DO WN AND OUT. By the communication printed be low, our readers will learn that Mr. F. j L. Brinson retires from the race for Clerk of the Superior Court, which leaves Col. Boll without an opponent.— Iu retiring from the contest, in our humble judgment, Mr. Brinson has done a noble, and a magnanimous act, for which he will receive the respect of all who are capable of appreciating a gen erous deed. [ Communicated.'] Messrs. S. J. Bell and Frank L. Brinson, both candidates for Clerk of the Superior Court, have left it to us to determine whether they shall contin ue the contest, or whether one of them shall decline in tayor of the other, aud if so which one shall come down. After taking a full survey of the matter, we th>nk Mr. Brinson should come down They are relations; Mr. Bell lost a leg in the service of his country; he uow fills tho office, and has discharged his duty well and faithfully—he has but small means of support, while Mr. Brin son is doing well as a planter. Under such circumstances, we think Mr. Brin son can retire gracefully from the con test, and in doing so perform a magnani • mous act to a relative aud a gallant, soldier. We, therefore, recommend that course to bixn. Thos. A. Blanchard, W. A. Wilkins. Consented to by us. F. L. Brinson, 8. J. Bell. December 21st, 1882. ICommumcated.j * To the Voters ol Burke County. FOR BHKRI7F, s, WALTER 8. CIODBEE. The people are directly interested in the elec tion of a competent man to fill the office of Shoriff. This position is more arduous, and car ries with it a graver responsibility than any other we shall be called on to fill at tho coming election in January. Tho Sheriff has to deal dlActly with all classes - is charted with tho ex ecution of the laws, the apprehension and arrest of criminals, and tho pres wvntion of the public peace. Vast Interests, public and private, are entrusted to 1.1s keeping, and he is frequently placed in positions where irtelllgon- judgment, unbending purpose and a stout heart are called into requisition. He is also the aotive piece, the great driving-wheel in the machinery of county government, and upon tho faithful performance of his duty deponds the free aud easy locomo tion of the whole- Intelligence, firmness, courage and Industry, coupled with rigid impartiality and a conscien tious repaid for the rights of individuals, ure absolute qualifications In the general make up of a competent Sheriff. It Is not nnfroquently the case that the Sheriff of a great county Is the unsuspecting dupe, or tho willing tool of some one limn, or sot of men, who use hint for their own seitisn purposes—wno make turn the instru ment of oppression, or, through his partisanship j obtain unjust advantage over others, which they I could not under an impartial execution of the law. A g"od Sheriff in the discharge of his oHl- oiul duties should recognize no ’’power behind the throne,” save that of the law, or of tho Court, whose mandate ho executes. He should act with kindness, courtesy and discretion, yet always with firmness. 8uoh a Sheriff, we believe maybe found in the person of Mr. Walter 8. Godbee, whom we earn estly rocoramond to tho support of the people for that office. Born and reared In tho county of Burke, he Is familiar with all of her by-ways' and with her people. MANY CITIZENS. —Dr. ITolleyman has on his shelves one of the prettiest displays of Chris’- mas goo<w we have seen in town.— The finoMof Fronoh candies, presents for the Btle ones and presents for all clasps »f grown people garnish his HhelvesAnd it is really a. pretty sight to steran and take a look at bis stoMc.

But longer forbear ance has ceased to be a virtue, and we now say to the pos master at Heath, that if these complaints continue to come to us we shall take the trouble to investigate the matter, and complain where coVnplaints will do good, —In our issue to-day will be found the attractive advertisement of J. B. White <fc Co., 740 Broad street, Au^ gusta, Ga. Our citizens will be going to the city in large numbers during tho Christmas holidays, and we feel that we are doing our people a favor to call their attention to this great business bouse, and when we recommend a house to our readers, we believe it is to their interest to heed it. This firm sells no shoddy goods, and our word for it every customer will find each article just as represented. Wo, therefor, confidently call the special attention of our readers to their advertisement of J. B. White j & Co., and say to our people when you i try them your opinion will be the same a* our*. —Tu another column to-day our read •rs will find a renewal of the advertise mentofMr. James Miller, at Miller’s Corner, Augusta, Ga. Mr. Miller has been in business in Augusta for more than 30 years, and has uever failed or made an assignment, and belter than all, during that long career of business, and among the many thousands of his customers not one ever yet said that JaroeR Miller misrepresented an article he sold. It, therefore, gives us pleas ure to recommend Mr. Miller to our readers, and we now say that they will never trade at his counters and come away disKitipfied. Now, gentle reader, see his advertisement, and when you go to Augusta call on “the Old Relia ble ” where you will find an extensive and beautiful stock of dry goods to se lect from, and we know you will come home thanking us for directing you there.
