Editors Fqyciie County Herald,
'Tis wonderful how the desire fol
office among the American people
is on the increase amounting to a
mania. 1t seems to pervade all
classes, sccts and conditions, inclu.
ding the ignorant and unqualified
as well as those Of experience and
qualification,
Nor is our counry free from this
prevailing mania, The good old
days when office sought the man
have iled,and it Is now a scramble
for the offices, regardless of At.
ness or ability to 6ll them. The
dozen or more candidates for Coun-
ty Treasurer will illustrate this
Take the list and point out three
who have capooity--I do not mean
presumtion or forwardness, but
qualification for the duties Of the
office.
This being Republican county,
II is supposed that all these gentle
men claim to be Republicans, un.
waveripg, unfinching devotees Of
the party, asking its support on the
ground of meritonous service IN
that behalf.
Among thosemaking the gredtes
exertions to obtain this Office is The
Rev. Mr. Morris, invoking party

first one, passed a year ago last
winter, provided that any judge OF
an election who should receive a
ballot from any man with a visible
admixture of African blood, should
be imprisoned in the county Jail for
not less than six months. This
law was the result of the first ses-
