TO THE VOTERS OF LAURENS COUNTY: XI want to thank you for the wonderful vote you gave me two years - ago which resulted in my election as ypur county treasurer for the unex pired term of the late D. R. Simpson. I now make my report to you and if you feel that I have been faithful to the trust you imposed in me I will appreciate your support now for a full term. I feel that I am much better prepared to fill the office now than I was when you elected me two years ago. The hooks are in good shape and all brought up to date. My collection of taxes has been- faithfully carried oat. In 1940 the coUections were better than the county had en joyed in 10 years, doe of coarse, to your promptness In meeting your ob ligations when you were prepared to do it. In 1941, in spite of the crop failure, my collections were only $700 less than 1940. We have been fortunate in reducing the county indebtednees by over $150,000 by paying off county and school district bonds. At the same time, we have not borrowed any money and have sufficient funds on hand to operate throughout the year without borrowing. If yon feel that I have carried out my trust, and have treated you with consideration and courtesy, I ask you to vote for me now for a full term. I have neither the money nor the derive to put out paid workers, but will depend on you on election day. I hope to see yon personally, but with the ga4;jmd tire ritnaUen as it la I may not he able to do ae. ?.*■ •- ; . ? ' M ■ • •>r; '■iW W'.V -I * }** :■ i -y''.* mm V-in Hr..-* ' ~ , •t-F.
