Card From Clerk Shealy.
To the Voters oi Lexington County:
As the election day draws near then
are always many campaign stories sel
afloat throughout the county. This
summor they are very numerous; and
many of them are false from their beginning.
A great number has been directed
against me for the sole purpose
of carrying points, places, and individuals
in the coming election. I take
this means of warning my friends to
be on their guard, and take no notice
of such false and slanderous reports.
My public and private record is before
the people, and I am quite willing
to stand upon it. All charges that I
have made sire founded upon fact, and
I defy contradiction.
The proficiency of the work done
during my administration as Clerk oi
the Court has never been questioned,
even by my political enemies; and everyone
who has had work done with
me knows that I have saved a great
amount of money to the public by reducing
the fees.
During this campaign, as in all previous
ones made by me, I have endeavored
to condncfc a clean campaign?
using only snch matter as the records
themselves will bear me out. It has
never been my policy to use flimsy
and slanderons material to win votes
or a nomination.
I desire here to publicly thank my
friends for their past support, personally
and politically, and I promise
here and now a faithful performance
of every duty devolving upon me.
Very sincerely yours,
Frank W. Shealy.

Tltie Lyric
Columbia's favorite little theatre,
this week, is the center of attraction
for all lovers of amusement and
fine pictures. Billy Beard the popular
comedian of the south and one of
Columbia's own bovs will entertain
with his funny songs and humorous
hits. He is a clever "feller" and
certainly is popular at home as well
as abroad on the stage. Go and hear
him.
To The Public
It having been reported at the campaign
meetings and otherwise for the
purpose or injuring The Home National
Bank, that Mr. Sam P. Roof is the
owner of a controlling stock, or interest
in said bank, we submit the letter
of Mr. Roof himself, which is hereto
attached aud is self explanatory.
Respectfully,
The Home National Bank.

Lexington, S. C.
Gentlemen:
Replying to yonr inquiry, in which
you state it is being told in and
around here, and at some of the
campaign meeting that I own stock
in your bank, I will say that I do not
own, control or have any interest ir
any stock in your bank at all. The
five shares of H. M. Wingarcl stock ]
have long since sold, and the Dr,
Kaufmann stock which I boaght fo]
another party, I have no idea whc
owns it today. Any statement that ]
am the owner of said stock is untrue
I hope this statement will correc
the rumor,
Yours very truly,
Sam P. Roof.
Mad at Paint
25c a gallon for paint is about $2.5i
on the average job, and lots of mei
waited last year for that; but the;
didn't reckon; they got mad; wouldn'
pay it.
There- aie times to get mad and re
fuse to pay; but when one's propert;
needs protecting is no time to get ma<
and not paint.
Besides, it costs more to get; ma
and wait than to paint.
Getting mad doesn't do any good t
your property; paint does it good b
keeping-out water; no water no rot
no paint, some water and rot; and
little rot is more than enough co mak
a man liberal toward his painter an
paint.
Paint costs not a cent. All the pair
in the world, so long as it keeps-ot
water, costs not a cent,
