GENERAL GARY's CANvAss.--A

GENERAL GARY's CANvAss.-A few
papers III the State have openly pro-
claimed themselves for Gen. Gary as
our next Governor. Tho Camden
Journal, Marion Star, Beaufort
Crescent and Georgetown Times all
declare for Gary, while the Abbeville
Medium, and the Charleston Wutchnaa,s
seem to have q strong leaning III that
direction. Some Of these papers
nominate Lamb Buist Of Chaleston for
the second place. Mr.. Dunlop, .
Presbyterian clergyman from Marion,
Superintendent Of Education. This is
about as far as nominations have
gone.
Gary and his friends are making =
simultaneous move all along the line,
n,a,loeuvreing for position. Starting
thus early they may bring all their
forces and energy to bear on the conn
paign, and If success is not attained ,
the fault will not be for: want Of an
carly start and persistent work. 45
No other nominations have been
made. The great majority OF the pa
pers are silent as to tho mon who are to
be our standard bearers in the next
campaign, but when the time comes
for speaking out they will be heard
from. Wepublicly declare at this time

FIVE dollars l owe him for a pair OF

"Then you owe him five dollars p
"To be sure | do, but he's gone

if you owe him 2"
because he's sued me, and when

you can"
"But it will cost you as much as
him.
81 don't care for that. What do
you charge to begin with 2"
"Ten dollars, and more if there's
much extra trouble"
"All right. There's the Y. Now

No sooner was his client gone,
than Squire Johnson stepped across
to his neighbor Smith and offered
to pay the bill on condition that
the suit should be withdrawn. The
shoemaker gladly accepted-all he
wanted was his pay. The lawyer
retained the other five for his fee,
and as the case was not trouble
some he made no further demand
upon his client.
Ten days after Jones came to
see how his case was getting on.
Gall right" said the lawyer, "you
won't have any more trouble about
that. put it to Smith so strongly
that he was glad to withdraw the
suit altogether"
"Capital!" cried the exultiug
Jones. "You have done it up
brown. You shall have my bust
ness hereafter"
