Then fcllow-citizcnn, when you arc making out your vote for Trcasuter at our primary election, don't forget your old officers who have performed the duties of both Auditor und Treasurer to their own credit and to the honor of our County. As one of these I w juld make a proposition. If I should bo returned ns your choice at your primary election, and succeed in getting the appointment, I plcdgo myself to 'akc all the re>::>onsihilitves and perform' the labors of thc office for one thousand dollars, und when 1 settle with thc State. Treasurer I will hold on to tho whole salary as now allowed by law and turn over every dollar of it except the thousand dollars for my services to our County Commission ers for County purposes, and thus save to our down trodden and over-taxed people almost, if not quite, the entire County tax levy. What say you? will yon trot the old "fell" through and trust him once more ? ifso you shall have his every effort to land you safely on the shore of a happy deliverance from a County tax levy. Who will do the same for tho Andltor's post? Don't all speak at once. To be kept open for free dis cussion until thc 10th of October. Very Respectfully, XV. S. SHAW. A CARD MESSRS. EDITORS : In a card published in your paper some time since, 1 accepted a nomination as candidate for School Com missioner. In the same card I stated that it was impossible for mc to canvass the Coun ty ut that time ; but that 1 would moot thc peoplp during the summer mouths at their public assemblies. Long continued illness of members of my family prevented my doing so ; and considering my very limited acquaintance with thc people I think it my duty to withdraw froiu thc contest ; ami I do so thc more readily in view of the fact that the Interests of the County can in no wiso suffer thereby, as there arc other gen tlemen, worthy in every way to dischargo thc duties of the office, seeking the same. Ml relations with these gentlemen during my brief experience in tho canvass has been of thc most pleasant nature; and although I cannot contribute to thc success of nil, I eau at least hope that they will come nut of the cainnaitni ontortidni ncr AW icindlv frolinirs f.ij* 1 each other as ? do for them all. I thank my friends for tho interest they have shown In my behalf, and heartily join them in thc grand work Of achieving a Democratic vic tory in South Carolina. Respect fully, JOHN P.
