Among oilier nominee* the »>«»»'
of Hon. S. C. Lmukin ataml* at tin
head of our column* to-day. Mr. ■
Ijaiukia received a handaomn majority
al the recant election us the choice
of thia county to represent the 2!ttli
Senatorial District, and on Saturday j
last waa made the nominee of the :
Senatorial Convention. He baa had
considerable experience in legislative
rnattara in former ycara as a repre- |
aenlative from thia county in the
Lower Houae, and doubtloaa this, '
coupled with experience and cloae ob
servation an a progreaaivc fanner and
public spirited gentleman, will be
able to bring these prerequisites to
l>ear to considerable advantngo in
looking after the interests of the
whole district.
As the standard bearer of our peo
ple he will have the support of tins
pit|M>r, not only at the ballot box, but
in every measure that looks to the
good of the people.
Mr. George Olive.
Tuesday’s contest decided the tie
lietwaen Messis. F. D. Gray and j
George Olive, forth n office of Clerk!
nnd Treasurer of this comity, by the
election of the latter.
Loyalty to the principles of Dem
ocrats? demands of every voter in this
county that he should now give Mr.
Olives hearty support and endorse
nient. Whatever differences may
have existed before the result was
reached should now, in the spirit of
party harmony and good will to all.
bo laid down.
In this connection the Sintinu. now
extends the hand of congratulation
to Mr. Olive nnd with it u hearty
••God bless you." He is the nominee
of the party and shall have the undi
vided support of this paper, nnd in
doiug so we entertain, as we have al
ways done, the highest opinion of Mr.
Olive. Every trust committed to him
will be safely guarded, and we sincere
ly believe that every duty will be
faithfully performed.
Il is to lie hoped that breaches
made by the late contest between
neighbors will be speedily healed,
and iu doing ho wo believe we voice
the earnest desire of the victorious
candidate, to whom nothing would be
more agreeable.
Personal pieferenco is admissablo
and perfectly legitimate until ti de
ciaion is reached at the ballot box,
and then there should boa unit in
supporting the man who by a majori
ty of votes becomes the nominee of
the party.
Success to you Mr. Olive, and may
your official record be like that of
your private—one u]s>u which you
can look with becoming pride.

Epitoiis Sentinel:
I wish to correct an item that ap
peared in a New’ York paper and was
copied in your hist issue. 1 said to
that Editor (who is my nephew) that
15 years ago 1 went from Savannah
to Columbia county, and put up a
saw mill in the woods, cut the timber,
cleared the land and built me a home,
nnd ten years ago 1 moved to the
railroad, where there was a few houses
and its only business houses were two
whisky shops. A friend and former
partner of mine, Mr. S. C. Lamkin,
was our Representative and through
his influence we got a n«‘W charter
with a < 1 iiiho prohibit ng tli<
Hale of intoxicating drinks. I then
put up a planning mill and com
menced building houses, some I sold,
others I kept and rented, and as the
place grew of course I grew with it,
and ill present I own quite a slice of
the town which now number betw. < n
5 and G hundred inhabitants. He
wanted to know how many buildings
1 owned, I told him 1 thought some
30 or 40. and when in Augusta a few
days before, 1 was in at the store of
Deveney, Hood A Co., and Mr. D.
called n friend in and told him he
] wanted to introduce him to the man
that owned half of Harlem. These
are facts and I am sorry that the con
versation was not reported correctly,
i as 1 don't wish to rob other worthy
citizens of justly earned laurels.
Respectfully,
11. A. Cook.
