O’DELL FOR SOLICITOR 1 am a candidate for the office of Solicitor of the Eighth Judicial Circuit (comprising the counties of Abbeville, Greenwood, Laurens and Newberry) in the coming primary election, according to the rules of My Friends: When I entered the race for Solicitor of the Eighth Circuit, I did so with the determination to make a good Solicitor, if elected. All my life, I have worked and prepared myself thoroughly in the law so that 1 would be qualified to seek this important office. Twenty years of practice in our Courts have given me the background and experience to represent all the people as Solicitor. Your words of encouragement, your help with those you know in other counties, and your promise of support on July 8th have made me more determined than ever to live up to what you have a right to ex pect of your Solicitor both as an officer and as a man. Believing that the Solicitor should hold the respect of the people, I have tried through my humble efforts in the Church, Civic Organizations, work with the Boy Scouts of America, and our Schools to prove myself acceptable. The moral fibre of any man can be best judged by the opinions of those among whom he lives. If I should be elected your Solicitor, I promise to so conduct myself that you will have no cause to re gret having supported me. Please believe me when I say that I am humbly and sincerely grateful to you for what you hatj&^Che, and are doing, in my behalf. (Editorial in The Newberry Observer of June 20) ■ r A Good Man for the Job One of the campaign placards of C. E. Saint-Amand, Newberry’s candidate in the race for the solicitorship of the Eighth Judicial Circuit, reads: “A good man is Saint- Amand—for Solicitor.” Newberrians know what this means. They know that he is a man of ability, impeccable charac ter and untiring energy. They like his pleasing manners and admire him for his legal abilities. They know he has the qualifications to fill the office of solicitor, as they have seen distinct evidence of these qualifications in the twenty years in which he has practiced his profession. • However, Mr. Saint-Amand’s abilities extend beyond his legal qualifications. He has a pleasing nature that makes friends quickly, and holds them. While his profession keeps him busy, he is ever ready to help and assist in civic af fairs. He has served in many civic capacities in the com munity and has devoted a great deal of time to Scouting, realizing its worth to the youth of our day. Newberrians hope that the citizens outside the county will inquire into the life and abilities of her candidate, who can and will fulfill faithfully the duties of the office if elected. ★ . Neighbors Favor C. E. Saint-Amand At the beginning of the campaign, the voters of Ward No. 6, Newberry, S. C., assembled in the precinct meeting, endorsed Saint-Amand. Ward 6 is the home precinct, of C. E. Saint-Amand. Excerpts from that endorsement: “He is best known to those of us . . . his neighbors, who have had occasion to observe his daily life among us . . . will represent the peo ple of Abbeville, Greenwood, Laurens and Newberry fairly and justly . . . endorse the candidacy of Mr. Saint-Amand wholeheartedly . . . and go on record as recommending him to the voters of all the four counties without reservation.” Signed, W. W. Whelan, Secretary of Ward 6 Precinct. VOTE JULY 8th
