(This is from our esteemed con temporary, The Edgefield Chronicle, of last week.) The campaign liar and the 11th hour character assassin is abroad in the land. Let not his nefarious and dirty misrepresentations alter you? good opinions of the candidates. Do not permit yourself to be influenced by what you hear whispered around or talked out boldly. If you want to investigate for your own satisfac tion, you can easily do this between now and August 27. Act on your own initiative in the matter, but do not be led around by the nose just because some fellow has noised about evil reports against a man who asks for your support at the ballot box. It is a reflection on your manhood to be directed as to how you should vote. Be guided solely by your hon est convictions and you will make no mistake. Parker-Hilton.
