Our Next Congressman.

We clip tue following complimentary
notice Of Hon. Frank Hereford, the able
and efficient Representative in Congress
from tho Third District from the Charles.
ton Courier. We most heartily endorse
the sentiments Of "Kupawha," and be.
licve, with him, that Major Hereford
should be re-nomiuated and returned to
Congress for another term.
The time is approaching for the Demo.
cratic and Conservative party Of the third
Congressional District to consider who shall
be our next Representative. because nom.
ination by the party is equivalent to an
election. Several names might be suggest;
ed from whom good selection could be
made; but no one can be named who has
as many claims for the Office as the Hon
Frank Hereford, our present efficient Rep.
rescntative. Mr.. Hereford has done more

generous support of the Sd District, than
any other person Whenhe ran for Con.
gress at the last election be began what
was regarded as almost hopeless race, and
by his untiring energy, turned the tide Of
success in our favor II would be gross
ingratitude, now that victory is easy, to
push him. aside for another candidate
Since be has been in Congress be has
worked with zeal for the interests Of his
constituents lie has been particularly
