Io withdrawing from tbe race for
Commonwealth's Attorney, I desire
to thank in a public manner my sup?
porters and friends throughout the
county for their encouragement and
active Bupport in the beginning of
my campaign. The race is not really
on yet. On account of an adverse
opinion by Attorney-Geueral Ander?
son, concurred in by the only court
before which the question has been
raised, I find myself ineligible under
the new Constitution which requires
a two year's residence here to qualify
me for the office. I will probably be
a candidate for the Senate wheu I
have gained my residence.
Your obedient servant,
L. D. Teackle yuinby.
