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.

We beg leave t < ? place In-fore the Dem

REBUILDING SALE
AT
Hirsch Bros. & Go's.
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
