Two years ago I announced
that I would not again be a candidate
for the office of Supervi-!
sor. This declaration I have F
reconsidered at the earnest request
of my friends and supporters
of other campaigns, and
also of many of those who voted ?
against me in the last election.'
These requests for me to stand j
for Supervisor have come from '
many sources and from all ]t
parts of the county, and be- f(
lieving I would be derelict in tl
my duty as a citizen if I with-, j
held my name, I have deter-,

Mr John Scott Howie breathec
out his life last Saturday after
noon about three o'clock. He
had been in rather bad health
for a number of years, being
a sufferer from asthma, tie tx
came really ill some days age
and gradually grew worse until
he went away. He was buried
at the Baptist cemetery Sundaj
; afternoon in the presence of a
' goodly gathering of friends and
relatives.
Mr Howie was born in Darling
ton county fifty-five years ago,
About twenty years ago he
came to this section, where he
remained till his death. His
wife, who survives him, was
Miss Rebecca J Rollins, of. Lake
Swamp, Darlington. To then;
were born nine children, sever
of whom are now among us
Fortunately for the widowed
mother and the children two oi
the sons are grown.
Mr Howie was a quiet, law
abiding citizen. He was a kinc
neighbor and one of the first tc
lend a helping hand to those ir
distress. He did whatever hit
hands found to do and in th<
manner that seemed best to him
He raised a large family an<
he reared them that not one
gave him cause to be ashamed.

home. When these things cap j

A Letter From Texas.
Editor County Record:?
Please Allow me space in your
* valued paper to say a few words
? in behalf of my native State and
thp recention accorded me on
I my visit there after an absence
? of 47 years. A great deal of my
r time while there I spent witn
i my brother at Taft, S. C., and I
had a most pleasant time with
. him reverting to old times and
I recounting incidents of the bygone
days of happy childhood.
, While at Taft Mr W D Bryan
"r largely contributed to the pleas'
ure of my visit.
I then went over to Florece
J county to visit my nephews and
f neices there and I must say that
the warmth of the welcome extended
me transcended all ex*
pectation. It was a continuous
J ovation from the time I
1 reached there until my departure.
I visited the town of Flor*
ence and the town of Marion and
also went to quaint old George[
j town. In the latter place I saw
J some shad for the time in 47
. J years.
I took occasion to visit the
51 graves of my father and mother,
I hotb of whom lie huried at old
'T Hebron church, where I beard
T my first sermon preached when
a little boy. It was through
r the kindly aid of my cousin, W
5 R Singletary, that we located

I nothing standing to mark the
site of the old homestead.
Thanking you for the space,
