which to secure his election to the
Sujk rvisor's office.^ ^
Mr. M«H>re charged Mr. Griffin *

MORE PLEDGES NOT FILED.
It appears that Candidate J. 0.
Griffin was not the only candidate rot
to file a last expense account prior
to the second primary. Referen e
to these on file in the Clerk’s office
shows that' besides Mr. Griffin,
neither P. M. Buckner nor A. A.
Patterson, Jr., candidates for audi
tor, filed expense accounts, nor did
P. D.. Rhode, candidate for coronor.

Cottageville, Sept. 14,—Special:
An fmpo.tant question, What part
shall the tax-payer take in the law
suit now pending in the courts in
reference to the contract in digging
the well in Walterboro? A temporary
injunction has been granted through
the efforts of Attorney Tracy, em
ployed by W. R.Thackston. While
Mr. Thackston, was criticised by Mr.
Moore as being a small tax-payer,
yet the burden of taxes is much
greater on this class of citizen for
they are the least able to pay it.
The tax-payers of Colleton who
endorse the step taken should come
to his relief and hdfp pay attorney’s
fees to those attorneys who will con
tinue this case in the Circuit court
to test its legality. Enclosed please
find $5. toward this fund. I am quite
sure other subscriptions will .follow

MR SMITH CANDIDATE
READING CLERK.
FOR
Hon D L Smith has yielded to *
the importunitiee of hie friends in
Colleton and other counties and has -•
decided to become a candidate for
Reading Clerk of the House of ’
Representatives. Mr Smith’s friends
believe he will have no trouble im
being elected to this responsible
position. His experience in polities
and his intimate acquaintance with
the old members of the House fit
him for this race, andi^will be safe
to predict that the winner will have
to reckon on his chancei.
•
Mr Smith was county treasurer
frbm 1900 to 1907, and was s mem
ber of the House of Representatives
from this county for the term juat
closed. He would doubtless par-'
form the duties of this office with
ability and credit.
