To tbe people of S'armer County : I desire to express my heartfelt gratitude for the flattering vote given me by the peo? ple. I have faithfully doae my duty to all of the people of the State, but Sumter enjoys some peculiar advantages secured by one, oot&bly the transfer of C- L and small packages at Camden Junction, ooing all that I could to oobottle Sumter by letting io South Carolina R. R as a competitor. I bad tbe yard around depot graded and a shed added to the depot. I have given prompt at? tention to every complaint coming into the office I know bow'to serve the people In the intricate business of making rates. I koow that I can better serye my people than an in? experienced stranger. The great majority of the voters of this county were my bitter antagonists some years ago. Ido the more appreciate their votes, tbe magnanimity which prompted them to give mr their sup? port. I beg for rxyself your continued sup? port, and on ny part promise renewed efforts in your service and tbat Sumter shall not feel ashamed of me. Very truly, H. R. THOMAS. A CARD. Mr. Editor : Please give me space io your columcsto express my warm thanks for the handsome vote given my legislative candida? cy in tbe recent Democratic primary election.

I remain very respectfully, MCDONALD FURMA.V Ramsey, Privateer Township, Sep 6, 1898 A Card from Mr Mc Matt an. Mr. Editor:-Please ailow me space in your columns to express my thanks to tbe people of Sumter County for their splendid support of me on tbe 30th ult. I wish to assure tbem of m 7 appreciation of their confidence and of my purpose to merit it The earnest and un? selfish support which the people of the State bav? given me, touches my heart and inten? sifies my desire to serve them worthily. I shall be grateful to all wbo may aid me in 'the second primary, it matters not bow they voted in the fir6t. Having beeo an edu? cator rather than a politician, I was un? known to many who may yet learn that I am the kind of man they want for the work of superintending the school system of the State I urge my friends and well-wishers to go to the polls on tbe 13th, and vote and work for me. I have promised that my elec tiou shall mean better schools in South Caro lim. Ifl fail to fulfill my promise I shall be worse disappo oted than those that have supported me; for I recognize that success in the work :hat I have outlined for myself will earn me the love and gratitude of my fellow cit z^ns-the greatest thing a man can strive for ?ext to tbe approval of God. Respectfully, JOHN J. MCWAHAN. Colombia, S. C , Sept. 3, 1898 A Letter From Mr. Sanders Mr. Editor: Please allow me, through the columns of your paper, to thank my friends throughout the county, for tbeir very literal snpport in the rpceut primary. I assure them that I cheerfully bow to the will of the a ?Jori?? as expressed last Tuesday. Of course I feel, somewhat, the chagrin ol de? feat, but it is tempered and mellowed with the satisfaction of knowing that we bad a pleasant campaign de-oid ot' unpleasantness of any kind, a fair election and, above all things, tbat the v ctors are raen of high char? acter and ability and abundantly able to guard tbe interest of Sumter County io the Legislature. I think I know tbe cause or cdu??es tbat ied to my defeat, bat it is needless to discuss them now, suffice it to say, tbat the Almighty never intended me for a politi? cian, for I have never yet learned the art of holding my tongue or pen when I felt it my duty to give an honest expression of meo and measures. There is no office io the gift of the people, that I would have at a sacrifice of principle or of my honest conviction of what I believed was right. I have been ac? tively identified with Sumter County politics for the past twelve years and during that time the people have been very kind and gen? erous to me-far more possibly than I de? served, but I bare never jost sight of the fact that they were the masters and tbe officials their servants. For six years I have bad the honor of representing them in tbe L?gislature and I realized then, as I do now, tb>*t "a public office w-s a public trust" and I tried, on all occasions, whether io the ball of tbe House of Representatives or out of it, to dis? cbarge mv duty fearlessly and conscientiously and, at all ti j es, to uphold the dignity and honor of Sumter County. Whttber 1 sue ceedei or not, I am willing to leave i* to my colleagues and other members of the Legisla? ture to 8*y. In ali of the campaigns tbat I ever participated in I bave done so strictly on my merits as a man and a citizen. I have never had anything to do with forming "elates;" have never entered into a combina? tion with any man or set cf men anti bave never depended on being dragged ioto office swinging to tbe coat tail of any one. To my opponents I b*ve always oe?n fair and just and have never "struck below tbe belt." Before every primarv my position bas been made p!ain to tbose I thought bad any claims on me and after tbe "6moke of battle" I have never had any one to come to me with the complaint: "You (ltd not do for me what you promised." I have clean hands and a clear conscience along that line WbiJe I have been defeated my heart beats to-day as true to my people aod country as it ever did and I am honest when I say that I do not cherish any titterns-is or bard feelings to? wards any ooe I can never forget the good people ot this grand old county of ours for the honor, trust and cotficeoce heretofore conferred on me and witn a grateful and ap preciative benrt I return to them my sincere thanks 'io my friends especially ?ho have always stool up to me so loyally, I can aol find words to give adequate expression to the sentiments tbat now overcrowd me. I beg to assure them that while hfe lasts and I am capable of appreciating what tb.-y have done for mein the past I Will ever bold tbem in grateful remembrance I d.? Lot k ow what the luture has in store for me, politically or Otherwise, and there.ore, I am not prepared to deliver my farewell address yet, but vi hetber I enter again the ireua as a candi? date or not, I prom se the people to ever re? main a factor io politics, working always for the jp-buildine of my country and people and ever striving to maintain honest, capable and efficient men in the public offices Prom my earliest youth I have always taken a great interest in polnus; I tn joy the excitement oj a campaigo, I er jjy ?.he einow touch which a public man has to keep wi:h the sentiment of the people; I have never asked for an office of emoluments and do not know whether I would erjoy that or not but I do know that 1 have enjoyed the honor of representing the bravest and most geuerous people on earth In conclusion, I neg to assure my friends that, whether I am a caodidnte again or not, I will "continue to do business at the same old stand" where tbey can always fini Le, ready and willing at all times to render them 1 any service in my power. Again extending roy heartfelt thanks for the honors heretofore | conferred and hoping i J my private walk lo I continue to merit the coi fi dence and good j will of my fellow citiZ3us I am, very j respectfully, A. K. SANDKRJ. I Hagcod.'S. C. Sept. 3, 1893. 1 Appreciative Maine Soldiers. From an interesting account of the trip of the First Maine Regiireot from Cbickamouga to Maine, written by a member of tbe regi? ment for the Lewiston, Me , Journal, tbe following extract is mad? as it will be of in? terest to the readers of The Daily Item: "At Sumter, S. C., we met with the warmest of welcomes The platform waa crowded with pretty girls, and mothers and brothers, each wita something for the sol? diers. Sandwiches, milk, coffee, saltines and even cigarettes were banded up to every I window. The little girls bad armfuls of roses, almost sparkling witb tbe morning dew, and witb these they showered the win? dows where no face appeared, aod they knew that back of tbe sill lay soire poor heartsick laddie fight ng for bis life. The conductor whom wt took on there sato there were just two places in South Carolina where Southern hospitality reaches its bright. . The first is Charleston," he explained, "and Soi ter comes next IQ Cb-irlestoo there is nothing too good for the soldiers." Now, perhaps, tbe cood actor knows whereof be speaks. I have never met QJiarlss ton iu a martial way, out this mucb I thoroughly belieTe: If Charleston is going to outdo Sumter she must get up early ia tbe morning and work as folk have never work? ed before.
