LAWRIMORE SAYS
NEVER, NO MORE
Told The People The Truth,
Yet They Voted for the
Other Fellow
ONLY THREE FROM *
WHICH GET TWO
Lawriraore Says He Would Not
Consent After Being Out
in First
W. D. Lawrimore, who would
have been a candidate in the second
primary for House if Representatives,
said last Saturday that he
would not consent to Hin in the
second primary, after Carter was
declared out, for the reason that
he had gone around on the camnaifrn
and told the neonle the truth.
He states that he told them plainly
that the stock law was here to
stay and that no one they mifflu
send would be able to change it.
Notwithstanding this, he say?.
they nearly all voted for the other
man, and if he had entered the
second race it might have caused
some x t viie ?e same voters to cast
their ballot for him when they
really did not want to do so. Tho
names on tho ticket for this second
primary, the unofficial returns of
which, appear in this week's paper,
was vncertain for sometime as it was
not known whether Lawrimore's
name would continue in it or not.
It l\x T>eJ\rs that he refu eii to all >\v
his rume to appear on the ticket
any further.

WOTIGE TO TEACHERS"
AND TRUSTEES
Tho flnncrfll A?sr>mhlv nnwsrvl n
law last winter which made a radical
change in the- certification of
teachers. All teachers' certificates,
now in existence, must be sent to
the State Boaru ot Examiners in
Columbia for registration. The
names of all touchers who taught in
Hoiry County last year have been
sent to this Board. In a few day*
you will receive a letter of instructions
from the B'ard and a blank
which must be filled cut and returncd
with your certificate and
summer school credits or diploma.
A state certificate will be issued
on the credentials that you now
hold. Blanks can also be obtained
from my ort'icj but it will be
best for you to deal directly with
the Board in Columbia. It is important
that you attend to this at
once as no tcacher's contract is
valid until she has a state certificate.
Because of the great shortage of
tcaehcrs, the State Board of Education
has made a rule for this year
only that persons who desire to
teach and wbo have no certificate
may be granted a county license by
the, State Board of Examiners, provided
that the County Superintendent
of Education, at the request
of the trustees, asks for this license.
Of course this request is
dependent upon the applicant for
license having the proper qualifications
for teaching.
M. J. Bullock,
Co. Supt. of Education.
replyWking
to g. m. anderson
I ask space to reply to C. M.
Anderson. I wish to say for his
benefit that when a man asks the
support of the people for a public
office that he may as well expect
that the people will discuss his
qualifications and they have the
right to pass judgment upon him.
They did this with C. M. Anderson.
I refuse to become responsible
for the ideas or talk of all of my
friends. says that it had been
his desire to run this campaign on
a high plane, while, according to
his statement in the paper, he failed
entirely. Perhaps it was owing
to his nature that he could not do !
so and he makes the direct charge
that the report was put out by mo
and my friends. This is a deliberate
falsehood out of whole cloth and
[lone with malicious intent. I will
ask him to name by whom he can <
prove it. He canihot prove it by '
any honest man I am sure, and t <
[Icinand that he will bring him up ]
[\nd lets see how he looks. He i
would certainly look like Charles
:>r some of his equals. I, myself i
have made no campaign whatever I
und have told people that I did not 1
want the place and only ran on the
request of some of the best people
>f the district. Those who sup- ?
ported me have done so without so-; }

PASTIME SECURES
BiS FEATURE PICTURE
The Pastime Theater has secure*1
one^of the best feature pictures
that has ever been produced, and it
will appear here on the 22ud day of
September.. The picture is a grea-t
success because the star in it is
William Farnum, who hav the reputation
of being the greatest actor
alive today who is performing; almost
entiiely in the silent drama.
The feature picture in which he
will appear here on the day above
i 11 I'd is i!'\r?:<led on the novo!
written by Victor Hugo entitled
"Les M isei ables," one of the greatest
books of fiction ev?r prod <oed
and it has been read, and re-r ad,
and published in nearly every language.
Fainum . represents Jean
Valjean in this picture, tlie man
who tried to live dewn a prion s( n
lenee, and all those who have nearl
the stcry will understand at once
just how interesting a story of this
kind can be typified on the screen
by William Farnum.
limitation on my part and I am noV
writing this as Charles did, for a
design, nor for any political efTect.
Of course, the election will be over
before this appears and I am only
replying to his charge and asking
him that when he may be defeated
again not to give vent to his feelings.
or at least not publish them to
all the people.
Respectfully,
