only thought shall al
ways be for the best interest Of my
people. AS it will be impossible for
me to see my friends personally, l
take this method of expressing to
them my appreciation for their active
support. Again thanking you, 1 am
gratefully yours,

l wish to thank my friends for the
support given me in the first primary
and to say that l will be in the Sec
ond race.
/ have reason to believe that a
good many who would have voted for
me did not do so on account of my

that though l am not able to do any
laborious work, my health has stead
lily improved for the past few months
and l fell confident that will be able
to perform the duties of the magis-
trate's office. My recovery from my
recent illness has been slow but steady

Is it possible that the town author
tiles of Kingstree are going to al
low the unpaved streets to 60 on
forever without there being few
days work expendexd on them. We
venture the assertion that not one hun
dred dollars has not been spent dur
ing the past year and half on I'M
provement and upkeep of the unpav-
ed streets of the town. 1t is not for
lack of funds that this condition pre-
walls from what we can gather, but
rather due to negligence.
