The New Year begins with bright prospects. Many a long, dreary year sinee we have experienced such a beginning. To one and all, A Happy New Year. A New Volume. With this issue the Hm&L-D com mences a new volume and a new year, a most fitting time to com mence a new subscription or reneu an old q9. We would urge upon .-h1e-ibtice of all who are not sub scribers that we have put down the price to the nominal sum of Twc DoIL&R-n advance,-a very small amount when the value of the pa per is considered ; a smaller sun than is squandered for many idle habits which do more harm thar good. Every one in the county who can read should be a sub scriber to a paper which will make a regular weekly usit always full of the freshest news both as tc what is transpiring at home and abroad, and which is furnished for so small an amount. We feel grat ified in being able to state that al ready many have given us their names with the money, but we want others ; the more subscribers we have-paid up ones-the better can~ we make the Hr.'~ Come up then, friends, and lend us youi aid, and help us through the year. The Sumter Election. An election was held in Sumter County a few days ago for a Repre sentative. The Democratic Con vention nominated a candidate ; but large numbers of the Democrats stayed at home on election day~ flattering themselves that "the Re publicani party was dead," and it was no use to vote. But when the polls closed Johnston, a Republi can, had seven hundred majority. Then, to make bad biatters worse, some Democrats stole the boxes and broke them up. The question of the election has not been de cided ; but will be referred to the Legislature. If Johnston was fairly elected he should get his seat. But the point we wish to make is, that Democrats should turn out and vote as one man on Thursday, and thus secure the election of their candidate beyond the peradventure of a doubt. The Lien Law. We think the repeal of the Lien Law would have been proper if the law had been made to take effect two years hence. But its repeal so suddenly is bound to cause much suffering and hardship. The far mers, at least those who have been compelled to give liens, are not prepared to begin so soon on a cash basis, and they have no col laterals in existence. If not allowed to pledge their year's work for sup plies how are they to get them'? If they h ad had a year or two S'warning they might possibly have 'le to meet the emner gedncy. The greatest evn '~ uIt from the sudden repeal of the ~. ill be that many employers will no able to provide supplies for thei employees. The employees can't get them otherwise-honestly. They must have something to eat, and they will have so ln~ as there is a Elsewhere will be found the Sec- 39 retary's report. All we propose to do is to put in a few "chinks" here and there. There was an unsually large attendance of delegates, and the Court House was crowded with f T interested spectators. For the Le-! gislature Geo. Johnstone vias non- E Iinated by John McCarley, and W. M. Dorroh by Michael Werts. J' S. Hair spoke in favor of DorroL; a thought he was entitled to the nom ination because he was the nominee' at the last general election, and fought the battle faithfully then, in Io the face of many and great difficul- W ties. The rule had been hitherto followed in filling vacancies to nom b( inate the same old candidates. Did not see why the rule should not be followed in this instance. He also h preferred Dorroh because he was a , farmer; wanted to see that class a 'ully represented in the Legislature. v( Thought professional men got too big a share of the offices. tI Y. J. Pope spoke for Johnstone; 3 preferred him, not from profession- j al considerations, not because he C was a lawyer, or a farmer, but sole-r ly because of his eminent fitness A for the public service. He alluded in flattering terms to the services tj of his candidate in the contested ti cases from this county in the Legis- ti lattv-e last winter. J. F. J. Caldwell took sides with 1t neither candidate; thought it un- F fortunate that the question of pro- el fession had been raised. The main ti question in selecting a candidate, after being satisfied of his compe- tl tency, is the practicability of elect- a ing him. Both candidates are com- i petent ; which stands the best e chance of being elected ? On the first ballot 54 votes were y cast: Johstone received 33, Dorroh ti 21. Johstone's nomination was made unanimous. T For School Commissioner A. L. to Wyse nominated H. S. Boozer; A. s J. Kilgore nominated Rev. J. C. Boyd ; W. W. Riser nominated J. st Belton Werts ; W. T. Tarrantnom- t' inated John A. Chapman. On the n, first ballot the votes stood: Boyd di 21, Boozer 13, Chapman 10, Werts 5. On the second ballot Boyd re- lo ceived 34 votes.

Such deceit over I say deceit, for not all the young ladies es and gentlemen meant exactly what they r'S said for reasons I shall leave unsung. Then, as formality ended, Misses X. S. and C.

At the request of Conservative Democratl< friends, I have been induced to accept th( nomination to fill the vacant seat in the Le gislature. No regular nomination in primary rme!t ings has been made. Clubs by immemoria usae are not nominating bodies. They mai meet and nominate as individuals ; but i nomination.made by them is not the nomina I tion of a party. The nomination which I have accepted and from which I do not feel at liberty t( withdraw, was made also by individual com ponents of the Democratic *party. I 'there fore claim that it wa4 as regular as any nom ination that ha.s been made-and being thi first, in point or .ime, was not in oppositioi to any that has since been made. My w!ole life has been spent in this com munity, and my principles are very general ly well known. But as I desire that thos, who may support me, may do so under n misapprehension, I would state that at thi last general election, being in full accor< with what was designated as the Hamptoi platform, I voted the entire ticket nominate( by the Democratic party. And having adop ted the principles enunciated in that plat form, I adopted also all the pledges mad, therein. To that I stil! stand pledged, an< to subserve that end I accepted the nomina tion. It remains for me to pledge- myself to re deem, as far as I can, the promises hereto fore mad , and to represent, to the best 0 my ability the true inerests of all the peo ple, of every class in the countr.'
