'I'd ilu* Voters of Kershaw County. Your confidence in and esteem fur m<' ns expressed in the Ivillot box on last Tuesday has touched and stirred ine xuost profoundly, even more so than any of the many previous simi lar expressions in the past, ami I wish hereby to express-my sincere :ip preeiatioa to my friend* for their loyal support. I have always tried to nerve yon honestly, faithfully and conscientious Jy and I plod go you that my best ef forts will 1m> put forth to do this i'? the future and. If sueh a thing l?e invi sible, to servo you even better than evor before. I was not the candidate of any fac tion but ran solely on my own record and qualifications. 1 have made no pledges or promises to any one which will hinder ine from doing my full duty with reference to any matter which may come before me affecting the citizens of Kersnaw County or of of South OrroLlna. I have no enemies to punish not withstanding the fact that some Utile fight was put up against mo in some sections by certain misguided friends and others. The future will reveal that they were mistaken and I pledge them that in the performance of my public duty Ujey will have the same fair consideration as other ]>eoplo. It lias been said that the duties of the Probate Office are as solemn as the grave, as weighty as a millstone and as numerous as the *>tars and that they cannot be properly discharged without wisdom and righteousness. And truly thLs is so. I realise fully tho great weight and responsibility rating upon me as tho officer whose duty it is to deal with those serious ami *acrud matters, --and to measure fully up*io the requirements of all these duties will "be my ehlef aim. The people of Kershaw County have been truly good to ane ahd I pledge them that for the next four years they will have the best Probate Judge they have had since the administration of that grand old gentleman and distil guLslied lawyer, Col. W. D. Tranthani, whom I .succeeded. My exj>erience in the office, will enable me to do thU, Again I thank you. Very respectfully, w. it.
