that the county had a sinking fund of

Mr. West took Issue with him at Ahliey

misrepresentation. Mr. Ktrklcy .stated
that he got his inforiiiatloii from The
Chronicle. Persons of ordinary intel

Chronicle's statement. The $+0,000
sinking fund cannot be used, and only

be used for roads and bridges. We

Men eoiilieeted with the lieWHpUptiV
business in Sou.1 h ? Carolina are prob
ably glad that the political campaign
is drawing to a close. If the fellow
who holds down the editorial job ex
presses a political opinion the politi
cians all got uiad and "cuss" out the
editor. If lie falls to express an opin
ion these men say lie Is a coward aud
hasn't the con race of his convictions.
So the fellow at the desk gets it coin
ing and gointr. If the ncwspa|>er man
is worth Ids suit, he inevitably ex
presses Ids opinion, with the result that
lie is always being criticised and con
demned. and he is lrcncrally glud when
the politicians take a back seat and

ed the voters to east Fheir ballots for
the one they thought best qualified to
till the position ? not to vote for or
aganist him because be had heht the
otlice for ten yearn. That he had
handled the office for ten years and
stood on his record as being compe
tent. Said that he toad taken care of
the county's money and had at. all
times had money on hand. That many
claims had been' presented to him that
he had turned down because he thought
they were nnjn,st. He had been sued
several times but ball only lost one
suit, and that on a technicality, and he
believed till, now the county bad no
right to pay the claim. Compared the
office with others saying that there
was no end to the work. Compared
the roads with those of ten years ago.
Took occasion to correct a misleading
statement published by his opponent,
D. M. Kirk Icy. In The Chronicle, and
warned the voters Mint if a man would
mislead you In one thing be would mis
lead you in another. Referred anyone
to bis books at any time. Said that
whatever was said about him that he
had been the supervisor and had been
dictated to by no one.
