COL. WILSON IN kERSHAW.
The Camden Journal of the 9th ultimo
says:
The dull routine of our office business was
broken on yesterday when Col. W. B. Wilson,
of York county, honored our sanctum with
visit Col. Wilson is one of the most prominent
lawyers of the up country, and bya long life
of character, capacity and rectitude has en-
deared himself to the people of his section. He
has occupied the most prominent positions of
honor and trust in his county, and to day is
unanimously indorsed by his people. Col.
Wilson is candidate for Congress from this
Congressional District, and we know of no
one in the confines of the Fifth District that
could more ably fill the position. He has
every element necessary for such work, and
we feel satisfied that he would be an ornament
to the State in the high role of Congressman.
We wish him success.
