Dear Fri? ml > and Voters: As Probate Judge I am glad to say to you I have discharged the duties of the office in a way that reflects credit upon Kershaw County and the good people who put me in the office as the following reports by the expert accountants from the office of the Comptrol ler (leneral will show: Report of Mr. C. L. Vann, Expert Accountant, Made March 4th, 1916: "Books and records in this office are kept in excellent shape, and generally satisfac tory. This officer stays in his office and attends to business of t.ho County much better than many of the other Probate Judges in the State." A later report from, the same office says that the Frobate office of Kershaw <\>unty is kept better than a majority of the Probate offices of South Carolina. The last report which was made about a month ago and is on file in the office of Mr. Jas. H. Clyburn. Clerk of Court, says: "This officer is keeping the records as prescribed by law. and same is well kept, neat and accurate. All funds intrusted to his care have been properly accounted for. and all marriage fees due by him have been paid over to County Treasurer. We f\amined Pension Fund Account kept by this officer, and found same well kept Kep?>rt to Pension Clerk was correctly made." With thi> record 1 feel that I am justified in asking for your support and will thank you most heartily for it.
