Card Announcing Hia Candidacy for Re-election Appears in The People-Sentinel In this issue of The People-Senti nel will be found the formal announce ment of Congressman H. P. Fulmer as a candidate for re-election from the Second Congressional District. Two years ago Mr. Fulmer made his first race under the redistricting of the State and was easily re-elected over tbrmer Congressman A. Frank Lever, so that he hardly needs any further introduction to the people of Barnwell County. Mr. Fulmer prides himself over his accomplishments for the farmers of his district, although he also claims to be the “real daddy” of the Veter ans’ hospital at Columbia and also ha 8 worked untiringly in beholf of- ex- service men, Spsnish-American war veterans, their widows and orphans. Listed among his efforts in behalf of the farmers are his 'fight to impose a tax on jute in order to enhance the value of cotton and his successful fight to prevent the placing of a tax of $10.00 a ton on sulphate of am monia, which alcne saved the agricul turists thousands-of dollars.
