To the Democracy of Sumter Co:
Since the death of the lamented
Major T. M. Furlow, one of Sum
ter's grandest citizens, beloved by
all, I have been continually impor
tuned to run for the office of Col
lector of Taxes, in hjs stead. Hun-,
dreds of irieuds have iu.portumd
me, nnd assured me of i.belr hearty
support ami 'of my triumphant
elect ion.
Only tin honest acd grateful
heart can a) predate this unsought
but welcome devotion of his fellow
citizens. I Know I appreciate it in
the very highest degree. To be
loved, to be respected, to be trust
ed, by my fellow citizens, is the
highest honor I could ask. Wketh
or this should be evidenced by elec
Ion tooAlce or not, my high ap
predation remains the same.
But there Is another question
which by the rule of my life rises
above persona! ambition. It is
whether selAsh motives should
stand in the path of the weak and
the sorrowed aud the defenseless.
I fear my candidacy might so re
sult iu this case. The widow of
noble gentleman, his minor chll
dreu, and manly sentiment, all
suggest to my reason that quite
probably my candidacy would re
suit to them unhappily and disas
trously. I therefore announce that
I will net bj a candidate for col
lector of taxes. Jno. Ed Thomas

Mr. Thomas A Graham.
Editor Recorder Among the
names mentioned In your paper as
suitable candidates for aldermauic
honors, I notice that of the gentle
man whose name heads this arti
cle.
Will you allow one who has
known him for years, a small space
in.your valuable journal to say a
few words iu his behalf.
Mr. Graham is uo stranger to the
people of Americus. He has re
sided here for the last thirty years
or more. He was a member of the
celebrated “Cult’s Artillery,” and
served during the war, coming
home with a bullet in his person
which will remain there until time
with him shall be no more. He at
one time held the position of Al
derman, and gave general satisfac
tion. Several times since he lias
been solicited to All tlie same posi
tion, but declined.
Tills is a time that his services as
an Alderman will be of great ben
efit to the city, and it is to be hoped
that hq will be one of the three that
are to he elecled. Ills announce
ment seems to have met with gen
eral favor among all classes of our
citizens. Ho is a Coo business
man, a perfect gentleman, a friend
to all, an enemy to none. While
there are others who would make
equally as good an Alderman as
Mr. Graham, there is uo one who
would make a better one.
