A Washington telegram says tho FILL
ing Of the supreme court vacancy caused
by the death of Justice Clifford is SUBJ
ject Of considerable discussion. Ex-
Attorney General Devens and Chief
Justice Gray, Of Massachusetts, are can
didates for the appointment, and it
is said that every New England
state will have one or more candidates,
as it is assumed by that section that the
appointee will be from New England.
The talk of giving the place to ex Sena-
tor Conkling is regarded as absurd, and
Conkling's friends do not hesitate to say
that he would not have it. There are
some prominent republicans who hold
that a democrat should be appointed.
and by some it Is thought probable that
If Garfield survives he will appoint a
democrat.

ibout Making Tn Forms.

We make no criticism Of any of our
brethren for the manner in which they
make up their forms, but we think it per-
fectly legitimate to remark upon some
facts in regard to our elves. We like to
glance at, if we do not read carefully, oil
the editorial Or loca matter which we
may find in our eXch; ngcs, but to do this
in some instances is too great a draft on
u time and patience, and for this rea-
SON.: Some Of our most enterprising
exchanges put clippings. patent med
icine advertisements, and locals to-
gether, without any p~crceptiblc typo

too short to read clippings and patent

to say nothing of meeting and sorting out
such notices dozens of times every week.
ga place for everything, and everything
in its place." would add greatly to our
pleasure in reading some of our ex-
changes. There are a few Of them that
we cannot attempt to read carefully be-
cause of the mixed way in which their
forms are made up, and we have no doubt
that We often miss many excellent para
graphs for this reason. We know this to
be true, for we frequently see those pa
.pers credited with paragraphs which we
did not see when they originally ap-
peared. 1t may be, however, that
the subscriber has plenty Of time to
"sort' these notices, and that it is
no inconvenience to him. We haven't
time, however, to read a "stick full of
matter to find out that il is an advertise
ment and a cheat. Because Of this most
unsatisfactory way of making up forms,
some Of our exchanges are almost
worthless to US. Of course we do not ex-
poet anybody to make up forms to suit
us, but we give our experience as infor-
nation, which may account to them for
our failure to see important locals in their
columns,

WE COPY from the Etigcfcld Advertiser
n very strong and forcible article on the
system of "Internal Improvement for
Edgeficld County" The people of this
grand old county, are reminded Of the
very many advantages and facilities that
they possess e-Edrapsemeat 2
improvement of their county, In
placing it, as it deserves 10 be, in the
front rank of the counties Of the State,
in material prosperity we subscribe to
every word written in the article, and
would urge these people with the intens-
est earnestness. to think of the matters
suggested-to develope the that
they unquestionably possess. Let them
show to capital the advantages that are
theirs, and use every effort to have them
developed and utilized.
These are the days for Railroads and
improvement and no county so conspicu-
Gus as Edaetield has been for the public
spirit and enterprise of her citizens,
should allow the golden opportunity to
pass for her to enjoy these facilities, Which
she can most assuredly do if she will
make the effort. Grade the Railroads,
publish and proclaim the OF
your county, offer inducements to capt.
talists to make investments with you, and
the prosperity and advancement Of Edge
field county is al assured fact.

Death Of the President,

Bot,re the arrival OF the newspapers
vest :liay evening the telegraph had al
ready brought the intelligence of the
death, al Elberon, n. j., of James A.
Garfield, President of the United States.
He died at 1885 Monday night. AL
though the death of any citizen cannot
~perceptibly effect the veal or woe of a
nation like this, yet the sympathy and
personal interest which every citizen felt
for the unfortunate President caused the
great heart of the Nation to weep at the
death of her distinguished citizen. Ever
since he received the assassin's shot, the
greatest anxiety has been everywhere
felt. The most fervent prayers of the
righteous have assembled to the Throne of
Grace in his behalf, and the wisest medi-
cal skill have beon exerted for his re-
covery, but all to no avail. Lingering
end trembling in the balance since the
I'd of July, he died on the 10th of Sep
TENDER.

The Court at Camden.

In reading the sentences Of tho recent
Court at Camden we were Impressed with
the justice and mercy with which Judge
Cothran imposed penalties for the va
;ious crimes. From the mcager facts
published, We were gratified at the
Judges apparent fine discrimination and
evident willingness to punish the priso-
ncrs i'll mercy, and in accord with the de-
gree Of their different offences. In the
past the Courts Of this State have been, In
L opinion, very severe in imposing PEN
allies on petty offenders. 10 scntcnce'a
man to the penitentiary for five or eight
years for petty larceny is a greater Of
fence than the crime for which the con
vict is undergoing sentence. From a
close observation of the administration OF
justice in South Carolina, VIC have come
to tie conclusion that neither immoral
nor intensely pious men arc fit to hold in
cqu:poisc the scales Of justice. The i'm
moral Judge is not the man to punish
immortality, nor is the intensely pious
mai the Judge to deal mercitully and
Justly With the crring. His W great
moral strength, his great adherence of
sin, and his lack Of torbearance with a
weak brother incapacitate him for Civ
ing a fair and unbiased judgment between
the State and the prisoner at the Bar. If
any proof is needed Of the correctness of
this assertion, tho records OF the Courts
and the entries at the penitcntiary will
abundantly prove the justice of this crit
icism. We need Judges who are honest
from principle, and who are correct in
morals-men who are able to deal justly
while not forgetting to be merciful. We
want no man on the Bench who will for
the morest pretcXt, deprive a man of his
liberty for years, and who, by doing So,
has a consciousness that he is serving and
pleasing Him who said, vengeance is
mine"

The Farmers and their Debts.
(GeorgetoWn EnQuirer.l


The Hampton Guardian protests against the
advice which Is so freely showcred upon the
distressed farmers as TO the management OF
their farms and the payment of their debts,
and thinks that they ought TO belle alone. a
few more such meetings rs have been held at
Whitaker's, Savannah township and In York
county will demonstrate that perhaps after
all these exhortations to honest dealing were
not altogether unnecessary. We have no
doubt that the farmers, as a class, are disposed
to act fairly, but the spirit which was dcvel-
oped at these meetings is apt TO prove conta-
gious; and nothing Is more probable than
that this morbid breeding over misfortune, II
1t takes tho direction of an evasion Of legal
obligations, will grow into q deep-rooted de-
termination to avoid the payment of those OBJ
legations by every possible means. He Is no
true friend of the farmer who, by encouraging
such manifestations of reluctance to toe the
mark squarely, helps to array him in an at
titude of hostility to the merchant. Private
personal appeals to the latter for indulgence
will prove more effectual and far less danger
GUS than any organized effect to extort it by
public declarations of a hasty and Ill consIGs
cred nature.
