Upon thc eve ot the first primary el- ' ectlon, I am Informed that the most fuaudcrous statements and mlsrepre- , aentations were made agaln&t Ute. I do not-chango my opponent wltb th? rosponsibillty of these sist?menle, but I know that thoy were put In circula tion and circulate by friends of my opponent?. I hare not heard o* a single Instance r 4? V4!M 9 - ?tfil ?bore any friend of mine had iaaued or j made one remark derogatoty to the| t audidacy of one of my opponents, un fairly, and nothing can be truthfully charged against me or them on that s co re. i j My campaign has been and will bo , conducted on a high plane. Nqtwith- , standing the satetnents and talse hoodB, they have failed to defeat mei and I am satisfied that such campaign : methods will not only not be. tolerated, ? but will be resented by a large major- ' Itv ot the fair minded people or the Third District. 1 I urge my friends and the voters of ! thia district to nay no attention .to those slanderou reports, and false hoods circulated against me at the laat moment. In conclusion I will say that it la true that I failed to carryr my bpme county, but aa to personal I chara .1er, reputation, honesty and in tegrlty, I cheerfully reier the Voters of thia district to arty banker, merchant or reputable cttlr?>n of the'town or county .of Newberry, whether he be my personal or political friend or not. ami if he answers truthfully, am) t bslievp ? he will, I have no fears or ajrprentn slqn os to his reply.

AU I ask; all I demand, Is a square deal, an honest count, an honest tabu I lotion, an honest declaration of the result. When I am given that.
