The Carrollton Democrat speaks of
some persons in Lowndes county who are
DESTROYS to bring James Whitfield, of that
county, out for Governor. 1t is time that
some other counties in this State had a
chance besides Lowndes. There cannot
be an election of any sort, in any part of
State, that Lowndes county does not offer
candidate. Hold off, gentlemen, for a
little while; you have had liberal share
of all The offices, both State and Federal,
and let others have small show.
