SENATOR TILLMAN NOT CONTEMPLATING RESIGNING Politics are looking up. Tbe pro mary for county officers is but two weeks off and the candidates who have opposition are fairly humping themselves, meeting the voters and lining up their friends. The contests are good natured, but nevertheless keen, and the outlook is that no ef forts will be spared to get out the voters on election day. The race Tor county treasurer, be' tween Capt. Pat. Williams, the in cumbent, and Mr. James A. Pinkston Is taking on decided life, and the indi cations are tljat It will be a stren uous one from how on. Both candi dates have a host of friends, many of whom are working zealously in their behalf. The latest feature of thFs race was the issuing yesterday of a circular let ter to the voters by Mr. Pinkston, an swering rumors that have been afloat and offering to surrender all of the income of the office, except 8600 a year, to the county for good roads purposes. The letter, which Is being sen tto the voters all over the county, has this to say: “A number of my friends have ad vised me that It Is being talked over the county that my candidacy for treasurer is In the Interest of cer tain banks, and that these banks In duced me to offer for the position. I therefore take this method to posi tively state that I am not the candi date of any faction, but It elected, will serve with equal fidelity all the people of the county. “A large number of taxpayers came to me and urged that I offer for coun ty treasurer In tkle interest of the taxpayers; that the office paid the treasurer, under the commission at lowed by law, about 82,200; that there was very little work connected with the office, and a number of tb03e Importuning me to offer for the posi tion thought 8600 ample compensa tion for the services performed. Upon investigation, I came to that conclu sion, and believing my election would save the already burdened taxpayers 81,600.00 or more per annum, I con sented to become a candidate. "If honored with the office, I here by pledge to tbe voters of the county that I will retain 8600.00 per annum for my services daring my term of of fice, the remaining amount allowed under the law as commissions, I pledge myself to leave in thie treasury to be used to build good roads, and, furthermore, In the event of a bond issue for the purpose of building good roads throughout the county, I will not exact any commission whatever upon these bonds. “Honestly believing all public bene fits should be distributed among all the taxpayers vho bear the burden, when It can be cnnnlstently done, If elected, I will not keep all the public money In one bank, but will dlstlbute the county funds among the seven good and solvent banks of the county. “I will nppeclato your support If you can consistently give It to me. “Yours respectfully, “J. A. PINKSTON.” It Is not Improbable that there will be other letters to the public from other candidates, and tba campaign may assume quite an epistolary char acter in the next few day3.
