A Message To The Voters Of Newberry County My Dear Friends: • : •' 7 ' ' - •• vA - < *v : if t. ¥ • ■■ ■ '••■:• vj (••'<? r '• , " s •' * •• '/•'•v * * Eight years ago I made you certain definite promises and I have I shall always be grateful for the confidence you showed i pi f me your ohenn. !! ■ I i You will agree with me that successful experience is a vital asset in any profession. I have 27 years of experience in the office, 16 as your Sheriff and 11 as a Deputy. My force of four Deputies have from seven to 20 years in law enforcement. I have always tried to be fair to all, dealing out justice with mercy. II am proud of the fact that every Grand Jury presentment has commended mv office for having cases fully prepared and all witnesses promptly on hand so as to expedite the work of the court and save money for our taxpayers. We have very seldom had a “No Bill” handed out by a Grand Jury. This shows that we had a bona-fide case before the defendant was ever brought into court. We have always answered every call promptly. Our efficient two-way radio enables us to answer a call in a section of the County where there is an offi cial car, in just a few minutes after we receive it. In our modern age we could not operate successfully without this system. I • . x ’ I know of only one way to fight crime and that is by eternal vigilance. With only four Deputies in a County of 40 square miles and a population of 32,- 000,1 am willing for you to decide whether we have a good county as to law and order. It is worthy of our pride that we have had i|o unsolved murder cases in our county during the many years I have been connected with the Sheriff’s office. I do not claim all the credit because experienced and comp etent Deputies also play a vital part in this work. I have acted promptly on all complaints that have come to my office. With very, very few exceptions these have all been corrected. But in every case I have given my best effort and what more could be expected of any one? Most of you know that I was born in Newberry county and have lived here all my life except for the three years I served in the United States army over seas in World War I. I wish that I could have seen personally every one of you but this I just could not do. So now I come to the press and radio to put my candidacy before you. If you re-elect me I make you only one promise: I will continue to give you a sober, energetic and efficient administration. TOM M. FELLERS Candidate for Re-Election For Sheriff of Newberry County.
