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. UHTIIIU COHVEHIOV HON H.

A (.'•rntlion. Haiii.km, Ga., feepL Ist, 1883. 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.
