TO THE VOTERS OF BARNWELL COUNTY: Statements having been circulated throughout the County during the present campaign that the Supervi sor’s office has been issuing checks for’ claims that have never been filed in the office, and that irregularities exist in the office which show a dishonest administration of the office during my incumbency, 1 feel that in justice to myself it is due to the voters th^t they should have correct information as to my record as Supervisor. Mr. S. E. Wylie, Special Auditor for the Comptroller General, has made an audit of the books in the Su pervisor's office along ^rtth the other offices in the County, and In hie re port U the Comptroller General, dated th# Iftth knot , he states -| took op the and A sag nf the took* of Rnmwofl Cliff Ht? t*h and ssnka a * artful cheek Sag nf aff vouchee* end arsine tee a pneual m4 •«*» f ten hegtamp half let. thth «gsd r- f-g Assn* n m I aim sen a «uv* sanfleal. nskedhiff hidf tel hs hkhf MM MM fhhr sn esneeuM ffhs aBme *e * rr« i ~ - < « nMaeanamu rhaasu ’hanho sag hnoeel geahi # 0,1^ -Tg MtorfMNMi #MM # ^ MtMih# < I—ie inn m«— ei Mem ssgm ■pi j n»o» Hup M» pena# •r oi m ' *» oa«oo esoo nveese s* • % t i.a*dMNMh t •« h t VMm «• sh# a t ceat « i p ata ra a at * s n* <v—• AlwnMug m> agaenpamneme sea h.7 u. r-o, . . o- v I ffAdh' M MtoMh tl •# tto^MMMiMM mMmm " ’^Mm sMmMm Mi. riiM %• ftA.

( eunty Supervisor (Political advertisement i #eo . . ^ The fact that hull weevils thrive better when it’s wet is not a very good argument for the anti-prohibi- tionists. On account of the absence of drink ing water at Sunny Plain schoolhouse, the opening meeting in the Calhoun County political campaign was chang ed to the Crider-Rucker mill pond. Gosh, those fellows over there must be thirsty! u »'♦ — Prior to 1914, newsprint paper could be bought in ton lots for 2% cents per pound. A recent quotation placed it at 16 cents per pound in like quantities—more for smaller amounts increase of about 600 per cent. And yet the two local papers continue to eell their product for $1.60 a year! Time far the feei kflier la rams vuaad. port unity la meet my fellow ett taeaa of Heath Carolina face ta face and give them an account of my stewardship in Washing ton, I have determined to issu? this address to the people. I have been a. farmer all my life and in common with the far. mers I have had a struggle to make ends meet and I have no large fund at my service that permits me to s^nd others from place to place advocating my re-election to the senate. If re elected it must be upon my re cord alone. V In consideration of the ser vices-rendered by me to the agricultural interests of my State and the South, I was elec ted to the senate twelve years “hgo. On every occasion I have stressed with all the force in me legislation for the benefit of the agricultural interests. Briefly referring to some of the measures which I have advo cated and had passed in the in terset of the agnruHwre! class es are- Agrirahees (II Bmith Cal* tea Futures Act. pete sat mg the mm et pvtme by the lea. While this Commute* | 4 the lack of growth of the com. me its of the Southern porta In comparison with the Eastern and Northern porta was not due to natural causes but the dis crimination of the railroads in their rates to the various ports and the discrimination of the government in the matter of ap propriations for dry docks and harbor improvements since the Civil War. The country does not realize that the government in the last 50 years has expend ed for naval stations and har bor improvements north of Hat- teras, a distance of roughly 750 miles, nearly $700,000,000, while south of Hatteras, a distance of over 2,000 miles, only $70,000,- 000. The North Atlantic has 18 dry docks; the South Atlantic and Gulf has one, a small one. at Charleston. During the past session of Congress two bills were introduced by Republican Senators which would dtacon- tmue the appropriation for the deepening <>f the choanal at ChaHealoa. and the rinatrmllmi •f a Headoas dry dark at • fxj Western eeritewe inn of about 900 per com measures spelled the financial (•mancipation of the South. While the Federal. Reserve Bank measure was pending, I realized that for the Act to have a direct benefit for the Agricul tural classes, agricultural paper must be recognized the same as commercial paper and that six months’ time should be given that paper as against thedOdays given commercial paper. It take 8 *ix months for the farmer to produce an asset to meet his liabilities and any shorter time than this period given his paper was a mockery of him. I intro duced and secured the incorpo ration in the law my amendment to Section 13, whereby agricult ural paper is made the basis for the issuance of Federal Reserve notes and is # given aix months' discount. While Chairman of the Immi- C rat ion Committee of the senate I introduced the bill and led the fight which resulted In-the pas sage of the Smlth-Bumett Ip- m*gratae* Law.

' (10) I am the author of the amendment to section 13 of the New Banking and Currency Act, whereby the farmers secured 6 months’ time on agricultural paper as against ninety days on commercial paper. This puts the farmer on an equal footing with other businesses and ena bles him to secure the proper credit for the holding and mar keting of his crop.

I might say that while ranking member of the l*« at off ter and Poet Rusti* Committee, I collaburatad and fought through with Senator Bankhead and other the Good Roads Act which appropriated $200,000,000 for the govern ment to co-operate with the States in the construction of good roads. The construction of good roads is one of the greatest needs which confront the people of this State as well as the country at large, and I pledge myself for the future as in the past to fight for any proper measure which will lead to the construction of better roads.
