Holly Springs South: 1t is time our
DemOcrstic-C Conservative voters were
turning their attention in earnest to the
approaching election. The Radicals
have opened the campaign. Their can
didates are swarming, and as most Of
them are Office-hOlders, having no other
calling or business, their whole time and
energies are devoted to the one object Of
securing votes. AS matter of business,
Radicalism must oe defeated in No
Vember.
The Holly Springs South says OF the
recent Radical convention in that town:
The following persons announced them
selves candidates at this meeting: Major
Howe Of Pamela, the present congress-
man, and Colonel Wells, candidates for
congress from this district, Mr.. Buchanan
for state treasurer, Mr.. Stearns for dis
trict-attorney, Mr.. Gill for sheriff, and
Colonel Nabers for chancery clerk.
Every single white member Of the COM
mittee is thus not only an off1ce-holder,
but an office-seeker. A large proportion
Of the members-seven Of the eleven
are colored, but everybody we'll knows
that the four Whites-Buchanan Gill,
Wells and Nabers-can and do mold
their colored co-members as the potter
does his claw
