Cross 11111, S. C., April IT, 19116. To the Voters of Laurens County: At the solicitation of many friends to make the race for sheriff and hav ing made my announcement, I feel it is my duty, not only to myself, but to the people of Laurens county, to give some account of my record for the last eight years. Nearly eight years ago I accepted the position of )eputy In surance 'Commissioner fot' South Caro lina, which position I now hold to the satisfatcion of the State. My work for the State has been along the same line of work as that of a sheriff and the fact that I have given the State satis faction justifies the conclusion that I can better serve the people of Laurens county than I can the whole state: The solicitors of the State are in a position to judge the elllciency of my work, as all cases investigated by me are in their hands. These officers have trom time to time written the insur ance Com in issioner in regard to the character of my work and these let ters were turned over to mue at a time when I was not considering making the race for sheriff. As a matter of in formation to the people of Laurens clotnly I give below some extracts from said letters: "Kingstree, S. C. ".\Mr. It. .\. Wharton has worked up several cases in my circuit.
