I hereby announce that I am a candi date for tho office of Sheriff of Kershaw County, vn> ject to the rules of the Dem ocratic primary, and solicit the endorse ment of the voters for that position. Very Respectful I v, \V. U. Nelson. We take great pleasure in announcing again for the otlice of Kheritf of Kershaw Countv, the present incumbent, Mr. li. lb Williams, subject to the rules of the approaching Democratic I'rimarv elec tion. Tlri* important, ofllee should al ways command the time and services of our best citizen*. We think it safe to say that no county in the state has ever had a more zealous and efficient officer than Mr. Williams has made during his administration. Ilia public career exem plifies the principle upon which he acts, that a public otllcer is a public servant. Always kind and obliging to the public, impartial, fear less and conscientious in the. discharge of bis duties, ami now possessing that valuable experience which is so necessa ry to the faithful and satisfactory admin istration! of the affairs of this otlice we feel in making this announcement that , Mr. Williams is entitled to the nfl'.ce and hope that our sentiment will meet the approval of the voters of the county, Kershaw county cannot do better thai, reward this estimable gentlemen and fiithful servant by re-electing him to an office to which he has devoted his best thought and energy and which he has tilled so acceptably and creditably. Many Voters. Mr Kditor! ? Heleivtng in that old democratic principle of rotation in of fice. and of giving honor to whom honor is due, with this principle alone in view we would like to present the name <-f one whom in his man'y way has con ducted himself in such a manner that should merit the office of Sheriff of Ker shaw County. The one of whom we speak has for several years served the public in an honorable and tearless msn ner. lie served the eountv several years as deputy sheriff making several arrests of vast importance, some of which his own life was endangered. Hut w ith that stern idea of irointr where duty -alls, he even under the protest of his friends, went ahead and made tin* arrest. The one of whom we speak is Mr.tyJ. Fletcher l.ateman. Fletcher for months pntst has been on the constabulary force where he has Worked himself up to the position of chief over men who had served years before him. We are proud and we believe that we voice the senti ment of many ot the county that t h i t young man has kindly consented f?r tis to present to the public bis name as a candidate for sheriff. Wo niont cordial ly solicit the support of the Democratic party in the coming primary election in In-half of unu whom we know will make the county a sheriff to be proud of. Many Voters of West Wateree. Mr. F.ditor: I hereby announce my self as a candidate for the office of Sher iff of Kershaw County, subject to the rules of the Democratic party. If elect ed 1 will give to the office my best ser vice. J. S. Trantham. We beg leave t < ? place In-fore the Dem ocratic voters of Kershaw County, the name of J. Frank West, for the office of sheriff. Having known Mr. West since boyhood days and ever found him true and zealous as to duty and of unques tionable veracity, to know him best is to appreciate him most. (laving the ?|Ual ilication necessary to make a ijood sliei iff, we respectfully ask the support of the voters of Kershaw county. Many Voters. To. the voters of Kershaw County : ? I am a candidate for Sheriff subject to the primary election.

As our business has increased from year to je^r, we are crowded in our present cpiarters and we have decided to tear down our old store building and rebuild much larger. We are compelled to move in the next fifteen days; before moving.' we have decided to make a big cut in prices in e\^y department. 20 Per Cent. Discount On every dollar's worth of Goods you buy at Ilirscli Bro3. & Co's for the Cash. REMEMBER, you can get one dollars worth of goods for eighty cents, five dollars worth for lour doll us, ten dollars worth for eight dollars, etc. We can save you from 20 to f>0 per cent, on any goods that you need Jit present or in the future as our present stock was bought before the advance in price. You all know that goods J will be much higher later on, and 25 percent, higher next Fall, so ''this will be your greatest opportunity to buy Brand New, First Class, Stylish Goods at less than old prices. THE LARGEST STOCK OF DRY GOODS, CLOTHING, SHOES, HATS AND CAPS ! GENTS' FURNISHING GOODS, ETC. To select from at prices lower than the lowest, as our stock must be closed out before moving to our new store as we don't intend to carry a dollar's worth of our present stock into our new 'store, stock will be closed out at a great sacrifice during the rebuilding, so call early and otten, and secure ths best bar gains. Yours Respectfully, I Hirsch Bros. & Co. | To My Friends & Patrons: -X 1* ! This is tho beginning of another season with cotton at 4 and v 5 cents per pound. This means cheap goods or no sale. I j j have got the goods and they have got to lie sold and as I have ~ (always said I never allow any one to undersell me, the money iis what I want and that I am going to have if you come in my ! store. I have a big stock as usual, fresh and nice; never have any old stale stock. FRESH GOODS coming in every day. I went in business in 1891 when cotton """" ! was about I he same prices it is now and I am still here doing my share; .some predicted that I would not pull through that season. Low priced cotton don't frighten me, I have gone through a hotter battle than this. I sold iny goods ^for such smalt profits, I find that it pays to make small profits anrfgiiick sales. I have kept it up and don't want to changa it. jj will say to those who have stores in the country to come in and I . will divide the profits with you as have alweye dc ne. business irises may tell you they carry a larger stock thati 1 do, you can say to them yon get more for a dollar AT HINSON'S than you get from them, it makee^but little difference to you how much stock ther carry.
