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.

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.

come from one, but all. We have foro-
borne to say anything, hoping the post
master there would see it to his inter
est to do his duty. 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

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

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
