'V.,. r. hat'r Api i' -'MUI 0.S LF-MI N . To the Dsmooratio Voters of the ott Judicial CircOit of South Carollsa. Ili announcing my candidacy, I I wish to state briefly my expe rience in the court-room, 'my advantages to learn the law and familiarize myself 'With the du ties of the solicitor's.office. I served for three years as law clerk for Hunt, Hunt & Hunter,, of Newberry~ S. .neto~i olina,andiave served as comrt. stenographer of the-10th judicial. circuit for six years since com pleting.my law course. Ihave been in court continuously dur Ing that time, taking the court proceedings in short-hand and then writing out most all of theI Important cases after leaving the court-room, thereby becoming familiar with every phase of the law. I have also asated Solic itor Bogge in preparing most all of the indictmlntbi-as well as getting up the testimony, and I ani perfectly familiae with the duties of the sollcitor'g office. If I am elected nothing in the office will be new to me, having been drilled for several years along that line, I think lmy experi ence in 'court has been worth -more to me than that of the average lawyer. I want- to see hepeople of-the tenth circuit elect the man who will make them the best, solicit or,. and one who will see to' it that justice is administered t~o * one and all alike. .I am going to run solelyson pn e own merit, free froin all political schefnes or oombinatin DUty *is going to be mra platform. :I believe in strictly, enforcing all laws upon the Statute Books. I do not believe in baving one la* for the poor or inexperIanoed man and another for the rich toz inftuentiaI man, but I believe in every man receiving the same *copsiderationi Wen he coiges *Into a court dLt( hRouatter ~hat hls stat iun tM ay be.

Ediorofthe Mdpron Intelli lgencer, Anderenx 8. .: 1)ear ;** ~~d~tor: W vbni LDE MAN. for Solicitor of the Tenth Judi cial Circuit this summer, and we. the undersigned citizens of Johnson, S. C.,. the boyhood home of! M. C. Long, wish to say what we know of him per sonally. Mr. Long was born and reared on a farm four miles from John son. ,iis father, J. M. Long, was Murdered by a negro when Iss*widowmndtworphan children, the step-mother, half brother and half-sister of M, C. Long, the children then being four and six years of age. Af ter the debts of J. M. Long were paid, even his home was sold from under -his widow and chil dren, leaving only one horse to them. M. C. Long, then a boy, book that one horse, rented land, gave liens on his crops, and with the aid of his brother, supported his step-mother and her children for four years until she married again, and then he took his half sister -and half-brother to sup port and educate, and gave the last one a college education in May, 1907. We know nothing of Mr. Long's ability as a lawyer, he having been admitted to the bar Efter leaving here, but think his . past history will bear us out in saying he is a man who will stand 'for the right principle in all things, and if slected we feel sure your circuit will be in safe hands.
