To the Voters and Taxpayers ot Richmond County
For something over four years I have served the people of this coun
ty as a member of the Board of County Commissioners. Sixteen months,
of that time I have acted us Chairman, and, In all these years, 1 have
endeavored to do my part In the conduct of the affairs of the County upon
a hustneis basis ami without political nr factional bias. I know his:
during iny administration as »Chali man, the Interests of the county have
been subserved and economy lias been practised and that, absolutely
there has been no politics In nny action of the Hoard.
The results are shown In the Improved physical and financial condi
tion of the county. The public debt has been decreased more than $45,-
000.00 and every department kept up to standard. Continued progress and.
I think I may say, marked Improvement have been made on the roads.
A number of reinforced ateel concrete bridges an- projected for this yeur,
thus bringing our highways up to the very highest standard.
I will stake my business reputation that. If re elected and retained In
chairman, In two more years we will get the county entirely out of debt,
give the county a progressive administration and, at the end or that time,
risluce tnxes from 67 cents to 40 cents a hundred.
I have seen no criticism of our administration of county affairs.
Then why is the opposition to my re-election so fierce and why am I he
Ing slngled-out for an entirely unneers ary and wholly unprovoked politi
cal fight.
I am thoroughly familiar with the affairs of the county, know where
economics can be practiced and ought to be mode, anil I listc a laudable
ambition to carry out policies which I believe will Inure to the benefit of
all the people; and when that Is (lone 1 shall he more thun willing to
retire.
I appeal to the taxpayers and to the thoughtful people of this county
to uphold tny hands and let me continue the work In which 1 am earnest
ly engaged. Hcspectf ally,
