of Clarendon DO not care rap what you
think of somebody else, they want you to

for the Office you seek. Colonel Watson
should not persist in charging Governor
Ellerbe with appointing Aston to colon
elcy for consideration, because the
people know that such charge IS ground
less as well as slanderous. Candidates, We
