IT PAYS TO B -TO THE Democratic Voters -OF- I Oconee County: On account of my official duties and the inclement weather, 1 find that it will be impossipble for me to see all of the voters in this county before the primary election on Aug ust the 31st, so I am taking this method of soliciting your careful consideration of my candidacy. Since I asked your suffrage four1 years ago the rights of our country to sail her vessels upon tho seas j when her business required, and to maintain the Constitution as out lined by our forefathers, bas been challenged by the Cern?an Empire,1 who believed that Might was Hight. During that struggle for Liberty and Justice our Government called upon me to render a service which was a very unpleasant duty to per form, and even had 1 so desired 1 could not have honorably escaped this service. We acted upon the cases that were presented to us without fear or fa vor: We delivered the record of our acts and doings to the Government that asked us to do the work, and we have received an honorable dis charge, and J wish to deny, very emphatically, the charges made against me by some of the citizens of this county that 1 received money or other valuable consideration for deferring any registrant from mili tary servico during that war. Most of the cases complained of were cases wholly within the jurisdiction of the District Board of Greenwood, S. C., and 1 would respectfully refer you to that board in speaking of those cases handled by that board instead of charging them against usv 1 purchased Liberty Bonds, freely, from a patriotic standpoint; I do nated to the funds of the American lied Cross and other welfare work, during the war. However, by reason of my services to our Country my re election is being opposed to the ut termost by tho disloyal German ele ment in Oconee County. You elected mo os Clerk of Court four years ago by a very large ma jority. Sinco you have honored me with this office I have made a great many improvements upon the rec ords, having transcribed all of the deeds affecting our County from An derson and Piekens Counties, prior to the year 1868, and have re-in dexed all of tho real estate mort gages sinco tho year 1891. I have re Indexed the Judgments since the for mation of Oconee County. I have Indexed all of the Sessions papers during my term of office, according to law. I have re-Indexed Lispendens and Attachments in a modern way. for which services I did not receive one cont except tho amount I paid over to the ones employed by me to do tho writing. The last two Items mentioned affect very materially the title to your real estate. I have never charged any of the churches, public schools, nor any charitable institu tion, any foo for services rendered them during my administration. 1 have waited upon the public prompt ly nnd with patience, whenever called upon, and have remained In my office for long hours during the day In transacting business for the public. My position that. 1 wish to state for your consideration at the ballot box on August tho thirty-first ls that 1 stand for a constituted govern ment; for our freedom of the seas; . for tho principles we have stood for for one hundred and forty-five years, upholding the Declaration of Inde pendence os adopted by tho Colonial Convention on July 4th, 177C, under imont, Gilt Edge se as good as L make it, Br barrel. . 96-lb. sack. it $12.50 per barrel. ',. Bauknight, ULA, S. C. UY FOR CASH. which we have defended our Country in every crisis since that time. Upon thii position, and upon my past record, 1 offer you my service for re-election to this most responsi ble office, and if re-elected 1 assure you that I will serve you tc the best of my ability in the future, as 1 have in the past. JOHN F. CRAIG, Candidate for Re-election, (adv) Office of Clerk of Court. TO THE VOTERS OE OCONEE. As the day for tho election draws near, every voter will decide upon the candidate who can best serve his county. So far OH ability is concerned, any intelligent man can discharge the du ties of Coroner. Tho main essential ls in having a man who lives near the center of tho county, and who can be found at all times. In case of a death, the Coroner ls wanted at once. I live at Walhalla, in the center of the county. I can be reached by tele phone from all parts of the county. I will appreciate your taking these fncts into consideration in making your choice for Coroner. Yours truly, (adv.-33-3<1) GEO. L. JONES. OCONEE MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION MEETING.
