WINNSlIOto, S. C. Tuesday, July 17, 1877. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associato E<t'or. DEMOCRATIC TICKET. FOR CLERK OF COUIRT, W. H. KERR. FOR COUNTY ('0MM isSIC N .RH, R. E. ELLISON, SR., JOHN A. HINNANT, CORNELIUS -B. MEANS. A "crim"''s' 'ti'nEr.," will be found in our aivertising coluuns. Cap tain Clowney has expressed his de teriniuation b'ot.h before and since the conven.tion to abide its action, and not to accept oflice OXcept through the regular nomination. Captain Hinnant is the Democrat ic nomineo. Undor the resolution, ho will accept oflico if elected by tho Democrats, and not t horwi.ic The bringing out of such a ticket is extremely unfortunate. 1t can not be regarded by i)emocrat;. as the part is pledged to Esustain~ the nominations. The club bound the party, aid all who took arny part in the selection of delegates, and all who desiro tiro victory of Democratic principles, must abide by the action of the convention. The light is for the supremacy in the State of Do Imocracy and unity, or of Radical ism and ruin. There can bo no half way grolnd. Every man must look to the futuro and weigh the con - sequenece 'We hope the "citizens' ticket" will be withdrawn. Let the Democratic party' tan( shoulder to shoulder as it did last fall, when all personal preferences were merged .in an cffe:rt for the general good. Fairfield cannot go -back upon her record. Our Candidates. The Democratic criuiididaites nomi. nated on Saturday will prove wor~ thy servants of the peoleF. Mr. W. -Hopkins Kerr, tihe nomi no for clork of court, is al sm of the lato Win. Kerr, and was born in 1840. Aftor preparatory training, lie ontored the State Military Acade my and took a good stand, but left the senior class at the breaking out of the war, and volunteered in the Buckhcad Guards which formed a portion of the splendid old Sixth Regiment. In tile battle of Seven pines, Mr. Kerr lost his left arm, and wvas incapacitated from 'further 1 service. Returning home, lie on., gaged in planting. At tihe (lose of the war is~ property w~as swept away, but lhe wont to work mnfi'ully. In 1874 his dwelling house with its entire contents was destroyed by fire, the family barely' escaping. Last year he was nominated for - county commissioner on the Demno cratic ticket, but ,with the rest of the ticket was defeated. Mr. Kerr is a young -man, -grown up in a .time 'when the Democrats took noe piu't ini polities, and for that reason is nlot-'so generally known as older muon, but he is popular in his section of the county. He will make an efficient and piopular clerk of the court, while the people, by electing him, will showv an appro c intliion of the sacrifice lie has made for his.country in the less of a.limnb in her defence. For tho-board of county commn-is.. i'-ioners, was first nominated, by ac -elamnation, Cornelius J2. Means, col. ored, of Rtidgeway. 'This was a most commendable act, both asa 'stroke of fine policy in according rep~reswitation to thle colored p~eople, I. ~ andl as a reward of patriotic devo - .tion in -this particular -Jistance. Last year, when the fate of South Carolina was 'trewnbling in the bal 9' anco, and iyhile the lines wvore being 'drawn more setrictlybotween deconi coy and indecency, honestsy ainfldcor ruption,, Corneous Meansq joined thme *1 Democratie party. flis connections .and associates woero all Radicals of the deepeat dye, and after exhaust-, :ing poeuasion and appeals, resortedl to .threa and persecution.
