Editor County Record: Please allow me space in your paper to say to the voters of the county that I will net be u candidate for the legislature at the approaching primary. I appreciate the honor sought to be conferred on me by those who have kindly promised me their support, and sincerely regret that business considerations, as well as other obvious reasons, render it inexpedient for me to stand for election at this time. It is very probable that I will be absent from the county the greater portion of the time after this year, and would not be in position to render my constituents as efficient service as I would desire in the event of ray election, i therefore deem it my duty to withdraw from the race. Very respectfully, W. Eugene Cooke. Scranton, S. C., July 21, '02. A Literary Treat Through the courtesy of Hon. R. B.
