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. I
Ertracts from the Election e'
Laws.

U the demagogues have taken this as

y The failure of the Legislature to pro

ofworking people will, we are sure, re
osuit in a political complication most
-ts disastrous to our political supremacy
and the real good of the State. It is
to be greatly deplored that the lien
law should haVe ever been enacted,
but having been in actual operation
for years and the people having looked
to it and not to their own industry
anid activity for a livelihood, its ab
rupt, instant, unconditional abolition
.will work inealculable injury to the

CIRCULARI.
TO THE VOTERS OF .EWPErRY.
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.'
SILAS JOHNSTONE.
FOR THE HERALD.
MESSPS. EDITORS-I have been informe(
that I as one of the Commis-ioners of Elec
tions said, that D. R. Phifer was appointe<
one of the Manageis at Whitmire's Box be
cause Silas Johnstone requested the commis
sioners to do so. Now I unhesitatingly pro
nounce it an infamous lie.
I would furthermore state that I recom
mended that a known Republican of intelli
gence should be placed on the Boardof Man
agers of Eection for each precinct, if sucl
an one could be found, and the Board acte(
in accordance with that recommendation
The same privilege was accorded to us by.,
Republican government, and fairness req.!
res that we should act on the same principle
There should not be the shadow of a doub
of a fair election ; our honor, our pledgei
demand it. JAMES F. GLENN,
One of the Com'rs.
A CARD.
GENTLEMEN EDITORS: Allow me througl
the columns of the HERALD, to request th4
voters of Township No. 6, and my friend!
throughout the County, to rally in their ful
strength vn the 3d of January, and cast theil
votes for the nomiaee of the Democrati<
Convention. The present election I xegari
as the most important that we have had sinci
the war. A despel ate effort will be made t<
defeat us; if they succeed, let us stand righ
side up on the record.
