Editor The Advertiser: i understand report is being cir culated to the effect that I am not a citizen of Laurens county, und I have been advised to take this method of Stopping the report, it) order that those who do not know tue personally may not be led to believe that I am at tempting to impose my candidacy up on the* people <>! a county in which 1 have not the right t<> claim citizen ship. I am a citizen of Laurens county; I was bora und roared in Dials town ship, ami a I (ho ugh I secured my col it ge education at Wofford college, in Spartanhurg, I never thought myself In any other light than as a citizen of Laurens county, during the four years ' was at Wofford. I came from Wof ford back to Gray Court to take the position of principal of the school in Which I hail been prepared for col lege, and gave up that position last summer to go Into newspaper work. It is true that 1 have Interest outside the county and that I spend some of the time each week looking after that interest, but I do not consider that that deprives me of the right of cttl- I zenship in this, my native county, i I spend the greater part of my time in Laurens. lor the reason that 1 feel my work here needs me tin; greater' part of the time. Other men have in terests outside their home county, and they are allowed to look after their interests without being deprived the right of citizenship in the county in which they live, and I consider that I have the same right. I have never thought of casting un vote in any other county than Laurens. ?and a reference to the Democratic primary roll of Dials township will be suillcient evidence that my voting pre cinct has always beeil In Dials. I am making the race for the house of representatives from Laurens coun ty, because I consider that, as a clti /. -ii of this county. I have that right, and because I believe I can represent Laurens in a manner that will bo most satisfactory to those who love her ? best interests. Trusting that this will be sufficient to explain my position to those who seem not to understand, ami thanking you for tills courtesy, I am Yours very truly. ,T. Archie Willis. Laurens, s. C?
