There are people in Laurens city (1 county who are taking an inter in the candidacy of Capt. M. M. iford for Sheriff of Newberry counSomehow or other Newberry mis to he nearer to Laurens than es any other neighboring county, yway, and there are always, it apars to us, more people here from wherry than from any one of the icr sister cities in the circle. But that as it may, Captain Buford, 5 active, energetic and able sheriff Newberry county, is well known in urens, and his fine reputation oxuls all over the State, reaching far yond its borders.?Capt. Buford is one of "the famous war boys," d he has proved his bravery since ; election to the ofiicc which he now Ids, and on all occasions shows his ness for the posifion. A case of b right man in the right place is lingly shown in this instance. Capt. iford helped his county when most needed help, during the dark rcnstruetion days. He was in the dst of the Kn Klux Klan excitemt, and was the only man from iwherry county that was tried in o United States court for taking o part of South Carolina against b radical, scalawag and carpetbag d renegade hordes which inflicted r State. He suffered for Carolina war and reconstruction.
