The office of County Auditor, es pecially, appeals to me because of the work carried on there. That is deal ing with figures and meeting the public. I have studied arithmetic in school, math in college and have taught arithmetic for four years; therefore, it seems that I shpuld be well qualified to correctly figure the taxpayer’s tax. When it comes to meeting and dealing with the public on a business basis, that has been my daily occupation. At the age of 14 I started in business -in a small way and I have been successful be cause I have enjoyed the confidence of my fellowmen. This experience qualifies me for the Auditor’s office so far as dealing fairly with the pub lic is concerned. In conclusion, I promise the people of Laurens County to transact the duties of County Auditor on such an honorable and decent basis that you will never regret having elected me Auditor. I am not seeking this office as a payment for any former service that I have rendered my county, nor am X asking for it upon any one else’s record of friendship, t am asking for it upon my own free will and accord, and when elected I shall not be obli gated to any individual, family, group or Arm, but I shall be obligated to all the citizens of Laurens County to handle their affairs in this office with fairness.
