I TRAXLER TALKS HORSE SENSE TO THE VOTERS t i REFUSES TO MAKE UNFAIR OR V INDECENT CAMPAIGN ? A (Political Advertisement) This is a personal letter addressed ' to every voter in this congressional 1 district. The newspaper is not pub- 1 lishing it free, nor am I sending it 1 out in a government envelope as f official business. I am paying for it 1 with my own money, money that I ' worked hard to get. * ( I believe the average man is fair. 1 The man who thinks everybody else is a crook is pretty apt to a crook * himself. ! When that statesman who is known < to you all as "Joe" Johnson resigned his seat in congress, there was part < of a term to fill out. Sam Nicholls 1 was elected to fill out that term. He 1 got a majority of only 684 votes, out 1 of nearly 19,000 votes cast. He prom- ' ised to do many things if the people would elect him. I ask you now in all fairness what ' he has done. Can you, as a fair minded man, point to one single beneficial , thing he has done for his district, his * State or his country? I will not attack his personal char- 1 acter in public speeches, private talks \ ^ or the press. A man should be a gen- ' tleman before trying to be a congress- ' man, and if I can not get the office ' without stooping to that sort of cam- v paign I will do without it. I But surely, by all the rules of 0 courtesy, I may state this fact that I v everybody knows Nicholls has done | * absolutely nothing. He has sent out; 1 free seed, and he has sent many let- 1 - ters to you all here at home, all at v government expense, but that is all he has done. ' If you did not vote for him before, what reason have you to vote for him ' now? He is the same old Sam J. Nicholls. If you did vote for him , before, thinking he would accomplish something, what has he done to justify 1'' your faith and earn your vote this 1 year? I A man who cannot, does not or will '' not make good on a job has no right j to ask to be hired again. In a democ- a racy, where public servants?servants 11 of the people, are elected by the people, the whole responsibility of gov- a ernment rests on the people. ' When a new man offers his services, the matter of hiring him is much like getting married. It is taking a long chance; no one knows what a new v man will do in office or what sort of ' biscuit a bride will make. But after a man has been on the job ' for a number of years or a number of months, and has done nothing, what " in the name of common sense is the excuse for reelectin ghim? You, the voters, are the bosses. We, the candidates, wish to be ser- *' vants. Judge of our ability to serve v by what we have accomplished in the s past. Very sincerely. * David B. Traxler. ? i> ATTENTION DEMOCRATS. Otlicial Schedule and Itinerary of the ; State Congressional.

Jonesville las no communication except from Spartanburg to Carlisle. So about ;he only way to get beyond these joints would be by a Zeppelin or subnarine. In August, 1852, there was ;he biggest rain and freshet known to ,his country, except the June cloud jurst in 1906 and that was principally >n the Pacolet and Thijkety rivers ind it only lasted a 3hort time. . The farmers a*re taking the situation with much patience and are conservative in their talks about their condition. R. A. Cooper, candidate for govsrnor, was here last Friday, uccordng to appointment, and met a? small lumber of the voters, to whom he nade an address, presenting his claims lor the gubernatorial office. Mr .Foster Mabrey, son of Mr. J. E. Vlabrey, of Indianapolis is visiting his 'ather. Mr. Davis Crawford of Columbia' is dsiting his mother, Mrs. Lou Craw'ord. I was very much pleased with the >oetry written by Mr. J. E. James of iVolf City, Texas., published in The Jnion Times. I konw Joe and know lim to be a capital man. Write again toe. I have a' cousin that is a good vriter as well as many others whose >ens are silent, which makes me think f a poem one William .T. Newberry vrote a good many years ago while erving a short sentence in Union or being on a drunk. I don't remem>er all the poem; wish I did, but one erse runs this way? 'here's many a poet dead methinks Who might have cut a caper, f he had taken pen and ink And put his thoughts on paper.

Mrs. J. H. Foster of Newman, Ga., * the guest of relatives in Jonesville. Mrs. Martha A. Knox of Inman is isiting relatives and friends in onesvflle. Several members of the Coast Artiljry company here have been called -> service at Camp Moore for recruitig officers. Mr. John Fowler, son of Mr. Jeter 'owler, who has been sick for someime and has had an operation perormed upon him at Spartanburg, is ery low at his home here and it eems that his recovery is very doubtul. Mr. Robt. Douglass of Alcolu, S. C., ? visiting relatives in Jonesville. Telephone. LOCKHART JUNCTION Lockhart Junction, July 17.?Well, he rain continues to come. There eems to be something besides the war o talk about now. It is the rain and igh water floods doing damage to the rops. All the low lands are covered ,'ith water. We have read of the high ater and damages in the West but : has come this way. Some crops re under water on the rivers and reeks. I guess all the bottom corn ? gone or ruined. That is a big loss, ut it is nothing like losing life as ,'e have read of in other States. So re are blessed, for I hear of no one etting drowned or washed away in he high water a'bout here. I hear today that Broad river at .ockhart Mills was higher than it has een for many years. The water at hat place was higher than it had een since the mill was built. It eached some of the dwelling houses, nd some had to leave their homes, 'hey moved out to higher places to et away from the water for fear tiey would be washed away. Some of the Jonesville boys who being to the Coast Artillery at Jonesille have been called to Camp Moore t Styx. These are Messrs. Walter lames, W. G. White, Ernest Mc/hirter, Albert GaTner, Coniey Kenrick, Albert McWhirter and Marvin 'owler. These will be recruiting ofcers. Mr. Boyd Smith, who lives on Paclet river, sold Mr. S. W. Vinson a ome-raised ham weighing 35 pounds; rought him $7.00. Mr. Smith has >st all of his com on the river, but as enough old corn to do him. That i making and laying by for the rainy ays. Mr. I.eander Proctor also sold a am to Mr. H. J. Hames that weighed 0 pounds; brought $6.00. This, I ke to write about. See these farmers la'king bread and meat at home and [>me to sell. I hear today that Mrs. J. B. Foster f Jonesville died suddenly yesterday lorning while at the breakfast table. Vo are sorry to hear of this sad path. This family has our sympathy.
