THE words Of cheer which We re-
ceived last Sale Day were indeed graf
flying. Citizens from all SECTIONS spoke
in the kiudest terms of the Press u"d
Bnnncr. They all say the Press and
Banner is right on the crop question II
it would only rain. We have often
been asked what our people should do
about the turnip crop dur;ug this dry
weather. We will tel! them what an
experienced farmer told Us on Sale
Day. Prepare the land nicely, and
then scatter the turnip seed Oh top of
the prepared ground. They will re-
main there until the rain, which Will
b at in the see:i. If the seed are COW
cred they will >prout after Tie first
slight rain. and the sun will Kill them
out, but it is contended that ii >own
in the way recommended, that the crop
is sure. We haven't tried the expert
ment.
ELEVEN Sons IN THE WAH.-Wc
are informed that Capt. George AN
derson whose death We chronicle to-
day, had eleven sons on the field OF
war ut one time. Several were wound-
ed bat so far rs we can find out, no
one was killed. Can anybody beat
that? Until we heard of this remark
able instance, we used to brag on The
fact that three fathers OF Abheviile
county. MIR. Robert Wardlaw, Mr..
Haskell and Mr.. Wis Sharpe of CokeS-
bury, met one day on our public square
during the war, and, OH comparing
notes, found that they, as three IA
theirs, had twenty-eight sons in the
field. Let us hear from other counties
and States.
LONG AGO in ari>tocratic times,
Judges and Clerks OF Court held office
for life. Forty or fifty years ago, the
Clerks were made elective every tnul
wears. Fifteen years z the Judges
were also made elective every fout
wears. Now ONT of our peop pie want
tn take the back track. They say
Judges that stay in office for life are
better officers than those who are elect
ed every four years. The same rule
ought to apply to other officers. The
Clerks of Court in olden times were
perhaps no better officers than our
friend Ziegler. Let's make all the Of
fcers tenure for life. They have t,
discharge their duties with the same
fidelity.
If we give the Circuit and Supreme
Judges their office for life, let us ii" tn.
same thing for Probate Judges, Sher'
ifs, Clerks Of Court, T~reasurers, Aud
itors, &c &c. BY doing this we save
ever so much. BY making a Legisla-
tors tenure of Office for life, the trou'
BILE of elections might be forever dis
pensed with. When one LegislatoI
dies the Governor might appoint
successor, and then when the Gov
ernor dies the Legislature could cleo
q Governor. This would relieve TIT
people of all trouble of elections
They wouldn't have anything to do
but to pay taxes.

eight acres of bottoms. He is aheac
of any in the county though there are
several farmers yet to hear from.
Mr.. C. H.. LINTICUM was In tow
Saturday. MIR. Joseph II. Lyon, O
Augusta was about TO bny his land il
White Hall but before matters were
finally settled, the contracting partie
agreed to disagree, and Mr. Linticun
is still in the notion of selling out.
THE officers of the State are said t
be the servants of the people. Bu
some people would make an exceptIol
in the case of a Judge. All oil
ficers are expected to do their duty
Can Judges do more, that they shoul'
hold office for life?
