TO THE PEOPLE OF COLLETON COUNTY: WHILE COLLETON COUNTY HAD TWO MEN IN THE RACE FOR CONGRESS I MADE PRACTICALLY NO EFFORT THERE. I FELT THAT THE VOTE OF THE PEOPLE OF COL LETON SHOULD RIGHTFULLY BE GIVEN TO ONE OF HER SONS. BUT NOW IT IS DIF FERENT. I APPEAL TO YOU MOST EARN ESTLY AND AS AN INDICATION OF THE ESTEEM IN WHICH I AM HELD BY THE PEO PLE OF CHARLESTON. WHERE I AM BEST KNOWN I WISH TO SAY THAT I RECEIVED YESTERDAY PRACTICALLY AS MANY VOTES AS ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES COMBINED, INCLUDING TWO CHARLESTON MEN. THIS IS ALL THAT I WILL SAY FOR THE PRESENT. (Signed.) E. W. HUGHES. i
