Nlcholls was, for a nuiubui of years, actively Identified with the militia of this State, having organized and brought to a high degree of effi ciency the llalmplon Guards, one of the crack infantry commands of the First South Carolina Ul'lgado. A year or so ago he resinned his commission, hut has remained in close touch with mil itary affairs. At present he Is an an nounced candidate for congress from the fourth district and his election Is conceded by political obsorvers. Thai he should glvo up certain political honors to "seok the bubble reputation at the cannon's mouth" does not come as a surprise to his closest ft lends, who know his wol! known martial proclivities, and they art; conjecturing just what effect, should the govern ment accopl his patriotic offer, it will have jn that district. Congressman Johnson will doubtlessly be greatly pleased by Col. iNlchoils' self-elh iina tion from the race, as he realizes it will be a hard matter for his political enemies to find another candidate as strong with tho voters as his present opponent, who la undoubtedly one of the most popular'men in the Piedmont.
