Mr. Smith Withdraws from Legislative Race To the people of Laurens County: Circumstances have so shaped themselves that it has become ne cessary for me to withdraw from the race for the Legislature. I re gret very much to do so at this time, bin the condition of my private affairs will be such this winter, that if elected, it would be impossible for me to attend the sessions of the Legislature without too great a sacrifice, and believing that a member should always be at bis post to watch Over the interest of his people, I withdraw now, so that I might not be in the way of you electing some who could serve you better than I could under the circum stances. I thank the people of Laurens County for the honors they have conferred on me in the past, and for the kindly feeling that has been tendered me from every sec tion of the county since my an nouncement.

The dtirtiubtion of this old building removes tno of tho m .-st remarkab'o, if net one of the oldest landmarks, in the county. It was built about 7f> yeat.. ago by Als-y Fuller, fa ther of Dv.

In its construction low country pine was used and so carefully was tho ma terial salectcd that no* a single piece of colling,llooringor weatherboardtng con taining a knot was permitted to be put .Ii the building. Tho toof was of drawn red heart poplar shingles and it lasted about sixty years luo houso was a large two story building and tho rooms were twerty feet square, (ho ce'ling aud flooring of which is said to have, been without a joint ?3 well as with out a knot. Another remark<?b'c oiroumstanoe related in conuojtion with this old and unique bouro is the faol that never a death ol any oro occurred within its wa'ls. Mr. Fuller, who built it, expired suddenly in his storo, throe of his sons were lulled in battle during tho War Between the Sta'es and Mrs. Fuller, then a widow, becoming suddenly 111, died while absent from home. It has always b^en occupied, and up until a fow years ago by somo member of the Fuller family.
