SENATOR R1DGELL REVIEWS WORK RETIRING SENATOR SETS OUT CONSTRUCTIVE MEASURES CHAMPIONED DURING TERM. To tbe Citizens of Lexington County. The year 1916 you elected me your State Senator to serve four years. My term Expires this year, when you will elect my successor. I have rendered you the best service I was capable of and trust it has met your approval. The world war, adopting the Eigh wuui nuicuuiilcui io iuh constitution of the United States and progressive acts of the South Carolina general assembly for education, highways, health and other measures fostered by the State, received su?h splendid support that the 1917?1920 period will be .. memorable. As your sepator, I feel that I owe it to you to give a brief import of my record, which I shall do: I served on the following committees vis: education, enrolled bills, public buildings, railroads and internal improvements; medical affairs, finance, police regulations, the last of which I was/ chairman. l?exipgto'n county measures I favored, viz: capitation road tax; road tax to be expended on roads in the township in which it is paid; rural mail routes made public highways; school trustee* appointed in April, one each year, sd that two will always hold over; ap propriation to build courthouse annex and purchase fixtures and supplies for it; dividing the county inio four districts and appointing 1 commissioner from' each district to serve two years, so apointed that two will retire annually and two hold over; bonds to the amount of fifty thousand dollars to build two bridges over Saluda rivei (the dlficu.lty to [get material and price of it caused by the World War, the amount being inadequate, this was repealed 1920); prohibiting carnivals from showing in the county except at the county fair; borrow $100,000 tw procure federal aid offered the county to build certain highways; have the treasurer keep record of receipts and disbursements ua.directed by law; the four county comissioners administer county .affairs and employ a county _ road engineer, thus abolishing the office of supervisor; this last passed the senate but was defeated in the house. State measures, viz.: - State teachers' employment bureau; trustees certify transfer of puphs from districts before they shall be enrolled; Ave hum dred thousad dollars to house State officials and departments now renting; this passed the Senate but wai defeated In the house; tax ccnimis; slon, also committeed to suggest othex sources for revenue than visible property; compulsory school attendance, 1 = Why mai we ma cigaret MS^ k^ d, ^ ?

This by no means covers all, but shows the trend of my action, which I thought would Interest you. Again I assure you of my sincere appreciation of the important trust comimitted to me and, your words, letters and resolutions approving my record, have deepened my interest in your welfare, all of which is an Incentive for me to conduct myself in such a manner as will maintain your con nueijue hiiu approval.
