from the Governor of South Carolina

Powers for tiie murder of the Governor.
The sentence is life" imprisonment.
Powers expected a disagreement among

minutes. He came near fainting
when the verdict was announced .Now
for Taylor for his complicity, l.e should

For C.'erk of Court, J. F. Peakc,
presents himself for the first time asking
the suffrage of the people. lie is
in favor of rotation ia oflice and thinks
it about time tho present encumbent
was rotated out and some one else

1) Thus. II. Gore, for Cltrk of Court,
1 was b fore the poop's ouce more tor
tho otiiee < f Clerk ot Court, he thought,
t was abiut time to give him a trial
at it. lie was thoroughly competent
and qualified to discbarge the duties
?' the otlice, and believed ho coul 1
docotothe entire satitfactiou of all.
Did not believe iu keeping a ma l in
otlice until be might begin to think
it belohged to him instead of ihd peo
p'o. He said that aalioat was usually

the pen eleven jears /aliening aud
enjojiug the good food, while the
other little pigs cmid only g?t near
enough the peu to look iu, aud if they
ventured teo near they were booed at
to frighten them away. He did not
propose to be booed away. He wanted
the office aud was going to try to get
it, and if elected would give his beat
energies to its successful couduct aud
would be williug t> give some ouo
elae a showing before he had stajJ in
eleven to im.
J. H. McKiasiok, present Clerk of
Court, defied any one to point to any
misconduct ot his ofttjw. If it oauhl
be shown that he was incompetent
or was guilty of any misconduct, he
would step down an 1 out. otharwin?
I ho must construe his 1 ong term and
repeated elections to the same office
| aa an cvidenco of appreciation, an 1
I an endorsement by the people of a:i
accrptable c induct of the affairs of
the otliee. Did not propose to ca?t a
slur upon the people who had put him
there by stepping out to please
some one who wished to step in his
shoes. As t>? rotation they just wanted
to rotate him out and rotate themselves
in, that was the txtenl of their
rotation huw!i~g. Had never charged
a fie for looking up papers for any
ouo who came to his office, although
tic had a right to do po. 11.id always
